Simple layouts, but they tell the story of her sister's great love for her garden, and that's what scrapbooking is all about, sharing those memories with others.... thanks very much Gina.

If you have some great garden layouts containing three photos or more, please send them in to mealin@optusnet.com.au and we will post them for you.

Hello again
Dale has sent in a great looking layout for us:-

Submitted by Dale Tiernan
Booragoon, Western Australia

I just love those papers she has used - they suit the theme so well don't they. She has used Cherry Arte Boy Story - Count Loud and MLYB Gen Z Striped Metallic Composite papers - I think they look great!! The little CM laptop embellishment just finishes it beautifully.

Dale is a regular contributor to our blog and challenges - thanks so much Dale and I look forward to receiving more of your layouts soon and Happy Birthday to your son for Tuesday!! :-)

Take care, Ann :-)
