It is with great pleasure that we welcome the incredibly talented LYDELL QUIN as our Guest Designer for June.
“Hi- I am Lydell Quin. I have been scrapbooking for 10 years now and still enjoy it! (Nice to be able to say that!) I co own and run The Color Room, (a colour challenge site) and am a Shimmerz Educator and Designer and I also Design for Helmar. I have 3 little people ranging from 9 down to 13 weeks and they keep me busy, and give me plenty to scrapbook! Luckily my DH enjoys the outcome of my art and has been known to keep children occupied so I can finish something I have been working on. We are from Adelaide, Australia. Its lovely to be able to play some more with these Manor House Creation goodies!
Thanks for having me!”

I love it when you look at photos and you can’t help but smile or laugh! I find photos of children are often like that, pure joy on their faces as they enjoy the wonders of life. This photo of Isabella is one of my favourites – the camera has caught her at a moment of pure happiness and it sure is catching!
The gorgeous background on the Thoughts Wandering ‘Beautiful’ paper provides a perfect backdrop to your photos with it’s neutral tones
I have used some mists over the page just to highlight the soft blue around the paper and in the flowers and a splash of beetroot colour to pick up the pop of colour from the Country Rose:

Hi Lovely People,
Trudi with you today sharing something created from the THOUGHTS WANDERINGcollection where the emphasis is on ‘beautiful’.
The larger design element was first fussy cut from the the ‘Sail Away’ patterned paper and then popped aside. It was later tucked in along the bottom of the photo.
To create the base of the layout – The ‘Postcards’ paper was trimmed and then affixed over the top (lighter side up) of the Sail Away paper. Before attaching add a little distressing to the edges.
Some background altering was added with a 12 x 12 mask and Lindy Stamp Gang sprays. When dry, a little white Gesso was randomly swiped over the top of the misting.
