I am posting this even though I am not happy with the way it turned out.  I guess more than anything I am posting it because of the amount of time I spent in creating it ... as you do!  The kit is Africa by Alicia Mujica and the tube's name is Spring (Alicia created her back in 2012).  I selected her from my vast collection of Alicia's tubes because she was the only one that kinda looked outdoorsy and fitted with the theme of the page.  The flower side border was made using a template I had created from one of Carole's tuts.  The 'banner' was the result of playing around with the selection tool which is a tool I loooove.  I created the alpha for this kit as there was not one included so I used the available papers and went to work with the font Cooper Black, Vector tube script, Carole's natural rope picture tube, monogram bevel and small shadow on the natural rope.   I was then able to create the SAFARI title.  Thanks for takin a peek my friends.  ;)

So glad to hear it Corrie and I sure look forward to some more of your delightful pages.

P.S. Take time out for Corrie too ... golden rule when 'nursing' someone! ;D

Sue, such beautiful subway art and labels ... your work just keeps on getting better. Well done my friend. ;D

Very cute Dorothy and the same to you my friend. ;D

F = Fruit Juice (jus thought I would add to the sobriety elements)!!!

Would be fun Lynda ... lol!

Corrie, best wishes for your husband's speedy recovery. That's the problem with hospitals, things don't always go to plan. I hope he gets home soon and your life can get back to normal ... even if it is a 2020 normal! ;)

Cristina, thank you very much for your lovely compliments on my work, very much appreciated my friend.

Karon, your comments on my work are truly appreciated, thank you very much.

Ann, delightful Christmas card and lovely photo of the buck ... almost as if he simply posed for you!

Lynda, I'm with Karon, when can we get together ... however, I'm a bit like your Margarita after I've had a few, lol!

Thanks Sue ... very much appreciated my friend. I love the colours of autumn but, then again, I think I say that about every season! ;D

Job well done Dorothy. Nice work on the snowflakes, brads and flowers etcetera and ... I just love those flip flops (thongs as we know them here in Australia). Beautiful photo of the sunrise/sunset! ;D

With Thanksgiving all but here I thought I would make a card and envelope to commemorate such and to get some practice in as well.  Thanksgiving tubes I have had forever and the background paper I made by using gradients and overlays ... twas fun!  Thanks for takin a peek my friends.  ;D

Thanks Sue ... yeah, gotta love those slow cookers! And, you are very welcome my friend. ;D

Karon and Sue, thank you very much for your lovely comments on my Brigitte page, always appreciated my friends.

I love this page Ann, well done. Adam is a very lucky cat, paw out at just the right time ... I think it was definitely a signal ... hey, I'm here stop looking at anything else and take me home! I have a black cat named Izzy and I agree with you about their intelligence as she is a master at the art of manipulation! ;D

What else can I say other than your cards, envelopes and pages are truly beautiful Sue ... your work always gets a huge thumbs up from me ... and is a sheer delight to view.

Our Spring is all but finished here in Australia and the heat is already cranking up. Windows and doors remain closed and fans circulate at top speed. Curtains remain closed too otherwise the heat off the windows intensifies the heat inside. Not many cool spots to be found and no rain to date. The yard already looks like a desert with only the weeds thriving. This extended drought period seems to be affecting the Wide Bay Burnett region only as other parts of Australia have experienced flooding. Go figure, climate is an amazing thing. Funny though, I do love it in kinda the same way as Precious Ramotswe loves Botswana. I don't know whether you have read any of the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series but they really are innocent and precious. Author is Alexander McCall Smith.

Prattled enough when all I really meant to say was ... YOUR WORK IS WONDERFUL!

Hi Scrapbook Campus.  Played around with another Alicia Mujica tube today.  Scrap kit was Natural Breeze by Carena from DigiDesignResort, layout by Elif Sahin from Pixel Scrappers, background paper was created following Carole's tut Simple Blocking and using the papers from the scrap kit.  Font for the title is Batik Deco.  Thanks for takin a peek my friends.  ;D

Your appreciation is ... of course ... appreciated! Thanks Art ... just being silly this morning. Any words of encouragement are always welcomed. Perhaps 2021 will be kinder to us humans as long as we are kind to it. ;D

Sue you are true and correct ... it only takes one of Carole's tutorials to inspire creative work. And, since I consider you to be a master at the art of creating Christmas cards I am stoked that you liked my card. Thank you very much my friend. ;D

Karon this is a very effective page. The starburst background really draws the eyes to the centerpiece, very clever. Overall it is a page that any Star Wars fan would be proud of! Thanks for your praise on my work ... always appreciated my friend.

Thanks again Cristina ... big hugs to you! ;D

Dear Sue, a very clever piece of subway art. I love how you took a phrase and manipulated it to fill the page. Hat off to you Hun ... oh, and I love your card to boot especially the way the snowman is sneaking a peek at the owl ... good fun. ;D

Thanks Cristina! ;D

I love what you did with your page Dorothy and what a clever doctor you had as a babe. My mum used to put a wee bit of brandy in her babies bottles at night when they were teething ... helped them to sleep and the rest of the household as well! Thanks my friend. ;D

Hello Scrapbook Campus Friends.  For the subway art I decided to go with a list of things that make me happy.  Thanks for takin a peek!
