always my STAR

This LO is certainly very different to the way it started out…when I first looks at the colour chart for colours to go with the (Australian)  green & gold  colours, I was searching everywhere for blue & red-violet LOL - coz those the split complimentary colours---believe it or not!

Anyways, this is a photo taken almost 20 years ago (1992) when my older son played rugby league for Chipping Norton (part of Canterbury Bulldogs junior league) in NSW J You can see he was a very proud player, and I have to say he was a very talented young player with huge potential – he even received an invitation to a New Zealand Warriors sports camp - for potential warriers :)…Now he has his own family including a son, I think he’s considering playing again one day !! …isn’t it interesting how life’s priorities change (for the better of course?

As usual you can see some closies below :)

I’m submitting this LO for the following challenges:

• Scrapping Outback’s November “White with a twist” : colours are white, green and brown.

·         The Box’s challenge#20 : 1 photo, 3 different patterned papers, 1 or more cardstock , stitching, punching, a quote or medium length journaling, embellishments

• Scrap the Boys November challenge: Scrap the boys in their colour/s of sports that they love

• Scrap Lounge November sketch : (turned on its side) Scrap Lounge is a new cyber place for me. I’ve met a couple of their design team IRL so thought I’d have a peek and so far I LOVE what I’ve seen. I’ve also put my name down for their “2012 12 days of Christmas competition” so I’m planning on entering that, just for fun from the 18^th November – why don’t you have a go too?
