Narnu Farm - Scrapbooking Memories Magazine

Hi there everyone, Adriana here today sharing a layout that I have created with the papers from Meg's Garden collection, this collection is called -

"Art 1 papers" ..

This layout is featured in the special

issue of "Scrapbooking Memories" issue Vol 17 no 1

This issue is showcasing some amazing

talented creatives in Australia and New Zealand.

These are the papers that I have used to create this layout

all available from Megs Garden Website

The story behind the layout

"Narnu Farm" is situated on Hindmarsh Island 

in South Australia, near Goolwa. It is a cabin style farm which you can book accommodation to stay overnight and also feed the animals and look at life on a working farm.

My daughter went there for her school camp and

had a wonderful time with her teachers and 

friends from school. 

A very rustic truck sits at the entrance of farm for people to see as they enter the farm gate.

I created a corrugated rustic fence with the "Corrugated Iron" papers, but I cut them up and place brads at each end.I also

placed some "Burlap" paper under the matted photo, just for

an added rustic touch.

I created a cluster of flowers on the bottom of the photo, I handmade 2 flowers from some old vintage book paper.

I then added some Velvet Viola Posy flowers, Oatmeal flowers & Paper leaves, a touch of Burlap trim and also

added some Skeleton Mesh to the ends of the of flowers.
