Dropping in to post a few layouts I did some time back before continuing with my work.

These were some cute pics of my grans taken at a recent family dinner. Put my new chrysanthemum punch to work for the background and I like how quick it was to put together this  layout.

My memories of Seville is abit clouded by the wet and blustery weather. The day we visited the Alcazar was no different. I cannot say how much I love studying the clean yet intricate Moorish designs of the palaces and cathedrals found all over Southern Spain. The Islamic influence in a predominantly Catholic country is fascinating and I think the architecture in the region reflects this phenomenon more clearly than anything.

Florence conjures to the mind art and history and beautiful sculptures. These are all true. But one of my favourites spot in this Renaissance city is not the Uffizi museums but the splendid view from Piazzale Michelangelo. I've been there when it was sunny and swarming with tourists, when it was rainy and deserted and so delightfully peaceful and this time, I managed to catch a glimpse of a Florentine sunset from this rather underrated place.

 

 

I'm not lying when I say I cannot get enough of Cinque Terre. They're probably my favourite pics to scrapbook cos it has everything that makes a good picture - sunlight but not too harsh, blue skies, greenery, colourful houses, hills and the sea. Notwithstanding how much I love that place. It turned out to be a happy misfortune when we had to hike the more challenging Sentiero Rosso when parts of Sentiero Azzurro was closed due to a landslide.
