Christmas in the Park

Well as you know down here in the Southern Hemisphere we celebrate Christmas in the summer.  One of the big things locally is Christmas in the Park, it is a charity concert held in the Domain in Auckland City.  In 2011 my daughter was fortunate enough to be part of the entertainment.  It was a wonderful experience not only for her but the rest of the family.  The concert is also televised around NZ so it is quite a big thing.  As I am on a scrapbooking binge at the moment I pulled out the photos and made a couple of layouts. I am enjoying getting back into scrapbooking as I haven't done any in a while, so whilst looking for some inspiration I found a blog called Once upon a Sketch.  So this page is inspired by their August sketch.  I must say there are some really nice layouts on their blog......well worth a looksee.
My daughter is the taller of the two, the other beauty is her best dancing buddy.

The paper I used is from Websters Pages and the embellishments are a selection of Websters, Prima and Wild Orchid Crafts.  The journalling is computer generated as I am still not happy with my hand writing style, It seems to take over the page and I want my jouranlling to be a little more subtle.
