This may look better of you click on it and enlarge it to see detail.
This two page layout is about my special time living in Esperance. It is a beautiful ocean town in Southern Western Australia and during these years I worked so hard. I worked incredibly long hours and built my amazing career from the ground up. I was so grateful that early mornings and every afternoon, I often had eleven miles of beach and coastline all to myself. The peace, the ocean life, the long walks and diving wound me down for those long days and nights. 
I used the CENTREPOINT function on the Cricut to cut the photos and their mats into perfect circles. I used Shabby Wrinkled Ribbon from Prairie Bird Boutique and I love the way the ocean bundle of colours created this wave.
Nanne is our sponsor for this week's challenge. She is giving away a variety of Webster Pages scrapping supplies. 

 This will be my last post with Whimsical Wednesday.
I have some huge life changes coming up. I'll be working so hard I'll be wishing I had the Esperance beaches again! 
Thank you so much to Stephanie and her fabulous DT!

    Gorgeous layout Chloe. The pictures are so beautiful--maybe someday I could get to Australia! That centerpoint feature is pretty neat, isn't it!? That's so weird because I just used it last night on my Expression for the first time--to line up wording I wanted to put on some images! I'll be posting it later tonight, so stop by tomorrow (your time). Love the ribbon for the waves. Very nice!!--Pat

    Chloe this LO has truly inspired me! Just looking at it brings so much peace and serenity. What you have done with the ribbon is beyond amazing. So creative! I really need to figure out that darn center point thingy in cricut.

    Well girly it has been wonderful having you on my team, and having you as a friend. You have been an inspiration to me in so many ways, and all of your wisdom that you have shared with me, I will carry with me for the rest of my life! I am so happy for you and I know that you are going to do wonderful in the "new" things in your life. I could write you a book so I will just say thanks for everything...and remember that I am holding you to your return in 2013! You don't want me to become a crazy stalker and have me show up at your door in Ausie:) Love ya girl:)
