Scrapjack March 31

I discovered the Aussie Scrapjacked site after reading the blog article in the latest Scrapbooking Memories. I'm so inspired, and have created a blog just to include my layouts now! Just starting out, so please pardon the poor quality photo!

The quote forming the title "Happiness Shared" is by Chris McCandless, a guy who trekked alone through Alaska but unfortunately died. It says "Happiness is only real when shared". I got this quote from the movie about the guy, "Into the Wild". I love this quote as it's so true, and rings particularly true for me. I spent 15 months on working holiday in the UK/Europe, and loved every minute of it. But I did get lonely and homesick at times. When my parents, brother and sister-in-law came to visit, it was great to have company with people that knew me well, instead of new friends, for a change. These photos are of my brother and sister-in-law, taken on Brighton Beach in England. I spent a lot of my time in England in Brighton, and loved walking by the beach while I was there. This seemed so much more fun when my family was around though!
Anyway, looking forward to uploading more of my layouts in the future AND gaining inspiration from everyone else! :)
