Nothing New

I have been a terribly slack scrapper this past week so I have nothing new to share. I do, however, have a layout I can now share with you - it appeared in Vol 13 No 4 of Scrapbooking Memories magazine. :)

This layout was created using one of Sara's sketches back when I was on the CT at Stuck?!. It's about our hire car from our Perth trip - we'll never forget it! LOL

In the same issue was my Masters layout for the Kaszazz challenge but I forgot to photograph it before I sent it away and now it's packed away in an album somewhere. Oh well.

We have a busy weekend coming up - off to a cocktail party tomorrow night and then it's Sports Day for the kids at school on Monday. And then I am due at the dentist bright and early Tuesday morning. I'm exhausted just thinking about it! Hope you all have a great weekend!

Thanks for stopping by...

Forever Friends

Do you ever wonder how your kids will get on when they become adults? Do you think they will be close or only see each other at family functions? I really hope that mine are like best friends and can call upon each other whenever it's needed. I snapped these piccies of them the other day when we were over at our other property. They were playing really nicely together (for once!).



This layout is for the sketch challenge for the Easter Cybercrop at Scrapboutique. I have used a mix of October Afternoon ranges on this one - a bit of 'Schoolhouse' and 'Campfire' with some Jillibean Soup alphas in the title.

The tree sticker was perfect for this layout. I've added the cute little tin pin as well and used foam tape under the word sticker for a little dimension.

I hope you have had a wonderful Easter break. Ours was a quite one spent at home. The kids have been busy drawing, scrapping, playing outside and eating lots of chocolate of course! We even went horse riding the other day - the first time I had been on the horse for a long time. I didn't go very far but man I have a sore bum!! LOL

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Go Get 'Em Tigers!

This is my layout for this months challenge at White With 1. The criteria this month are white + olive green + twine. I was surprised at how much olive green I have in my stash! I even found a tube of olive green paint!
I took this photo of the kids at Taronga Zoo. I think they make pretty cute tigers! LOL I have used lots of layering and texture on my layout. There is paint under the pp's - you just can't see a lot of it coz I covered it up! Ooops! I found some olive green hessian in my scraps and have used Echo Park, October Afternoon and My Mind's Eye stickers.


And I've used some Jillibean Soup and Basic Grey alphas for my title:


Have you checked out my little giveaway in my previous post? I would really love to see you play along. Thanks so much for stopping by! :)

Hello Luscious

I was sent some gorgeous Basic Grey 'Hello Luscious' in my latest DT pack from the Little Scrapbook Shop. There are so many bits & pieces to this range - the colours in the patterned papers are perfect for girl layouts and the embellishments are just gorgeous. You can find them in the shop here. Here is the first of the layouts I have created: I just love this photo of my big girl and I. She gives the best squishy cuddles. I have used the transparencies, die-cuts and chipstickers on this layout - no pp in sight! This is the next layout: Such yummy colours to work with. I've used a bit of paint on this one. And finally a set of cards made using some of the scraps. This range is just so versatile! Thanks so much for stopping by.....

Decked Out!

That's the name of our Easter challenge over at LSBS. What better way to spend the Easter break than eating chocolate and scrapping! Sounds like bliss to me!! Hope you can play along. :)
