The January 15th sketch over at Stuck Sketches is now up and I have joined in again. 

Such an easy sketch to work with. I have scrapped a photo of my good friend Lisa Webb-aka Moonie. Such a gorgeous girl. Love her to bits xx I decided to do a red, black and white colour scheme. 

Thanks for stopping by...

Oliver has been such a great baby that I have been able to scrap a fair bit without feeling too tired so I am one happy Mumma!!!! Today I have managed two layouts, 1 double and 1 single!!! Its my first time joining in over at Stuck Sketches as well this month. I got all inspired to do an 8.5 x 11 layout!! I don't do 8.5 x 11 layouts at all but since the sketch is that orientation I thought I would give it a go. Here is the sketch:

And here is my take on the sketch. I have scrapped one of Oliver's first photos from the hospital. He still looks all scrunched up bless his heart!!! I still love the photo though hehe!!!!

Another challenge blog that I joined in this month is Get Picky I really liked the look of the sketch and I don't do double layouts very often but I enjoy them when I do, so here is the sketch for the month. 

And here is the double layout that I did. I have used lots of different products on this one!! The background paper is REALLY OLD Reminisce paper, used Bella Bvd scarecrow and acorns, Echo Park stickers, OA stickers and some hessian just to name a few.

Hope you like......till next time, thanks for stopping by....

I am really enjoying joining in some of the challenge blogs lately! Over at Show Us Your Stuff they have their second challenge up for the month and it is to use something handmade (which is what the blog/challenge is about), misting, at least 4 patterned papers, stitching (hand, faux or machine)and buttons. This is what I have created, a layout about believing in myself. My handmade thing is the Chip Chop Shop doily and I have used Sass lass, The Girls Paperie, Basic Grey and Sei patterned papers. Also have buttons, misting and I have cheated and did faux stitching hehe!!  I really enjoyed creating this layout as I don't get to do pink very often so it was a nice change to use and create something different.

Thanks for stopping by...take care.....

I really want to try and use up some of my excess Websters Pages paper!!! I really have WAY TOO MUCH so I have done a 'just because' layout of a photo that is 4 years old now. Its of myself, hubby and Luke at 14 months old taken on Christmas Day 2006 at my inlaws.

Thanks for looking....

Firstly, my heart goes out to all those affected by the horrendous floods that have inundated our wonderful country. Hang in there everyone, stay strong and keep smiling.  

This is the first layout I have managed since getting home from Mum and Dad's! Mum took these great photos of Luke and Oliver while we were up there. I just love them. So I joined over at Show Us Your Stuff for their first challenge of January. The sketch is the challenge for the month and of course you have to include something handmade by yourself or someone else. 

So here is my layout using those tops photos of my cute boys. My handmade things are the Chip Chop Shop doily and heart button and I have used a My Little Bit of Whimsy bird pin as well.

Thanks for stopping by, hopefully I will get to do the second challenge they have popped up on the blog too. Till next time......take care

 

Over at Kraft It Up this month the challenge is to use Kraft and to do a Summer themed layout and to also use a Summer word in your title. I used a photo of Luke when on holidays in Coffs Harbour, he was only 12 months old and it was his first time in a pool. He loved every minute of it too!! I tried a little paper curling for this one too and I masked some clouds as well.

Thanks for stopping by....

I admire Nicole Pomeroy's scrapping so much, she is so talented and I really love her style. When I saw a layout of hers on Facebook I just had to ask for her permission to lift it. Make sure you go over and check out her blog, there is some awesome stuff there!! So this is my interpretation of Nic's layout titled

'Max'. Mine is of Oliver of course. He is only 1 and a half weeks old here, doesn't he look so alert and so much older? It's too sad that they grow so quick, he is already a month old :( Last day at my parents today, back home tomorrow, hope I can keep up with the scrapping as much as I have up here hehe!!

Till next time, take care and thank you for any comments.

Here is my layout of Mr. Luke with his Milk Moustache!! I have used some goodies from Leeann Pearce's Etsy Store 'The Chip Chop Shop'. 

Till next time...take care all

Happy New Year to all my blogger girls!!! Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed your New Year celebrations too. Lets hope we all have a fantastic year with lots of scrapping being done!!! Hehe!! At the moment I am enjoying a nice time up at my parents place in Scone with Luke and Oliver, I am even managing some scrapping too which is great!! I have two layouts to share.

This is the layout I have been working on for a while now. I just love this paper by My Minds Eye so what better way to use it for a layout of my gorgeous new little bubba boy. I have also used October Afternoon paper and some other bits and pieces.

Over at The Color Room this week they are up to palette number 39, The Sun Room. I had time to join in again this week  and have come up with the layout below of Luke.

I did manage to kind of stick to the sketch too. 

Thanks again for stopping by....
