Some exciting news..

I have been bursting to tell everyone for over a week now, I have made the Creative Team at stucksketches Yeah! I am so excited and thrilled to be apart of this wonderful team, Sara creates amazing sketches and there are always awesome prizes up for grabs. This is my layout I created to apply for the Creative Team.

I hope to see you all come and play soon.

For personal reasons I have decided to stand down from the RWLaser cuts DT.

Woo Hoo tomorrow im off to scrap all day with my very good friend taryn ...I hope we get some scrapping done and not just chatting hehehe!

Till next time..

finally a birthday layout..

Addison had his birthday way back in October and I am finally getting around to his photos. I love how colourful this turned out. I have discovered glimmer mist....love it, I have used it on a couple of layouts, some I cant share yet ,but thanks to my friend taryn I have finished this one off with a little bit of red mist. I am so in love with these October Afternoon papers... I think I have two of each sheet.

I would like to wish every one a very Merry Christmas I hope you all have a great day!

side by side

I love that my two boys can play side by side and up until now get along so well, Im sure that will change soon enough. I created this layout last night using some yummy October Afternoon papers and a fiskars border punch that I have borrowed but I have on order , this is becoming my favourite punch to use.




Till next time...

he Believes....

Last year one of my favourite scrappers stephaniehowell did a layout about her daughter believing in Santa, I loved the layout and the concept and this year I got the opportunity to do a layout about this as Addison believes this year, last year he was just too young, but this year he is so excited about Santa coming....

I have used lots of different snowflake punches and kindi glitz for a bit of sparkle..

Till next time

'just so you

I have had this layout on the boil for a week or so now, was looking for just the right embellishment and I found it the other day with this wooden dinosaur from Craft Inspirations the little scrapbook shop I am now teaching at, I covered it in glitter then added the frill at the back by concertina folding some paper and glueing it on the back.

This second layout is one of the classes I will be teaching in January, a Christmas class, we decided to keep our Christmas class till after the event so everyone would have their photos to use, we will be using basic greys fa lala line of pattern papers, and lots of punches! if you are in the Petrie area pop into Craft inspirations and check out the details for my class, the other layout didnt photograph well so ill get that up asap.

Till next time....

look up

As soon as I saw this photo of Larsen that my friend took of him and I, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it, Although you can only just see my arm in it I love that Larsen is looking up to me with such love...my wish is that I always have his love and respect...I used the October Afternoon duckie paper to simulate baby following mummy...I also played around with this months sketch at stucksketches.....



EDITED Sorry everyone I got my wires crossed, this latest challenge is still due Dec 20, so you dont have long to get your entry in to Katy for an awesome Prize. There will be a few changes to the Dotty Divas next year so be sure to keep checking back.
Here is the ad inspiration.



Till next time...

something a little different...

For those who know my scrapping style I don't do grunge very often, but I thought this sweet photo of Addison at our street Halloween party needed it! Thanks to my HS distressing tool!

And this second layout documents Addison's growing confidence to get in the pool independently.I have used Cosmo cricket in both layouts, Gotta love Cosmo!

Till next time...

Just too busy....

Addison is the type of 3 year old who regardless of the fact there is party food, games or friends to play with if there are cars, diggers or trucks around then forget all the rest he is just TOO busy playing!!!!!!

Till next time

Hi

Long time no layout post. I have been busy creating , but some layouts I cant share here yet. This first layout is Larsen on halloween, how CUTE does he look dressed up as Robin , he didnt mind the out fit at all.

This second layout is about Addison turning 3 , and what type of boy he will become this year. I have used some YUMMY Prima stitched paper, expensive but worth it, this layout is completely different from what I invisioned and from where I started but Im very happy with how it turned out, the photo was taken on birthday at his party coming out of the jumping castle.

Removed for publication

I hope to be back soon with some more to share.

welcome back

Hi everyone Im back again with some new layouts to share.

The first one I was inspired by my friend Taryn with her mesh work and grungy layout thanks for the inspiration you do it so well. This layout is about Addison's obsession with all things construction.

This second layout is about me having to give up breastfeeding Larsen for medical reasons and mine and his reluctance to do so. There is hidden journalling on the tag. I have glittered the scrolly chipboard and played with my favourite Martha Stewart butterfly punches again, and some new yummy Prima flowers.

Thanks for looking.

Till next time

Together

I have just loaded this new layout over on the RW Laser cuts blog.

I sprayed the chipboard with lime green glimmer mist then added some flower buttons , thanks Taryn , I love this photo its Addison playing with his little friend Ellie in our sandbox........ minutes after dumping a bucket of sand all over her hence why she has no clothes on hehehe !

Enjoy your Sunday

Kim

NEW SHARES

Hi everyone, I made these two layouts last week, but with the chaos of organising Addison's birthday party I am only getting around to posting them now.

The first one I eat spiders tells the story of Larsen eating a dead spider that was on the floor between the fridge and wall, luckily I caught him and managed to fish most of it out.

The second layout is about Addison who during the US election last year when ever he saw B Obama on the TV he would call out yes we can!!!

Enjoy Till next time

OMG

A couple of weeks ago I applied for a DT for a new company based in Canada called KIKI ART, well I made it on to the team!!! YIPEE

http://www.kiki-art.com/blog_en/
Apparently there were over 78 applicants from all over the world , and little ol me made it, now I cant wait to find out whats in store for the DT !!!

Six degrees of separation

A while ago a few scrapping friends decided on a six degrees of separaton challenge where by I would supply the layout and send it to the next person they would use it for inspiration and send theirs onto the next person and so on and so on. Well it is finally over and we would love to share our layouts I will post mine and then add everyones blog address in order. Enjoy !

Spring

Here is an older photo of Addison last Spring. I went through a stage where I loved using 8 x 12 photos. Ah the sweetness of Spring. Love the colour combination here.

Have a fabulous Sunday

Happy Baby

Another one just for me. Larsen is such a happy and content baby love him to death. Im loving my butterfly punches and cuttlebug at the moment, Oh and if you havent noticed big fat bows!

This one I created for the RW laser cuts blog last week, larsen is so flexible he does the splits to go from sitting to laying on the floor. I inked the laser cut in blue then sprayed it with glimmer mist.

Some older ones Im not sure ive shared here before

Till next time

Havent created a layout for a while just for me so here is one, Larsen took ages to get a tooth and when he did two popped out together instead of one !!!

Have a glorious Saturday

Kim

thats Narsen

When Larsen was younger Addison would call him Narsen in stead of Larsen, he could not pronounce the letter L.

Old photos from our wedding that I have re done, both layouts were created for this months CC at RSS.
Till next time
