boyish vintage...

So many things in the scrappy world are geared towards girly vintage...with my two boys I sometimes find it hard to find pattern papers and embellies to suit...and when I received this gorgeous photo of my two boys from our photo shoot in January by labelle photographics, I knew I wanted a vintage feel.I have used a gorgeous new Scrapware chippie doily frame, and that button is from here


ooo and you know my old faithful music pattern banner from here.
Heather, Pearl, Lydia, Emily and Leanne, if you could email me here kimtoms2000@yahoo.com.au with your addies I will get my handmade goodies out to you , thanks for playing along.

his triumph..

We bought Addison his bike for his 4th birthday but for months he was not really interested..until one day when he just "got it"and since then he just LOVES riding his bike.
I have used this old old old KI memories sheer as my back ground...so love it! Thanks to Geli for the button and handmade flower they were perfect for my layout! Oh yeah love my Scrapware wings as well!

life lessons

After the floods here in Brisbane I wanted to share some life lessons with my oldest son Addison, we had many discussions on the impact the floods had on people and especially children, we talked about them losing their toys and possesions, when we made donations I wanted him to be there so he knew exactly what we were doing.I wanted him to learn empathy for others.... A bit drab and dreary to my usual style but I wanted to convey the impact ofthe floods...gorgeous new chippie gates from Scrapware..I roughed it up, distressed and inked the page to within an inch of it's life!
I took a photo of the paper up here in Brisbane and used that on my layout

Till next time...

At two...

I have had this layout in my head since December when Larsen turned 2.
Just a quick layout to remember his milestones!
As you can see I have been playing and playing with my new cloud punches, you will be seeing them alot in the future... I think I have used them on the last 6 layouts that I have created!!!
Sorry about the colours I have photographed and edited this layout 3 times and for some reason it is just not co operating with me!
Till next time...
