My little Aussie boy..

We just recently celebrated Australia day here in Australia and I took this gorgeous photo of Larsen with his little hat turned up. I wanted to scrap this photo straight away but didnt have the right papers until the ever faithful October Afternooon papers showed up. My little banner is made of some toothpick flags I bought for Australia day, I just cut the end of the toothpick off and cut them into triangles.

I love this photo of David and Larsen too, it was taken a couple of weeks ago he just loves playing with his daddy. I have used some distress stickles on the chipboard wings and heart.

Till next time....

Stuck...

My first DT layout has gone up at stuck sketches, Yeah! this was a fun design to work with, I have created Addison's 3 year milestone layout with it. If you head on over you will see all the other new DT member's layouts as well.

Here is the sketch...

And my interpretation...

big boy toys

Larsen is not content to play with his own baby toys any more he wants in on the action with Addison's toys !!!!! I have been playing with my Maya Mists again using a kids stencil, my fav part is my letters in the dump truck!

Till next time....

Summer street fun

I love this photo of all the kids in our street riding their bikes, scooters etc...we have the most wonderful bunch of neighbours and the kids play so well together, sharing their bikes and toys , of course there is the occasional disagreement but that is kids being kids, this photo most definately reminds me of Summer, I used some of my October Afternoon stash again LOVE this stuff!!!

Till next time..........

he is Super ...

I have had these photos for a while and my original concept for this layout is totally different to where it ended up, I found this superman comic at the newsagent and used it on my layout, more Misting YEAH! and just a touch of grunge....

Till next time....

misting.........

Although my term doesnt start till next month I played along with the second sketch for January over at stuck sketches. I finally got around to doing Larsen's 1st birthday layout....he sure loved his birthday cake! Thanks to the lovely Taryn for the maya mist, am so lovin the effects you can get !

I finished this layout a while ago but only got around to photographing it today. I used the digger from 3tailscraft as a template and sprayed it with glimmer mist for a masked effect...so totally out of my comfort zone but I like it.

Till next time...
