Climb on daddy...

Having two boys and one BIG boy who loves to wrestle and roll around on the floor we have lots of climb on daddy time around our house!

I used these photos as part of this weeks Creative Scrappers sketch, although my layout is a little different from the sketch as there was a bit of a mix up with our sketches we were sent. The correct sketch is cool though so I hope you can play along!

Love that littleredrocket orange button too! Stayed tuned to the LRR blog a little birdie told me goodies are not far away YIPEE!!

I haven't scrapped in over a week, just feeling too sad about the floods here in Queensland. I hope to find some inspiration tonight as I have lots of deadlines looming!

Till next time...

the pony ride

I had a new tutorial up on the Hambly blog this week. Showing how to create this layout.

My favourite hambly rubon wings!love the delish Scrapware frame.
My heart goes out to all those in need due to the floods In Brisbane and Queensland. I am finding it difficult to comprehend it all, just too devastating to think about! We are so lucky to be well away from the areas that are flooding in the city but my husband who works in the city won't be at work till the clean up has been completed!

Here is a way we SCRAPPERS can all help here

I am planning on helping with this I hope you can too!

little cowboy...

Last Halloween we dressed larsen up as the littlest cowboy!Do you spy the gorgeous cowboy bottletop from Lilredrocket, the last of my cowboy bottle top collection gone. sniff sniff. I have also used one of my old faithfuls a My little bit of whimsy ladybird pin....Speaking of My little bit of Whimsy , have you seen the new SPACE pins Steph has created...almost as if they were made just for my boys. I have just placed my order, I can't wait for them to arrive now!

I have been putting off scrapping these photos of Addison turning 4 for a couple of months now..... in denial I think that my oldest is off to preschool in a couple of weeks!

Spy the scrapware letters, birdcage and space ships!....I think I am totally in love with shaped papers too, I seem to be using them on most of mylayout!

beach treasures..

A new sketch is up over at Creative Scrappers, created by the talented Aphra Bolyer.

These photos of all my boys have been sitting since last Summer and I finally scrapped them for this layout.I am totally in love with that Scrapware Chippie flourish too! Ironically WE visited the beach yesteday for the first time since last Summer ...hasn't Larsen grown!

thankful...

I have decided to choose a word this year to try to keep me on the straight and narrow, as I was thinking of different words that I could use I kept coming back to THANKFUL...I have so so much to be thankful for in 2011...I hope to do a layout soon to represent my thoughts on this.

Being a new year and new month there is a new challenge up at Show us your Stuff. There is a sketch we had to follow created bythe fabulous Michelle and of course use a hand made item, We were lucky enough to receive some lovely handmade flowers from Pretty Petals who are a sponsor this month.

I decided to create a card instead of a layout, something that I am starting to enjoy doing. I hope you can join in the fun with me.
If you are after a bargain head on over to Handmade by Suzanne who has 30% of most items in stock, papers, embellishments, embossing powders, glitter, stickers , thickers...the list goes on, the only things not on sale are punches and papers that were new in December...what a bargain, I'm off to check it out my self!

I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year and I look forward to sharing and gaining some inspiration from everyone out there in the coming year!

My single...

With the release of the Masters edition for Scrapbooking Memories magazine I was very chuffed to receive two Honourable mentions for my double and my OTP. Ironically my favourite didn't get a mention, this was the one project I loved the most... at the beginning of the year we went to Maloolaba on the Sunshine coast to see Jessica Watson return home after her epic voyage. I wanted to use this layout to inspire Addison to always dream big!
