the storyteller

Addison spends all day everyday, telling little stories as he plays....its so cute to eaves drop on these stories too!

I decided to play along with inspiredblueprints for the first time this month using sketch 51, and I had fun..

.

How cool to find that lacy banner...right up my alley too!

40....

Apparently 40 is the new 30....For those that know me they new how depressed last year I was leading up to my 40th birthday....but it turns out not much has changed its just a number....I created this layout to remember my thoughts about this time on my life . I have used a Mylittlebitofwhimsy birdie pin and played along with a challenge they had going on over there....am lovin my doilies at the moment too. PS If your looking for some fun this Thursday night come and join us at Scrapawhile for our CC, no theme, just scrapping....

little peter rabbit....

Shell at lilredrocket has the most gorgeous Little Peter Rabbit buttons, and I got to play with them over the weekend.

I pulled out some old photos of Addison from when he was born and he was in the crib for a couple of days, I was just so glad and relieved he was out safe and sound.

I have had that vintage book paper for a while now, an old book of Peter Rabbit and I had been itching to use it... it was the perfect opportunity.

This second layout I have also used for this months Scraptheboys, we had to use stamping on a page EEEKKKK!!! letter stamps are the best I could do. Nice and simple this time....

It's hard to see but I have used some sunshine yellow misting and splattering for a subtle effect.
Thankyou again for your lovely comments to my blog they are so greatly appreciated, I cherish each and everyone.

10 years....

David and I have been together for ten years, during that time we have had two wonderful boys, numerous OS holidays, two gorgeous homes and a wonderful marriage, it hasnt been easy as David has worked away from home for most of that time, I created this layout for Tracey's challenge over at Scrapawhile to celebrate our time together

This next layout is my last layout for the DT at stuck sketches, I decided not to reapply this time, I have enjoyed my six months on the team and have met some lovely gals on the DT who I will be keeping in contact with. This layout is based on the fact that when Larsen was born he looked exactly like David did when he was a baby. The sketch....

It's hard to tell but I printed my photos on to canvas paper.

I hope you can play along with these challenges this month, as always there are some fabulous prizes up for grabs.

scrap the boys...

How cool is it that the awesome scrap the boys challenge blog here is back in action. The first challenge called for some facts about one of my boys. I chose to do a milestone layout of Larsen when he was 6 months old...where has that time gone??I have used that cute little boy button that Shell has just released at lilredrocketbuttons.

The second layout is a little bit different for me, I was trying out the grunge style....and I seem to like it... I had fun....David of course in not to happy about having a layout about him on my blog, tee hee.

Both Layouts use the awesome JOY RIDE collection from Cosmo Cricket I got in my DT kit from handmadebysuzanne, some Basic Grey chip letters and Shimmers paint. Thanks to the lovely taryn for that vintage book paper too.

Tee hee I attempted another girly layout yesterday and I must say I am enjoying playing with flowers and ribbon. This is from when I met Heidi in May. I am going to frame it and hang it in my scraproom.
The layout is based on the sketch of the month over at handmadebysuzanne I hope you can come and play there is a $20m store voucher up for grabs.

I found that artist quote on the internet.

2peas featured project...

I have only just recently started posting over at twopeasinabucket and just loaded the layout that I posted below into the gallery, I went back about 10 minutes later to check new layouts in the gallery and found my layout as the featured project of the day....UNBELIEVABLE...I am soooo over the moon

any how, doing the happy dance here...

by default....

Larsen at aged 18 months is soooooooo obsessed with diggers...by default because Addison is too, and anything Addison is in to, Larsen is not far behind. He screams with glee when ever we see one and even tells me before we see them that they are coming up as he knows all the well known spots around NorthLakes. One of my hubby's favourite weekend pastimes is to take the boys to see the diggers, they love to climb all over them!
I have mounted and layered the digger chippie over the inked signpost chippie and used some old old old glittered chipboard stars from my stash, don't you love when you do that.

Short and sweet today.

Till next time...
