he is a charmer....

This month over at Scrapawhile we were set the task of scraplifting a layout from the gallery as our monthly challenge. Here is the layout that I came up with.

Larsen with his sweet curls and bright vibrant personality is definitely a charmer.

yummy yummy hambly rubons

the strawberry mark...

When Larsen was 6 weeks old we noticed a little strawberry mark on the inside of his top lip. I love that it is his little quirk. I have used this layout for this months Scraptheboys challenge to use fabric on a layout. I have used a handmade organza flower. I am in love with the my minds eye pattern paper, I can't wait to use the other papers I have in the range as well.

YOU still have a little bit more time to enter Lil red rocket's sketch competition, to win a $25 voucher to spend at LRR see all the details here.

WHY????

I know I have scrapped this photo before but I was never happy with the layout everytime I looked in my album. I decided to use it again for this weeks Creative Scrappers sketch. I have used some more yummy yummy October Afternoon paper, and some old old old Making Memories metal words.

A HUGE SURPRISE and a layout...

Thankyou to the lovely Gail for pointing me in the direction of this..... Top 3 in all areas and featured layout of the day over at 2peas ..... and right next to the fabulous Laura Vegas who was my first scrapping idol , I am on top of the world today.

Back to reality with this layout today, I set the challenge at Scrapawhile again this month, and one of my criteria was to use a handmade embellie, I made my own denim kite. I would love you to join in the fun over there this month.

I finally tracked down that delish Martha Stewart butterfly punch, also Thankyou to the lovely Gilly and Tracey for the bottle tops and cogs....

boys...

Last month I was asked to be guest designer for a US kit club that I joined last year called 3 Scrappy boys .....I am guessing you can see why I joined this forum, although their focus is not just boys LOL. There are a lovely bunch of ladies on the forum and I have met a couple of close online blogging friends through this group. The kit was amazing I managed 4 layouts and two cards and I had stacks and stacks left over( I will share the other projects another time) today I have two to share.

This is my friend Lynda's little one Allison, isnt she a cutie

...if any one has the newest addition of Scrapbooking Memories you will see some cards I was commisioned to do a few months ago, I keep taking a peek at the page because the way they have presented them is just gorgeous....before I go just to let you know Handmade by Suzanne has a new faster better home, both for the shop and forum, don't forget about the October sketch you could win a $20 gift voucher shop, see here for details, I hope you will pop over and check it out!

jillibean soup....

This month I got to play with some gorgeous Jillibean Soup pasta figioli pattern papers, accessories and corrugated shapes from handmade by Suzanne . I think Jillibean Soup is my second fav paper company behind OA....but it's a close race...
This first one uses an old old photo of Addison which I found in the depths of my computer while I was looking for something else.A gorgeous little red rocket spotty button and a handmade by me satin flower and kite.This second layout Thomas is a friend's son , it is based on the October sketch over at Handmade by Suzanne designed by the so so so talented Shell, there is a $20 gift voucher up for grabs so why don't you head on over and give it a try. Another yummy Little red rocket traffic sign button here as well....and don't forget about Little Red Rockets birthday sketch competiton, remember you don't need to use LRR products just complete the layout using the sketch and link it up here, you only have until the end of October to get your entries in for a chance to win a $25 gift voucher of LRR products.

HOWDY partners....

Larsen has this cutest little shuffle he does ...(hey wouldn't it be great if we could scrapbook live videos)....and I wanted to capture this little memory. I have used some gorgeous Little red rocket buttons and bottle tops...I thought the cowboy bottle top colours were just perfect for my layout.

That gorgeous newspaper print is from the very generous Leanne...thanks Leanne and thanks for the loan of your butterfly punch too isn't it delicious
