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!

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!

Till next time...

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!
Till next time...

My boys...

Enjoy your day with family and friends!

Till next time...
