Back to blogging!!

I am sure my new years resolution will be to update my blog more often!!

Just sharing some older layouts.

Cottesloe was the first time I used gauze on a page.

Happy is a boy with a tree to climb, meant I could finally use that chipboard tree that has been sitting in my stash for a while!!

Portrait of Mum! aka me!! was done in four yr old kindy by Caleb. I love this LO.

You're Amazing, the basic lo with the big circle and banners were scrap lifted from some one some where!

Back on Board!!

Sorry, I have neglected my blog for the past few months, it seemed like every time I thought about photographing my new layouts the sun was hiding!! And the sun has been hiding most of this past week. So I have gone back thru my older layouts that i already have photos of and will start sharing them over the next few days.

 Once upon a time, still makes me laugh when i read it. 

 Baby Mason. I was trying my hand at misting for the first time with this one. He is now 2 and still a very cute little nephew.

 Sand Play. Was originally scrapped for a sketch challenge.

Dangerous Work. This one has fond memories attached, when i was doing the lo at a retreat we had lots of laughs coming up with a title.

Retreat Layouts

It was awesome to have some time away to just scrapbook, a small group of lovely ladies and I got away and had loads of laughs and mamaged to get pages done.

Here are a few!

Beach Buddies.

I wanted this one to be bright and full of colour and to look fun.

It's a boys world to explore.

I think that this one is my favourite out of all the layouts I did at the retreat.

I love the pic of Caleb exploring the beach, he would have done that all day every day if we had let him.

Thanks for looking.

I had not done a double lo for a while and decided to try my hand at some creative journalling!

Thanks for looking.

Catch of the day

So this is it. I am really pleased with how it turned out.

Hi there, this is what I have been up to recently.

Firstly "Lego tower by Master Builder Caleb"

This one took a great deal of work, I used a hole punch to get the knobs on the lego blocks.

And this is the first time I have used Washi Tape.  Love, Love washi tape!!

"Tiarna & Kayla"

Having fun under our neighbours flowering tree, My friend took the photos, we were trying to get a few nice ones!! I did an earlier Layout of Tiarna with the same colour papers and same tree!!

"Reeve at 9 weeks"

This is our very cute nephew, who recently turned one.

"Pure Joy"

I have always loved the look of white on white layouts, so I decided to have a go!

I am really pleased with the way it turned out.

Thats all folks!!

Thanks for looking.

I just love having the chance to sit down and scrapbook. So here is what I have been up to.

I did this one a while ago but spent time debating with myself wether or not to splatter the page.

And any of you that know my friend Vanessa and myself, "special friends" is a joke we started at a scrap retreat last year!

This one is of my Husband and friends (think they are showing the size of the one that got away!!), I was trying out the tissue paper look after seeing it in a mag. I am pleased with the way it turned out. 

I finally got to use my Fishing chipboard!!

Thanks for looking.

Here is what I have been up to since my last post. I have gone to a friday night crop and a all day one as well.

First up my handsome husband fishing.

I love this one of my daughter Tiarna, I had fun playing with my round the page MS punch set.

"The Naked Fisherman" I love the Awesome range from Simple Stories and used a transparency to cover his bits.

A double page lo of Caleb, It took me ages to come up with a title, thanks Christine for the help.

I havent posted an entry on my blog for a while, Life has been busy...School holidays, Camping adventures and Birthdays. Now both are settled back at school I will have more scrap time...WooHoo!!.

This week I finished a Canvas I started for my beautiful Sister in Law a couple of months ago.

And I also managed to do a layout of our Nephew Mason

Thanks for looking. oxox

As my blog is new, I thought I might add some of the layouts I did last year and earlier this year.

Thanks for looking. ox

I spent the entire day scrapping on Saturday, with a great bunch of Ladies. This first one are of Tiarna's school photo.  It always hard to know what to do with certificates ect. I want for my kids to have them to look back on, but always get a bit stumped as how to scrap them. Here they are.....

Thanks for looking. ox

Finished a lay out I started on thursday.

I used Kaiser paper , class of 87'.

Caleb looks sooo cute in this pic, I love it.

Finished   "Afternoon Tea"

I love the Kaiser papers in this Bonjour range, so pretty!

This was a special girly afternoon at Dawson,s Cafe.

Work in progress, this is what I have been up to, doing a layout of Tiarna having a girly afternoon tea..

AND

Making my beautiful Sister in law a canvas for her wall.

This is what I started with and painted it white.

Then got some matte medium gel and used it over a mask, then spray a few coats of different coloured glimmer mists.

Thats it so far, now I need to add the verse on and make it pretty.
