New Toy

Des and his new Mower - finally.  Although not the best expression, he loves his John Deere.

This month at Scrap the Boys http://scraptheboys.blogspot.com.au/p/this-months-challenges.html  the challenge is Recycling - using labels or packaging etc that is boy related.  I was able to use the tag that was attached to the mower when we went to pick it up.  I also used some old cardboard to mat my photo to help tie it all together.

Egg Hunt

This month's challenge on Scrap the Girls http://scrap-the-girls.blogspot.com.au/ is a Sketch Challenge and here is my take on the sketch.  I was going to try an 8x11" layout but my photos just didn't seem to fit right.  So here is Annabelle at the Playgroup easter egg hunt.  I love the colours of the Basic Grey papers.

Love that cheeky grin

Fyn has a bronchial infection at the moment and his not his usual happy self.  That's why I love to have layouts like this stuck to my wall.
Inspiration is taken from the Scrap the Boys Feb sketch challenge http://scraptheboys.blogspot.com.au/.

Dancing Girl

A few weeks ago Annabelle started dancing lessons with Dance Force.  It is really cute to see about 20 little girls, about 3/4 years old dancing and pointing their toes.  I completed this layout of her in her leotard after her first lesson (check out the pose- already).  My inspiration was this months challenge on Scrap the Girls -  http://scrap-the-girls.blogspot.com.au/ .  The guest designer is Agnieszka Bellaidea and her criteria are:  

 LOVE in the TITLE
TURQUOISE as the DOMINANT COLOUR and CHIPBOARD

The heart is made from tissue paper, but I still want to perfect this technique a little more.

My Girl

Pink, Pink, Pink.  I am really not a 'pink' person and I don't normally include alot of pink in my scrapbooking pages, but..
 This month on Scrap the Girls -  http://scrap-the-girls.blogspot.com/  - the challenge is:

PINK AS THE DOMINANT COLOUR

MULTIPLE PICS

POLKA DOTS

So here is Annabelle with her winter beanie on, on a nice warm September day.  That's My Girl.

I love the effect stamping paint with Bubble wrap has - I think I will have to try that again sometime.  I also used a pen lid to stamp the paint dots around the edge.

 

 

Catch Up

Wow,
I can't believe it is November already.  I have been doing supply teaching a couple of days each week this term and everything else has gone by the wayside - including scrapping. I have had a couple of hours over the last couple of weekends and I thought I would share my creations with you. 

First up is a layout created using a sketch from Challenge Haven, using Crate Paper's Toy Box Collection.  Fyn at 4 months sleeping on the 'lounge'.  It must be a guy thing, being able to sleep sitting up in the lounge, I know my husband and my dad are great at it.

My second layout is of Annabelle and her Scooter.  'When I get big I will Ride my Scooter to School' - she says this every time she gets on it.  Love the pose.  I used Echo Park's Summer Days Collection.

That's all for now, thanks for stopping by.

Fyn's Name Plate

Hello Again,
It has been quite a while since my last post, but my computer was blocking me from signing in to Google, apparently it was unsafe??  Everything seems to have fixed itself now though. 

I thought I would share with you the name thing I created for my little boy's room.  I have used the Kaisercraft Party Animal Papers and some chipboard accents from Crate Paper Toy Box Range plus some Scrapware Chipboard.

I've covered the whole thing with Mod Podge so hopefully it will stay together.
Anyway got to go - Fyn has a cold at the moment and seems to sleep best when in my arms. Yay.
