Brotherly love

Hubby  has been working  night shift  and there is  something about the quiet house. late at night and I feel like  scrapping and last  night was quite a productive night.  First up I did this  one - my take on the sketch at Scrapbook savvy.  I had to shrink the sketch to use these pics - there was a lot of ackground I didnt need or want.  I  gotta say  I love these  colours together -  a bit yummy!!

123 challenge

The  very gorgeous Giovanna Scott has set the challenge over at 123  this  month and it caught my eye on facebook so I set down this morning and  actually DID IT!!!  The challenge was the word MAKE,  make  something and the colour Marigold.....here is my take

this is a pic of me and my little sister about 40 years ago!!

And the years go by

I have  some  very old paper but I still really like them so I am determined to try and work my way through them before I  go buying more and more.....I have done a massive cleanout this year so that helps......I loved the Bo Bunny Mamarazzi  when it came out and i have loads of it....here is one of the layouts I did at Donnas  to use it  up...

The first little pic is Shane and I as  best man and bridesmaid at our best mates  wedding -  20  years  ago next year - Holy  shit!!
The middle  one is  us  one Christmas BC ( before children ) and the final one is us at Shanes graduation last year .  We are coming up to  22 years together and 15 years married - wowser- time  flies when you are having fun!!!

Live out Loud

Its very hard to get good pics  of my  almost 14 year old boy - Gee - who  would have thought!!!  SO  these days I have to scrap what I can  get!  This is Joshua at Dalby McDonalds  back in AUgust - exhausted I think??

Gotta love a no paper  layout hey!!!

Year 7 Graduating class

Tonight my Number 2 son  has his Graduation  night at his school-  can I really have  2 high school children next year?????   HOLY TOLEDO!!  So its  probably timely for me to have scrapped one of Joshuas photos  from his Grad  last year!!!  This is him and his mates .....none of whom went to the same high school as him - all spread to the winds!!!

This was a challenge for the scrapbook savvy  cybercrop!!!  A colour challenge =- loved it Thanks Sara!!!

Scrapbook Kits - new December release....

So its the beginning of the month again which means the new kits are up for sale at Scrapbook kits

here are  the layouts I did with my  DT pack.....

and

and there is another layout  but I dont have it photographed here......check all the kits out HERE

Some Daniel love.....

This  kid  can drive you crazy but he is the most  lovable, affectionate, comical  character - just love him to bits.  He is so  easy to scrap too- he is very photogenic and doesnt  make a  carry on for photos  either!!  I think most of my published work - would  be Daniel!!

This  kind of started out as a scraplift of a fabulous layout  from the  amazing Lauren Bell but as usual about the only thing the same is the background paper and some red.....Oh well!!  They boys  duct taped Daniel to a palm across the road and then started pelting him  with  water pistols I think??
Classic photo opportunity!!

I then did this layout using papers from a kit I got at Wicked Princesses - excellent  boy  papers and embellies - That Krissy is so clever!!!!

The Whitehouse retreat

So here are a couple more layouts  from the Whitehouse retreat -  the first is actually   from back  in August  because I forgot to bring it home....HAHAHA

Oops - just  noticed a piece of foil ( hmmm maybe chocolate?) under  the orange shirt on the clothesline.....

This second layout is using one of my own kits - I love this photo of my niece and Teleah together - so  cute!!!

It was SO  nice to spend some time with  14  girls who are  all fabulous - funny ,clever , supportive and amazingly  talented.  Donna  had us all place our layouts  up on her long wall- with blutac - and the wall looked unreal!!!!    When I get some pics of it - I'll post them here.  I had to take  all four of my kids and they had a ball-  Thanks  to all the girls  who let me bring them!!!

Love a grungy boy paper

I have three sons - all  teens  or tweens so scrapping starts to  be a  bigger challenge - no more cutesy papers, no more characters and dress ups - now its all about the attitude - HAHAH .

Thats why I loved this paper from Scrapfriends - they  have an amazing variety and stuff you have never seen  anywhere else.....SO  cool!!!!   Here is a fabbo  boy  page I did on the weekend at Donnas.....

Cool paper  huh - add a  photo and some  bits and pieces and you are done -  gotta love that!!!
