a scraplift and some late night scrapping....

Flicking through last months Scrapbooking Memories I was inspired by a layout by Jasmine Shea ( page 133) and I had some fabulous Jo sonja paints on my desk so was tempted to give her layouts a scraplift....here is my result.....SO love that colour combination....Thanks Jasmine!!

Another Andrea Thompson photo too- love this one !!!!

Oh and LATE at night I was just playing around with  this colour combo and I really  really like it and AGAIN - another of Andreas photos - its also my Facebook header!!!

Titled "You are my life " - what did I do with myself before these people came along?

I know I had more money and more time!!  BUT I laugh more and love more and they are sending me grey but I wouldnt change a day!!!!!  They seriously rock my world!!!

The background papwers are Graphic 45 - cool huh!!  Love it with the red and yellow!!!!

Some boy stuff......

I love scrapping the boys - they are cool ages  now - a bit  challenging  to scrap sometimes....the hard  bit is to even get a photo of the 14 year old!!!!  Here are some of the recent boy layouts.....

Sharreena gave me these pics from the retreat we went to at Donnas.....so of course I had to scrap them.  The kids are mine, Donnas and Sarahs and they had a ball with a hose, a trampoline and some shampoo!!  Lets just say they were very clean!!!!

The next one is a layout I love - just my three boys clowning around in their new hats - check out the look on Daniels face......

They were all just scraps of bits and pieces I had on the desk and I kinda like the way it turned out and I love the trimmed down photo in black and white......and then this one - brighter than usual for me........

Ive had lots of fun getting my stamps out and using them more on my backgrounds ...Krissy influence I think  - her  boy layouts  always look fabulous!!!

Thanks for looking -  still more to come !!!!

Some blogging to be done!!!

Haha - The good Dr  is on night shift so late at night when the kids are in bed and the house is quiet - except for the feral rodent I cant catch - I  get to do some scrappin!!!!

Here are some of my latest offeriings - I wont share them all at once or Ill have nothing else to blog for another month!!  HAHAH

Pretty sure I have scrapped this photo before - but it will just go into one of the kids albums !!  They will need a truck to take their own albums when and if they ever leave home!!! The boys  better find girls that like scrapbooking - thats all I can say!!  Seriously love this  colour combo - how pretty  is it .  The photo is by the AMAZINGLY  talented Andrea Thompson - she is just the most fabulous photographer - check out her work HERE !!  Love scrapping her photos........

Here is another favourite of mine - I bought these papers from the  gorgeous Krissy Christie  over at wickedprincesses.  I cannot even begin to tell you how talented   that girl is - her paintings, her canvasses, her sewing -!!!!!  YUMMY !!  Once I have some spare $$  Im gunna  get me one of her bags!!  I bought Teleah one of  her Tutu bags last year and it is divine!!!  ANYWAY _ here are the  scrummy papers and what I did with them

Very me - hey!!

Back later with some more show and tell!!!!

SO SO BAD!!!!!

Oh my goodness I cant believe I havent  blogged in such a long time - almost a month - shocking!!
Sorry - life is crazy busy with the kids and friends and being away  ....blah blah blah....or else Im just a slack tart who needs to get her A into G!!!!
BUT SHane is currently starting a block of night shift which is always good for my late night mojo...Last night I even got to do a challenge !!  I did Scrap the Girls - hardly ever get to do challenges anymore...so I enjoyed this - cleared out papers from my  scraps and voila....an oldie but a goodie of my sister and I!!!!

I also recently did this one for my gorgeous Friend Deb Clark -

She sent me the most gorgeous Thankyou card - its on my scrap desk and I just love it!!!

This ones a winner

This is one of my favourite  blog challenges....nothing hard, nothing fancy......just  pick your favourite  layout and send it in !!  How good is that - Tiff Sawyer  runs the  blog and she has a  fabulous   bunch of talented scrappers  to give  inspiration....and then she has me - hahahahaha  !!!!

This  is the layout I sent her for April  - Teleah and her  gorgeous buddy Kayla - they were at a party together and Teleah had her face painted for the first time EVER!!!  I was so excited........I just had to scrap it - dont they look gorgeous together!!

head over  here  to enter

and heres mine......

Something special for a friend!!

The beautiful Deb Clark entered a competition over at Twiddleybitz and her  prize was a layout to be scrapped  by me......Ive been  very  slack and lazy and  just  got it finished to day  - I hope shes  going to like it !!  Shes such a  beautiful woman and I   think  this  suits her .......Im also going to send her a little bonus  for her patience!!

Please excuse the wonky photo but  it was getting too dark to retake it!!!

So pop into the  ning site for Twiddleybitz and take a look - there are some fabulous challenges and prizes on offer!!!

and a little more from me.....

Im cleaning up my scrap desk and finding some treasures along the way - I SO  need to do this - its  like a hermit  has taken over this corner and turned it into some kind of hoarders den!!!  I found the kits layouts  I did for Jules this month - such a pretty kit.......and this one....

Jules has so many  great kits  to choose from -   go and check them out HERE!!!
