Just getting in with a final comp entry before the end of the month... 2 hours to spare phewf!!

This is for Kraft it Up May theme which is 'what Easter means...'

Used up some scraps here... Prima flowers, Green Tara leaves, Kaisercraft birdcage and cloud stamps (cant see very well!), thickers, vintage swap card.

It's all about the Easter Egg Hunt on Easter morning for my Sophia! To see the delight on her face makes it just as fun for us...

Happy scrapping!

Thanks for stopping by.

Afternoon ladies!
Super chilly day here in Geelong. Brrrrrr....!

Love this pic of the babes, Hudson's head is so little against my giant milk filled boobies!! LOL. He's only a week old here. Its not a great photo, but the only one i have of us him being that little! Love love those pink chevrons... gorgeous range of papers i got for a bargain in a Ballarat LSS.

Anyways, cheers for stopping by!

Hello all those out in blog land!

Just posting my layout entry for May's BAP over at Prima.

Used Prima's 'Nature's Garden' range. 

OMG i'm so in love with Prima's latest release of papers! Love the flowers too, although there werent many large ones in this release...

Pics are from my brother's wedding in Feb 2010.

Thanks for stopping by!

I'm back!
Hmm, not sure if anyone visits my little blog, but i'll explain my absence anyway.
So i became addicted to pinterest... and then decided i needed to spend more of my time in looking after myself. Scrapbooking was the ONLY time i had to myself. I've been putting off my fitness for too long. No more hiding behind the 'I'm a new mum', as Hudson turned 1 in April. So i've been exercising regularly, and i've cut down the sugar and refined carb intake, so no more chocolate, biccies, cake and rubbish i was consuming on a daily basis.
I started caring about my appearance again. I did my hair, my nails, a smidge of make up here and there. Bought some nicer clothes. Started socialising at some 'night spots' i used to frequent not so long ago! (Lol, i'm not crazy partying like i used too, just actually turned up to friend's birthday's, and a hens night...)

So, all this took me away from scrapbooking, and honestly i needed the break because now i've started up again i love it!

So here's a layout i did for BITW challenge, the word was 'future'.

A picture of Adrian and i before the babes came along.

Used Basic Grey Euphoria papers, Prima and Kaiser flowers, thickers, diary page, vintage swap card, twine, homemade mist.

I'll be back in the next few days with some layouts i've done just for myself, not for challenges. (i'm easing off on entering challenges).

Thanks for stopping by! xx

I think these 2 layout will be my last challenge entries for the month! I think i'm all scrapped out for now!

This layout is my entry for "Once Upon A Sketch". The topic was a favourite holiday/vacation.

Used Kaiser 'Pina Colada' papers, Dusty Attic chipboard, butterfly & button from my stash, home made spray mist & paint.

The pic is the view from our hotel room when we stayed at Hamilton Island in March 2010. That was our last holiday.... i think we're due for another! Dad is thinking of having his 50th birthday bash in Byron Bay, so we'll have to wait til next Feb.

This layout is my entry for "Stuck! Sketches" sketch number 2 for the month.

Used Kaiser 'Bonjour' collection, Prima & Kaiser flowers, ribbon.

My sister and i had a scrap session yesterday. She bought some of the 'bonjour' collection, so i just had to pinch some.
The pics are from my brother's wedding in Feb 2010. Can't believe i've taken this long to scrap them! It was such a lovely day, Elisha looked stunning. Now they have little baby Olive, time just passes so quickly!

I'll have some more layouts to post in the next few days which i've entered into various challenges this month. Til then, ciao and thanks for stopping by!

Hello everyone!
Trying to keep up with all the challenges due at the end of the month...

Here is a layout for 'Scrap the Girls'. Criteria is Turquoise (yummy colour!), chipboard & 'love'.

Used Autumn Leaves ppaper, cardboard packaging, vintage music sheet, prima flowers, maya road chipboard (which i painted & stamped), lace & twine.

The pic is my sister Madeleine and Sophia on our recent visit to Horsham, where she has just relocated. She's an awesome aunty, Soph loves her and her new Border Collie puppy Max. Every time we call Maddy for a chat, Soph asks if she can talk to Max. So cute, lol.

Next up is for 'Bird is the Word' challenge, using the word 'heart'.

Used Creative Imaginations ppaper, Vintage music sheet & swap card, Prima flowers, Tim Holtz key, Twiddleybitz chipboard.

I'm so happy how this layout turned out! I always find it hard doing boy layouts with making them too flowery.

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekends. It's stinking hot here in Geelong, bring on tonight's storm!

Thanks for stopping by.

Hope everyone's enjoying their Sunday afternoon.

Friday night saw the arrival of my beautiful niece, 'Olive Harlow'.
She's tiny and gorgeous, 7ish pounds of baby girl. Tinier than my big boofa 10 pounder babies!
Elisha my sis in law is doing great, and my brother is smitten. It's so lovely watching him beam with pride.
I'm sure Olive will be subject of scrapping in the near future!
