A Christmas layout

Oh oh, I found a heap of layouts that I haven't shown on my blog, so I thought it is time to keep updating you with some of the layouts I have been doing. I must admit I did go through a stage of not doing any scrapping, not because of the lack of wanting, but just not being able to get any time to do any. But I have my scrapping mojo on and have certainly got back into it. I am a massive fan of the bunting, they just seem to fill a spot. I also love the bingo cards, I found from a shop, which I generally shop on facebook on Flog it Friday's, Mad about Scrappin these massive Bingo cards, they are just so cute, not sure what I am going to do with them yet, but love them and I am sure they will come in very handy in my next few layouts.

Well I hope you all have a great Monday. Fingers crossed I get all my house work done and can sneak in a layout.......Untill next time.

Scraplounge CyberCrop

Well it is that time again, this weekend the scraplounge had it's awesome cybercrop. I love seeing what people come up with, when they are given the same criteria and sketch. Love how everyone interprets things so very differently.

The first challenge was to have 3 hearts on a layout and the word relationships, so this is what I came up with. I had so much fun doing this layout, as I am getting into the mists so I had a bit of a play with that, not that you can see much of it. I also adore this paper range, I just love it when paper designers have the papers that just seem to go.

This is the second challenge for the Cybercrop, it is to do a layout using song lyrics for a title. My niece had come up and stayed with me for a few days and to thank me she bought me these gorgeous flowers. so my title was 'you don't bring me flowers anymore' but in brackets I wrote but my niece does. I was having a bit of a dig at my husband, though surprisingly after my niece bought this it must have played on my hubby's mind because he did buy me some flowers. So might have to do a few more layouts like this in the future. LOL

This is the sketch for the Scraplounge Cybercrop. I created this sketch, my first attempt to do it on the computer, so I will apologise for it not being perfect. But honestly I don't think I did to bad

This is my layout that I came up with, with the sketch. I kept this layout a bit simple, but loved using a few mini prints, having lots of photos on a layout isn't my strong point, but I love it when I do do one and pull it off. This layout has photos of when we were in Perth down at Hillary's. The boys had a ball playing in the water there, We were there forever, hours and hours. I must admit I enjoyed watching the boys play and having some piece and quiet, plus loads of photo opportunities.

Mad about Scrappin challenge

Well I certainly have my mojo on at the moment, I have already done Mad About Scrappins Challenge for this month. I LOVE this challenge, you have to use a pattern paper as your backing, strips of paper and a one word title. I thought this challenge is definitely one of my favourites. I really loved how this layout turned out, I am really enjoying doing minimilistic layouts, and I love using just a 6x4.

This photo was of Cody when we were in Perth, it was a warm day and he was sitting at a bench screwing up his cute little face. He is just so adorable. I can't believe he is 3. They just grow up way to fast.

It has been to long.....

Wow I can't believe it has been so long since I have written on here. It has been crazy with the kids on school holidays and we all know what it is like leading up to Christmas, a bit of a night mare. Well I have managed to find time to scrap, thanks to some of my awesome friends which help me make an excuse. So I thought I would share some of the layouts I have done.

I really love this layout 'playing is awesome' I love the colours in it, I just kept the layout simple.
I so struggle to fine decent boy paper especially now that my eldest son is 13 years of age. But when I found this paper I thought it couldn't be any better. Loved it. I also love using the gorgeous purple pumpkin embellishments. Just so love that Purple Pumpkin has thought about the 'boy' for embellishments and not just pretty things for girls.
This is one of my favourite layouts of my son who tragically died after only living for 28 hours. So every photo I have of him is just so precious to me, so I adore scrapping his photos, and I am extremely fussy of the papers I use with his photos.
Love this layout, just a bit different. I love these colours being rustic but bright. My younger son Cody loves playing in the sandpit, he loves it more when his bigger brother jumps in with him and plays to.

Oh no not again

Here is a layout that I have just recently done for the scraplounge for there technique challenge layout. I loved how this layout has turned out. I was given in a lucky door price the tag and the butterflies plus the material. So when I got the authentique range of paper I thought it went perfectly. I really enjoyed doing it.

I found the photo to be hilarious. My poor son, he did ask me to take some photos, but then I must go a little to far in the type of photos I wanted so he got sick of that really quickly and decided he had had enough.

ScrapLounge September Sketch

I was given a really awesome sketch to do this month from a site called scraplounge I really loved doing this sketch, plus I was given an embellishment pack to use, so here is one of the layouts I have come up with. I have a few more to add as well.

Purple Pumpkin sketch layout

Here is my Purple Pumpkin sketch I had loads of fun doing this one, I kept it simple but have been really wanting to get this photo scraped for ages, so I had the perfect paper, and the perfect sketch.

The photo is of my son's 5th Birthday party. We had a jumping castle out the front yard, we had a great day.

I am just loving using Purple Pumpkins embellishments, they just seem to finish a layout off.
