I've got a few things on the go at the moment and this year is the year to finish what I start.I have had a few little mini's that I've done the covers but haven't progressed any further. This one though wasn't sitting for long though, along with my Werribee Zoo & Mansion mini's.This little Maya Road House album I transformed for our little Holiday House we are building. So the album can't be

Who is participating in the taking a photo a day in 2012???I did it last year AND completed it. Just a few near the end to add in.I use Shuttercal.com to upload all my photos into and it was so easy. Even using the Iphone app made it so much easier to participate in.But, this year, I wanted to have a hard copy so the kids could look through it.So I made up these little 7gypsies book covers which

I loooooove Blind Scraps but I hadn't played along for a very long time over at Scrap Therapy.The gorgeous Mandy did a Blind Scrap last week and a friend reminded me so we played along. Although the girls were probably waiting for me to finish the step so they could move onto the next one, I must be out of practice, it was so much fun. Thanks Mandy!! This is what I ended up with..................

I've been on the Design Team for Sassy Lil' Sketches for 2 terms and have loved every minute of it. The sketches are fantastic and the girls are gorgeous.But unfortunately Cherie and Kate have decided to close down the sketch site at the end of October, due to their lives just being so busy. Which is totally understandable as my life gets out of control at times.So what they are doing is putting

I haven't played along with Scrap The Boys for a very very long time as I was struggling with inspiration and enthusiasm for doing boy layouts. I find my daughter is much easier to scrap and have stuck with that.But I decided to make an effort in scrapping my son more and played along with Scrap The Boys with this page....................And my entry for White with 1 for May with this page.......

I have time to play again over at Black With 2 and this time it's yellow and fabric for the criteria.I went with an artsy look for this page and wanted to do something different to my norm with having the title away from the main part of the layout.And to be honest, it's annoying me, but I like it. I am so stuck in my ways of having the title amongst or near the main focus of the page, but that

This page is so very different for me.I hardly ever use bright colours, but I had fun with these colours with the black and white photo of Montana and Lachie.This is for Scraptivations and it is inspired from an inspiration pic they have on their site. I was inspired by the colours and the straight lines in the photo along with the word YOU in the rug and the shagginess of the rug {hence the

Her Angry face and her Happy face.She has plenty more but these are the only ones I can get on camera. She won't let me take a photo of her normally but I snuck these ones.I just loooooove

I'm not a fan of the colour so maybe that could be it.BUT I did have a go for the Black With 2 challenge this month.I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone with the whole BLACK thing. {I struggle with that too.}So this is what I came up with...............................

It's been so long that I can't remember the last time I entered Lets Get Shabby.Their challenge was to use Beatrix Potter for inspiration. Well, I was inspired by her drawings of cute little bunnies so I just had to scrap this pic of Montana with her much loved bunny. This photo was taken about a year and a half ago, but she still has the bunny and it's not quite as pink as it is in this pic.I

I think something may be wrong with the lens of my camera.The full shot of this layout looks terrible and blurry, but the close up looks nice and sharp!!!Oh dear, off to the camera doctor.This was a challenge to use Glimmer mist, red, lace or velvet and the word Happy in the title............This was for another challenge to do a lovey dovey page but not allowed to use red or pink or any of those

I got the idea for this first one from Mandy.I can't remember when and which post, but her work is awesome, so go and have a look at her blog.This one is of Montana when I ask her to look at me, but she doesn't really want to {because she's probably in trouble. hehe} so she looks at me over the top of her glasses.This one was for a challenge to use at least 4 Basic Grey products. It was so hard

And here is my entry for White With 1 this month....................The criteria is Navy Blue or Royal Blue with white. This layout came about when my son came out and asked 'why are there so many pages of Montana and not many of me?'. I felt guilty, so did this one and got his approval. ;o)

Scrap Therapy's Cybercrop went for a whole week and the entries were due Monday gone. I only had a chance to have a play with the Sketch challenge, which I flipped sideways, and it had to either be inspired by art, favourite artist, or your child's artwork. A very wide scope.I chose to scrap this photo of Mandy and I when we met again at the Bendigo Retreat in August. She is my all time fave

My very own Mandy layout!!!!And isn't it just gorgeous!! I met up with Mandy at Bendigo for a retreat-ish scrap weekend and asked if she could do a layout for me in her style {because I love it!! Who doesn't!!}Mandy's title for this photo of my daughter is just perfect as that is how I see her.I loooooove it!Thanks Mandy!

Firstly, at the start of the Cybercrop at Scrap Therapy last night, some changes were revealed.So now, you should have plenty of time to join in on the Cybercrops and get some challenges done.I've been scrapping through the week, amongst work and the usual runnings of a family.This first one was a just because. I really wanted to get done the photo of when Montana had her ears pierced............

Yes, I haven't been scrapping this week unfortunately and I haven't missed it.I guess the beautiful sunshine we have been getting has distracted me and kept me outside. Montana has enjoyed being outside again also and playing with all her toys that have been off limits during winter.Here she is, so proud of herself for sitting on the swing and not falling off when I gently swing it.I love this

I subbed to Scrapbooking Memories for the first time a few months back and they accepted 3!!!The first one is in this latest issue, number 9 on page 41.And it got a whole page as it was on the gallery opening page!! How exciting!!!My other 2 are going to be in issue 11 with something else I've done and I feel quite chuffed about it.I've been grinning from ear to ear since I received my copy last

I know, I know!I've been missing a bit this past month. With the Retreat, both the kids birthdays and just life being way too busy for me in August!! My goodness!But I'm back and I've been scrapping for myself and for Scrap Therapy.This past month the theme has been all about Handmade. Everything handmade.So I show you how to make several flowers in my challenges.This layout shows the flower I've

What a weekend!!!It was great to catch up with old and new friends and have a bit of fun while we were at it.I started getting sinus on the drive up to Bendigo, so I wasn't much fun at all over the weekend. I only got 2 layouts done!!! I just sat there chatting and watching and peeking at what everyone was doing and if anyone knows me, they will know that I just love to watch people. My scrapping

25 years was not long enough to know you. It only feels like yesterday that we found you and now you are gone.Thanks for everything over those years and all the love you tried to squeeze into that short amount of time.The only Pop I've ever known and the best darn one at that. Glad you are finally out of pain and that you are again with Phyllis.Did you tell Tana you were going?? Because she told

I made this album and decorated the cover today for our honeymoon photos. Mind you, we are coming up to 3 years of marriage in October and I haven't done an album yet!!So I had an idea and went full blast into doing the cover today.The pages will take a little while and I am yet to have the photos printed, but I will show a few pages every now and then.I've used Prima swirls with clay roses,

After blog hopping one day, I decided to do a mini album about what our family does in a month. I liked the idea of the 52weeks and the 356 photos but honestly, I tried once before and failed after a few weeks.So I decided to try again but with a project that would be finished a lot quicker using my unbelievable drawer of scraps that are just too pretty to throw away. I don't know if I get bored

It's winter here and my fave shoes at the moment are my ugg boots.When I'm home, that's all that I wear until I take them off to go to bed. Sometimes I will wear them down to the shops (*gasp*) if I just need to pop in.So it seemed only appropriate for These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things that I scrap my Ugg's as they are my faves at the moment in this cold cold weather..........................

Lee-anne at Scrap Therapy has more ordered so keep an eye out. This one is for the May Kraft It Up Challenge blog. It's all about making your own background patterned paper.

Just 2 photos to add and some more thickers for the 'months' titles.But otherwise it is!!My girlfriend Karen was over on the weekend and she was working on her daughters album which got me motivated to finish Montana's. I also got stuck into doing my son's and now all I need to do is add the photos and type up the little write ups for each page.This is the cover which I am thinking

It uses colour palettes for their challenges and their first palette has an optional sketch with the colours pulled from a photo of a girls bedroom for inspiration. Just gorgeous.So here is my interpretation.................................And this one is for Kraft It Up using a monochromatic theme and
