FIRST TIME

This is my first time in joining in on a challenge over at Scrap the girls, although i have been stalking for quite a while now, i thought i might join in on this one . You had to scrap a page using the theme BABIES.Remembering that its only a site for girls.

Yes this looks a bit boyish, BUT its a photo of Hayley when she was 1 week old, i just love her wrinkles in this photo, which my good friend Celeste took. Head on over and have a look and join in.

We all get stuck from time to time, speaking of STUCK there is this site that i have been stalking for quite a while now and have just decided to join in, its
http://stucksketches.blogspot.com/ This is their sketch.                              

And here is my take on it, so why not come over and join in.

So there is the first 1, now only 4 more to go, i suppose the washing can wait. 

BIRD IS THE WORD

 Well i almost missed it , the word over at the bird is LOVE and it closes real soon so here is my entry

PURPLE PUMPKIN

And here is my take on it.

MAMA'S LITTLE NIGHT OWL

A little bit different for me as this is a picture of Hayley, but to me it looks more of a boy layout because of the colours i have chosen, but i still like it. What do you think?

BIRD IS THE WORD

BIRD IS THE WORD is a fantastic blog, it so easy to join in.They pick a word, and all you have to do is use it in your title or in your journalling, so the new word is DREAM, and here is my page.

PERFECT WEATHER (for ducks)

Well i know usually when its raining and cold, us scrappers say "perfect weather for scrapping".  but it really is just to cold to go out to the garage and scrap, so i dont have anything to show you at the moment. It feels like we are back in Ballarat, only that we are still reaching double figures, just to show you how cold it has been,

even Oscar has been feeling the cold, so we had to go shopping for him , Courtnie found this very cute hooded jumper for him , he looks so cute.

 Hope to be back soon with something to show you and maybe a giveaway!!!!

PRETTY IN PINK

Well i have finally finished this layout of Courtnie, it has sat half finished on my desk for a couple of weeks now, i have tried different things and nothing was working for me, but i have never worked on just 1 colour before either, well today i thought  STUFF IT just stick it down , so i did and here it is.

                                STILL NOT SURE HOW I FEEL ABOUT IT.
( sorry not the best photo , was a bit late when i took it)

NOT OFTEN ENOUGH

Not very often does dave let me take a picture of him , this one was taken maybe 2 years ago, and ive only just scrapped it (cant rush these things) but i thought id share it with you

Hopefully it wont be that long until i get another one of him.

Well the weather has been ok ,not as cold as in vic, my friends are saying it has been freezing, not missing that ,but i do miss you all.

ANOTHER LAYOUT

Here is a page i finished last week of Courtnie, havent been doing much as i have the flu,i a bit better now,

i love these papers from MY MINDS EYE, actually i love all their papers and all the co-ordinating embellishments that go with them.
