another test:

Just a little blog test:

A few everyday photos from this month..Just for a test as I am changing up my blog a wee bit..

Night xx

A challenge and a 'just coz':

First up..I was trolling through my photographed layouts and came across this one:

Started out life as a blog challenge..Went totally off the rails and was unable to contain it to the criteria and it turned out like this. It a photo from last May.When Master R had his first fascination with wheels....I had all the little strips lined up - but not stuck down - I went out for a run - I came back and Rod had cleaned up - including all my little strips....Aaargh.....

Kraft it Up Challenge:

Slowly working through my Christmas shots...This challenge was:

1:piece of Kraft
2: photos
3: word title (I figure I have three MAIN words??)
4: different pieces of patterned paper ( I have used 4. But more than once?)
5: embellies

Aaah close enough for me.. I struggle to not add bit and bobs as I go..Alas with the way of the first layout pictured...

See more layouts for you to see!!!

Bye!

mad colour!

I did say I would post HEAPS of layouts this month..You see I have done heaps of layouts..But I am finding it difficult to find time to upload them and blog... So here is one for you:

I love the MAD yellow of this Basic Grey background.. And this is one of my fave photos of him from the Summer.. I am having an obsession with hand-ruled lines at the moment? Gotta have them everywhere. This was a quick layout. Came together easy and I love it...

And Scrap the Boys:

Actually this is my fave photo of him. Nude, cheeky and trying so hard to be like his older siblings. I had to dash back to the caravan - wet from the pool- to get the shot.

 A bit of a busy layout.. I haven't used bunting for a while and this pre-cut one from Kaiser I think worked really wellBut I love the photo so much I really don't care too much! It has the appropriate title that was required -  "Life Is Good"... and isn't it just?

Well today anyway!

Bye!

12.3.2012

I have recently visited Liz Kartchner's site and thought I might join in her 12 on 12 challenge.

And seeing as today is a public holiday here..I had the perfect opportunity to catch some cute shots of my kids enjoying all the free kids activities at our local festival..

They made mini garden beds, visited a large petting zoo...Made scarecrows..(Which are all now proudly keeping the birds away from absolutely zilch, in what we around here pretend is a garden bed!) and played with clay to make some creatures they are currently now painting in the backyard..Yikes..

Rylan also got sand thrown in his face by some unknown miscreant toddler and had fun chasing the ducks, swans, chooks..Well just about anything of the feathered variety!

Mama was VERY tired from all this excitment..And from doing it on her own..Dad sleeping off a night shift...It was a VERY long walk from where we had to park our car..It was VERY tricky taking all these great photos from wierd and wonderful angles whilst manhandling my little man in tiny little tents where our pram could not follow...

But it was VERY much alot of fun..And beautiful Autumn weather too..

Early to bed tonight me thinks..

March madness?

I finally got all my photos printed from the Summer...A big edit and then a long haul to upload..

But I am so happy to have them in my hands..

New photos always bring on a scrapping fever. Which is really what I need right now. SO...I have decided to scrap as much as I can this month. I want to  keep updated. So be prepared for LOTS of layouts this month. Nothing flashy. No crazy awesome techniques..Just lots of layouts that I need to get done..
Stay tuned. Here's what I have so far:

(Edited to add:) Turns out this layout is perfectly suitable for entry at Scrap The Girls this month:

Not sure about the pastel layout as per usual...BUT I love the photo of Milla.. The joy on her face is priceless..Christmas is so her thing right now...I actually like the last layout the best. Brights. Paint.. And a photo of the two little men...

So anyways...My scrapbook table is a mess now..Ho hum....Probably have to clean it up before I manage to keep up with this scrapbooking madness I have going on....

Bye!

Sweet little Amelia:

My gorgeous friends Lind and Steve produced this adorable little bundle.. Are they clever or what?

Miss Amelia was such a little trooper. She was perfectly behaved..Apart from a few toileting incidents that I don''t need to go into here...Lind and Steve you are doing famously well...You so obviously adore this little person already. It's amazing how after only knowing them for a few days you feel as if you have been with them your whole life. Lind..love...I applaud you..You are in it up to your eyeballs and a doing wonderfully. You even fed her standing up so that she would be calm enough to get the amazing shots with Steve and his guitar. I think that might be my favourite one.. I even quite like the speaker and the guitar case shots.. A little funky???

Thanks for letting me snap your beautiful new daughter..It was an honour...
