Ever since I first saw Beaches..way back when I had no kiddies, this song brought a tear to my eye..Everytime I heard it..I knew I always wanted to use it some way. And now thanks to the ease of technology..I have. And it has brought tears to my eyes again.. I am no pro and obviously all the origonal handicam work was by my husband, as I was busy having the baby... But I love it.  I want a soundtrack to all of our lives now..

Thanks for looking...

Final challenges for May:

Get Picky sketch challenge:

This was a really fun sketch and I have wanted to scrap these hysterical photos for AGES..

I love the Crate woodgrain paper as a background. Works well with bright colours and I have seen it used well with pastels too - very versatile. The letters in the title that spell Grumbles are from VERY old BG. I found them the other day.. I think thet came up well... Bunting is Sassafras stickers - but I have stuck small triangles over it - so you can hardly tell!

STUCK! challenge:

I have obviously turned the sketch...and taken quite a few liberties with it...Hehehe.. But I really like the finished layout. I bought the title paper, simply because I wanted to a layout with that title!I love the colours in this one. A self-timered shot - that I am really proud of too!

Bird is the Word Challenge:

Using the word 'living'.

Not much more I can say except that this photo makes me miss him 'little'.. REALLY... Sleeplessness and all..

Once upon A sketch time:

Again apologies for the quality again. Don't know what's going on with my camera setting at the moment..

Any who.. This is the first time I have entered a challenge over at Once Upon A Sketch. I really like tihis layout. They are some of my fave photos of him right now. Still getting use out that Echo Park boy range. Always finding use from it on must of his layouts and actually some of the girls ones too!

That's all from here right now. The little chickies need the puter to do their homework!

Bye!

nearly due..

On a particularly cool evening I had the privlege to photograph the Lance family again. Kell is decidely gorgeous when pregnant and I love photographing her. Ollie is pretty darn cute too. Jeremy..well I can take him or leave him - LOL! Just kidding! In the space of 20 min, with a headache looming and a toddler taking off for the nearest road I was really please with how many great shots I was able to get! Beautiful family = beautiful photos I guess..

My fave is the black and white one where Kell's bump is touching Jeremy. I love it. Oh and these photos were all taken just steps from our front door - bonus! No need to have a heavily pregnant Mum trooping all ove rthe place in search of the perfect location. Plus Rodda had a hot coffee waiting for us when we were done..

Thanks guys.... 

A photo a day part 3:

A big week for Ryley J..He started to crawl...It's on now people...

An 8 month impromptu photo shoot - during someone elses shoot...

Home from a walk to pick up the bigger girlies from school..

Well hello! Facing forward now.. Big boy..Another milestone..

And finally me.. New hair today.. After a marathon effort at the hairdressers..

Stuck sketch challenge:

I love this one.  Obviously I have turned the sketch..The photo has been hanging around for ages. I don't often cut photos into circles anymore. But this kinda worked for me. Lovely Crate cloud paper. misting as per usual, but on the doilie this time around.A bit of splattered paint.. Not an excellent photo. Sorry.  It seems I forgot to up the f stop when I used the camera. So it's not all in focus. Ahh..well no time to redo it around these parts..

Bird is the Word Challenge:

I have only recently stumbled across this challeneg blog. The challenge word was sunshine. I had the sticker left over for some yummy American Kraft stuff so it worked perfectly.. Very bright...The big fabric flower is Basic Grey.. Skies are grey: is Jillibean Soup.. The yellow wood grain behind the photo is the packaging from some Studio Calico letters..

A photo a day cont..

These 2 days document what I find around our house ALL the time. The big girls are at school and I can walk into their room or the toy room and find the toys doing things like this. The creepy thing is it looks like they deliberately lifted their books to cover up what they were up too... And the littlest pets all snuggled up in their little beds..Creepy sweet..

Little Miss M. With blanket, big bubby and sleeping bag on. Going down for her afternoon nap. I don't know how much longer these will continue..so I really wanted to document it..

Cats scratch don't ya know Mr PH?  Get away man - get away now! Perhaps his daredevil attitide to felines stems from the fact that it appears his brain is in his butt? Upside down day for Mr PH...hehe

Bye!
