A Happy Scramper

Creative Scrappers #209

I don't think I've played with a Creative Scrappers Challenge before although I've long admired them.

It was great to have some time last week to create a layout about my daughter growing into a young woman.....

First of all the sketch.....

and my layout.....

I adore layouts that show my children over the years....just love seeing the changes, the similarities, the cute little chubby baby cheeks lol :-)))

Gorgeous flower from Wild Orchid Crafts and a few teeny Primas with lovely MHC leaves.

Thanks for popping in to see what I've been up to.

Bye for now.....

The Great Wall with Scrapbook Boutique

When I saw Bo Bunny's Serenity range over at The Scrapbook Boutique I knew it would be perfect for scrapping some of my daughter's China Trip photos....it feels great to get a few layouts into her album of this very special memory.

She is so lucky to have seen this amazing Wonder of the World!

I've used these items  from Scrapbook Boutique -

Once Upon A Sketch Jan 15 Challenge

Hey there....how's your day going?

It is a VERY wet day here...we've had inches of rain overnight and there's a severe weather warning for today so glad I can stay inside all dry and cozy:-))

Here is my photo for today for the January Photo Challenge....the prompt just happened to be WATER - well there's heaps of that around today....this is what our pergola looks like.....

Last night I had heaps of fun playing with the new challenge over at Once Upon A Sketch. Here are all the details -

Journalling Criteria:

HELLO 2012 or GOODBYE 2011?

For this challenge, the journalling theme is new beginnings, upcoming adventures but also saying goodbye to yet another year.. Are you glad 2011 is over? Are you looking forward to starting fresh in 2012? What are your goals or resolutions for the year ahead? What are you most looking forward to? Or maybe you can journal about your thoughts for the new year.

Things that you can journal about: a new job, house, baby or new scrapping adventures or Design Teams. Are you taking time off work? Are you planning a holiday somewhere? Maybe your children are starting school or you are getting a new pet. Or you could tell us why you are glad 2011 is over or why you will miss it. Anything goes really!

Another fantastic sketch and prompt from Nadia....here's my layout....

I love the idea of this journalling prompt so much I'm going to create another layout for "Hello 2012". I may even get to play a little today:-)

Hope your day is awesome too!

Sketchbook Saturday

Hey there.....I hope you'vre having a great weekend.

We spent the day down at Currumbin Beach with rellies who are staying there for a couple of weeks....it was lovely:-)

Just realised my card for Iwona's Sketchbook Saturday is late but what the heck....here it is anyway!

Had fun with Kaisercraft's sweet Miss Nelly papers, a Manor House Creations flower and a My Sentiment's Exactly stamp.

So, I'm off to scrap something fun:-)) Have a great evening - thanks for popping by!
