Scrap The Boys Feb Challenge

I don't often have just the right photos for the Scrap The Boys challenge, but this month I made do with an older one.  :)  The theme was to scrap a photo of you and your boy, using a Boy inspired love theme.  At the moment, there are lots of things I could list that I don't love (attitude wise) but the challenge did make me look beyond the current frustrations to all the things that are special and that I do love about Mason.  :) TFL!

White With 1 Feb Challenge

The criteria for this month was white + pink + hearts at White With One, so I decided to give it a go.  I'm really pleased with how this one turned out.  Feels good to scrap again and to use some older pp up along with way.  :)

Thanks for your comments.  I appreciate every one.  :)

White with 1 for October

The challenge this month at White with 1 was for white with yellow and stars.  I got an idea straight away - gotta love that - and I am so happy with how this one turned out.  :) 

I've been lucky emough to get a photo of each of the kids singing and doing the actions to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star - glad to add this one of Alyssa to the collection.  :)

Thanks for looking!

My Creative Sketches layout

Another first - I had a go at the My Creative Sketch this month.  These pics of Alyssa have been hanging around since Easter, but with the sketch and Deena Rutter/EPs So Happy Together kit, everything just fell together.  :) 

Thanks for looking.  I hope your scrapping is falling together too!

Catching Up and Scrap Friends Sketch

I was all fired up to keep the posts happening, and more importantly, to keep the scrapping happening, but life got in the way.  :(  I went two whole months without scrapping a single thing (on paper anyway), which is the longest I've gone in the whole time I've been scrapping.  I did get some layouts done for my ILs photo books of their trip to Europe, and that was playing with templates and stuff in PSE, but it wasn't hands on with paper, which I love.

Anyway, my first scrappy effort was for the Scrap Friends sketch this month.  I've liked the sketches there for a while, but so far hadn't completed one.  This one just set me in motion and I put this layout of Lil together to suit. 

She loves to pretend she is off somewhere with her bag, baby and shoes. I love that she always gives me a kiss before she goes. :) Thanks for looking!

Scrap Therapy Challenge - I believe in fairies!

I decided to have a go at a new challenge over at Scrap Therapy.  It is a sketch challenge, so a great easy starting point.  I loved that I was able to get these older photos of Lilyanne out of the pile of to-dos and into the 'done and happy' pile. She looks so cute with her fairy wings and headband.  :)  Thanks for looking! 

July 2012 Challenges

I decided to have a go at some challenges this month to try and get the mojo happening again.  I completed four layouts scrapping with my wonderful friend Kate at the start of the month, and one more last week.

For Aussie Scrap Jack - a scrapjack of Jeanenne Gale showing Mason enjoying the slip 'n' slide last Summer.

For Scrap The Girls, the challenge was to use black, white and one other colour - I chose pink and scrapped a layout about Lil and her favourite teddy, Georgia Bear.  :)

For White with 1, the challenge was to use White+dots+tape.  I loved playing with my mists and a mask to create this one of Lily's 1st birthday.  :)

The other two layouts had to be uploaded to galleries, so I will upload them here once the month is up.  :)

Until next month....
