Hello Everyone,
Just thought I would share with you a few bits and pieces with you.
I am not really a card maker but have a look at those that I have made recently.
Have you popped on over to the
Scrapbookit Blog or to the
Scrapbookit Online Store lately??? Make sure you do and check out the entries to this months challenge whilst you are there.
I have also got a few little 'shares' over on the blog if you haven't already seen them.
Until then happy scrapping,
Welcome!
A lot of happenings in this household since my last post. We survived the organisation of the Dream Strive Achieve Dinner at Brayden's school. It was a great night....I believe everyone enjoyed themselves. An awesome night and some good money raised for the kids.
Mother's Day has also been and gone......I was spoilt with a voucher to go to High Tea at the Windsor Hotel in Melbourne and the contents of the raffle prize won at the dinner including a neck, back and shoulder massage and facial at Beautifully Done.
We are preparing for a big few weeks with the Sandhurst Diocesan Conference in Bendigo at the end of this week and then I am off next week for another conference. Busy, busy, busy! I haven't even mentioned school reports.
Unfortunately not a lot of scrapbooking has been happening. I have done a few little projects that I am unable to share with you until the end of the week. They are for Scrapbookit's newest challenge. Make sure you head over
(click here) and check out what the team have posted so far....some gorgeous work!
I have though got a double layout to share with you today. As you might recall I have been attempting to complete some of Brayden's Baby Album. There are SO many photos...I am attempting to pull out those that tell the story and any extras or double ups I will place in his special photo box (although I may need another one!)
Todays layout is of our very first cuddles with our little man. Please excuse the photos on the layout...7 years ago we had a digital camera which produced pixelated images. Not like I can go back and retake these!
First Cuddles
Not the most glamorous photos of either Jason or I but boy are they very special.
I have used some scraps of patterned paper from my collection together with some Kraft Cardstock.
Here are some close ups....
I have also used a label maker to print my little 'with Mum' and 'with Dad' labels. I haven't used them for ages and had almost forgot about them.
Thanks for stopping by, have a lovely day and don't forget to leave a comment to let me know what you think.
Well what a huge week. I hope the end of the week finds everyone really well and ready for some relaxation and recovery over the weekend. There has been so much happening in our little world as I am sure there has been in everyone's household.
I am here to share with you the next instalment of Brayden's baby album. I must warn you that this photo (the one on the layout) is not the best quality or the best of us but what a very special moment in our lives.
Here it is...
Don't we look exhausted!!!
The quality of the photo doesn't help....our camera was not a great one...needless to say we bought a new one rather quickly.
I used a photo of the newspaper clipping as the original is in Brayden's baby book. It isn't the best copy but I really wanted the details in the clipping included on this layout.
Again, I think this patterned paper was one my sister gave to me in my early days of scrapbooking.
Here is a close up of the details...
Well, I hope you like this addition to Brayden's baby album.
I am just so excited to get some of these special moments recorded.
I hope you get to enjoy some 'Me Time' (whatever that may be) at some point over the weekend.
Welcome to a new week everyone! They are just flying past aren't they.....
Today (Monday) I have posted another layout using the Authentique Genuine Collection.
I would love you to pop on over and check it out. I have completed a DOUBLE layout - yes I know...a DOUBLE (very rare these days for me) but also I have completed a layout of my Dad and Brayden.
Over the last little bit Dad has made a few passing comments about there being no layouts of him!!! There are actually others but thought I would tackle this one for him.
Here is a sneak peek.....
Now make sure when you head over to Scrapbookit you check out all of the other layouts and cards and most importantly don't forget to leave a comment for me and let me know what you think. I love receiving your comments (good and bad).

Hey Everyone,
I hope all is well in your world and that you have had a lovely day of remembrance for ANZAC Day. A very special day in all Australians hearts.Over the last two weeks I have been on sick leave. Whilst in the beginning I didn't feel like scrapbooking (that is a big call for me) I have well and truly done some since then.
Over the next few days I would love to share what I have been doing.
I decided that it was high time to get into completing Brayden's baby album (it has been 7 years now!)
I started by checking out all of the different baby/little boy papers that I had.....hmmmm a bit scary what I have collected!!
Then I sorted my photos! Well, I sorted the ones that are printed.
I started from the beginning....here is my first layout....Introducing...
I have no idea what paper this is. It is one of the very first papers I ever had in my stash as were the embellishments and ribbons. As a matter of fact I think my sister bought it for me!
I have used little Adorn-It stickers and of course gorgeous Thickers - as always!
Here are some close ups...
Isn't he just so gorgeous! Well, I think so anyway.
Thanks for popping by.....I will be back for another share soon!
Hey Everyone,

What an awesome start to a HUGE week for me!!
I have a few little gifts that I have created to share with you.Brayden was extremely lucky to have two lovely teachers to start off his Grade 2 year. Mrs Lappin has decided to retire and Mrs O'Mahony has just had a new little baby boy!I didn't have a chance to create for them prior to the holidays so have done so over the holidays. For Mrs O'Mahony I have decorated a photo frame and for Mrs Lappin I have created a little box of handmade cards.
Check them out....
I hope they like their little gifts.
Have a great week everyone!
I hope that everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend...we did.
We had family visit from Sydney and we had a ball.....lots of food and plenty of drink. We had the rest of the family for Easter Sunday lunch which was a lovely day...again plenty of food and drink!
Madi, one of our goddaughters, was one of our visitors. For Christmas we gave her a pack of scrapbooking supplies. On the weekend we had some girly time and I helped her to create her very first scrapbooking off the page project.
We sat for several hours on Monday afternoon and played. It was so special to be able to spend that quality time with her - a rare occasion......especially with two younger boys (Brayden and Mitchell) who were just as keen to scrapbook.
I thought I would share with you what we came up with.......
Here is Madi with a few of the different pages of the album....
Basically, we painted the edges of the album, covered the album with patterned paper, inked edges and did a small amount of decorating. Madi is going to add some photos and extra bits and pieces when she is at home. She has promised to send me photos of the finished product which I will post for you all to see.
Madi was so proud of the scrapping she did and so she should be....I was super proud of her too!
I have sent her home with a few magazines to create some layouts hopefully she will have a go and create some great layouts. Her Mum and Dad are hoping that I haven't created a "scrapbooking addict" - I hope I have!
