Boy in a Hat

 For their March Challenge White With One have...White with Brown and Doodling.I have trawlled through the stash and come upwith a couple of browns and then I have added a bit of doodling with the little figures and then added a couple of photo's of my favourite little man. I had an all day scrap on Sunday with friends so I was able to finish with time to spare.


And another, a close up of this cheeky fellow.

 
 
Thanks for looking at my page. Happy Scrapping.

Beautiful grandchild

With no apologies or further ado  I think it is the right and duty of everygrandparent to brag and skite. If you don't do it you are not doing the job right. If you want to continue reading consider yourself forwarned. Well I have been to visit our latest grand daughter so I have some fabulous photo's.. Oh and also to visit DD1 and SIL. Little Chloe is beautiful and is full of smiles and bubble blowing.

Janet at Scrapville has once again excelled herself with a beautiful Monthly Pack. It makes it easy when everything is there. This month it is Bo Bunny C'est la Vie.I was able to do a pretty girly page and ..believe it or not ...but I had some lovely girly photo's that did the papers justice.
I would love you to leave me a message if you agree.



I made some pretty flowers as embellishment from dress pattern paper and then spritzed them to pick up the colours in the paper pack.


Thanks for taking the time to look at my Blog.

Cherish This Moment


 
Just a quick blog.I have just shifted house and still have boxes to my armpits.It took a while for the internet to be re-connected so I was off the air for a couple of weeks. I was told initially that it would be a few days for reconnection. Get Real.
I have done this page for Scrapville using this months pack. The pack had a lot of different elements to use. I layered the frames and the tags on one corner of the photo and tried to include plenty of butterflies.I thought that the antique look flower really went well with the theme of the black and white photo.
 

 
 
This card was amonthly card sketch challenge also for Scrapville.
 
 
 
Happy Scrapping everyone.

Exciting News

I hope everyone had a wonderful Festive Season and that you had a lot of photo opportunities that will help you along with this years pages.I was lucky to spend the Christmas period with family and our beautiful little Granddaughter who this time last year wasn't even a twinkle in the eye. So this was a major bonus.

I am excited to announce that I have been chosen to be on the Scrapville Design Team for 2013. I am looking forward to the themes and sketches that Janet will challenge us with. It will also be exciting to be working with such a talented team.

Chloe and Mum

On this page I have used a beautiful photo that I took when I was visiting Chloe and family. She had just been fed and was looking very contented. Janet from Scrapville had come up with another fabulous monthly pack and I couldn't wait to use it. I thought it fitted perfectly with my photo. Once again I've had to borrow punches etc from fellow Scrapophiles. I'm very lucky to have such a lovely group of scrapping friends. Although I must admit that the packed boxes in the craft room have a very different look....they all look like they have exploded as I have re-opened and fossicked through the tops for something special.It will not be long now until we shift and I will have my Dream Scrapbooking Room.  I had to underline it  because anyone who may be reading this blog will understand. But back to the job at hand. I am loving having a new Grandaughter.I heard a saying once that I didn't appreciate at the time but now that I have Grandchildren it all makes sense....If I had've known how much fun it was to be a Grandparent I would have done it first.

 
Thank you for visiting my Blog and I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Pride and Joy

The November challenge on White with 1 is Green with Chevron pattern.I found in the top of the packed boxes (now with a few opened and ratted through) stash a nice variety of green papers and bits and bobs...sorry embellishments.So a nice peaceful Sunday afternoon and I came up with this page.

Introducing Chloe Grace

We are very excited to announce the arrival of our newest grand child, a beautiful little girl to DD1 and husband.. Chloe Grace. I haven't had a cuddle yet, that will have to wait for a few weeks until I travel to Adelaide to visit. Looking forward to that with great excitement.
So for the Kraft It Up challenge this month this is Chloe's debut into the scrapbooking world. And I am sure it is the start of many Chloe pages. The challenge was for plenty of white space on the page.I like white space and found it an easy page to work on and I was happy with the result. It is also a lovely look in which you can use scrap paper for the flower petals.
