Celebrate Turning 2.

The challenge on the Bird is the Word blog is to use the word Celebrate and use their sketch as well if you would like. I have based my page on the sketch and I have used some lovely photo's of Noah on his second birthday.I loved the little cars on this My little Shoebox paper and because Noah is so attracted to all things car and any thing mechanical I thought it was a good theme. He will walk around with a lid off a bottle and pretend it is a steering wheel and that he is driving it. He always brings a smile to your face.

I hope you enjoy my page.

Today I'm 10.

When I started this page I thought back to the excitement of the day when Lily was born. The early morning call to say that she had arrived.Girl? Boy? Both OK? Name? Weight? All of the excited questions that you want to ask all at once. She was our first grandchild and the start of a new and different journey in our lives. Lily has been a joy and it was lovely looking at things through the eyes of a child again.
Now she is ten and you think ,"where did those years go so quickly." We are now approaching the tween years with anticipation. This is the wonderful thing about Scrapping, you preserve the memories of these years.
This page has been done for a challenge at Stuck.

 

I hope you enjoy my page.

Bath Time

Dots. Polka Dots. This is the theme at Frosted Designs for their latest challenge. I love dots. The biggest challenge was  to decide on which spotted  paper to use. So I used a variety. I had a cute photo of Noah in the bath and I let this guide me. I'm almost at pumkin time with this challenge so thankfully it came together quickly....quite dotty really.

Bath Time Belle

The lovely ladies at Stuck have a challenge this month using four photo's. I quite often get a lovely series of photo's and have a seriously hard time deciding which one to use. This challenge was great because I had some beautiful photo's of Chloe just after she had come out of the bath with the towel wrapped around her. She is such a happy little soul and just goes with the flow. It was lovely to be able to use a few of the photo's on one layout.

 

 

I'm a bit disappointed that my photo's are not clearer but I did not have very good light. I hope you enjoy my page.
Happy Scrapping.

How many punches do I have in my drawer? To put it nicely ...quite a few. I do use them but maybe not as often as I could. When I saw that Frosted Designs had a challenge to use punches I thought that this was a great opportunity to dust off a few cobwebs.
I have used four border punches,including a Martha Stewart bird border punch,a beautiful Martha Stewart leaf punch, and also a Stampin' Up flower punch. With this one I punched a few flowers out of different papers, I then cut them up and put them back together to make the main flower on the page. I also used a small flower punch to scatter.
I picked up the colours from Lily's headband. I was glad to use all of these punches.. I think I used six punches.

I thought that the colours turned out really nicely and worked well together. I hope that you enjoy my page.
Happy Scrappin'.

So Precious

Well I don't know what happened to my previous blog. I ended up with huge white space at the end of it. After prolonged attempts to edit I gave up. I hope you have persevered with it and made it through to the end. I hope this download or upload or whatever load goes through ok.
I found This challenge on The Frosted Designs site. It was white, black with one other colour. I already had black and white papers and embellishments sitting on my craft table from another page that I had done. As yellow is a particular favourite of mine I decided to use that.I found a pretty photo of Chloe that would suit these colours admirably and I was away.

 

 

So Sweet

This was a page that I started at our Sunday Scrapday at Mudgegonga.I thought that it fitted beautifully with the Stuck challenge. I Have done such a lot of boy pages lately and I really wanted a lovely girly page. I started with the beautiful photo's of Chloe and the larger flowers and the twine. I think that was all I contributed and my fabulous scrapping friends all contributed. Delsie looked at my colours and said she had the perfect pattern paper to go with it and then threw a bit of spotty ribbon in and it looked wonderful. Along came Anthea who had some beautiful  hat pins that she had hand made and a few buttons and the page just fell together. So all in all this is a group contribution. I took it home and did a bit of final tweaking and it really is as pretty and girly as I had envisioned. Thank you ladies.
This is one of the really nice things about scrapping with a group, the friendly cameraderie.They make a good day a fabulous day.

These photo's show the detail of the
embellishments.

I thought the flowers complemented the papers beautifully.

Thanks for looking at my page. I hope that you enjoyed it.
