Love Cherish Admire

This is a pumpkin hour page for White with One challenge. I love yellow. It is one of my favourite colours. I think yellow is a happy colour. Because of the huge variations in yellows I find it is easier to work with a Black and white photo. This is a quick page that I have once again done with what was readily available at the top of the boxes. It is a really cute photo of Noah and I hope you enjoy the page.

Spring

Gosh another page! This is another page I have done for Scrapville. Janet has put together another fabulous monthly Pack this time using the Cashmere Dame range by Traci Smith. This was great for me because as you know my Scrapping room is already packed in boxes and the move has been delayed for a few months so the monthly pack had everything I need. I just added a bit of spritzing and stamping  and I found some older photo's of Lily. I hope you enjoy the page.

Peek a Boo

Well I am back on the grid again. This has been a very difficult year but we are able to finish it off with the engagement of DD3 (albeit with a broken ankle which occurred the same day as the proposal....and no it was not because of too much champagne) and the impending birth of grandchild number 3 to DD1(Very, very exciting and unexpected). I have noticed that some of you have been checking my blog while I was unavailable...so thank you and I hope to have a few pages up soon.

This page was done for the sketch challenge for Janet at Scrapville.I loved this photo of Noah as he was playing Peek a Boo with Grandpa. I was always too slow to get him with his hands over his eyes as well. But never mind I love this shot. Because my craft room is packed up for the move I have had to use what was readily available. Except for the title being crooked I was happy with the result. I would love you to leave me a message to let me know what you think.

Believe in Dreams

I have beem quite prolific in production of pages over the last week. I have had a week off work and it has been lovely being able to sit down and start and finish a page. I've thorougly enjoyed it. Also I have been able to take the time and go through a few of my drawers in my craft room and have been surprised at what I have had stashed for a long time. I think it is a good idea to have a drift through at various times to jog your memory at just what you have...amazing.
I have done a challenge for 123 Challenge Which include the colour  Mint....Tick.   Beads....Tick. And the word Believe...Tick.  I think that covers all areas. I was happy with the end result.

Birthdays are Just a Feather

This photo was taken when we were having a birthday celebration for Mel and Greg and  I really loved the glow from the candles on the vase of flowers.It gave the picture a lovely ambience.Lily is in the background waiting for her turn to blow out the candles.I felt that it lent itself to a pretty page. I have done so many boy pages lately that I struggled with pretty.Also I find circles a challenge. It's not called a challenge for nothing. I hope you like my take on it. If you visit my blog I would love you to leave a comment.I have done this challenge for Frosted Designs.

This shows the flower on the page which I have layered with a few colours and shapes and then spritzed with a pink that contrasts with the colours.

Real Good

What a good challenge for Scrap the Boys this month. Recycle  Re-use. How good is that. I had kept a McDonalds take away bag that I had emptied (Yummmmmm). It had a picture of a tractor on it and at the time I thought that it would make a good boy's page at some time or other and Scrap the Boys came up with the challenge.I have used some of the wording on the bag as a title and other pieces to make the bunting and  pieces of wording for comments and also for the pinwheels. No piece was left un-used. And then I also used a piece of check ribbon that I salvaged from some gift wrapping for a bit of backing. The hardest decision was what photo of Noah to use....I have quite a number to choose from.  He may well think that all grandma's have a permanent attachment of a camera on the end of their arm.

Life Is Good at One

How amazing has the past year been watching Noah grow. With such a shaky start he has gone ahead in leaps and bounds. And now he is One. He is such a joy with his happy little nature and his infectious laugh. He has helped his Grandpa along and given him a lot of fun and enjoyment at such a difficult time. He has come along at the perfect time. I loved this photo at his birthday party...the look of wonder and amazement on his face.I had done the page and it fitted in perfectly for the Scrap the Boys Challenge. I thought the invitations that Andrea used for Noah's birthday were so cute that I wanted to keep the memory of it and decided to use it as a guide for my page.

I picked up on the banner on the invitation and used it on my page. I was happy with the end result.
