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.

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.
