I love my vintage blossoms

Do you want to win these flowers??? If so, go and visit Krissys Handmade Flowers to be in the running. They are very cool and would look fab on any layout.

More Scrapping

See what happens when you dont update your blog at least once a week??? I bore you all with all the scrapping that I have been doing:)

This LO was for Scrapping Outback for the March Scrapjack challenge. We brought this T & hat for Lochie so I could take pics and use Micks ticket from the concert to scrap them. I love the end result of this.
This one was for Scrapability Sketches challenge called Scrap Soup # 2. Bek gives us an ingredient each day then we do a LO. Ingredients for this soup were kraft cardstock, bling, transparency, flower/round embellishment & rub ons.

This one was for Scrappin Chicks White with red

Scrapping Outbacks 4 product challenge was a Christmas theme pack so I though this was the perfect photo to scrap

I love this LO too. The photos of Mick and the kids are beautiful. This was for Scrapability Sketched Design Team tryouts. We had to scrap our favourite things and do it in "grunge". This is my first effort at grunge and I think I did ok.

This is for Deb's challenge over at Scrapping Outback. Check it out here at SO . Deb set a criteria for us.

Another challenge at SO. This is for the White with pink challenge. Love these pics of Angela and I

Another SS DT tryout LO. This one Bek did a sketch for us to follow

And another scrapping first for me, hesritage/vintage. Again another DT tryout challenge. I was a little unsure about doing this style but have been told I should do more. I emailed Aunty Teresa for some old photos of the Grandparents and when i saw this one I loved it. This is Grandma at her 21st.

Well I am soooooooooooooooooo sorry to bore you all with so many LO's. Will try to update my blog more often so there arent as many in 1 post.

Lochie is still getting around on his guts but he has started sitting up by himself. So I am thinking that crawling properly isnt too far away. I found him in the bathroom last week sitting there looking at the bath. Was too early for a bath :)

Both kids have been unwell. Lochie had an ear infection. He was pushing 39.9 temps and was just miserable, especially of a night :( He then got a rash from the antibiotics. Angela complained of a sore tummy on Monday. Thought she just needed to visit the toilet until 3pm when my couch become covered in vomit.......mmmmmm nice.......NOT!!!!! She was much better Tuesday (thank god).

Anyway, better be off and do something. I am off to Noosa with mum on Sunday for a Thelma & Louise trip. Mum is shouting me to get my hair done for my birthday. My first "ME" day since before Lochie was born.

Bye

More Scrapping

Hi All

Well I have been scrapping up a storm lately. I thank my stop smoking for this. Yep Mick and I have not had a smoke for 3 weeks tomorrow. Its been hard but not as bad as I thought. So by scrapping its been keeping my mind of smoking.

Well my little man has cut another tooth, 3 down, lots to go. I am pretty sure that tooth # 4 is also nearlly here. He has also started to combat crawl. He has a new nickname "slug guts". Seriously thinking about putting a cleaning cloth on his tummy and he can clean the floors whilst he is moving around :)


Anyway here are some LO's that I have done recently.


This one is for Scrabability Sketches. It was for DT Tryout sketch # 1.

This was also for Scrapability Sketches. This is for Feb Challenge called Scrapability Soup. There was certain things you had to do and they were use green, use paint, stitching, doodling & 2 photos, 1 had to be distressed.

This was for sketch # 2 for DT tryouts.

Feb sketchc challenge over at Scrapability Sketches

Another DT Tryouts LO. I love these photos of Mick & Lochie, especially the big photo, its just so loving.

This one is for Scrapping Outback Using the Feb "Challenge Yourself" kit.

And the Rusty Pickle challenge over at Scrapping Outback

Well I think thats most of the ones that I have done recently. We got set another DT challenge this morning to do a vintage/heritage LO. OMG!!!!!!! THis will certainly be a challenge as I have never done this style before. Have been on to Aunty Teresa today to email me a pick of the grandparents wedding.

Anyway enough rambling.

Love

Camping and Scrapping

Well we took the camper away for the first time on the weekend. We headed down to Tullebudgera Creek camping ground. It is a great park. They have pools there and one of them even has a waterslide. Mum, Bec, B & Mia, Nat, Joei & Rahni came to visit on Saturday and check out our setup. Mick and B had a ball on the waterslide, I think they had more fun than the kids. Anyway, here are a couple of pics of the camper setup. These were taken Sunday morning before it was pulled down and after a night of rain, yep rained ALL night and we had leaks. Lesson learnt. Next time we are getting a tarp to put over the top of the camper :)

Some Scrapping. This LO of Lochie was done for a challenge over at Scrapping Outback. The challenge was to use white cardstock with only the colour aqua. You could use as little or as much aqua as you want.

This was for the Feb sketch over at Scrapping Outback.

And this was the 4 producct challenge at Scrapping Outback. I love this photo of Angela and her BIG smile:)

Anyway, thanks for popping in. Make sure you leave a comment so that I know you have popped in.

Hi it has been a while since I have done a post. I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a good new year.

Well we went on our road trip, just over 5000kms all up and I think that we are all still getting over it. We had a great christmas in Mildura with all my family. It was awesome to catch up with everyone and meet the children of my cousins etc etc. I have included a family photo that I managed to get everyone all rounded up to get. There are only 3 missing from the photo, my 2 nephews and my cousins little man. Grandma & Grandpa were thrilled that we all made the effort to travel from near & far. The next family catch up is in 5 years in QLD.......WOO HOO no serious driving.

Whilst we were in Sydney we brought ourselves a camping trailer. We got a tow ball fitted whilst we were at dads and towed the trailer home. We have booked our first weekend away and are very excited.

Well got home and there was a few challenges to be done. This one is for Rachelle's 2010 challenge. Something that happened in 2009 that will change things in 2010. I have been to scrap this photo of Lochie since he was born and thought this was the perfect photo for his LO.


This LO was to create a scene

This photo of Angela was Christmas morning. She was very happy with her new jewels that Santa brought her

And the little man enjoying his bottle

And here is the WHOLE family, arent we a wild looking bunch????? :) I am so glad that I got this photo especially for the grandparents.

Anyway better be off and check what the kids are doing. Angela and Chris I think are wrestling and Lochie should be sleeping.

Back soon with more updates. Thanks for dropping by

Love

Big Girl turns 3

Here are some pics from Angela's birthday party.

We ended up having an ice cream cake because the banana cake that I cooked and was going to turn into a monkeys face didnt turn out like I had hoped :( I am pretty sure from these photo's that Angela enjoyed it :)


Ice cream cake all over her face

Waiting for mummy to cake the cake

This was on her actual birthday. Bec, B & Mia came up for dinner and cake.

Opening her talking kitchen. The look on her face was priceless :)

Well I have done a little bit of scrapping the last week or so but things have been quiet over at Scrapping Outback due to some very bad news. Rachelle the owners husband was involved in a serious car accident last week and is in a coma and on life support. I think all the girls on the forum are in shock. Sending Rach and her family lots of hugs and praying that Lyndon will make a full recovery.

We head off next Tuesday for our Christmas trip to Melbourne and then stopping in Sydney on the way home. We are looking forward to getting away and catching up with all our family and friends.

So if I dont get back on here before we go away, I would like to wish everyone a very safe and happy Christmas and a happy New Year.

Love

Nene :)

Hi

Well I cant believe that my little girl turns 3 on Wednesday. Can someone please tell me where the last 3 years have gone?????

Well I shall be back next weekend to post some pics from her "cheeky monkey" party.

Until then

Nene :)
