Well it is sort of fixed

2010-08-24T21:51:00.004+10:00

Well I sort of fixed my blog it is better than it was earlier that's for sure.
Today I am going to share some more Bella. I love this photo of Chloe she is really starting to look at the camera now and isn't scared of it anymore so I am making up for all the lost photos and taking heaps of her.I love these papers so many pretty flowers.

I think I will have to get another photograph of this one.The background is actually acrylic with snow around the edge.

Oops I think I stuffed my blog

2010-08-24T18:01:00.002+10:00

I will be back later tonight with another post after I have found the time to fix my diaster I have made with my blog.Don't know what I did but it isn't looking too good at the moment.

I am a bad blogger

2010-08-23T19:09:00.002+10:00

See I told you I was a bad blogger I didn't even last a week of blogging every day.Today I have decided to share some Bella layouts.

I loved this range and all the matching embellishments and alphas.I think this range is suitable for boy or girl layouts.

The first layout is Jordan I love this picture of him.

I loved all the flowers you could cut out of these papers and all the leaves to layer.

Another photo I love Crystal was getting attacked by this butterfly it just wouldn't leave her alone.She was really happy it landed on her at first then it started to freak her out.

A couple of Bo Bunny shares

2010-08-21T19:35:00.002+10:00

I can't believe I am blogging for the 2nd day in a row after neglecting my poor blog for so long.Here are a couple of Bo Bunny layouts I absolutely love this range.The first layout is Crystal dressed up to go on her school excursion to the heritage centre.What a fun day she had they all got dressed up and looked so cute.The second layout is my cheeky little kids at the wildlife world at darling harbour.So many things for them to be looking at and mine are playing in a couple of fake trees.

What should I share tomorrow??? Maybe some more Bo Bunny, some Fancy Pants, Bella ,Basic Grey or a canvas or some mini albums.

A few layouts to share

2010-08-20T21:02:00.005+10:00

I have about 50 layouts and OTP to share so will probably do it over a few weeks.Poor James took photos of them for me I don't think he really thought there were that many and the cat kept trying to stand on them while he was taking pictures.

Oops maybe shouldn't have put this one on the brown concrete though

This layout is Chloe again hard to tell in the picture but the papers have been cut and layered

This layout is a gorgeous photo of Chloe using basic grey and a cute twiddleybitz window.

Relay at my 2 angels

2010-08-10T19:38:00.004+10:00

Sorry about the shocking pictures had to scan them as we have had horrible weather here today has been raining since last night.This is my layout for the relay over at my 2 angels.

I had to include cupcakes on my layout so I made a giant cupcake out of Pink paislee pop fashion papers (available at my 2 angels) and cardstock.The cupcake opens up and there is another photo underneath.The handmade flower on top is covered in german glass glitter The smaller cupcakes are stamped, cut out and layered and decorated with stickles, velvet ric rac and liquid pearls (available at my 2 angels)
The title is done using pink paislee sticker alphas covered in stickles and american crafts thickers that I have outlined to make them stand out. The cherries have been stamped and coloured in glaze pens and xmas red stickles

Mothers Day and Rep hockey

2010-05-09T22:29:00.003+10:00

Happy Mothers Day to everyone.My gorgeous family gave me lots of pressies and the little kids made me some very special ones. I just love the presents they make me.Jordan had rep hockey today and got 2nd congrats Jordan you played brilliantly and in his 3rd game he scored the winning goal.WE had yummy chinese tonight to celebrate mothers day and my hubby and son came home with a yummy profiterole cake.

Finally a layout

2010-05-04T14:11:00.002+10:00

Finally I have completed a layout (with a bit of help) it was so good to scrap again. I have made an enormous mess in my room and used up heaps of scraps.For Crystal's birthday she wanted to go to build a bear and this bear is now with her all the time even when she cut her cake.I will have to scrap the photos from our trip to build a bear the girls had so much fun.

Christmas is nearly here

2009-12-01T22:23:00.004+11:00

I thought this was going to be a great photo of the kids with the xmas tree. I take this every year and it is amazing how fast they grow each year.I guess I better take another photo because I didn't notice Brandon staring at the reindeers he is totally obsessed with them this year.I will definitely be moving them before I take the next photo.If the poor reindeer even survive he loves them and won't leave them alone.The tree is decorated the lights are up next to start the xmas baking.Then I better get a bit of shopping done I think the kids would be upset if they didn't have any pressies under the tree.

Easter Layout

2009-11-26T20:38:00.001+11:00

I love these photos of Brandon easter morning. He looks kind of guilty in the first one and I absolutely love the one down the bottom where he is smelling his easter egg.These papers were so cute for a little boys easter layout. I used some cute little Jolees sticker chocolate bunnies and on the bottom flowers are some little choc jolees easter eggs and choccies.

Birdhouse OTP

2009-11-25T12:27:00.007+11:00

My children gave me these gorgeous little birdhouses for my birthday and I couldn't decide what I wanted to do with them so I put them away. I recently did a family canvas for Memories that last ( I will share the canvas when I get it back)so I decided to do my little birdhouses to match and then I will use them in my family room together on the cupboard.They are going to look so cute up there.I have a few more OTP's that I am determined to finish this week for presents before I am allowing myself to go and buy a few that I have fallen in love with that I would love to get done for Christmas it is only about a week before we have to start decorating the house and putting the lights up.It has come around so quickly this year and I still have a birthday party and invitations to get done this week.

2009-03-12T20:47:00.002+11:00

Thanks for the lovely comments girls. Only one more night and day till Chloe is home. I bet I will be the first parent waiting there to pick them up.I have been so stressed worrying about her I haven't even scrapped this week. I wonder if she is missing us as much or if she has been having too much fun with her friends and teachers.

Camp

2009-03-11T21:49:00.001+11:00

My gorgeous daughter Chloe has gone off to camp for 3 days.I already miss her and can't wait for her to get home.I'm wondering if I will get a phone call during the night to come and get her I'm hoping she is happy and settled there with her friends.

I better go finish getting things ready for his party they should be arriving in about 30 mins so I better get a move on. I'll try and post his birthday pics tonight if the party doesn't go too late.

School Notes clipboard

2009-02-11T10:31:00.000+11:00

After a few weeks back at school with 5 kids we get a lot of notes.

School photos

2009-01-27T11:21:00.000+11:00

Brandon looking nervous about his first day at his new school

Crystal is excited about seeing all her friends again

Chloe looks a bit worried about going to a new school but she was ok going in.She did transition there last year so she knew a few of the kids. James escaped into the car before I could get a photo of him.He thinks because he is in year 12 he is too old to get his photo taken. I'll try to get him in a group shot of them all when Jordan goes to school tomorrow.

The house is so quiet with only 1 at home I'm going to go and get some scrapping done before it's time to go and get them.

Back to School

2009-01-26T21:08:00.000+11:00

Tomorrow 4 of the kids go back to school. I might get some peace and quiet around here and some scrapping time.They have been on holidays since the 4th of December which seems like forever.Chloe and Brandon start at a new school tomorrow so all 5 will be at the same school that will definitely make life easier.I'm hoping they settle in easily.We just made what seems like hundreds of sandwiches for the freezer and muffins for their lunch boxes. I'll put some photos of them on tomorrow all dressed in their uniforms. Jordan is laughing at them all that he gets an extra day holidays so I'll have to find some chores for him to do.

Dreamworld

2009-01-25T21:12:00.000+11:00

The kids loved meeting all the characters wandering around we missed getting pictures with a few of them though

The tigers were beautiful don't know if I would like to be that close though

I will upload a few more pictures tomorrow there are so many to go through

Possums

2009-01-25T21:07:00.000+11:00

Our first night in Queensland I heard a noise in the screen room off our tent it sounded like someone was out there going through our bags.So I woke Sean up and look who we found looking through our fruit for something he liked.He didn't even try to run

Crystal loved feeding them possums chips but I convinced her that they like fruit better.They absolutely loved bananas the only problem was when you fed on the rest of the family turned up.But I liked having the possums coming to visit more than the ugly can toads.They are horrid things

Road Trip

2009-01-25T20:58:00.000+11:00

Just out of coffs Harbour we blew a tire had a long wait for NRMA to come and change the tire it was bolted under the car and we couldn't get it undone.The kids were not impressed we were out in the middle of nowhere

The big Banana looked heaps bigger to me last time I was there about 30 years ago

We camped next to this giant slurpee at Coffs Harbour the kids thought it was really full they were disappointed to find out it was empty

Road trip they have spent about 24 hours in the car this week travelling

Christmas layouts

2009-01-16T20:25:00.001+11:00

This layout is for Tracey's random challenge #22 and #23 at TBSS I got a couple of chrissy layouts done today will post a pic of the other one when it dries. I got these cosmo cricket papers and diecuts last year and couldn't wait to get my chrissy photos printed to use them.

This layout is Crystal when we were putting up our tree she was being naughty again. If her attitude is like this now what will she be like as a teenager

Putting up our tent

2009-01-11T23:01:00.000+11:00

Total confusion on both their faces

It's sort of up as long as someone holds the pole

We nearly blew away

Our home Don't know how 7 of us are going to live in hre for a week

This is the extra piece we have left over

December photoswap

2009-01-11T13:15:00.000+11:00

Scrap space

2009-01-08T15:43:00.000+11:00

Finally I have finished sorting the last of the boxes.After seeing Nats cube storage that she had a while ago I decided I wanted one too.But it just wouldn't fit in my tiny scrap space. It wouldn't fit by 3cm so I went on the hunt for a smaller one and this one just fitted.My husband and eldest son put it all together for me but it has taken a while for me to sort all the boxes out.I love that all the mess is now hidden because as soon as you walk into our house this is what you see.I am thinking of moving the computer out too and just using the laptop because it takes up so much room on the desk. All I have left to do is put the lable holders on the box and label them but I will wait to see if the way I have sorted it works first.

Brotherhood

2009-01-04T00:00:00.001+11:00

I love the basic grey Granola Range.I don't seem to do as many layouts of my boys as I do the girls. But I was digging through my stash ( I was supposed to be sorting the last box) and came across the basic grey Granola that I forgot I had and couldn't resist scrapping it.

2009

2009-01-01T17:57:00.000+11:00

I hope everyone had a great new years eve.We stayed in and watched the fireworks on tv.I decided that the first thing I was going to get done this year was redo my scrap room.It is nearly finished and I will post some pictures as soon as it is.It is such a small space and hard to do much with but my gorgeous husband with the help of my 16 year old has put together some shelving and boxes for me I just have to finish sorting a few more boxes.I got a bit of scrapping done today and will get some pictures of them up tonight too.

Last post for 2008

Xmas Eve

2008-12-29T22:34:00.000+11:00

Christmas Eve we had a turkey dinner and while the turkey was cooking we baked some gingerbread men. I put a big plastic tablecloth down so they could make a mess. Lucky I did cause they had icing everywhere.Typical teenager to cut his gingerbread mans leg off

This kept them all quiet for ages

Before Xmas

2008-12-29T22:28:00.000+11:00

Before xmas Crystal had another concert her xmas one I won't put photos of all her costumes up as I put them up a couple of weeks ago. But I love this one and can't wait to scrap the pics of it.

These are from the mounties carnival we go to every year before xmas.Crystal was actually big enough this year to drive her own car and I can't believe Chloe got in on her own.

Sundays

2008-10-26T21:50:00.000+11:00

bump crash! smash

precious

Sometimes I wish we had never put so many gardens in around our house.Sundays seem to get taken up with yard work.Today we planted some new azalea's where we cut the tree down a few weeks ago.It does look nice but there is never ending weeding to do out there and we are forever trimming.

I still got a layout done today though. I did a layout with the gorgeous urban prairie papers I love basic grey papers. This one is for a scraplift of Janines gorgous layout of Rach at TBSS.

I finished the bump crash smash layout a couple of days ago but didn't get a chance to post it.I used basic grey offbeat love the patterns in those papers perfect for layouts with boys and girls in them.I love these photos of Chloe and Jordan. Jordan is finally starting to understand that Chloe has something wrong with her and has become quite protective of her and spends a lot of time helping her out.The look of pure joy on her face in these photos she was so scared to go on this ride and I am so glad she is finally trying new and different things.She loved it and wanted to keep lining up for another ride.Nearly time for the carnival again only about another 5 weeks.

Tash

2008-10-22T11:54:00.000+11:00

This is a layout I did for the October Photo swap at TBSS. I did this for Nat and used a photo of her gorgeous daughter Tash.

Bad to the bone

2008-10-22T11:23:00.000+11:00

This is a layout I did for this weeks sketch challenge.I used the basic grey Granola range.I love the colours in this range.This is Tyler whenever he has done something wrong he goes and hides in his kennel when u ask him what he has done he can't look at u just like the kids

Some photos I had to share

2008-10-13T20:27:00.001+11:00

Jordan was so excited this morning he started at his new school that he has been waiting to get into.Poor kid had to start high school at a new school made new friends and started to settle in then today he swapped to a new school.But he absolutely loved it and was so happy this afternoon when he got home.
Chloe did not want to pose on this bridge for me just minutes before a brown snake had slithered up the hill behind where they are standing.She's trying to look out the corner of her eye for movement behind her.I tried convincing her that the snake was long gone and it was more scared of us but she wouldn't believe me.
I am sure this is the first time Chloe has ever pulled a cheeky face for a photo I was shocked I am normally lucky to get a smile out of her or just have her look at the camera

New layouts

2008-10-13T20:19:00.000+11:00

Here are a a few layouts I have done recently.I did the make a wish one for a scraplift at TBSS of Anne-Marie I absolutely loved her layout.I also did a layout for my BOM album that we were supposed to get inspiration from Brenda Hurd.The other layout is one of my sketch challenges and have used my newest tear bear an owl on it.

2008-09-14T18:03:00.000+10:00

The layout of my son is his Year 11 school photo I wanted to do a layout that was really boyish.I love that grungeboard.

My Baby layout is my beautiful little girl Chloe when she was a baby.I used the Crate paper Kaitlin range.I love the colours in that range so pretty and girly.The Belle Fleur flowers are a perfect match for that paper range and I love those gorgeous prima swirls.The crate paper, prima swirls and belle fleur flowers are available at TBSS.
