2nd challenge with Taryn

Today taryn and I have our second photo challenge to share. We have used the same set of photos of both our son's but created totally different layouts..

Absolutely love this new butterfly punch from Martha Stewart, and the new Basic Grey pps, that doiley is from here

A simple and quick layout. Be sure to head over to taryns blog to check out her example and leave her some love. (Sorry about the colours in the photos, just couldn't get the camera to work for me)

Till next time...

froggies are definitely in...

Yep...butterflies are out and froggies are in !! giggle giggle, no not really but I borrowed this super cute little frog punch on the weekend and thought they went perfectly with my new lilredrocket buttons I received from Michelle to play with.

I layered the buttons with some fun paper circles that Michelle also has for sale.

Addison at aged 3 definatly thinks he is the boss, we have a hard time convinving him he isn't LOL ! So I created this layout to show him one day when he is older and much wiser!!!!






This second layout tells of Addison's excitment at learning to ride the neighbour's quad bike, he was soooo proud of himself. That apple pin is of course from mylittlebitofwhimsy , the lamp post from 3tailscraft and that gorgeous flashcard from prettylittlestudio thanks to shell for the link.

BTW Shell has had so much success at lilredrocket she has sold out again, be sure to keep checking back for new goodies and some amazing kits she is putting together too.
Till next time...

misting and banners...pure bliss

As promised one of my layouts I did on my day trip away with Taryn ....wanted to do a little experimenting with my two favourites at the moment...misting and banners, love how it turned out, I initially tried to use some stickers I had from Sass but they stuck too much to my background, so I ended up cutting my own banner template out of spare paper and misted away.

The chipboard bracket and digger is from 3tailscraft and that cute little doiley is from here.


There is this fabulous give away here at lilredrocketbuttons
be sure to head on over to take a look.
Till next time...

MMMMM

What would I have done if cloud paper hadn't been invented?
I know you have seen this My Mind Eye cloud paper before but I soooooo love it.

Also love this photo of David and Addison...he is like his daddy's little shadow... love that. Borrowed that new Martha Stewart butterfly punch...delicious

Had a lovely day yesterday with my gorgeous friend Taryn and her mum crafting in her mum's fabulous studio high in the mountains of Maleny..managed 2 layouts will share them soon once I photograph them.

Till next time...

brights

I think I am in love with brights lately. Last night while scrapping I tried to do a layout that had very earthy dull colours, I shuffled for over an hour then finally abandoned it for this. Larsen just loves playing in the cubby outside he would play in it all day if I let him. Love the new apple jack from Sass, some bakers twine and a splash of mist of course.

Do you want to win this awesome prize. Just head on over here and leave a message, Leeann has some fun handmade goodies for sale in her etsy shop.

Till next time...

why is it....

Why is it that some projects turn out completely different from where you first started and your vision...This gorgeous photo of Addison was taken a while ago in our front yard near a spider web and spider, (Disclaimer no kids were hurt in the making of this layout) LOL and I initially wanted to mist over a web that I hand cut out of card stock...well that wasnt doing it for me so I came up with this. I m pretty happy with the result. I have used the last of my lilredrocketbuttons from this month, Thanks Michelle. If you head on over to the store it is brimming with so much fun stuff.

I have used the new apple jack papers from Sass and that coloured doily is from here .That cute little bee pin is from mylittlebitofwhimsy
