Two more layouts

Last night I was able to get some scrapping done, it felt great to get three layouts almost completed.   Two are done, one has to have one more detail added to it.

The evening started with a trip to Scrapbooks Etc, at Underwood.   Boy I love this place, the paper selection is just fabulous.  One shop that is well worth the trip too, you will not be disappointed.

One thing that I actually managed to do was plan my layouts before I went out.  Bought a couple of papers and some completed pages.

 A stunning photo of my eldest Daughter Katie.  This photo was taken by a friend of ours at our place.  Did I doodle the letters - no way.  A clear stamp set.  I have used this one a lot now.  The size is just right and did fill in the space that I had. 















Another lovely layout featuring my youngest daughter Claire.   Whenever the camera is out she is more than willing to pose.  Again this photo was taken by a friend of ours who took the photo of her sister in the other layout.   It wasn't until I was blogging that there are two layouts of Claire that have the title of beautiful.    Maybe I am just biased,  But this girl does love the camera.










Hopefully I can get the third layout finished.  This could be the first time I have scrapped the Santa photo within days of it being done.  I do have another one of the girls talking to Santa while I was deciding which one I wanted to have printed.

A couple of Layouts

Today I headed off to the Scrapchat retreat as a day-tripper.  Only decided on Monday that I needed to get away and do some scrappin' with no interupptions.  Only one phone call while I was out and that was to find out where I had hidden a DS.

I only managed to get two Layouts done, and was dissapointed that I had left a batch of photos at home.  These were the ones I wanted to do.  I had a feeling that one daughter would be upset that I hadn't done one of her, and I was right.  But I did manage to get the paper I wanted for the photo which was good.

I will update these photos with a better quality one taken during the daytime.  Will try and get it done soon.  On Sunday we are heading to the Animal Shelter to look at a pet.  It has been over 2 years since our cat went missing.  Time for the girls to have another pet.

Claire's first school excursion to Currumbin Valley Farm. 
June 2009 approximately. 

Claire at Paradise Point Park, August 2009.
Always willing to let Mum take her photo.
Such a beautiful girl.









15 November - updated the photos.  Not as blurry.  Looked at the Animal Shelter, and it looks like we might be getting two kittens.  Will have to get the girls to write to Santa.

I've done a layout

Miracles can happen and this is one. Earlier this week I recevied the photo that was taken during my photography class at the Scrapbook Expo in June 2009. This is the first time I have actually done a photo of just Me. Generally I am with the girls or it is a family shot or I am where I would rather be, behind the lens.

I love the simplicity of this, the colours are just amazing, so many possibilities. Now to do some more layouts along with an art journal or five, some ATC's, some tags and perhaps other stuff that is not crafty at all.

Thia is possibly the 4th layout this year. There are a few that do require finishing so I should get onto that as well.

Beautiful Katie

In April I was asked to teach a class using Perfect Pearls. I also had to do a layout using them. Thankfully I had the photos already. These are two of my favourite photos from 2008 of my daughter Katie. What I love about these is that they were both taken on my mobile phone. This layout had at least 4 different ways of using perfect pearls. My favourite is mixing it and making my own little bottles of glimmer mist.
