Play/Swing????

really what's the difference ;)

The first Get Picky challenge is up for April and it's a fantasit sketch. Pop by and see what the AWESOME DT has done

Play - I didn't have the letters to write swing so Play is going to have to do. Photos of Char. Love the boots and the skirt combo. Too cute. Used some more of the gorgeous Jillibean Soup from Annas.

Jillibean Soup, stirring up YUM

Lets start off with some cards.

Yes do not fall over, I MADE cards

Using some Core'dinations and Jillibean Soup from my Annas Kit this month, so if you are looking for any of these products just pop over there ;)

Technically Bad - The photo might be, but I love it. As for the layout, well it took forever for me to punch those strips. Again all the products on here can be found at Anna's (lace included) and again my handmade flowers. Loving them so much right now. Doesn't help that they are so easy to make too.

oh and should I mention HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!!

I'm in town spending too much money on myself. lol

hmmm, ummm, I forget????

I was so excited to see that Anna had sent me some Echo Park - For the Record this month to play with. I've loved this line since I first saw the sneaks. Fabulous vintage inspired prints and colours which actually screamed girly to me.... lol, in typical fashion I scrapped my boys instead.

My Middle Man - There isn't much I can say about Dea that I haven't actually said in the past month or so. He is really different to Zac and to Adam too. He is different in looks, he is different in attitude, he is very different in many ways. Suppose that's what comes with being the one in the middle.

Deacon - Pretty self explanatory right now.

Truck Boy - Adam and his truck. lol. I would LOVE to buy the really huge Tonka truck but when it's $80 I just don't see the value in it. Especially when the other two boys would want one too. This is actually based on a Pencillines sketch from a few weeks back.

What do you get when.......

you cross some Prima with some Websters????

Well for starters a fun layout for White With 1

and after that something a little arty, little distressed, little loved.

Dude - Dea had this weird obsession with Zac's gumboots at the end of last year. Would walk around carrying them for ages and even sit and play with them, BUT never ever wear them. Some Websters paper and Prima embellishments, I especially love that mask :) oh and the new (mist).a.bles, going to invest in a few more of those if you want to know where mine came from just check out Annas some of this is out of my new DT kit ;)

Cutesy stuff this My Little Shoebox

In amongst my DT Pack was the Home Tweet Home range from My Little Shoebox. It's so cutesy, with sweet little branches and birds. Very fantastic for cutting out :)

Almost 9 Years of Us - Photo by Ali Russell... pretty much enough said in the title. This April Luke and I will celebrate 9 years together and 7 years married. SCARY....  

My School Girl - So sweet, so cute and still looks too small. Does have a big attitude though. I can see so many changes in Charlotte since she has started school. While she had all the basics before starting she has really responded well. LOVES writing and can usually spell any word she wants to correctly. She is really into sounding out and is getting the whole idea of blending sounds.

Thanks for popping by

I love Bo Bunny Ad Lib

I was so excited to get this FANTASTIC collection from Anna this month.

It's one of the new CHA releases from Bo Bunny - Ad Lib. So bright so fun and PERFECT for little boys. These layouts are all fairly simple as I wanted to keep the focus on the papers. With these fantastic colours you don't want to add much to them anyway.

Dirty Attitude - I was going to do a layout using these photos all about how Dea is always dirty and into anything that is dirty. The night I started this Dea had been in the foulest of moods all day. Unfortunately it's not a once a week thing it's an EVERY DAY thing. He will non stop scream, cry and generally carry on for upto an hour at a time if he doesn't get his own way. It's really starting to drive me crazy.

Why? - oh bugger, there's a theme happening here. Everyday moment with Zac is him getting angry, throwing things, clentching his fists, stomping. Luckily he's over it fairly quickly. Again though it's driving me balmy as to WHY he is like this. I'm going to start eliminating foods from their diets, not that we eat much crap anyway but who knows.

One Today - Ahhhhh, a few photos from Adams slap up birthday party. Last minute decision to have a little party for him, was just us. I think he loved it though, and he really got into the cake. Was mesmerised by the candle to start off with and then when he was swipping it he ended up with icing on his finger and after that well it was cake for one and all.  

Well that's enough from me for the time being.

I'm off to finish off my DT layout for The Color Room

xx

Stuck? - Hmmm I think NOT

I've been letting the kids 'design' backgrounds for me, this is one of Charlottes, she loves my mists (girl is not like her mummy, lol) You will get to see what Zac has done soonish..... his background is a few weeks old and I've only gotten around to using it. Anyway the kids like playing, I like playing and I'm going to have a whole heap of unique backgrounds to play with.

The Adam Shuffle - This is based on the Stuck?! Sketches March 1st sketch. I used the end of my Sass stash from my March DT kit from Annas. I managed 4 layouts from 3 pieces of paper and a sheet of stickers :) good work on my part I think ;) lol.

Anyways, Adam first took a few steps at 9 months, we really thought we would have been walking by 10 months but no, still now at 12 months he won't take anymore than 2 steps at a time (unless he is holding something) it's funny to see him stand cause he does this little shuffle like he's trying to walk but is getting no where.

Thanks for stopping by

Anna Showcase

Be warned extra extra long post

I was lucky enough to receive all the Kaiser Bubblegum Hill collection last month from Anna. Had so much fun with it and ended up creating the following layouts. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the backsides of the paper so most are using that. So if you are like me and love that simple print, head over to the shop and stock up. Plus it’s friendship/easter themed so perfect for whats around the corner too.

Girl – Just my gorgeous one and only.

Me You Us – Me and Mum.... nuf said right

The Greatest Gift – LOVE our family photos, love that they are so natural.

Growing Up is Not and Option – Yes he is not allowed to grow up. It’s not fair that he is one already where has that time gone.

Yum – Zac two years ago. Chocolate for breakfast, yum.

The Things I Love – just some more on Charlotte, love the little journaling tags in this collection.

Your Bunny Basket – Glorious diecut. Again this photo is 2-3 years old. I think Charlotte was 2 turning 3 when she made this. So a very long time ago. I can still see her face and how proud she was.

These following layouts are the ones I did for my step by step last month. I went for something different, two super simple layouts. I know people are always asking how to do simple. It’s not hard and it’s not always boring either. Used the fabulous Bo Bunny Olivia for these, while it’s such a girly range, it can be made a little boyish with those colours

Follow Me – Zac wanted to keep going and going, to see how far up the dolphins would swim.

Crazy Us – sometimes we are a little silly and crazy. Suppose we have to be to survive some days.

And finally I’ve gotten stuck into my DT kit this month, sooooo full of beautiful fun product J yay

These three are using the Sass Paper Crush, OMG beautiful colours and designs on these papers. So in love

The Last – The last little tiny pair of baby feet to grace my little family. They are growing up to fast and I wish they would slow down.

Excited – the look on Charlottes face when I let her open this up was priceless, we’ve been looking for a pretty twirly skirt for so long and this one was perfect. It gets worn a bit, not just for special occasions now either. I created this one for the Sass challenge too, have you seen it VERY COOL

Be Mine – Zac looks a little sad in this photo but the sentiment behind his gesture was perfect. While we went shopping on Valentine’s Day he saw these chocolate roses and asked if he could buy one for Charlotte because she was at school. How caring is that.
