You need a little 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5

Just a bit of Kraft, some photos, paper, letters and embellies ;)

This is my Kraft it Up take for April

These Feet are Made for Running - (oh and tripping, but that's another story) I'm pretty sure I kept with this challenge. You have to check it out ;) Dea is always running to where ever he wants to go. I don't think he knows what slow down means and his knees know it now. Fallen down the hill twice in the past three days and now is sporting a nice big gash in his knee. Kept this simple, little bit of Cosmo Cricket , little bit of Hambly and some other cute touches ;)

Kraft It Up March

Wow nearly half way through March and I still haven’t shown this. Whoops. Current Kraft It Up challenge. I loved doing this. Awesome saying and for once I wanted to shy away from using kraft as my background, but as the challenge goes, it is there ;)

Greater Gift – I adore the photos that Ali took of my family back in October. I especially adore this one of mum and Charlotte. I’ve had this piece of Sass paper for so long and I was always stumped with what to do with it. Eventually turned it a few times and liked the way it looked like this and worked from there. The worst thing with Sass is that they have such pretty backgrounds that sometimes it’s hard to cover them up.

Kraft It Up - October

Little bit late in getting this up :( stupid downloads

Anyway October's KRAFT IT UP has been up for nearly a week and it's an awesome challenge once again, pop over to check it out and the FANTASTIC DT samples

Mud Princess - Totally my girl :) while it's fun to be all pretty and dressed up it's also FUN to get stuck into the dirt/mud/grease. Using some My Little Shoebox, October Afternoon and American Crafts, I cut the little line and clothes out from one of the MLSB papers, think it's a little fitting considering that week I must have washed every day due to the kids playing in the rain and mud :D

How much do you love the HUGE photos :D

Thanks for popping by

Anything from here Look Familiar???????

It's time to check out KRAFT IT UP for the AUGUST challenge

Num Num Num - Adam loving his tucker. Right from the time Charlotte started eating when I've finished feeding them I've given the kids the spoons to hold onto, sometimes they can make a bit of a mess if there is food left on them but it's so good for their hand/eye coordination. Adam is loving to try and get his spoon in his mouth :)
