This little CAP

I love this cap. The first time I saw it in Pumpkin Patch I wanted it but I didn't want to pay the price for it. So I waited and waited and finally managed to pick it up for under $10 on sale. The boys love it too, Zac has been wearing it to town each time we go in. Thinks he's pretty spiffy ;)

This is my take on the Scrap the Boys April Challenge (huh, APRIL - means it's my birthday soon)

The Cap - As you can guess I was inspired by the cap as my clothing choice. What you can't see though is the red stitching and distressing on the front of the peak. How much do you love that this Sass paper looks almost THE SAME as the cap and I had to include that screw head brad to add a little metal. Used a random mix of stickers and rub ons and messy stitching cause it's a boy layout, they can't have neat stitching (well my boys can't).

You need to go check out the challenge and the other DT examples. all fabulous

Scrap the Boys is BACK!!!!!

Yes you read correctly Scrap the Boys is back, this time we are only having monthly challenges and they are so much fun (trust me I know up until June, hehehehehehehe)

15.2.11 – Such a fun challenge of capturing the moment in time, needed to use numbers or write out the numbers for this month. Every afternoon, we sit, we play, we dance and we wait for Charlotte to come home on the school bus. This was just one of those afternoons. Played around with some Sass on this one.  I don’t think I’ll ever get bored with it ;)

Scrap the Boys - November Take Two

Wow, where's this month going to can't believe its the middle of the month already, time for another SCRAP THE BOYS challenge

It's all about CHIPBOARD, and this girl LOVES chipboard, we were lucky enough to be sponsered by 2Crafty this month so I've incorporated a few pieces into this. I've covered mine in paper and then popped them up on a Helmar Zap Dots, the skull I gave a VERY thick coat of crackle paint and then a little bit of inking :)

Stacked It - Dea loves riding the bikes, and likes to go FAST too. Of course this always ends in a good stack. He's so funny cause he knows that it'll happen but he'll always sit there and whinge afterwards. Crazy little man. October Afternoon papers and stickers again ;) with cute accents. Do you see my rub on, well it didn't want to rub off so I just stapled it in place instead, no waste here.

Materials: Card: Kraft; Paper: October Afternoon; Other: American Crafts thickers, October Afternoon Stickers, Maya road robot and envelope, Cosmo Cricket rub on, pen, brads, masking tape, staples

Little behind here

with showing my Scrap The Boys layout.... Just been so full on and I've hardly had any time to scratch my head. (see the time currently 12.35am) only time I'm getting to do anything right now is LATE at night. Anyway back to the challenge :) The first of the month is all about comics and superheros, something that I'm not that interested in so this was a bit of a crazy LO for me to do, still like the quirky feel of it.

Superhero or Crusty Demon??? - I know what Dea would rather be :) Mash up of some older Prima papers and some thickers.

Materials: Card: Bazzill; Paper: Prima, Darkroom Door; Other: American Craft Thickers, Pen, paint, tape, chipboard, dymo labeller.

Thanks for stopping by

Sweet Side of You - ahhhh, yes while he does have his moment, he can be the sweetest, most gentlest of boys. LOVES his hugs and kisses, has a very fragile side and can be easily upset. Oh I love this little fellow.

soooooooo OVER IT

OMG this cold/flu/virus we all have is a pain in the butt.

Even with Antibotics just doesn't seem to be shaking it

 now Luke has it.... OMG MAN FLU



I'm hoping to do something tonight. Have a couple of things I want to do and a couple of things that NEED to be done.

Just as long as little mister goes down well. Poor Poor bubba is coughing badly :( makes me feel horrible.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Hate being sick




Anyway in other news, have you had a go at the July Kraft It Up challenge, closes on the 31st July and while we are talking about challenges, have you gone and played along with Scrap the Boys yet???

alrighty about it from me.

Bits of this and that

Hey hey

we're gearing up for a fun weekend (hopefully) Luke's racing and I'm lugging all the kids up to watch. THAT's if they are all on the mend in the morning. Dea woke up with a cold on Tuesday and I was thinking that we'd all missed it. Well this morning I woke up feeling crappy, Charlotte woke up the same and Zac went downhill very fast this afternoon. He even asked if he could have a nap..... They've all be into the Dimetapp and panadol, for the temps. Poor little babies. Now I'm just hoping that Adam doesnt have it.

No creating has been happening :( Either too tired or other things keep popping up

I'm going to do a quick update here and go and play. Just waiting for Luke to get home, actually a little worried cause really he should have been back about half an hour ago and he's on his bike. Hit a wallaby the other morning while riding his bike to work. So terribly lucky that he didn't stack it. Now I just get worried about little things like that.

So enough of the blah

Latest LO that I've done
