Get Picky May Sketch :)

LOVE the sketch, so easy to work with and this month we have been sponsered by a fantastic company Scrapmatts I've used the cogs as masks and then cut them up and added as a few accents. The kite and also the black thing (which is a cut up frame) is also from there :)

Your Best Friend - Charlotte and her current little best friend, I can see these two growing up being very competitive together, both sporty and both very acedemic. Hopefully it'll be friendly competition

Get Picky

welllll and you thought I was going, there will be a few layouts pop up periodically over the next month, but it's DT commitments I've already completed :) hope you enjoy them

Get Picky April Inspiration

Fantastic colour challenge of blue, yellow and white :) somehow mine has ended up a little more vibrant then originally planned but oh well

The Boy is Mine - photos of Adam the day he turned one..... wow, nearly two months ago now. Time flies huh, loving simple arty style. Little messy but fun too. After having so much focus on paper I'm glad to not have to scrap with it ;) also playing with my watercolour crayons, woohoooooooo love them, oh and of course paint.....

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.

In One Year

a Get Picky Layout for the March Inspiration

In 1 Year - it's suprising how much can change, how much you took for granted can be taken away, how much you learn and you grow. These two photos were taken ONE YEAR apart. Me being 40 weeks and 1 day pregnant and Adam being 8 days from turning ONE. Yep he baked for a long time ;) Mixing up a bit of Prima, SRM Stickers and AC Thickers. This is an awesome prompt and you should stop by and check it out.

Get Picky - March Sketch

Wow these posts come around so quickly :)

New Sketch is up at Get Picky.

Make sure you stop by the blog and check out what the other girls came up with.

This month we were lucky enough to be sponsered by SRM Stickers, if you haven't checked these little beauties out then you don't know what you're missing. They are so easy to use. Can't wait to get stuck into some more for the inspiration challenge :)

11 Months - I've used a CUTE but older range by My Minds Eye for this, this obviously was done to record Adam at 11 Months. I love that cheeky little smile of his.... I kept this very very basic as I really wanted to keep the focus on the photos.

Thanks for stopping by

Get Picky - Feb

Well the end of February has come and gone, ekkk and I still haven’t shown my Feb Inspiration example for Get Picky.

Our Day – Our wedding day, almost 7 years ago now. So hard to believe as it’s gone so fast. Beautiful photo to take inspiration from this month, you need to go and check it out. Also a HUGE shout out to Pink Paislee for sponsoring the DT. We were incredibly lucky to receive such a gorgeous pack to use.

Get Picky, Feb Sketch

The February Sketch at Get Picky went live on Tuesday, such a fun sketch which you should all try ;)

We were very very lucky to be sponsered by Pink Paislee this month :) :) :) so fabulous for me cause I love Pink Paislee and to top it off both Tanya and I had our Get Picky Layouts showcased on the Pink Paislee blog

Girls Day - Charlotte and I had a day out, just us, no boys allowed, its something that rarely happens and something we both enjoy. Girly shopping, cappas, cupcakes, all fun things to do with my baby girl. I added a few other bits and pieces on this, some Prima flowers and Tattered Angels Glimmer Glaze, such a fun product.

thanks for taking a peek

Get Picky and my 700th post

What a way to celebrate my 700th post than with the next GET PICKY challenge. Fantastic inspiration this month :) You need to go check it out and see the totally fantastic unique takes on this from the DT

Always - I didn't get any further than the title of the song for my inspiration, as soon as I saw what it was I knew straight away I had to do this about my cousin Darren, he was killed in an accident over 7 years ago at age 13. It was the worst call that I have recieved while at work. This photo is of him at age 6 while we were all on holidays down at my grandparents. He was a crazy talented artist, FUNNY, insanely clever and he would have grown into a top bloke. This Febuary he would have turned 21.

His death, turned our whole family upside down and inside out. An event that you would think would bring us closer together drew us all apart. So many members don't speak. It's totally sad........

This first started out as a very simple LO, was just going for a painted background and a few bits of paper, well it ended up more detailed, arty and fun than I imagined, I do like the ones that get away on you. A fantastic mish mash of product, some Sass, Prima, Websters, My Little Bit Of Whimsy all thrown together. Don't you love it????

So go take part and play along :)

Thanks for stopping by

what to share, what to share

As I'm typing this I really should be creating, but instead I'm trying to blog, lol and listening to the wind outside, sounds nasty.

Trying to remember what I have to share and what I dont, hmmmm, right now its not much

Flat Out - This was a Creative Scrappers sketch nearly 2 weeks ago now, OMG I am slack :( using the AWESOME Little Boy papers from Echo Park, they now have Little Girl too, I'm waiting for it to wing its way over now :) gosh I LOVE ANNA. Anyway this was a fun sketch, pretty much kept with it. All about Dea and his full on, flat out pace.

Miss Paige - this is the current Get Picky Challenge, fantastic sketch :) you really need to give it a go. This is all about Charlotte's best friend Paige, they are starting school together on Monday, ekkkkk. two little school girls. She is incredibly shy (wouldn't think so by these photos) but it's taken a long time for her to warm up to me and actually talk. Has the most gorgeous red curly hair and stunning eyes too. I can see her and Charlotte getting up to quiet a bit of mischief over the years ;) Using some fantastic bits and pieces from Prima, totally LOVE that iron on.

Right now that is it.

Here's hoping I have something to show over the next few days :)

Get Picky

Awesome awesome awesome inspiration photo for the December Inspriation Challenge at Get Picky 

I went far away from the christmas theme and did my own thing ;) now does that surprise you much. lol

No More - I think Adam is truely over having the camera in his face. Most photos of him now he's crawling away, or not looking anywhere near me. Used a few of the older ranges of Websters for this one. LOVE that aquaish paper in the background. the colour is perfect. I'm thinking that I have a banner obsession of late too. hehe.  

Materials: Card: Bazzill; Paper: Websters Pages; Other: Websters pages stickers, American Crafts thickers, Tim Holtz tape, Pink Paislee tickets, string, staples, pen.

Thanks for stopping by, I do hope you check out the challenge and have a go

What Can I Share????

Only realised that I'm so behind in sharing a few layouts, hehehehe and here I was thinking that I had nothing to blog about. Oops

(Un)Happy Birthday - Poor Dea was just miserable when we had a birthday party for him. Using the AWESOME Pink Paislee Parisian Anthology. These papers are right up there as a favourite for me. So versatile. I created this for my first Step by Step for Annas

Weird Crazy Kids - Creative Scrappers Sketch 134. Using the fantastic My Minds Eye Fine and Dandy range. This was part of my DT Kit again from Annas. We took a few Christmas photos after we decorated our tree, way back on the 1st December. Well the kids were high on candy canes and went CRAZY. Was fun and I love the shots that I did get.

It's A Love Thang - Wow I really am behind, this was the Get Picky challenge for the end of last month. I actually made the biggest mistake on this but you wouldn't know. It started off just being the large photo of Charlotte. Hmmmm makes a lot of sense right, going a challenge for a MULTI photo site and I'm using one photo. Lucky I was able to print off a few smaller photos and adhere them to the bottom of the larger photo. hehehehehe. You do still have time to enter into this challenge too. Most beautiful Bo Bunny papers and Embellies.

Crazy Love - Another of my DT projects for Annas and again using the AWESOME Bo Bunny. It's hard to believe that these photos were taken back in July. How much the kids have grown up. Can't believe in a years time I'll be getting Zac ready for school.

FINALLY

So In Love - Right from the moment they met him they have been smothering Adam with hugs and kisses. Very lucky that I got this photo. Beautiful papers from American Crafts. Plus the most glorious embellies. SIGH.

I think that is all for the moment. I know I have other things to share but I don't want to ramble on and on ;)

Thanks for stopping by

Nic
