Hattie Layout 3 & 4

I made this for the MME challenge, but I was a little late to enter. I was a little broken, but seeing I love the page I will just try again next challenge.

I think I will change the writing on it so it isn't black though. I can think of so many other colours, but I was feeling a little lazy and didn't want to cuttlebug it.

Supplies Used: Paper - My Mind Eye "Stella & Rose - Hattie" Alphas - October Afternoon - Thift Shop Mini Alphas, AC Thickers Embellishments and Other - All embellishments are MME Stella & Rose - Hattie Collection
 
 
This page I wasn't so sure of, but it worked out great (for me). I never seem to have much luck with dominant yellow pages, but this just seemed to work for me. Maybe because I love this photo and the temper tantrum behind it. Rhys decided to suck on one of my leaking pens after I specifically told not to. When I asked him if he sucked on it, he started having outburst swearing that he never did it. Even after I showed him the photos he said he never did it, and needed more proof that he did.

Just Fooling Around

This page was so much fun to create, I love the colours and it suited the photo my son took of him and his brother. It is another MME page, for some reason their paper has my creative juices flowing at the moment.

Hattie Layout #2

Here is another layout I have done in the MME Hattie Collection. It is definitely a favorite at the moment.

I just love this photo, it was taken the day I brought my second child home from the hospital. Rhys my oldest was so happy he wanted photos straight away.

Hattie Layout #1

I plan on doing a lot of layouts in this paper. This just can together so easy, and another is on it's way at the moment. I do love MME paper, it has such nice texture and thickness to it. It just a shame that all paper doesn't come in this quality.

WooHoo Finally Finished

Working with Cambridge

I seem to be on a roll lately, but I am starting to feel the urge to take a large break (for like a week). This paper I thought would be fantastic, but I struggled to come up with something I actually liked. I am sure I can get another page out of it, I think I will just leave it for a little bit until I see a photo that screams Cambridge.

This photo was taken by my son, who was very suborn in taking it on his own.

Sketchy Thursday's Challenge

Here is another entry for the Sketchy Thursdays March Challenge. I really like the sketch so I thought I would do another from it. This was taken when my son woke up with an tooth abscess. His whole face seemed to swell up. I took these to show his dad what had happened.

My Learning Curve

I had this finished last week, but I had to get the photo to go with it. Well not so much get, but scan and print the original. This is a nice simple layout that I enjoyed putting together. The apple in the left hand top corner was handmade from the papers in the collection.

I didn't think I would scrap the school photo's, but when I saw this range it was an instant mind changer. I am actually looking forward to this years photo's.

MME Hattie

This collection is yummy, with so much potential and my paper arrived yesterday. I feel the need to create, but after I finish my current work in progress.

Water Baby

There is just something about Pink Paislee's "Queen Bee"Collection that just makes me keep going back to it. This is a simple layout, but I am happy with how it turned out. Like a few of my pages the journalling to this page is on the rear, I just didn't want to add it (yet).

You never know I may feel the need to add something. Suggestions are welcome.




Supplies Used: Paper - Pink Paislee "Queen Bee" Alphas - BG Oliver Mini Alpha's Embellishments and Other - All embellishments are Pink Paislee Queen Bee

Little Chicken

Another layout done with the BG Oliver Collection. I still think I cn do a few more before I retire this collection and move onto something different. I have started another growth chart for my oldest son, it is made from the BG Wander Collection (his choice).

With this layout I added a little paint around the center paper, just to add a little red break on the background.

Oliver Growth Chart

I got this pattern from Laura Denison and just had to make it for my son, It is made from the BG - Oliver Collection. It took me about 12 hours from start to finish and I found it so much fun to create and decorate.

I still need to make one more for my oldest son.









I willl try and get a photo of it hanging, but it is rather long and may not be very visual.

Oliver Oh Oliver

I have fallen for the BG Oliver Collection, I saw it awhile ago and thought nothing of it, but over time I have come to see so much potential with this range. I have done two projects so far, and my head is spinning with so many more.

It's a shame I don't have girls, I love the Olivia Collection as well.

This my entry for Sketchy Thursdays Guest Designers Challenge

Butterfly Mini - Almost Done

Well Deni this is what I have done so far. It still needs the feelers and a few more embelishments, but other than that it is done. I am planning on putting my parents wedding photo's in it.

I think it came out more like a moth than a butterfly but I am sooo happy with the results so far.
