Argh!

This layout is about the things that make me cross! I think it is important to scrap all aspects of my life, not just the positive things, so this layout lists ten things that make me "Argh!". This is a free digital kit by Rhonna Farrer from 2 peas...you can find it HERE.

Freddo Cake Tradition

Breezy just HAS to have a Freddo Icecream Cake every year. I've scrapped it digitally because I am waiting to see how many years she has one before I do it in paper....hope that isn't too long.


This kit is by Isabelle Cyr.

One Little Word for 2008

As a lot of you would already know, in the scrapbooking industry there is a bit of a craze going around that started by Ali Edwards about 'One Little Word'. Instead of making a list of New Years resolutions, you pick one word that encompasses what you want to achieve personally for the year. Mine is Transform. I want this year to be a year that I am transformed even more as a Christian. I want to grow closer to God by reading His Word and spending more time with him...daily.
I also want to transform my priorities...to live every day the way God wants me to and not to waste time on things that aren't important...to put things in the right order..iykwim.
So here is my layout about it.

My semi-word is Praise. I want to praise my children more, encourage others more and Praise my Lord more for the things He is doing in my life.

First Layout for the Year

I did this layout while at a scrap arvo/night with Lissa and Karen....we were scrapping for about 5 hours and this layout is all I got done...don't you hate those nights!

Here is round 5 for the Scrap of Faith circle journal I am participating in. It is for Gennie's album.

More holiday layouts....

I was able to do 4 more layouts last night. There's not much to do in an imaculate house you are house sitting and the kids are in bed....so scrapping it was!

This first layout is of when Bree was born (nearly 7 years ago). It is for Ashlee's album. i'm definitely going to buy more MM note worthy papers.
These photos are of my brother-in-law competing in the Busselton half iron man in May. We were holidaying there for our 11th anniversary and they happened to be there at the same time.
This is Ashlee at 7 months old. It's been good to finally start to wade through all my old photos. I don't know what I'll do when i do catch up and have no photos to scrap though!

And this is a photo I took when we were living at the farm in 2005. It was a foggy morning. I just love this photo.

Holiday Layouts so far...

I was able to fit all my scrap stash in the car so I can scrap to my heart content on my holiday. Last night I had Karen and Lissa over and I was able to get one layout finished. The photos were taken 10 years ago back in 97 when Tayla was only 6 months old.

This one is also 10 years ago when Tayla was born....look how young I am (19). I have already scrapped these photos for our family album but I wanted one for Tayla's album too.

And here is Tayla this year with her Daddy. Love these photos.

And here is my layout about this Christmas. I was unable to edit my photos because the computer I am on doesn't have any editing programs so the photos are a bit dark...oh well.

Hopefully I can get some more layouts done in the next week. Hope you are all having a great holiday...

Scrappin' at Work

Today I had to take the girls to work with me so they scrapbooked while I worked. I had a couple of quiet hours in the arvo so I got a page done too. Here are our creations.
This first one is a layout I did of Ashlee.
This is Tayla's wafer stick tin she covered for her money box.
Here is Ashlee's paper mache CD box she covered to give to her teacher. Ash also made a canvas of herself for Murray and my Christmas pressie but it is already wrapped and I'm not allowed to read it.
And Bree's little paper mache book she covered for her teacher.

So proud of my kidlets...they did a great job.
