Scrapping away my Holidays

Just wanted to share a few LO's that I have done in the past few days.It is so nice to have the time to sit and think, and take sometime to scrap instead of rushing it.I have really been cherishing the last few days.The boys and I have been sleeping in and snuggling together every morning....so nice and I reckon they like it too, cause they keep coming back, like a bad smell...LOL.

The first one is a DT LO,

This is my second DT LO, trying my hand at Monochromatic.It was scary,as I had never tried one before.I really like how it has turned out though.Might have to do another soon.

Then this one is using a piece of CS that I made into a piece of patterned paper using paint, and bubble wrap.While we were away last week at the beach, I got the perfect photo of my little man.He is growing up before my eyes.

While I was away, I was awarded an I LOVE YOUR BLOG AWARD, by 3 gorgeous ladies Julie Schmitt, Ros Madley, and the lovely Chloe Schmitt.

I am apparently supposed to pass this award onto 7 of my favourite blogs, but I don't think I have that many that haven't received an award already, but here goes

1. Is my Mum, who has always been there for me and supports and encourages me in everything I do.She has been a wonderful Mum, and is now a much loved Grandma too.Love you heaps Mum.Not to mention, that if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be scrapping.xxoo

2.Is good friend Melanie Baldry Whom I got to know when she became DT at Scrap-pile last year.We met in June this year, and have been firm friends ever since.She is passionate about scrapping and cardmaking and I can't wait till November, when she comes up here to visit--hugs Mel.xxxooo
