Mothers day 2009

I created this layout for the continous challenge at chook scraps. I started a tradition a number of years a go, which is to have my photo taken with the children on mother's day. I am now wondering how many much longer it will be before I am the shortest in the photo!



I have not had a lot of time for scrapping lately as the boys football has ruled our lives. Both boys Gullies teams have gotten off to a good start for the season and the Norwood under 16's are playing in the grandfinal on Sunday morning. Taylor has also been busy as she has started work at Baker's Delight and is really enjoying it.

ANZAC Day 2009

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them.



Lest We Forget.

Chookscraps idol 2009

Choock scraps idol is now up to round 4 and the gallery is looking fantastic.

These are the four enteries I have completed so far, only 9 more rounds to go.


Round 4 - Solo's

For this round we were required to scrap a layout about ourselves. We had to include a picture of ourself, use lace, layers and a transparency.
Round 3 - Songs of praise
For this round we were required to scraplift another members layout. I choose to scraplift Kathy's "Life is great" layout.

Round 2 - Rock concert

For this round we were required to use a larger photo, lots of bold colour, distressing and a ticket.

Round 1 - Theme songs

We had to create a layout showcasing our everyday life and we were required to have numbers, a clock and a found item (something from our homes that is not to do with scrapbooking) onour layouts.

Check him out.......

Hamish has been bugging me for ages to have steaks put in his hair.....so today was the big day!!!!

Yep he loves using the hair products as well!!!!

A couple more layouts to share

A couple more enteries for the monthly competitions at chook scraps this months.

The first layout features Brandon in a trial game for Norwood, which took place earlier today.


Whose else but the precious princess Milo....

A few recent layouts

This first layout is based on a page maps sketch and it is for Ingeborg's comp at Heaven-Sent this month.
This layout is also for on eof the monthly comps at Heaven-Sent. Brigitte asked that we use a shap for the photo. I struggled with this concept and I predominately use squares and rectangles...so I got around it by placing the photo in a circle.

The photos used in these two layouts were taken last weekend at the first trial game for Norwood.

This next layout is a one of the monthly challenges from chook scraps and we were asked to use the quote "take my breath away" .....could not resist using the ice bath shots....

This layout is also for the chook scraps monthly challenge. We had to use a photo that we had lying around for awhile. As I tend to only print as I need I don't have that many photos lying around.

Another layout for the challenges at Chook scraps. A number of us recently particpated in a lace swap so we were asked to use lace on this layout.

I am surviving the "l's"....he is now asking to drive just about everywhere....so far we have not had any heart palpitations, cross words etc...seriously he has done very well.

Take care.

Karen

He's on his L's.....

Watch out world Brandon is now driving....He obtained his learners permit today and we have been out for a drive around the neighbour hood. Both the car and I came home in one without dents, dings or stress.....Seriously he did really well.
