Long Time in Between Posts...

Well in the last 2 weeks our car has driven to Sydney twice, Albury twice, Wagga, Leeton and Coolamon.We have one more left to do which is to Canberra on Sunday. Kayley finished in the top 2 for our region for swimming in both butterfly and breaststroke events. So Brophy here we come. She is looking forward to also swimming in the relay events too - this time not swimming against the girls she has been swimming at carnivals but with them instead.

So i can show a layout i completed for Stuck. Sara's sketch was great to work with and so fun.

Here is my layout based on the sketch.

Did you spot the Purple Pumpkin embellishments??? The little bumble bee buttons are so cute and i love the leather hearts which are bright but you can also doodle on them too.

I have also been busy creating for Scrapmatts. Our theme this month was boys/men in our life. Well having 3 girls, this was a bit daunting at first but i am lucky enough to have my best friend to take photo's of her son.
