Hi there
I have just finished a double LO of my beautiful little boy Hamish when he was 3 days old. This LO highlights one of the things that I love about scrapbooking. It really creates momentos for us all to look back on in years to come. Hamish is nearly 18 months old now and when I was doing this LO I couldn't believe how much he has grown! He was so small and now he is a very busy and robust little boy. The time really does fly, especially when everyone is so busy. It will be nice in years to come for him to look back and see how much he has grown!
Happy scrapping,

Hi there
After having a bit more of a play around with the Kaisercraft "Toot Toot" papers and embellishments I came up with the single page LO "1st wheels". This layout is of my son who broke his leg and was in a wheelchair for 6 weeks. Although I am not a fan of my own handwriting, I feel it is very important to include journalling about the stories behind the photos. In the past I have used Microsoft Word to record my journalling and then printed this off. I don't do that as much anymore as handwriting does make the LO more personal and it is another momento for future generations to observe. It is a lot quicker as well!!!

Hi
I have just completed a single page LO from my DT package (I know amazing, considering it is school holidays!!!) It is using the "toot toot" range from Kaisercraft and I've also used a crane chipboard cut out that was also in the package. I love the colours of this range, they can be either brightened up or muted down, depending on what you put them with. As you can see I have used a lot of earthy colours as the photo in the LO shows my son playing with wooden offcuts, but to brighten it a little bit I have used red for the photos border and the title.

Hi,
I have just received my new DT pack from Hobbysew and can't wait to have a play around with it. It is made up of papers and embellishments from Kaisercrafts new range "Little Toot". Seeing as though I have two boys I don't think it will be too difficult to find some photos to go with this range! Stay tuned to see what the end result is.....

Hi,
I have been a bit slack with the scrapping lately, life sometimes gets in the way!! The first LO called Harrietville has been on my desk for two weeks, and I would get a little bit done at a time! It is a little bit different to my usually style but I had some cricut cartridges that I had been itching to use and this LO was calling for them!! This type of LO is great for using up those scraps of paper that accumulate (and therefore a great excuse to buy more supplies!!)
The second LO is called "smiling" and has been made using the "ad Lib" range from Bo Bunny. I love this range, it is so adaptable. Before finishing this LO I sprayed it with Tsukineko walnut ink antiquing solution which was very easy to use and looked great (Note to self: make sure you do this on a blank desk, "Harrietville" LO received an unintentional light spray as well!!!)

I have just completed two very similar themed LO's. They have a common theme of wheels. One is about a stage production of Thomas the Tank engine that my husband and son went to. I have included in this LO the actual tickets as I think it adds to the LO and is also a way of showing information such as where, and when in a decorative way!!
The second LO is about my sons love of the "cars" movie and all the merchandise that went with it. When he was 3 he could not get enough of anything to do with "cars". I think it is important to scrap the big events in life, but also the everyday things. This LO shows the everyday things that show my son what he was like at that age, and the things that he loved to do! In the future I hope that he enjoys looking back and seeing the things that he loved at different ages!

Hi
I have been a bit slack lately with my scrapbooking. Sometimes you can get heaps done and sometimes not much at all. One of the things that I love about scrapbooking is that it is always there for you whenever you are ready, what ever time of the day or night, when inspiration hits!! This layout is called "bum shuffling" and is of my little girl. She never crawled but instead would shuffle along on her bottom!! It was very cute, although it would lead to a lot of dirty pants!!! The papers that I have used are from the "Hey Birdie" collection from Kaisercraft. It is a gorgeous range, very whimsical.
Happy scrapping,
