busy busy busy

But not with scrap booking ...lol....i have had our eldest daughter, Son in law and their 3 handsome boys visiting for 10 days ...will post pics later ....man i am having fun =) with the little fellas

but on the scrapping front this is my take on the monthly sketch challenge at scrapbook capital ....i am a bit disappointed that i could not ...no matter what angle or the different location could i give this lay out full justice with a pic ....the velvet ribbon is the same hot pink as the cardstock....the black and crystal beads are so shimmery ..and you can hardly see the word adore .....but oh well i was trying to have an abstract arty feel to this lay out .....but i have to say i love the sketch lay out ...and i will be using it again ....my strips say ....BE YOURSELF AND THE WORLD WILL SPIN AROUND YOU

this is my BIU #2 WK3 for a comp at scrapbook capital....requirements where patterned paper, distressing, and punched out or cut out embellies

These next 2 lay outs are from my D.T. Kit .....they include the new basic Grey pp range i have used basic Grey "wisteria" pp, Kraisercraft rhinestones butterfly, PRIMA SAY IT IN PEARLS ...SWIRLS...CODE 5 ...WHITE,AUTUMN LEAVES CLEAR STAMP...SUN... and KAISER PAPER FLOWERS...SNOW...TFL

i have used pp from the basic Grey Wisteria range, Basic Grey rhinestone 'wheatgrass'..and Kaiser craft fozz fontz ... i just love this one ...TFL

have use 3 pp from the from the Kraiser Craft "sweets"and fozz felt "butterfly" i have also used one KAISER RHINESTONE FLOURISHES....FLOWER CORNER...and just cut it with my craft knife

This is my take on the Cyber crop challenge set by Janet, it was to do a pic about a mum/ mum figure ....and NO FLOWERS .....wtf!!!....I NEARLY FAINTED WHEN I READ THIS .....but i did get my mojo around it ...and i enjoyed how it turned out =)

this is my take on her second challenge ....was A4, black and white pic, and what influence being a mum or from a mum has had on your life .....my journaling reads ....

you make me smile, like i never knew i could. i have cried for you, i worry so deeply about your souls, You make me laugh so loudly the rest of the world becomes non existent. you warmed my heart with pride which fails to be matched. you are my favourite past time, i love you all so insanely and deeply, there maybe times during life where your choices disappoint me, but this will not adjust the standard of unconditional love that you all have. No matter the future brings you, there will always be room in my bed for a hug, a meal on the table to keep you healthy, a free taxi to get you home safely no matter how far or how late the hour, always a wet washer to wipe you down and rub your tummy when you're sick, the phone will always be ready to hear your voices, i will always have a shoulder for you to cry on. Love to the moon and back. Mum.

thanks for looking......i hope you have good karma till next time my cyber sistas .....
