Easter bunnies & the Olympics

So, Easter was a little while ago now, since we are in June already {where does the time go?!?!}.  But, with the theme of "In the Kitchen" at Scrapz last week, I thought these were the perfect pics ;-).   We were camping, so this was our camping 'kitchen' ... out in the fresh air ... hehe.

Love the pop of red in this Echo Park range - Note To Self.  {Not the best pic sorry, really struggling with a dodgy camera and dodgy photo editing ATM... grr...)

Soooo .... moving on to the Olympics ... well, the Scrapz Olympiad to be exact!!!

Come along and join in the fun!!  People are signing up already ... you gotta be in it to win it ;-)

I've used the Echo Park This and That Charming range - I love these colours - so boyish!  Perfect for pics of little boys out playing in the dirt :-)

Bucket List

What's on your bucket list?
I thought I would ask my 5 year old daughter.
What did she want to do in her life?
What did she want to do when she was an adult?

This page was for a Scrap A Rainbow challenge at Scrapz.Biz last week.  Did you know they have weekly challenges with a fabulous weekly prize??

 Her bucket list:

All pretty important stuff there ;-)

Loving the Echo Park This and That Graceful collection!!  So so pretty :-).  Scrapz has the new Echo Park in store too!!  ADORE the SWEET DAY range!!  I'm sure it will sell fast ;-) ...

Thanks for visiting!  Have a great week :-)

I love...

...this little boy :-)

I also love Echo Park and this range Note to Self is perfect for boy pages!  I've used this range for a couple of my recent challenges over at Scrapz.

This one was a sketch challenge:

{this was my Valentine's card from the Little Mister - he made it at playgroup :-) }

I tried something a little different for me and went a little 'grungy' ... some scrunching, some tearing, inking and misting.
Hmm ... what do you think?   It was fun for a change ;-)

Totally LOVE those little Studio Calico wood transportation shapes!!

I also created a card for our Noteworthy challenge ...

Love the quotes this range has!  Perfect for cards and adding a sentiment to a page :-)

Thanks for visiting - love reading your comments :-)

Woodland Fairies and Little Cowboys

Recently, both the kids had photoshoots with LaBelle Photographics.  We decided to do separate themed shoots this time - and make them really girly and really boyish :-) :-).

So, with the help of the lovely Linley at LaBelle Photographics, we came up with 2 themed shoots. I am absolutely over the moon happy with both of them!!  And, I have to say, it was SO MUCH FUN!!!  As always, I wish I could share every single photo - they are all so stunning, but I'll just pick a few to give you a little taste :-)

 Miss B and a couple of her little friends became gorgeous little Woodland Fairies ...

Complete with mini cupcakes, tutus, fairy wings and toadstools :-)

See more stunning photos from this shoot on the LaBelle Photographics blog HERE :-)

And then it was the Little Mister's turn.  He became a little cowboy, complete with cowboy hat, trusty horse sidekick "Bobby", and his favourite guitar strumming along to "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" :-).  I can't get over how grown up he looks in some of these pics! 

LOVE the blue and red combo here ...

I'm so proud of both of them - they were both super good sports on the day.  I think they might be becoming rather used to Mummy wanting regular photoshoots ;-).  And, of course, it certainly helps that Linley (the photographer) is just wonderful with kids :-).  Keep an eye out on her blog, you might see more pics from the little cowboy shoot :-).  EDITED TO ADD:  You can see them HERE 

I'll be back soon with some scrapping to share :-)

Thanks for visiting, have a great week :-)

Baby Month catch up

I'm a bit behind in my blogging.  I don't know, life seems to get in the way and I don't seem to update as much any more.  However, I'm planning to change that.  I thought I'd post a couple of pages at a time to catch up :-)

So ...

Last month at Scrapz.Biz, we had Baby Month - all our challenges were baby themed and there was SO much baby scrappy inspiration :-).
