Scrapbook Creations # 40

.....and my contributions are....


'my family'


.... which was a Memory Bugs DT layout...with some hand stitching and an old photo of my three kidlets...that I just love.















...and this one of Briony and Alex...using the UL papers.....it looks quite khaki in the magazine...but is very green IRL....










and lastly this one of Brent from Footy Season last year.... I wish he was still playing ... but one thing Ive learnt about Teenagers....they have strong wills and once they decide something...thats it!













I really loved SC this month...sooooo many fabulous, inspirational ideas...and lots of my friends featured in there as well.....if you havent bought it yet...as they say "do yourself a favour...get out and get a copy!!"
..and just because I havent shared in a while....here is a couple of double layouts that I have finished over the last few weeks..... this first one of Briony and her first day at High school... and then missing the bus.... I really loved the idea of the collage feel to page one.... followed by a very simple...more 'my' style layout on page two.




































and this layout 'the rope swing'... of Mitch and his cousins having an absolute ball on the rope swing during the January holidays.....( what it doesnt show is that while they were having the time of their life...swinging out and dropping into the river...I was having a heart attack worrying about them having an accident...and working out in my mind how long it would take for an Ambulance to arrive if we needed one...LOL)
My final share is this 'a new journey' layout of my SIL's wedding....I loved the collage feel....and once again...lots of hand stitching on this one.
Well....this is my last post for a few days.....Im off tomorrow to the Scrapboxx retreat...I cant believe it has finally arrived.... today is cleaning, organinsing and packing day.....Ive still got heaps to do.... but Ill get there... and Im sure I will hardly sleep a wink tonight...in anticipation....
Just on Mitch's job too.....he has re-applied at the other Supermarket locally..... they are actually owned by the same company.....so I have decided to postpone approaching the store for feedback just yet..... I am terrified of jeopordising (sp) his chances at this store..... so I will hold off until I get home from the Retreat.... I have really appreciated everyones support..... and I will update my blog with further news as it happens.
Well..... if you pop in over the weekend..... just think of my sitting among like minded friends, scrapping, laughing.....and generally having the time of my life...
