"4"

I really don't know how we got to 4 so soon but I do hope this next 12 months goes much slower (my first baby has grown so quick I don't want my last to grow so fast)..........wishful thinking huh??!!!!

"4"

More gorgeous Stuff 2 Scap chippies:)



It's very late.......the easter bunny has been (might I add he was extremely good to the boys this year.....and not with eggs).......so off to bed for me:)

Happy Easter Hugs to you all xo

6 and half weeks to go..........

 And counting!!!!  Phewwww, what a busy couple of weeks I have had.  Easter parade went off without a hitch (I will post piccies soon) and we won our catergory....YAY!!!!!!!  Everyone had so much fun so that was the main thing:):)  Heading down to the Festival tonight to see Ben10 on stage.....as well as Angelina and Peppa Pig....but it's all about Ben 10 for Coops!!

I took some pics of the boys the other day....I haven't been taking the best pictures of the boys lately but I really like the way these ones turned out:)

Last week we also had Cooper's Easter bbq at the Kindy.  The boys were totally freaked out about seeing the Easter Bunny (we had someone dress up) but by the end of the night Cooper told me he shook his hand......Kobi just clung to Daddy like glue!  These were the dodgy bunny ears we whipped up that afternoon but they still look a bit cute in them:)



And our precious cargo.......me at 30ish weeks.  Had a doc app today, everything seems great.....only put on about 5 or 6 kilos so far!!  Doesn't mean my hips still aren't killing me!  Starting to get sore and uncomfortable.  Now that the Kindy float is over with I can now get more things organised for bubby, I want to make a canvas, rub back and paint my rocking chair, sort out carseats etc etc.......because the weeks are flying by and bubs will be here before we know and we are sooooooo excited!!

Lastly I will leave you with a fun little layout I did a couple of weeks ago.....Sassy cuteness here!

"I Love Your Cheese Smile" 



Thanks for visiting me today and I hope to back sooner rather than later......I wish you all a wonderful, happy, safe and fun Easter xo

The Color Room Palette #53

Such BOY colours this week:)  These pics are of Kobi when he was minutes old.....I think I am getting my baby scrap on for when #3 arrives.....8 and a half weeks to go now!  I have taken some more belly pics but haven't got them on the computer yet. 

"Baby K"

I just love using Prima on my boy pages!!



Here is the awesome palette....come and play:)



Just a couple of pics from our weekend too, went to Agnes Waters, weather wasn't the best and the water was freezing but Cooper still got in!  And Kobi well he doesn't have much fat on him and he says to me "Mummy, I'm freeeezin"  so he was wrapped in a towell most of the time or playing in the sand!



Have a lovely weekend........more Kindy Float stuff to do.....1 more week....yay!!!! It's going to be so much fun xo



Full Of Love.......

Golly gosh, we are sooo excited to meet this little bub and the boys can't wait either.  I think they are going to love their little baby so much, they already do:)   I am loving the questions atm "How is baby Goona going to get out".......so glad I can explain the operation on that one with having a c-section....lol!!  "Can we feed baby Goona".....they are so adorable, I hope the novelty doesn't wear off too quickly for them:)

I have created this layout using lots of pretty Prima, Pink Paislee, Hambly.  I have also used the small feathers from Stuff 2 Scrap!

"Full of Love"

Spot the Feathers and the MLBOW heart pin:)



I also pulled apart a Prima Candy Gem and attached a couple to the vines....



And look what I will be stalking the postie for next week.......yummo!!

Have a fantastic day, thanks for all of your sweetness as usual.....I am off to make more stuff for the Kindy float xo

Wowsers....lots to share today:)

Scrap the Boys April challenge is up and it's a good one!   So many ways to interpret this challenge, it is to take inspiration from your boys clothing (include the picture in your layout).  So I used Kobi's cute little Denim butt for my inspiration.  I used strips of denim and the colours out of my picture:) Pop over now and check out the DT fantastic layouts!

"Where Did My Baby Go"

2 new projects for My Little Bit of Whimsy .....how cute are these pins??  The Rocket Ship and Planets....super cute for your boy pages!  I also used the new Crate Paper Toy Box collection, I really loved the way this turned out....I was a wee bit sceptical to start with but it came together in the end:)

"So Proud Of You"

Close up of the pins:)



And my bunting.....I just love layered bunting atm!!!



Bumble bee embellie and Ice Cream pin in this one!!  Bit of Sass on here too:)

"Joy Of Summer"



Lots of bits and pieces on this one.



This month I am guest designer over at Stuff 2 Scrap.........Yay!!!!! So happy and thrilled Annmarie asked me:)  Check out the blog for a sketch challenge and see what the fantastic girls over there did with it!  I hope to have a go at it soon and hopefully have more Chippie layouts to share with you over there through out the month!

Using Leeann Pearce's Mushroom Boarder and a cloud which I covered in denim as well as using it as a mask:)

"Looking Forward"

This boarder is soo cute!

Another layout of my cutie pie Kobi...getting into the cupcakes at Cooper's birthday:)

I used the Chipboard Hot Air Balloon and covered it in material, paint and string.  Lots of cute Sass on here too, I just love this love heart paper.

WOw, so that's a lot to look at.....I did say I had been busy!!!!

Thanks for dropping by, hope you all have a beautiful weekend.

xo

29 wks.....tired and ultra busy!!!

Okay so who's idea was it to organise the Kindy float for Easter Parade this year.....oh yeah, that would of been me!!!!  I have not long come home from a working bee for it at the Kindy.   Massive job but I am sure it will all be worth it in 3 weeks time!  I will post pics when we complete it but in the mean time it's painting cutouts, making hat's (the theme is Mad Hatter....so very fun and right up my alley), painting signs, organising paperwork, organising everyone for jobs......etc, etc!!  So on the 17th of April if you live in the Gladstone area come to the parade and wave to me you won't miss our massive big truck.....although I can't garentee I won't be curled up on a kindy seat asleep.....lol!!!!  No, it's going to so much fun for the kids!  Anyways, that's my excuse for being a little bit slack around here atm. 

I just wanted to thank all of you that participated in the blog hop last week and for all of your beautiful, heart warming comments.....they truly make my day.  And an extra special thanks and welcome to some new followers, so lovely to have you here:)

Okay onto this weeks Color Room Palette #51.  So bright and fun, I immediately thought of Sass!!

"You Make My Heart Sing"

Just a couple of closies, how cute is Ellie's Tale's little elephant:)



I have been really busy with a bit of scrapbooking too, but nothing too much that I can share.  I made another canvas for my SIL birthday this week of little Miss Gracie.  I used the Madeline range from Prima and of course lots of gorgeous flowers, misting and butterflies:)

Just an update on my bump.....I'm 29 wks, but only 10 weeks to go until we meet "Baby Goona".  We can't wait, our only delema is a name.....I have the perfect name and Tim isn't agreeing....arrgggh, I hope I can get my way...it's my turn to pick he picked Kobi....lol!!!!!  Mum has just come over now with some curtains she made for the nursery so I best get off here and help her put them up:)

Mwah, catch ya xo

Welcome to the Color Room Blog Hop:)

Welcome to the Color Room's first annual blog hop!!

We are celebratting our 50th palette and we have some amazing things to share with you this week.  See the gorgeous palette HERE.

You have just come from Ronda's awesome blog.....loved her project this week!!  Here is what I created from the "whitewashed" His Room Palette.....

"All mine"

And a few closeups for you:)

I used alot of Gesso, paint and misting to match in with this palette:)

I love collecting bits and pieces from the beach to add to my layouts:)

I hope you like, now onto somethings you may not know about me.........

1. I am from Gladstone, QLD, Australia and I am currently designing for The Color Room, Scrap The Boys, Such Sweet Tierney and My Little Bit of Whimsy.

2. I live with my husband Tim of 8 years (been together 14 yrs though) and our 2 boys, Cooper (4) and Kobi (2).  We are expecting our 3rd child in June this year:)

3. On my desk right now you will find a big mess.......I recieved some Prima goodies today that I ordered and I have been admiring them all!!!  You will also find glue, pics and layouts of the boys, paintbrushes, tape, a bucket of shells and too many other things to list!!!

4. My favourite colours to work with at the moment are aqua blue (of course....always a fave) and yellow and orange and pink and lime green....oh you know me all the colours of the rainbow will do!!!

5. What kind of themes do I often scrap?  I have done a fair few beachy themed layouts lately......I am not the best at journalling I just love to create art and cute themed layouts of my boys:)

6. Where do I scrap?  I have our 4th bedroom dedicated to my scrapbooking.  I am way to embarressed to put a picture on here (it's way too messy atm).  It's a bright lime green room, 2 desks, computer and printer,  a black ikea cabinet, black shelves and hooks and overflowing in jars, papers, paints and embellies:)

7. What is my scrapping process?  I sometimes have trouble picking a picture and thinking up a title.....but once this is done everything else comes easily.  I generally find papers and colours I want to use (usually that match my picture) I then start with painting and misting my background.  I then tear and distress my paper.  I never glue anything down until I have most of my embellishments sitting in their place.  My title and journalling is always the last thing to go on my page......hence the lack of journalling on my pages!

8. My favourite food is anything Potato!

9. My top 3 favourite tools are.....well I don't really use tools, I distress everything by hand, barely own a punch (hopefully soon I will get a new one!!!!) I guess I would say scissors, foam tape and glue...lol!!

10.  I get my inspiration from....definately my boys and their cuteness....hehe but lots of scrappers and different sites, I love blog hopping and definately think The Color Room has the most amazing design team and members that I'm never short of inspiration from them:):)

11.  Describe a technique I used on my project this week.........Texture!  I created lots of texture on my page by placing masking tape down first on my background.  I used gesso and scraped it over the top with a bit of chipboard.  I also misted butterflies and added more paint....(all very randomly).  I curled some paper edges and layered my embellishments on top of each other.  I then traced my finger with gesso over most of the embellishments to give it the white washed and shabby look of the beach:)

Please feel free to try my techniques on your challenge this week at The Color Room. I would love to see what you create with this gorgeous palette:)  Remember to leave a comment answering the question below to be in the running for this weeks special prize.

What colour is my scrap room??

Thank you so much for stopping by, next you are heading to the gorgeous Steph's blog.  I am a huge fan of her beautiful work and can't wait to see what she has created this week:):)

Thanks for participating and helping us celebrate this milestone.
