Big Brother

I am so overjoyed that I am finally getting My Mojo back and have been getting heaps of layouts done.. This layout of my son when he met his new baby sister for the first time is one that I have been wanting to do for ages.. I have entered it in the the Frosted Designs Sketch Along Tuesday Sketch challenge #11.

This is the sketch #11

This is my interpritation of Sketch #11.. Big Brother....

I sewed the stars and ribbon onto the page with the sewing machine..

Hope you like it..

Recycle Reuse...

For this challenge at Frosted Designs we had to recycle and reuse so I thought I would try a technique that I have been wanting to use for a while and that a friend has shown me.. I used an old soft drink can (cleaned out of course) to make these beautiful and funky embelishments to add to my layout...

Firstly I cut both ends off the can then run it through the CuttleBug to emboss it. I then used my Stayzon ink to highlite the embossed pattern.

I think these homemade embellishments add the shine and funk that I wanted on this layout and I know I will definately use this technique again..

PRECIOUS

Thought I would post up another girl layout.. Thanks to a wonderful and very talented scrapping friend I have been getting lots of pages done.. This one was quite a tricky one as I originaly did it for a challenge but didn't post it up in time so I went out side my normal way of doing layouts.. The final product though I think I am quite happy with.. Hope you all like it..

SISTERS

I thought that since I have posted 2 layouts of my Boy up here in the last couple of weeks it was about time I put up a layout of my 2 Beautiful Daughters.. This is Katie and Abbey in a sisters page.. looking at them together you wouldn't think they ever argued HAHA.. I love using bright funky papers and this one came together really well..

I love these Mushroom Chipboards from Buzz and Bloom.

BANNERS

I was really excited to hear about this challenge over at Frosted Designs... It is Banners!! I have never used a Banner on my Layout before so this was the Perfect oppitunity to give it a go.. I think it came together really well and I hope you all Like it as well...

New Toy Named ELPHI

Just a quick short post, I am really excited I finally got my new camera today. After months of telling Hubby that my other one was not holding its charge and then Finally going completely crazy and having a shaking problem (all my pics kept coming out wobbly). Hubby ordered me a new camera a nice little Brown Cannon happy snap.
So I will be able to take photos of all my layouts and post them up here, So keep your eyes peeled, I am sure you will be inundated with a whole heap of layouts over the next 24 hours... HAHA
I can't wait for the battery to charge so that I can start snapping away..
