Happy Birthday to our darling girls

The first few weeks of July is busy in our household. Our girls have their birthdays 8 days apart and this year it was Daughter #1 turning 6 and our baby girl turning 2. I had lots of fun this year making their cakes too (thanks to Woman's Weekly for making it even easier...and of course the Thermomix!).

Here are our girls on their birthdays...Oops - I forgot to get candles! SO we used last years candles - after all 5+1=6!

I actually remembered candles for Cheekah's birthday.

And here is some more layouts to share:

Below is a layout completed using papers from the Basic Grey Max and Whiskers Range. I also used a Fiskars punch, miscellaneous buttons and my Cricut for the paper flowers.

This next layout was put together using Cosmo Crickets paper; & Sassafrass letters and stickers.

The last layout I have to share is a nice quick and easy one of Parliament house. I used paper from KI Memories & My Minds Eye; letters by Prima; Twiddleybitz dies; rubon by Creative Imaginations; Kaiser flowers and Prima bling.

Thanks for looking

Lest We Forget - 25th April

I have been away from my site for a while now - so much going on. Here are a few layouts I have managed to pull together - planning to get some more done this long weekend.

The layout above was completed using the gorgeous Devonshire range from Kaiser. I love this photo of our little boo, taken 3 months ago at my cousins wedding.

The next layout is made using Basic Grey's Nook and Pantry range.

The next one is made from a range that is a bit of an oldie bit a goodie - Basic Grey Periphery.

The following layout was made with a a few different items - Creative Imaginations, 7 Gypsies and Jenni Bowlin Papers; Prima flowers; & Heidi Swapp letters.

The next layout was made using the Gypsy Sisters range.

This weekend is a long weekend for us here in Australia and New Zealand. The 25th of April is recognised as ANZAC day - every year around the two nations we attend dawn services and morning marches to pay tribute to those that fought in the wars to protect our nations.

This morning I attended my daughters school assembly where the children paid tribute to the ANZACs also. The children and invited guests sang and told stories of the tradition of the ANZACs and how their legend still goes onto today. The children sang about the great sacrifices these men and women made for all of us back home in Australia and New Zealand.

Today Australia and New Zealand still have a very strong bond where the borders between the countries only seem to be divided by the ocean that lies between us. In our small town of Newman, where there is a large percentage of New Zealanders, every day we see that example of mate ship where the Australians and Kiwis coexist and will always be there for another. I enjoy the dawn services in our town - it makes me feel proud to be an Aussie and sad that so many lives had to be taken so we could take for granted the freedom we have today.

On Sunday morning - I will definitely be there with the rise of the sun. An early morning to pay tribute to our soldiers is the least we can do for the ultimate sacrifices they made.

Lest we forget

New Forbbiden Love - Bo Bunny

I love cutsie papers and embellishments and I LOVE the new Bo Bunny range. I could not help but use as much of this as possible - and I still have more to go!

The layout above depicts our youngest girl to a tee - a very funny little girl. At 8 months here she was crawling around with a stubby cooler n her mouth. She wanted to get around quickly carrying things and figured maybe this was best way LOL.

For this layout i used absolutely everything Bo Bunny Forbidden Love.

The next layout was made using Kaiser bling, Creative Imaginations journal sticker and everything else Bo Bunny. This was Seekara at 16 months old.

Another Bo Bunny layout below. Everything on this page is also Bo Bunny.

The cards below were done in a class a few weeks back using Heidi Swapps Invisible papers - the affects with these papers come up fantastic - all you need is a little ink! There is still some Heidi Swapp papers left in store but be quick - they will not last long.
The last layout I wanted to share was made using papers from Sassafrass Lass and Websters; stickers from Sassafrass; chipboard button from Collections; and alphabets from Basic Grey.

Gone Wild!

Well fashion has gone a little wild again this year with lots of animal prints coming into the fashion scene again - so why not experiment with animal prints on your scrapbook pages. Anna Griffin makes that easy with her new range of papers used on the following layout. Check this range out at RTlicious.


The next layout was made using Nook and Pantry by Basic Grey.

I am still getting plenty of use form all my Sassafrass scraps to make room for all the NEW Sassafrass that arrived yesterday - so cant wait to play with them!

Below is a layout using some Prima paper - check out Rhondas blog for her spin on PRima - very nice! (see favourite sites on my blog).

The next layout was fun - I love Darters - they are my favourite bird. I used Kaiser papers, Kaiser stamps and some lovely Prima branches for this layout.

Better get some sleep before I turn into a pumpkin!
