Create + Share...

Woohoo!!  I am thrilled to share some of my latest publication news!  I was casually flipping through Scrapbooking Memories this morning, knowing I had a layout in there somewhere (thanks to BB for letting me know through FB! LOL!).

What I didn't know is... I didn't have just one layout featured but three throughout the whole magazine!! *Sorry* Just doing a little happy dance! LOL! I don't sub very often and was genuinely surprised to see each LO.  These layouts had been photographed by SM months ago!

The first layout was featured in the "Top 10 style trends" on pg 62.  It was described as shabby chic.

[Be Brave]

The second was in the "clean and simple" gallery, pg 68.

[Rain Dance]

And finally, one of my all time faves, featured in the "spooks and ghouls" gallery, pg107.

[Monster Bash]

So... three of my kids were pleased to see themselves in a magazine today.  Cam... He wasn't bothered!! LOL!  And of course Tahlia had to rub it in to her brothers, that she was featured twice...sheesh!!

So that's my little share. Thanks for visiting...x

Have I shared this layout??? I'm pretty sure I have. It was for a challenge I set over at Scrapboxx - record a conversation.

{My Frankenstein}

I've been looking for it in my files from last year. And do you think I can find it? Nope. Nah-dah.

It has been published in this month's Scrapbooking Memories (Vol 13, no 6). These photos were from Liam's Book Week photo shoot from last year. :D He is a little monster!! Only kidding. I don't think I can say that this close to Mother's Day anyway! LOL!!!

Actually, I had forgotten it was being published this month. So it was a nice surprise when I found this layout in the magazine too!

{Our Spring Garden}

This layout was created for the Scrapabilities Scrap Master competition. It needed to have layers, and from memory, I think I plastered about seven layers onto this one!! :D

Thanks for visiting...x

It's still raining here... and the kids are still sick too. I guess the weather just isn't being very accommodating for them to fully recuperate. Oh well. One of the good things at the moment is, at least they are home and not out getting sicker in the wet weather, (which knowing Liam who can't resist puddles...) would be, if they were at school.

So we have had a few games of scrabble, some hot chocolates and a lot of lying on the couch watching tv. *sigh* I really don't like it when they get really sick like this.

I haven't done a lot of scrapping lately. But I did manage to squeeze this one in yesterday while they were all having a quiet moment...A rare thing I know!! (For all FOUR kids to have a quiet moment at-the-same-time!!!) LOL!

{Almost Outgrown}

Ethan loves this little bike. It's three wheels have had a truly amazing workout. The poor thing has travelled some distance in its day too. The bike has lasted through both of his older siblings and I'm wondering if Ethan will ever have the heart to pass it onto Cameron, when the time comes!

Anyway, I hope the weather is lovely and sunny where you are. Us, at the moment... Well we have gumboots permanently attached to our feet! LOL! Happy puddle jumping everyone..xx

It's a small step into the big world of scrapbooking but... I've been published for the second time! It's an older layout. One I had forgotten that I'd submitted.

*blush* I know it's silly, LOL! But I'm excited, and so are the kids! (Who incidentally, like to see themselves in a magazine!!) TFL.

An amazing week...

Wow! I really don't know what to say. We have been incredibly blessed with a healthy newborn boy and everything that comes with the territory.

And......

I have been published in the latest issue of Scrapbook Creations for the very first time!!!! Well actually...I have been published for the first time EVER and this magazine chose my layout "Dancing Queen".

Tahlia is over the moon (even though you can't see her face! LOL)! And I just wanted to share a little more exciting news... Thanks for visiting.
