Create...





Isn't this kit delightful??? I have created four layouts already with this and still have heaps of product left over. Heaps!!



And the other design team gals have really rocked their kits too. Check them out over at the Storyboard Kits blog. I'm still pinching myself that Lisa chose me to be on the team too! LOL!



So here's what I've created so far....


{H2O}



journaling: Cam thought the funny pool water fountain was hilarious!



And quite frankly, watching both him and our niece Moriah (aged 2) trying to figure out what the purpose of it was, was so much fun!! These photos were taken at Callum's 10th birthday party.


{So Brave}



This layout is about Ethan's dental surgery. My journaling is hidden in the pocket. Pretty much straight from the blog.


{Organized Chaos}



In January, my in-laws celebrated their 40th Wedding anniversary. We went out the day before all the flooding occurred in Brisbane and the Lockyer Valley. And of course it was raining. A lot. But what I documented in this layout was the amount of effort it takes to organize four generations (including nine grandchildren) to eat in a restaurant. Very trivial stuff... considering....


{Swim Team}


Earlier this year, (I can't remember if I've blogged about it), Tahlia was selected to participate in the District Swim Trials from her school. Very few kids were chosen. I hadn't really given it much thought, when she came home late last year, from her school swimming carnival, (also held in the pouring rain!!!), with a blue ribbon for backstroke. She is a good swimmer. But she hates it. I suppose that comes from me. I hate swimming. And I especially hated competing in swimming carnivals at school! LOL!



She had to wait over two hours for her race to start. It was also an after school meet, so when the trials started at 6.30 pm, this meant she didn't even get her feet wet until close to 9pm!!! Her poor nerves got the better of her. She was a wreck. And she puts way too much pressure on herself. Waaaaay too much. She probably gets that trait from me too.

Anyway, she came away from it with a person best time and regret for missing out on a ballet lesson! :)


So that's it for now. Don't forget to come back tomorrow morning for the Kaisercraft blog hop!! Hope to see you there. Thanks for visiting...x

Anyway, here's my contribution:

These two layouts were created from the Boxx of Scraps kit. I loved the fun masculine colours in the patterned papers. Perfect for scrapping the boys! Thanks for visiting...x

There is over $200 worth of prizes to be won! You really don't want to miss it! I hope to see you hop on over!! LOL!!

Beaten...?





I think not! LOL! But what's a boy to do when there is cake mix to be eaten and your siblings are at school?


You work out quickly you don't have to share...with anyone...even if Mummy wants to take a photo! :D

I don't know about you guys, but I seem to struggle with making cards! LOL! You would think that since I scrap in a smaller size, making cards would be easy. But nope. I just can't do it. But every now and then I create one or two and think.... hey! I actually don't mind that one! :D





Here are two that I made using the fabulous, Bubblegum Hills collection from Kaisercraft! I did tell you guys that I love this line!! LOL!





{Best Friends}





{Happy Easter}


Maybe I channelled my inner "Sheree" or "Nerrida" (LOL) or maybe it's the patterned papers! But I can safely say, I am almost, somewhat, cautiously, happy with them! hee hee..
