Hello blue eyes...


Yes! Baby's got blue eyes! How excited am I to see that Cameron has still got baby blues. Tahlia, Liam and Ethan's eyes, all very quickly changed to a beautiful brownish-sometimes-green colour, while I sat back hoping, just maybe, I would get a look in (pardon the pun!).
My eye colour is a very clear and distinct blue. Mark's eye colour is a very clear and distinct brown. The dominant colour, obviously. I know it is quite a trivial thing but.... *sigh* ... this makes me happy! Lol!
Hope you are all having a great weekend.

An Award...

The lovely and very talented Nic has passed on a very sweet award to me.

Nic and I both started blogging around the same time and I guess we were learning he ropes together! hee hee! I always look for to reading the encouraging comments she leaves for me, when she visits. Thank you for taking the time to continue visiting my little corner of cyberspace! It's truly and genuinely appreciated.

Project, project...

Have you seen this? ...
Emilie Ahern has set about a little challenge on her blog. And I love the idea! I am so willing to play along and I hope that you join me over there too...
Emilie has a love of the tv show, Project Runway. Every week she is setting up a challenge inspired by the show. This week is all about a hint of glitter...
Here is my layout (even though I haven't seen the US version of the show...*yikes!*) LOL! :


I've chosen to create a reverse imprint letter "C" monogram... (is that what it is called?!) with glitter. The layout is about the small details of Cameron's first month! Wow! That has gone fast, considering he will be two months old next week.

Thanks for stopping by. I loved this challenge and can't wait for more...

American Crafts challenge...

There's a challenge over at the American Crafts blog that I just had to try out! Sewing on a layout and using two of their products. Easy, peasy, right?! Well, you can't keep me away from the sewing machine at the moment. Especially when it comes to scrapbooking! LOL! And I just wanted to sew some of this tulle onto this girly layout because... 1). It's about ballet; and 2). I often use sewing to emphasise titles.

The two products I've used from AC are the white chipboard thickers and the pink cardstock (peony).

Of course there's also another one of Jodie's cute flowers! TFL...

I've been playing with some of the gorgeous happy mail that has recently been sent my way from Jodie.


Those beautiful butterflies and handmade cream flower are just devine...

You should definitely go and check out her etsy if you are interested! :)

Just a quick update to share a little something I've been playing with in the last few days...



I knew while in hospital, that I wanted a photo of Cameron's identification bracelet while it was still on his little arm. I didn't know how I'd go about it, but I am also pleased that I've managed to incorporate the said id bracelet on the layout as well.

These papers and circle and flower diecuts, were from the December Boxx of Scraps (I think....!) I know it was definitely a Boxx of Scraps! You can find these fabulous kits over here. Thanks for visiting.
