Stuck Sketch September...

Here is the sketch over at Stuck this month, It's a great multiple picture LO. Turned out great for some pic that I have been meaning to scrap for quite a while of My 2 kids playing Tug of war. It's so nice when the actually play nice together and not fight...

And here is my interpretation of the sketch.....

 PP from Stampin up, Handmade masking tape flower, bling.

I am loving using hessian at the moment, gives my LO a new dimension.

TFL have a great Scrappy Sunday!!

Scrap the Girls September Challenge....

So the challenge this month is to use CLIPS...paperclips, bulldog clips, and clips...

Here is what I came up with.....

 This is My Gorgeous Niece Ellie, she is such a happy little baby and I really enjoyed looking after her for a few day. Even with the sleep deprivation and being thrown in the deep end with nappies and bottles again. I thought that I was so past that stage.

Love this fabric button that I made with the cute teddy!!
 TFL..... More challenge LO to come, so loving scrapping ATM!!!

September Challenge at Scrap the Boys......

My first month at scrap the boys, LO challenge This month is to use household/family ephemera on your layouts. Now this can be anything from clothing labels, toy packaging, gift cards or cards from birthdays, ticket stubs etc....
Here is my example....

I have used the package from My Boys Mighty Beanz. As soon as he has $5 he is off the Kmart for another packet. He' s collection total to date is 113 Beanz.

I have used October Afternoon PP and a lot of handmade embellishments and the orange button is from A lil' somethin. Lots of distressing inking and stamping.

I'm really happy with how this turned out as I think that he does represent he's collection well.

If you would like to give this challenge a go head to Scrap the Boys and give it ago. Would love to see what you come up with.

Thanks for looking and please leave a comment, Love to hear what you think and the chance to visit your blog also!!. Enjoy your day I'm off to my scrap desk while the kids are at school....

I have had to keep this quiet for a few weeks now, But I can finally reveal that I am now part of the Scrap the Boys design team!!!! ............... So excited I get to play with some awesome girls who's work I admire. This is the first Design team that I have been apart (actually the first one I have ever applied to be on).

Well.... Not a lot of scrappin happening here....

This month has just flown by!!! I can't believe that it is the end of the month already. I have had one of those months that I would just like to forget. Having family issues that some how become my problem (as they usually do) And then my beautiful dog Zara has been really sick. Took her into the vet 2 weeks ago as she wasn't eating, vomiting and really lethargic. Turns out that she has Cancer :( So it has been lots of visits back to the vet since and lots of tears. But I am happy to report that I took her in today to get her stitches out and she is having a good day. They tell me as long as the good days out weigh the bad ones she OK. But the bill is huge $$$$$. How far would you go for your four legged child (As I call her lol).
Took some pics of her today and thought I would share.

Look at her shaved belly from the op. She looks so shiny in this pic you wouldn't think that she was sick!!

Yes she is a Rottie, but she is the most gorgeous girl, such a sook really. I have only had her for a year but she was the dog that I had to have. She strayed into our yard not long after me moved into our new house. I think there was a reason for it because I don't think that they would have paid for her treatment. Fingers crossed that she will be with me for a while yet.

Love you Zar Zar
