The Boys - Part 2

This is another layout that I have done from the page kit of the We R Memory Keepers Vintage T range.  This time I have used a picture of Joe that Phil took when he was practicing for a wedding shoot.  This is one of my fav pictures of Joe.  I just love his eyes.  He is such a good looking boy - apparently he takes after his father!!

This is one of the chipboard shapes that comes with the kit.  I love the wings.  The saying is one of my favourites too.

 I love that this kit included the brads.  Why is it that three in a row looks soo cool??

Thanks for stopping by.

The Boys - Part 1

This is another layout using We R Memory Keepers papers and embellishments.  This time I have used the page kit from the Vintage T range.  I have to say that this is one of the best male ranges that I have seen in a while.  The page kits come with everything that you will need to do a double page layout.  I have changed this layout around a little as I wanted to use these photos of the boys at daycare.  They are such cheeky boys.

The kits also include some great chipboard elements.  They are fun and easy to use.

Don't you just love this You Rock! chipboard.  I am not sure that my boys would even know what a tape is!!

Just for Fun...

Okay, so this post is just because I like this photo, nothing crafty or informative.

The other day I was playing around with my camera and took this photo of the jeans that I was wearing.  I really like the photo and thought that I would share it with you.

New Distress Inks

I am so in love with the Seasonal Series of Distress Inks by Tim Holtz and Ranger.  We have just got the Winter 2011 set in store at Pages 2 Scrap this week.  These are a special limited edition set of 3 inks that Range are only producing in limited supply.  Once sold that is it they are gone.

The colours are so amazing.  I totally love the Iced Spruce and cannot wait to use it on some layouts, maybe with a bit of glimmermist over the top to add that extra bit of sparkle.

Thanks for stopping by.

Yummy

Just how good is this?  This was the yummy breakfast that I had at Peterson's Champagne House.  My lovely husband Phil took me to my favourite winery in the Hunter Valley, NSW.  I not only got this totally yummy breakfast, 2 cups of devine coffee, but I got to buy a case of the best Sparking Pink wine there is.  Dolce Per Tutti - Sparking Moscato it is the best EVER.

I am so lucky to have such a wonderful husband.  At the end of this month we will have been married for 14 years.  We are going to spend our anniversary down in Melbourne at the lovely Windsor Hotel.  I cannot wait.

Umbrella Man

I have only just started playing with working on canvas.  This was my first solo attempt.  I really was not sure what I was doing but I actually love the result.  I started out with a text paper background.  I have done several layers to add a little dimension.  Then I discovered the Tim Holtz Umbrella Man die.  I wanted to create the feeling of being the one in the crowd that stands out. 

I have used the Viva Precious Metal Turquoise all over the canvas in different thicknesses.  I then used the Viva Croco Crackling Colour - Transparent over the top.

The variation to the crackle is so much fun to play with.  It looks great as a background or even over the top as I have done it here.  It was exactly the effect that I was looking for on this canvas.

Happy Halloween... Trick or Treat??

Well we have had a very interesting Halloween.  The boys did get to go Trick or Treating and they were very happy with their treats.  Charlie was a very cute Superman, Will a very giggly Batman and Joe went as a Patient.  See his arm??  Yes that is a real broken arm.

We got a call from the school today (Monday 31st October) to say that Joe had fallen playing footy and hurt his arm.  Long story short he has broken his wrist in two places.  You can see the breaks (bumps) in the x-ray.  We could not believe it.  Charlie had only had his cast removed on Thursday and less than a week later Joe breaks his arm.  Guess that's what it means to have 3 boys.

Thanks for stopping by.
