Black & White

Yet again another beach pic (are you sick of them yet lol) I love this photo, even though you can't see Jai's face. I thought I'd try out a black & white page. I'm fairly happy with the result. I wanted to journal, just the location and the date but it just didn't look right anywhere on the page, so I left it off.




Supplies used: Patterned paper - Luxe. Cardstock - bazzill. Lettering - American crafts. Ink - Versa Color; black, white. White ribbon. Glass finish. Pen - Uniball Signo; white.3D foam dots.

Something different

Last night I felt like a change, so I scrapped this photo of my Mum (Jenni) and her Mum (Jean). The pic would have been taken in 1955 or 1956, I'm not sure if Mum had turned one yet. Don't you just love the 1950's housewife fashion lol. Look at that impeccably ironed dress!








Supplies used: Patterned paper - Fancy Pants, Cardstock - Bazzill, Die cut Flower - Daisy D's, Chipboard - JCS, Ink - Versa Color; pinecone, Paint - Making Memories; deep sea & spotlight, Lace - thanks Deb, 3D foam dots. Glass Finish.


I also received my lucky 'blog poster' prize from Deb - some gorgeous Basic Grey chipboard shapes and stuff. They'll be used for sure, thanks Deb!




Rachel had a really cool little Dymo Letratag at crop night last night, so I had to go and grab my self one today. It's fun! I even labelled my label maker hah, what problem??

Last nights LO. I'm really into using black & white photo's at the moment. This is another one of the Kilcunda beach pics. I finished this page and half finished another. That's good for me, I usually only get one completed. It's pretty simple, but I like it.

Uh oh

Cody has got a bit of eczema going on, so I have to moisturise him. I made the mistake of leaving the cream in his room last night, and this morning when the boys were in his room playing quietly (or so I thought) Cody decided to rub cream all over his brothers head as well as his own hands and feet. I went to check on them and poor Jai looked like Yahoo Serious!

I don't know what was going on in this photo (Bryce took it) but it cracks me up eveytime I look at it!!!

And here's Cody just for good measure...

Cheap as chips

I picked up this Bella kit for $3 at the reject shop. It's not too bad for not a lot spent lol! Oh, I did have to add a bit of Heidi Grace paper and a few stick on letters. I plan to journal on the right of the bottom photo.

Crop night & LO comp.

Last night's crop night was not very productive for me, I spent most of the night painting chipboard! But anyway, that saw me finish 2 LO (minus the journalling) will finish that off tonight. Had a fun night with Deb and Shadow keeping us entertained by showing off all his little doggie outfits to us, he's such a poser! Too funny! (I miss my gorgeous Hannah :( so much lately!) So anyway, I'm going to be brave and submit a LO for the Scrappers Warehouse Sketch Comp. Here's the sketch, and my version of it. What do you think? Do I have half a chance lol!

Supplies used: Photo subject - Master Jai; 17 months. Patterned paper - Basic Grey. Cardstock - Bazzill. Ink - Versa Colour; pinecone, sky blue. Chipboard - Bella. Ribbon - American Crafts; Seasons winter. Photo turns - 7 Gypsies. Paint - Making Memories; chocolate, shopping bag, evergreen, celery.
