I have made a couple of cards for it.

I used my new selection of papers from Stampin'up to make both of these.

Good luck to everyone who enters the challenge, go check it out :-)

Merry Christmas

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas & New Year.
We have had a wonderful family Christmas, the boys are very happy with there presents.

We bought them a new trampoline, which they just love.
The weather has brightened up, which means Summer has finally arrived!!  It is still hard to become festive in the sunshine but it sure does beat the snow & ice.
It is hard to belive that only a couple of weeks ago our street looked like this........

Our whole street flooded because the catchment pond in the next street burst it banks because of blocked drains!  Michael & the boys thought it was great fun because they could kayak up & down the street.

So much to share but not enough time!  Catch up soon.

Two days of Athletics

We have just spent the latter part of the week watching our boys enjoy their athletics day's at school.
Aston's was cancelled for the first two days, due to rain, so it was third time lucky.

Jensen & Myles had their Athletics day together.  They were split up by year groups.

They actually got to use a real discus & shot put, not like the juniors, they get to throw bean bags, I guess it is less dangerous.  I can assure you that even the year 3 & 4 had problems throwing within the lines!  I had to duck at least twice.  lol

Prima say it with Crystals, Fancy Pants Acetate & stamping

Here is a layout to make you think of Summer!
I designed this for an on-line challenge, I didn't win but I love the finished layout.

Backpack & Cards

Here is a pic of the class in a kit I made for Better Scrapbooking.
I used a Dilmah tea box for my template, this made my backpack big enough for card storage.
I've used Fancy Pants papers, die cuts & Kaisercraft brads.

Upsy Daisy Unwritten Layout

Here is another layout I designed for Memories Forever, using the Upsy Daisy Unwritten papers.

Designing with Upsy Daisy

While at CHA we came across an awesome canadian scrapbooking company called Upsy Daisy.

Here are some of the cards & layouts I created for Memories Forever once we returned home.
