A Layout for NSD

Hey all
At my family Easter get together, my hubby was having fun kicking the footy around with my niece and nephews. He's just a big kid at heart. So I got a few fun photos that I had to scrap. I especially love the piggy back photo with my gorgeous niece.

I don't create bright layouts too often, but it was a bit of fun. I think its one of those things you need to do with kids, but without kids of my own as yet, its only when I have great pics of my nieces and nephews that I get the opportunity.

Materials: American Crafts: Hello Sunshine Dandy paper, October Afternoon: Farm fresh farmyard paper, Basic grey: Origins refresh paper, Echo park sticker, Kaisercraft bubblegum hills chipboard & patterned paper, Kaisercraft Lush patterned paper, Bella chips.

I had a bit of a shopping spree again today... back to the Kaisercraft outlet for a mass of OTP and other goodies. They had a lot of May specials on so I got quite a few freebies, which is always good. Also got a few more items for hubby's 30th and a cruise ship OTP album for mum as an extra mother's day gift since they just got back from a cruise. She has never done a mini album so it'll be a fun thing to create with her.

Happy National Scrapbooking Day everyone!

Sketchy Thursday... On A Wednesday

Hi everyone,
I am feeling a bit under the weather today. Body aches and exhausted... possibly building into a cold or flu. Hope not but everyone around me has been sick so it would be a miracle otherwise. So I came home from work a bit earlier and decided to work on a challenge while having some relaxation time.

I only just saw this weeks Sketchy Thursday's sketch... which is due in tonight. I thought it was great and decided to give it a go. Its another wedding layout (surprise!) and its got a lot of me on it! I will do something similar with photos of my hubby from the big day when I find another great sketch so they can go together as a double layout.

On this layout I have included my very first hand made flower, which I made a few weeks ago. It was really just a practice one but I decided it might be nice to include it on a layout. The colour scheme worked well. I also have a couple of silver heart 3D embellishments and some cardstock stickers. The shape behind the central photo is actually two Tim Holtz sizzix dies... Baroque... stuck together to create a bigger shape. It was one of the items in my latest Scrapbooking Haven purchase.

Whenever I finish a layout, I always go show my husband and he always says something typically male like 'It's good'. Today he asked where all the layouts are going to go. I thought that was kind of obvious since he's seen me working on travel albums in the past... but obviously not lol I asked him if he wanted them all over the wall and he didn't say no LOL I think the basketball was distracting him though. One of these days I should do a layout based on his extremely time consuming and sometimes expensive hobby... his band. I bet he'll have more to say about that one.

Thanks for visiting :-)
