A couple of pages to share

The latest color combo challenge 103 , this was just a coincidence i was scrapping this when talking to Janine and she told me the colours for the latest color combo and by fluke i was scrapping these colours.

How could i not scrap this adorable pic of Indiana.I sat and scrapped all day yesterday this took a while as i decided to hand stitch around the edges I'm happy with the way it turned out.The pic is a bit crooked but i photographed this at least 6 times this morning my eyes must be crooked today.

I hope that you all had a great new year with family and friends.Ours was a quiet one we stayed home and had a couple of quiet drinks.I watched PS i love you and Colin had to suffer along lol.Then it was the Sydney fireworks display and off to bed.Not very exciting but it was relaxing.

I wonder what 2009 will bring hopefully for me it will be a permanent job.Lose some weight and who knows what else.

Finally the pics of the prima win and also a couple of special pics too.

Our grand daughter Indianna on her christening day.She was a perfect angel too.

How can you not adore this face i think that's why she gets away with so much little monkey.

We bought miss m her very own scrapbooking stash.You should have seen her face when she opened it.It was oh mummy look my very own scrapbooking she was so thrilled.She wanted to get it all out then and there.I will have sit down and scrap with her as there are loads of little bits that a three year old probably shouldnt have yet.

And of course when Mikayla seen me taking my pics of my prima prize she had to get her camera and take her very own pic too lol.

And here is my pics of the fab prize that i one that i have been promising to put up.It is just fantastic and i'm so looking forward to creating with it too.Thanks so much again prima you really made my year..

Well on that note i hope that everyone out there has a great new year looking forward to a bigger and better 2009.Till next time take care Love Kerry xx

I love the ne webster pages papers they are so pretty.I added some beautiful velvet flowers as well.

Color combo #96 i like how this turned out too.

I got the chance to finish one layout for swv cyber crop on the weekend

A beach photo shoot for this years Christmas cards.

I don't know which one i like better.

Which one do you think.

And of course we have to add a pic of the little miss blowing kisses to Santa on the TV .She had just come back from the pageant and the magic cave a big day out with my sister.She hasn't stopped talking about it.And asked Santa for pencils how cute.My sister was surprised how many people stopped and said how cute she was .The funniest part is she pretended that it was her daughter lol.

I bought this paper from Nic Howard i love the prima papers they are just so great to work with.I have water coloured and also used texta and glimmer mist on this.Mikayla with her godmother auntie Neat.

I done this layout for swv cyber crop on the weekend you had to use pink and black use dodgy pics felt and a circle.The pics are a bit out of focus and they are blurry when blown up.And there was too much light shining in also.

color combo 95

A couple of close ups

This is my take on the color combo for this week.Well another lot of colors that i just never ever use.I was able to find all of them in my stash so that's great.Getting to use papers that i would have probably just hoarded.

combo 94 and a couple of challenge layouts from chook scraps

Color combo 94 you had to use gold,lime white and a charcoal i actually liked this combo.

Chook scraps challenge this one was to use pink.I have done this for the girls crop in night i only got to complete 2 layouts as i wanted to do the color combo one as well.I was asked by Lorraine over at chooks if they called auction my services for making a layout for raising money for cancer i was honoured to be asked.I also helped my sister with three pages to complete her sons army album so i was really busy last night scrapping until 1.00 am this morning.

And this was also a challenge at chooks scrapping with orange and black using transparencies ,stamping and paint.
