Look who is turning five tommorow.

Look who is turning five tomorrow yes our precious little chick.She had a fabulous day yesterday at her fifth birthday party.And tomorrow is her actual birthday .She loved each and every one of her presents.And she was so tired last night it was straight to bed and she didn't wake up until 7.15 this morning.Boy it must be tough being five.

Happy happy birthday sweet precious little chick we love you very much and we hope that you have a fun filled day .Love mum and dad.

I think this was one of her favourite things the bear sings a birthday song it hasn't left her side.Thanks auntie Robyn.

And Indiana,Tarkyn and Mikayla they have all grown so much in a year.

And of coarse the little treasure being herself climbing tree's with her friend Mackenzie.

scrap the girls for March.

This is my take on scrap the girls for March why not give it a go.There are some great prizes up for grabs click on the link in my side bar and it will take you too the challenge.This pic was taken by Peta at the Bon's retreat last year.Sandie and i just clicked it is such a shame that she lives in WA.We talk quite often on msn and she is such a sweetie too.

ccc challenge and build a page feb for prima.

This is my take on the ccc challenge for this fortnight i have only done this one cos i really like the combo.Steph Devlin chose the combo and isn't so fresh.And of course i had to get out all the prima flowers from my collection.

And this one is the prima build a page for February.Don't you just love the new prima papers and flowers.I also stamped swirls and inked them not that you can really tell on here.

Also a friend Jodi emailed me today to say congrats on getting one of my pages on the prima blog yay gotta be happy with that.Prima as you all know is my most favourite brand of paper and also there flowers i would be lost without them.

Here is a link tothere blog and you will see my page up in lights tee hee http://prima.typepad.com/prima/ and a big congrats to Belinda Spencer that got the winning page of the month of January she is another South Aussie girl.And the other South Aussie girl to get her page on the blog was Lydell Quinn.

So all in all go SA.I have also done another layout this week but can not share that one yet as it is for the scrap the girls blog for March.If you havent entered the feb one quick put your entries in as there are great prizes up for grabs.And of course my layout is all new prima just gotta love that.Have a great weekend everyone i know mine is going to be busy.

Christy and Isobel

I was lucky enough to photograph Christy and her new baby Isobel on the weekend she is such an adorable baby.I have known Christy since she was about 8 years old and now she is mum at 32.She has grown into such a beautiful girl and I'm sure she will be the best mum too.

And of course no show without punch.Mikayla certainly loves being photographed too.She wanted to know when was it going to be her turn .We have had a really good couple of weeks at school ans she is adjusting quite well.I will catch you all later i hope to do some scrapping this week one way or another.

Can't wait to get started with the new prima papers that i was able to get on the weekend from the paper craft fair here in Adelaide.

totally unheard of two boy layouts for the week

Lachlan looking very serious but cute.I have stitched between the squaresand around the picture too.

And another on.I know i really dont scrap boy layouts very often but i was really pleased with the way these two turned out.

Our baby on her first day of school

She is all grown up and her bag is really heavy too.

God only knows what is going on in her head here.She looked so sad when we left her.But on picking her up she was happy.And she kept talking about the canteen.Food is her number one topic.She also was pretty happy that she could play on two playgrounds as well. I hope that she will be happy .tomorrow

February Challenge for scrap the girl.

Hi girls why not give this a go this month there are some great prizes up for grabs.Last month there were 81 entries .That's fantastic i think .Why not try and make it 100 for this month so we can set a new record.
Here is my take on the challenge.I needed to get these pics scrapped and this was perfect for the challenge.Mikayla's first dance costumes.

Some exciting news and just a couple of things that i have been upto.

Little miss modeling for me in the tshirt that i decorated for her to go with her skirt that i made.

Don't you just love this skirt well i do.Thanks so much to my good friend Janine she drafted this pattern for daughter and allowed me to trace one off for Mikayla.I pit this together last night and just love the fresh look of it.

And the invitations for Travis and Carla's English wedding invitations they took me about a week and a few days very fiddly but i was happy with the end result. Now i have to hope and pray that they get there safely.

And last but not least i have been keeping a little secret.I applied to be on the creative team of scrap the girls and i have been chosen as one of them.I am looking forward to working with all the other very talented ladies.And congratulations to the other ladies that have got through too.

Scrap the girls have a monthly challenge and only females are allowed to be scrapped.

So come and join up and be a follower and do the challenges each month there are great prizes to be one.The next challenge will be up tomorrow and it is a fabulous one.
Click on this link http://scrap-the-girls.blogspot.com/ and that will take you there come on you know you want to play.Thanks Kate for inviting me to be on your CT i am looking forward to all the new challenges that you will bring.

And the other secret is that Vanessa from scrapwithv has asked me to join as a kit designer for her site.How cool is that,i was on there design team for a couple of years.Just with work commitments and family it was really hard to to be able to post and be part of a great site and help with things on the forum.This is a great fit now as it suits me not to be on a dt and commit to the many hours that is required to keep a forum going.

Loving the colours in these layouts.

I just love this pic of Mikayla.Lots of technique on this layout .I have masked it and crackled it as well.Loving the new punches too.

And with some of the left over crackling paper i added to this layout.I was inspired by Steph Devlin with the transparent piece on the side .She has used a hambly transparency and i have stamped my own i was pleased how it came out.There are a couple of transparent frames on the page as well the picture didn't really show then though.

some help required for cards and also a layout to share.

Can you believe that this is the house that i spent my younger years in living with two brothers and two sisters and my mum and dad.My brother took this pic while he was over at kangaroo island at xmas time.I cant believe we all fitted in it.

A pic of Col and i just had to scarp it.

And finally some cards that i made for a friend Gigi her son has Autism and she is raising money for a special sensory room for his school.So if any of my friends that do cards or even if you don't i would love to see if you could help too.Please let me know what you can help with to raise money for these children as they need to raise about $5000 dollars and these days that's not easy.

I have made ten cards and really it took me about two hours and loads of scraps that I'm sure you all have in your stash.Even if you can make 1 or 2 that's a couple more than none.Any little bit will do.If you can't i understand.A gold coin donation would also go along way.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.Just let me know.Take care Kerry xx

Don't you just love little babies i do.Riley is so sweet congrats to Kym ,Mark and Mackenzie on your daughter and sister.

She is adorable here just love this pic.

And what is an update if the little miss wasn't in it.

This would have to be one of my most favourite shots ever cant wait to scrap it.And yes i finally scrapped another layout.Well i started this by default at Janine's Saturday.I actually forgot to take the photos that i wanted to use so i found this by luck in my scrap bag.

And the papers were already cut from ages ago,i don't even know what they are that's how old they are.
But they are so bright and bold i love how it came together.And i am 3/4's through another layout on a roll.

Thanks for the catch up Janine it was nice to catch up and chat been a while.And it was great to catch up with Kym as well and have a cuddle of Riley.Well Mikayla has been bugging me all day to take the christmas tree down so i better go and do it.

Happy new year to everyone who visits here i hope that the new year brings you loads of joy and good fortune.xx
