scrap the girls and the 123 challenge for september.

Scrap the girls challenge this month was using white card stock and something that is a first like first day at school or first tooth etc etc.This was very different for me thinking of how to scrap school pics and i managed to sneek a small flower on my layout tee hee.Thanks miss Sandie for the RAK i loved it.

And 123 challenge was orange as the color and handmade flowersand the word bloom.I made these orange roses.

So girls get those fingers working and why not come and play along this month.I would love to see what you do.So send me a link when you have created for the challenge either one and i will be having a special RAK and the end of the month of September.I will get Mikayla to draw a name out of the hat.Another pic that was taken by Leonie in the bottom layout thanks again Leonie.Take care love Kerry xx

The color room palette #4 and prima build a page August

Gosh time flys we have been married now for 8.5 years.I wish some people would just realize that life goes on and we are staying together and they should just move on and get over it.

Love the dress form this one is from dusty attic

The small dress form is a scrap matts one the are so cute i love them. I have done this page for the color room number 4 finally all up to date i have done 21 now.So i am pretty happy with my effort.

Prima build a page for August just cutting it fine for the month.Just something simple this month.So i decided to gather the paper around the patterned paper to give it some depth.

Just for something different I have put a sign in book on the side of my blog why not leave a message and say hi.

A long post and a lost tooth

Mikayla lost her first tooth she was so happy because the tooth fairy was going to come.She was so excited that she ran off into the bathroom to look at her lost tooth.That when she came bounding back into the family room it bounced out of her hand.We searched everywhere and could not find it i thought oh know what can we tell her.I had to tell her that the tooth fairy's already had been notified that she had lost the tooth and that they would come and find it and take it with them leaving some money behind.
Well that planned worked except this morning when she woke up she found her money in her glass beside her bed.She came out to show Colin and i and then went to go into the kitchen low and behold what do you think she found yes you guessed it her tooth.Some quick thinking by me and Colin had to also stick to the story that it must have slipped from the fairy's hand and that they would be back tonight to retrieve it,so i have put it back in the glass but there we be no more money just a tooth gone.

My friend Jodi at the retreat that we went to at Lake Keep it in NSW.Thanks so much Jodi for looking after us all and we all had a very productive weekend.It was lovely to catchup with Jules,Lindy and Pip.Can't wait till you girls come to Adelaide to do some scrapping here with me.

Well only a couple more sleeps for the little miss and i and she will be seeing Mary Poppins.She is beside herself with excitement.Take care have a great week love Kerry xx

Just one layout for the week

One layout this week not many hey.I really liked the pink piaslee papers along with the Donna Downey stamp and also my fav prima.

Mikayla and i are off to see Mary Poppins next week yay.We will meet Mikayla's sister Deb there and she will have a chance to catchup with her.Mikayla is excited and scared she wants me to hold her hand as she cant remember going on a plane before even though she has at leat a half a dozen times in the past but she was a lot younger then.

The color room number #14

I just loved the colors this week so i have managed a couple of layouts one boy one girl.

Just a few closeups.

I just love this little girl she is such a character that's for sure.Sometimes she does push her luck getting cheekier by the day.But there is times that i have to hold back from laughing at what she says.At the moment she is sitting down here with her fathers mobile singing along to a pop song a Delta Goodren song and really it is quite cute.

And this is my interpretation of the color combo a boy layout and i actually don't mind it as boy colors too.I miss this boy or man should i say so much i do wish he was here and not so far away.I only have pics to remember him by and a few odd phone calls.Maybe sometime soon he might visit here's hoping.Love you Travis xx

And Mikayla version of the color combo this week she decided to draw and then add her em bellies.

And also the layout i did last week is featured as one of the artists of the week on the color room here is the link http://thecolorroom.ning.com/ come and play i think you will enjoy the challenge i know i have been.

Well have a fab week i know i will.Take care Kerry xx

The color room challenge #13

This is my take on the color room challenge i loved the colors this week.I have hand painted and color changed prima flowers and also made some crepe paper flowers and glimmer misted them too.I keep taking pics of my layouts crooked gosh i think i must go cross eyed when i photograph them.

And a few closeups.I have used my cricut again on this layout the swirls and the title were cut using the cricut.I even pulled the rose paper from the bottom of my paper stash it is and old basic grey paper from about three years ago.And of course i love this pic of Mikayla she looks so very happy here and her natural beauty just shines through.Biased mum here lol.If you are reading this thanks for visiting my blog have a great week.Take care Kerry xx
