My first of many little boy layouts to come

Here is pa and Lachlan.

Mikayla looking pretty happy with herself.She loves giving him kisses
And of course so do i.

Mikayla's day care mum took this pic its just so natural.

This is my first layout of many to come i'm sure.I will have to take photos of Lachlan as Carly very rarely takes any pics of anyone or anything .This was a really cute pic of him he is so tiny and turned one week today.

A baby is born Lachlan Brady Tee

To carly and Jason a big congratulations on the birth of Lachlan your first child how special for you.Lachlan was born at 2.29pm Thursday .He weighed 6 lb -7 and a half ounces.Mother and baby are doing very well and Nanny is just fine too.You never think that your children will grow up but when you see them giving birth to your grandchild it is an amazing experience.I am very proud of my daughter and her husband they have produced a gorgeous baby boy.

I was very privileged to be a part if this beautiful baby's arrival safe and sound.Thankyou so much Jason and Carly for allowing me to be apart of his birth.It was hard to keep my emotions at bay while Carly delivered but i was brave lol trying to cope with seeing someone in that amount of pain is heartrenching, when you can't take that pain away for them.Not that i ever want to feel that pain myself again.

I was going to be called Nanna,but i have now decided to be called nanny as he allready has a few nanna's ,4 great nanna's and then two nanna's i think it will confuse him lol.So i became nanny as of today.

Carly done an amazing job giving birth i think she surprised herself.She is still having blood pressure issues ,hopefully that will come down in a few days once everything comes down to earth.

I have so many pics of him allready so move over Mikayla i have boy pages to be scrapped.

Well thats all for now congrats again Carly what an amazing mum you will be.Love you heaps and to my darling grandson you will be loved so much too.love nanny.xxxxx
All cleaned up and ready for the world out there.
A very proud nanny.

And the parents.

A few pics to share and a couple of layouts

Well here is a pic of me, Carly and my mum.The fourth generation is only a couple of weeks away now.How exciting.

And of course the little miss M again.I sat and procrastinated for about an hour before i finally got started and finished this layout Friday night,except for the journal ling i done that today. And i learn't how to do flocking thanks Janine for the play flocking is fun or is it called frocking hahaha.It is great will have to do more of this.

And if you are wondering what these pics are about .We went on a trip to Drover"s run the other day here is drovers.It was fabulous the scenery was fantastic.I had a fab day too .

This is from the top of the hill at drovers run isn't it magical.

And of course i got to meet these two lovely girls one is Kelly from getaway and the other is Grace from Mcleods daughters they are both really sweet.

And here are the stars from Mcleods daughters aren't the guys just hunky lol. Shame they were not all there i guess meeting one was as good as it gets as the show is sadly finishing soon.Oh what am i going to do Wednesday nights now.Let me think scrapping lol.

And of course more pics of M.I don't know what she is doing here but she can't help herself lately pulling faces and doing all these silly poses

And sitting on a fence in the Barrossa Valley i love the scenery up there.

Nearly the start to another week

I have had this on my scrap desk for a week wanting to finish it then finally this morning i found some things from my very old stash and used them.Like rubons that i haven't used in forever.I have done a little bit of machine stitching as well which takes time.I love this Heidi grace paper they have this range at Scrapbook Station at Gepps Cross if anyone one is interested in it.I also used the Maya road little bug isn't he adorable. Now for a couple of layouts that i did before my computer took sick

Isn't this pic adorable she loves this dolly i took this when she was sleeping.


And of course my very own dancing queen.Mikayla dances all the time she is always twirling and spinning everywhere.She loves watching so you think you can dance saying i can do that.

Also i will be teaching at scrapbook station over the next couple of months.Thanks Janine and Karen for this opportunity.I will be teaching to pages in one session,concentrating on more the older male pages,and a a little bit of action as well.And a couple of girl pages too.I have incorporated stitching machine and hand for a little bit of a challenge.

Well that's it for me for now i hope that you all have a fab week i'm sure there will be another update before the weeks out.Take care Love Kerry xx

Finally back and full steam ahead

Madelin and mikayla together they are too cute don't you think.I think they look like sisters here.

This layout was done along time ago i haven't shared it before as i just found it in my scrap room.

A cheeky shot of my little miss.And she sure is a free spirit in more ways than one.

Well thats all for now sorry for the two posts but do you think i could get the first post to work not on your nelly.Pretty well sums up my day today.It started this morning and i have had a crappy day all day.So i'm off to bed now maybe tommorow will be better i hope so.Have afab rest of the week.

Busy week

First of all it started at the beginning of the week,I went an visited Kate and her four girls for a play date on Tuesday.That was great and boy the twins are really big i can't believe that her girls are now six months.They have all been a little bit sick a cold and one of the girls were hospitilized on Wednesday.Get well soon Chelsea.

Then i took a trip to Barmera to spend a day with Belinda and her two children.I ended up staying for two days.Col was away so i had nothing to be home for.I scrapped five layouts and a off the page book.So that was certainly a good trip when you do this many.Belinda got four done.

Thanks so much again Belinda for you hospitality and i'm sure the kids had a great time playing as well.I got back Friday morning went and done some food shopping.Friday night it was off to Janines for more scrapping i managed to half finish a double layout 8.5 x 11 ,it is still sitting on my desk to be finished.

Thanks Janine i had a great time chatting the time flew i didnt get home until about 1.20pm so that was a big night.

Yesterday Carly was over and we managed to nearly finish her baby shower invites.She was complaining about threading ribbon i threaded a few for her then sent the rest home with her to do.They came up well,i have never made invites so a first for me.Now to share my layouts and a pic of my mini book.Have a great week everyone.
Gotta love that face don't you we see this often.She was actually saying oh no,even though it looks like she is going to cry she wasn't.Dont you just love this paper i do the four layouts three below and this one were using papers from the urban Lily collection.Thanks to Belinda she had won these from a comp at SM and kindly donated some to me.I had the perfect photos to go with the red black and white ones.Thanks again Belinda for the papers they were really handy and i loved the end results.My mini book miss M there are a variety of pics from our day out at the River Torrens Adelaide little miss just loved it.This is another lot of urban Lily paers and Belinda took the pics for me and edited them as well.Great photos don't you think.This last one was the last of the paper that i used.The pic was taken by Belinda and edited by her too.Then all i had to do was the layout lol.I hand drew the little tree branches and the scallopped shapes came from Belinda's stash.The idea of oval trees like this came from an old copy of sm.But between Belinda and i we came up with our own version.

Well this was a huge post so i'm off now.will chat soon.take care love Kerryxx have agreat week.

My layout for Scrapbook Station

Just an update on my scrapping,Janine from Scrapbook Station has asked me to join there dt .Thanks Janine it would be an honour and more so that it is a store here in Adelaide that i have always gone to since we came bcak here to live.


This is the layout that i have done for the shop at scrapbook station.It is using the new noteworthy papers. I will be dropping this layout off tommorow.

Here we are again

Wow hasnt the last week flown.I have been busy making cards.So far i have made 50 for the week. Plus a single layout as well as a double 8.5 x11 this was different for a change.


Also i have worked three days for Toll Tasmania as a temp.They were lovely blokes too so that always helps when you have to go to work.

A very old pic of Mikayla i just love this old fashioned car that my sister owns so does Mikayla.She still gets in it whenever we go to her Auntie diddies.Thats what Mikayla calls her her name is Vicki.She can say Vicki but dosen't.

Also i would like to thank Steph for her temp plate of the tree.It is a great design and i loved using it.And those very cute mushrooms are from buzz and bloom.Another pic from our photo shoot last week .The colours look wrong here it is a better green irl.Last of all a pic of Mikayla in her Dora hat isint it cute,also her Dora Trackie she just loves it.A lady at the shop today said to her oh Dora can you speak Spanish.Mikayla said i'm not Dora i'm Mikayla i had to laugh she was talking about her hat and clothes.That hat went on this morning at 8.00 am and it never came off all day until tonight at about 4.30 pm.I"m guessing she likes it.

Nothing much else happening at this stage.Getting closer to being a nanna again not long now.
Have a great rest of the week take care Kerryxx

I only have eyes for you

I really got inspired to scrap one of the pics so here is one of them.I also got some great buzz and bloom things in the post from Charmane they were adorable,the journalling stamp.also the the little heart with a tiny bird sitiing inside of it.Along with the tiny flowers that you can not see to well here on the bottom of the pic.Till next time catch you all soon take care love Kerry.

some pics of the little miss.

Well after seeing http://jolenepienaar.blogspot.com/ pictures that she had taken of katie i decided that i might take some of Mikayla using the same sort of idea.I had some fabric here rolled up.I thought that would do for the experiment.I laid the fabric over a park bench that we have out the back.Then i just started taking shots with my little model here

.

I have used photoshop on the images with actions colour boost on all of them and burnt edges on a couple.With these actions it really brightened the photos up.Thanks Janine for the tips.

That was done after a very frustrating around five hours trying to workout how to upload these new actions to my photoshop.Even a call to Belinda totally frustrated with a can you please help never helped.It is hard when you don't have the computer in front of you.She told me to go away and come back.So i did i went and made lunch for the little miss and i baked beans on toast.

Came back played around with it a bit more then someone must have been watching over me as i finally fluked the uploads.Don't ask me how i did it as i have no idea.lol i really can be a computer der.Yes Belinda i know i can hear you now saying just go in there and play.Well play i did lucky the screen never got something thrown at it.lol

Thanks again Jolene for your inspiration and having such a fabulous imformative blog.I think it is great that so many of the girls that i know threw scrapbooking are willing to share some of there little tricks.It really does help.
