Our little angel


Our little angel i couldn't resist using these wings from the collections range aren't they the cutest.Mikayla is still wanting to be a fairy and fly so i done this layout for her.She said oh mummy they are beautiful. And check out the little love birds also from this range so cute.
Also the pretty paper from Websters along with the prima stamps and flowers.
I am loving all these brands.

And a layout i have done from the wedding.One of the bridesmaids Tess for short altered this pic and emailed it too me thanks Tess Pauls.She loves photography and editing pics.So Tess if you are reading this leave me a message.
It really does take on a cartoon affect.And a mixture of brands here Tattered angles glimmer mist ,Heidie Swapp stamps Prima stamps,Websters and graphic 45.I really still struggle with boy layouts they are just hard to embellish.Anyway I'm off to bed have a great weekend every one.Take care Love Kerry xx

Our Treasure with her wedding dress on

Travis and Carla gave Mikayla this dress for the wedding even though she couldn't"t go.When she seen it for the first time she said oh it's beautiful can i wear my wedding dress.I have been promising her since i got back that we would dress her up in and take some pictures.

Butter wouldn't melt in her mouth but we know different.

And this last pic i just love of her.She truly does look like an angel and i love her so much that some days i just want to cuddle her so hard that i would break her.She misses her brother heaps and talks about him often.We are lucky that he does ring us on skype so she can chat to him.There is nothing like having a big brother and it is nice to think he cares enough for her that he stays in regular contact with her.She can't wait for him and Carla to one day come back to Adelaide on the big plane.So Travis and Carla these pics are for you guys.Take care Love Mum xx

A couple more layouts for the week.


I love this pic of Mikayla and she loves climbing trees.Also lately she has been saying she wants to be a fairy and fly and gets quite upset when she wakes up and she isint.lol
I have done the color room challenge for this page.There is a mix of glimmer mists prima stamps and cricut swirls and i hand wrote and cut the title out.Also i love the little birds and birdhouse from collection's i have covered and inked these.Some of there new stuff is adorable.


And Travis waiting to go to the church.The photographer came to the hotel and missed us so i then took quite a few pics of the boys together.More to be scrapped many many more lol.

I think the Webster's really matched this picture also stamps from prima and the kaiser craft clock stamp.

I think that the new release stamps from prima have been my favourite so far.And of course some glimmer misting too.I have hndcut the title on this layout too.

Three more for the week.

Travis looking at his wife coming down the isle and yes there is a tear in his eye.I pulled the papers from my stash i think they would have to be at least three years old tee hee.

The color room challenge for this week amazing two boy layouts nearly unheard of for me.

And finally got a chance to use Webster's pages papers i just loved this range.And of course Carla looks stunning too.
So if you have dropped by to have a look leave a comment i would love to hear from you.And thankyou so much to my regular followers that do come and say hi.Take care Kerry xx

A mini album made with prima. This was the perfect paper and i really enjoyed the process.

For anyone that reads my blog regularly you would know that Travis got married last year to Carla then he left for England to start his new life.I have made this album for them so they can keep those memories.I really put my heart into this as i wanted them to have something from me that they could always keep and cherish.
I will be giving them this album on there wedding day in England as that will be the English wedding and this is there Australian wedding.I am glad that i have been a part of both and wish then all the best for the future together.
I'm pretty sure they don't read my blog.Well i will hopefully post from over there at some stage as i will be at Travis's for a few days and i can steal his laptop.
Wish me luck on my huge flight not looking forward to that part.And i will chat real soon take care Kerry xx

Easter Monday


Well back to reality tomorrow and it is work for me and a very busy week too.I have started to pack my suitcase that is going to be a challenge in itself.I really don't have loads of thick clothing so i will just have to manage with what i have got.
The first page was inspired by the prima stamps and also the colours of the flowers.So it was out with the glimmer mist with this.And i used the prima stamps as well.I have loved every stamp that i bought from the latest release.You can buy them at scrap with v if there are any left now.Also she has quite a few beautiful flowers to buy too.
The second page was inspired by these pics i think i took about 20.It was so hard only scrapping 3.I think i will have to scrap another page with some more.Mikayla was so funny this day she was busting out all these wacky moves and i couldn't help but chuckle.And i just love this Martha Stewart punch too.
Well i am now down to five sleeps getting even more nervous.I think i will try and scrap tonight as my mind is in overdrive at the moment.At least that makes me relax.Have a great night and i think i might post again before the end of the week.

Happy Easter Sunday


This is what i have been up to last night.This is for Travis's in laws i am taking it framed to England.Travis snuck on there computer and emailed me the pic so i could scrap it.It looks a little crooked that's cause i photographed it crooked oops.This new prima range is just so good to work with gotta love it.

Well starting to get really nervous now only 6 more sleeps and then i will be on the plane to England.I have done a plan up for Colin so he has what he needs to take Mikayla where she has to go while I'm away.



Mikayla has been sick over the weekend too so it hasn't been a great weekend for us.She has had a really hi temp and is now coughing with like a croup sounding cough.Sleeping on daddy's lap yesterday afternoon.She slept from about 3.00 pm yesterday till 5.45 this morning in between medicine for her temperature.

Well i hope to scrap another page tonight i have a couple of ideas floating in my head and i have so many photos to scrap.I feel like i will never ever keep up with them.And with Harvey Normans 10 cent prints at the moment you gotta love that.

Well i might get a chance to do another post before i leave next weekend if not have a great few weeks and i will try and blog post while I'm away.take care love Kerryxx

A challenge completed.


For a change i thought i would do a challenge.I have done this for a cybercrop challenge you had to use red,black and white and a touch of orange.Also a monogram letter and the word priceless.It was over at Bon's scraps and the lovely Bon set the challenge.
I managed to use some glimmermist and also some stamping and really enjoyed doing something different.Notice i still snuck some prima goodness on it lol.
I have fallen in love with the prima music stamps and also the stamp with the writing on it which i stamped the butterflies with.
Vanessa from SWV has them there for sale so reasonably priced too.

I have a couple of commitments that i must finish 3/4 done on one and not much left of the other.Sometimes it is just nice to scrap just for yourself.Last week i managed to do that.
Well only two more Saturday's and then it is up up and away.

So scary doing it on my own.But I'm sure it will be great fun my only wish is that Col and Mikayla could have come along too.But with the expense we could only send me.Plus Mikayla has only started school this year so we don't want her missing to much of it.

Not sure how much i can get access to a computer while i'm away if i can i will try and post a small post.I will also tey and scrap a bit over the next week otherwise i will have serious withdrawls.Have a wonderful week and take care Love Kerry xx

A disco Friday and the beach today.

In her new clothes ready to dance at the disco.

Friday night before the disco she was so excited to go to her first blue light disco at school.When we got there she wouldn't leave my side.It took her about 20 minutes to get off my leg then she danced all the time she was there.

It was like watching something out of the movies.Mikayla was running towards me from being in the water.I think she looked so cute she was oblivious to everything.

This pic was taken today also she was being a pain two minutes before this saying i only want you to take one picture.

And Mikayla also got her dance report from ballet this weekend it was really good.She is progressing well in her dancing but very shy with her singing but getting there.She had a really big smile on her face when we read her report card.
Tomorrow is parent interviews at school so i hope they are good too.She seems to be able to charm everyone.lol.Have a great week everyone and don't forget Bons cyber crop Tuesday night.
Take care Kerry xx
