I love the school holidays

Especially the days were we get a little bit of spring sunshine and Chocolate the cat and I get to stretch out on the grass and enjoy the warmth and gorgeous spring colours. And because there is not as much rush I get to play in my scrap nook.

Made this for the Pink Pixie monthly challenge. Although I love the papers and their vintagey collagey look they are not something I traditionally would work with. I am so not a collage girl, not that I don't love the look of it it's just so not me so I went with my linear style and hoped for the best.

the vintage camera I stamped down the side are not showing up too well, black is such a difficult colour to photograph.

And last but not least a cute little card for a cute friends birthday last week, happy birthday Sandie. We helped her celebrate with bubbles and cake, not sure who enjoyed that more, hehe.

Just sayin' hi

And sharing a couple of things I have done. The first one, a layout of Seamus, from a photo I took a couple of weeks back when we home for a few days. The boys loved being back on their old stomping ground. This is the beach that Seamus took his first steps on, totally naked toddling around on the sand. His brothers of course had to tease him and ask for a reenactment,he he, all in fun though, of course he wouldn't submit to their idea. They had the best time in the winter sunshine, it was actually warm enough for me to take off my coat and the boys to strip down to Tshirts.
Paper is Bo Bunny with just a bit of Cosmo Cricket (the fish, so happy when the colours coordinated)Bo Bunny stickers, Brad maker from Imaginisce and paper clips are from Tim (Mr creative himself) Holtz. Font is Task list form 2 peas. All products except for the brad maker and font are from Sandie and Jane's shop Pink Pixie and I'm sure if you asked nicely enough the girls might even look into getting you one, he he, theyare a very cool tool. The second project is a quick card I made for my boss' birthday a couple of weeks ago. Stamps, ledger and background-Hero arts, the date-making memories magnetic date set and the greeting is PTI. The cardstock and ribbon is also PTI, rhinestones-Kaiser and the felt from spotlight cut with cuttle bug and bosscuts dies.

Yesterday we spent at the leagues best and fairest medal count. Joe came in fifth overall which was a great effort. He was also selected for the all stars team which is an on paper thing only, selected after a carnival played in Horsham a few weeks back. It is chosen out of four leagues, so not a bad effort to be placed in the top 24 of roughly a thousand kids across two states. We were impressed anyway.Footy finals start this weekend so a busy few weeks coming up.

Cheers.
