New Layouts - Pt 2

I love this picture of R running in the waves... Love Love Love her expression so i had to blow it up big big :) and really liked how it turned out.
Used a mix of Websters, Hambly and MME here...

Scrapped this while waiting for R to finish her dance class so had to make do with whatever i brought :) Great challenge for me since i usually need to have ALL my supplies around when i scrap.
Wanted a more pared down colour scheme but couldn't resist the dash of bright red :)
Butterfly was inked with brilliance copper, lime green and gold inks, and glittered at edges.




Pool Babes
A quick layout done of the girls in their favouritest sunday activity - frolicking by the pool.


Thanks for dropping by !

New Layouts - Pt 1

These were some layouts i had completed in the run-up to Clarisse's birthday - rushing to get that whole year's worth of memories scrapped :)

Strike a Pose
- using the ohhhh sooooo sweet Urban Prairie line with a mix of Sassafras Lass and some lace.


Dance Baby Dance
the pix were awful as i had to capture them from outside the studio mirror - but how could i resist that tiniest cutest dancer ?? i'm biased, of course :P
Used a mix of various bellies from K&Co, American Craft, Cosmo Cricket (rubons), Prima (bling), Urban Prairie (butterfly and border) and Hambly dotted transparency strip beneath...

more layouts coming up in next post...

Clarisse is 4 !

A blue and pink theme

With polka dots to add some groove
She had a blast

She didn't want the party to end, my little C
Clung on to me, and refused to play the last game
Upset it was coming to a close ....

Here are some sneaks of the party

the birthday Gal

Elated..

Say Cheese !


Games..

The gorgeous cake

Yums....


Goodie bags ...

Thanks again to all our dear friends who took the trouble to drive all the way to make C's day, and the awesome photography skills of my friend P who captured the most amazing shots .... you're just a gem !!

Personalised Diaries

Today was C's last day of school. As farewell gifts, i bought some 2009 diaries and personalised the covers for them. Was really fun to do, and they loved it :)

a memorable lunch

My kakis simply outdid themselves .... I was overwhelmed and a total basket-case !! Thanks so much ladies, you've made my year !! Hubby is now fretting cos' he says he you've set the standard too high !!! hahahaha !!

A little this and that...

Feeling a little reflective lately, so did this. All papers by Scenic Route.

It's been a busy couple of days lately with preparations for Clarisse's birthday under way - making invites, her birthday banner, and all the goodies for the goodie bags. So fun ! And C has been such a great help too - pasting buttons and the bling. Will post pix once her bday is over so as not to spoil the surprise for our guests :P

For those keen on children's drama - there's quite a few coming up. We managed to catch Wizard of Oz over the last weekend, and the girls really enjoyed it, though i found it too long. So now both can hum 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' fairly decently - must go get my hands on a CD soon...

Also there's Eric Carle's Hungry Caterpillar and Tooth Fairy coming up. Both promise to be excellent so go get your tix soon !

a little piece of good news

Yeah... i won the October challenge over at Groovie ! Can't wait for my prize to arrive :)

What a wonderful surprise to come home to today in between a really packed Sunday. Thanks so much to the girls over at Groovie. Do check them out and play along cos their challenges are too fun :)
