Get Picky Sketch #2

Here's my entry for Get Picky's Sketch #2. Great sketch - once I had FINALLY chosen what papers to use (that took ages) I had the LO put together in a matter of minutes :-)

I used a mix of older Sassafras papers, and of course some of my Martha Stewart butterfly punches ;-) I've inked the edges of all the papers and butterflies with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. Photos are from last years holiday (of course!). AND I am going to add a disclaimer to the title ... they are only adorable some of the time hehee

Thanks for visiting.

1 October!

Wow only 3 more months and we'll be on the countdown till Christmas!  How scary is that?!!

.

This afternoon the kids and I went to the playground, Aaron spent some time riding his bike and for some reason feels he has to keep watching that the wheels are going around!

Maddison ran round all over the place and then I caught her splashing in the fountain ... and ...

leaning right in to drink it!  Ewwwwew how disgusting!

Aaron did another usual and decided to walk all around the ledges ...

But he's not quite as clever as he thinks he is heheheee (good job he still had his helmet on LOL)

And these frangipani's were peeking out ... always makes me smile.

And I actually did some creating today!  :-)  I tried very hard to sign up to do this challenge for the month of October - LOAD (LO A Day).  But I had serious problems with paypal ... lets just say I am cross (very cross!) with them!  So in the end I decided I would just do it on my own bat just to see if I could.  I won't be loading up my LO's to the LOAD flickr gallery and I won't be eligible for any prizes (but that's okay because do I really need more scrap stash?  LOL)

I got out this 5x7 pic of Maddison crawling in a tunnel at one of the many playgrounds she enjoyed while we were in NZ and my Sassafras papers and pulled this together (also added some felt flowers, AC thickers, Making Memories velvet ribbon, crochet heart from Kinda Sweet & and a lady bug button :-) !)

Close up of heart and lady bug :-)

Scrap the Girls September Challenge

Decided since I did the challenge for 'Scrap the Boys' I'd do one for 'Scrap the Girls' and seriously - how could I not do it with the all about shoe theme!!!  (yet more photos from our holiday heheee)

.

You had to draw inspiration from the picture and also have a quote/saying/title about shoes.  Well to be honest the only inspiration I got from the picture was the height of the heels!!

I used Sassafrass paper, cut off borders/trims (whatever you all them), and paper whimsies, Making Memories alphas (which I won and thought I would never use!!), Prima flowers, not sure whose the pompom trim is, but its nice :-), little heart clip I got in a kit from Paper Pesto yonks ago and most appropriately a little pair of high heel shoes charm :-)  Cute aye!  They are from Kinda Sweet.

Dig the heels!

So, now that my list of challenges is nearly completed for this month (I have one more that's stamping orientated I want to participate in) I can get motivated (hopefully) and finish some of those mini albums ... I did the easy one first!  So 8 more to go.  LOL

Thanks for looking.
