20 weeks...

All is going well as we reach the halfway mark in my pregnancy, baby is growing at a steady rate and after another ultrasound we have discovered that inside my growing belly is another boy :) it did come as a bit of a shock, as I was pretty sure we were having a girl this time because the pregnacny has been so different but it appears that I am destined to have boys and just have to go with it ;) and as you can imagine my boys are thrilled that they have another brother on the way.

Here is a little peek of our baby boy :) from the ultrasound

I'm loving my growing belly which is getting nice and big and I've even started to feel lots of steady kicking inside
and I just had to share a pic of these adorable and very tiny shoes we bought the other day that make me smile every time I look at them because they are just sooooo cute :)

A bit of everything...

Firstly some wonderful news... in case you haven't heard I am thrilled to announce that I've made the Scrapbooking Memories Masters Shortlist!!!! Thanks so much to all the lovely people who have sent their congrats :) It's such an honour to be chosen among so many talented scrappers - Congratulations to everyone and best of luck for the top 10!

and speaking of SM magazine I have some cards featured in this month's awesome pink issue

although I'm not quite sure how the card in the front ended up being photographed the wrong way around... but you get the idea ;)

I also have some Christmas cards and tags to share featured in Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine

Onto other news I have decided to cut down on some of my scrapping commitments due to my pregnancy, and this will be my final layout for Remember When - I think a layout featuring our first ultrasound pics was an appropriate way to finish up lolI will continue on with the Aussie Dares challenges, although these might not be as regular. Here is my layout for this month's I wish challenge...I am also going to be finishing up with One Little Aussie Word challenges, but will still be doing DT work for Scraptapestry - yay :)

and last but not least, check out the awesome goodies I won over at Vita's blog right in time for Xmas :)

Take care and have a fabulous weekend!!!

I'm back...

It's been a while between posts due to an endless amount of computer and Internet issues - and to cut a long story short... we've had to buy a new computer along with a new modem/router so fingers crossed things will finally be sorted out now!

I wanted to say a huge thanks to everyone who has been leaving me congrats and well wishes both here and on facebook :)

I have been feeling a lot better now that the morning sickness has settled, although I think I may have discovered a whole new past time - napping ;) which is how I seem to fill every afternoon lately.

On the scrapping front, I will be back tonight with some Scraptapestry layouts to share along with a giveaway... so stay tuned! but in the meantime I have a layout to share using these cute RW mushroom lasercuts for the Remember When blog

I've also been making some trees for the Scrap the Boys embellishment swap

and my first attempt at inchies for The Scrapbook Establishment inchies swap with a spring theme

Thanks for stopping by and I will be back tonight with details of the Scraptapestry giveaway

Swaps...

I've been at it again - yes I signed up for a few more swaps, I just can't seem to help myself with these things ;)

I've only completed one of them so far, which was the Vintage Girls Embellishment swap at Scrap the Girls, not because I really do many vintage pages, and come to think of it it wasn't because I really do many girl pages either... I think I signed up for this one just so I could make something pretty lol and this is what I came up with
I also put my name down for the trees/clouds swap at Scrap the Boys and an inchies swap at The Scrapbook Establishment, and if you happen to know of any other cool swaps happening... let me know :)

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great weekend planned

Basically bazzill...

I didn't get a chance to put these up last week, but I've got a couple of layouts to share that I did for Remember When focusing on Bazzill cardstock, and although I did end up sneaking in a little bit of patterned paper into both layouts - using mainly cardstock was not as easy as you'd think ;)

This first layout was made using the August colour inspiration pack
and this one created for the sketch challengeI went for a really basic design for this one, but added some interest by making this cut out tree design to frame the photo.
