Hey Hi Hello.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ao its been a while since I was here. After a promising start to scrappy this month life got very VERY busy. So busy in fact, that I finished and photographed this page over 2 weeks ago but am only just finding the time to post it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The layout features an all time favourite snap of Brenden and Jayce taken on his first birthday. </div>

Thanks for popping by.<br />
I am now going to frantically stick and glue on the page which has been almost complete on my scrap desk for over 2 weeks so that I can photo and post it by tonight.<br />
Wish me luck.<br />

Plus I stumbled across a brand new blog challenge that would do just that.<br />
But first things firsts. The layout.<br />

This page is a happy snap of my two crazy kiddies with their equally crazy Neanie (my mother).<br />
That new challenge blog I referred to is <a href="http://wordspaintery.blogspot.se/" target="_blank">Words & Paintery</a>. So new in fact, that this is their first ever challenge. <br />

Now the blog was a little light on exact details, but the idea is to embrace mixed media scrapbooking (something I don't often do and you know I like a challenge to be just that, a challenge). You are provided with colours and a word, as yet I am not sure whether the word is a technique to be used or a topic to be scraped (if the latter, woops).<br />

I have done a bunch of painting incorporating the three challenges colours, which I mixed myself from dyslusion inks blue yellow and white, using a Heidi Swapp heart stencil over and over. I also did some messy stamping with some Kaisercraft texture stamps.<br />

Every now and then I feel the need to make a page with more <i>meaning </i>then a happy snap. When that happens I head start to the <a href="http://onceuponasketchblog.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Once Upon A Sketch</a> challenge blog, they provide a sketch and a topic/prompt for journalling.<br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>

<span style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://onceuponasketchblog.blogspot.com.au/2014/11/november-challenge.html" target="_blank">Novembers challenge</a> prompt is 'inspiration'.</span>
<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">I split the journalling over two spots. The top is the more general, my usual, words about the who and what. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;">While the journalling lower down is more in depth words, although I still wrote them in a light-hearted humorous way, it talks about how my mum has inspired me as a mum.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;">The gorgeous fabric heart is from Charms Creations (who, btw, is having a sale on the facebook page atm) I think I also took some inspiration from the pages she creates with the washi tape, sting, and doily.</span></div>

I am hoping to keep at it and create a large number of pages this month. Also my usual but it <i>will </i>happen this time... I hope...<div>
Anyway. First up is a layout feature a new favourite photo of Jayce and myself.</div>
<div>

This page was created along with the <a href="http://whitewith1.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">WW1</a> <a href="http://whitewith1.blogspot.com.au/2014/11/a-sunshine-filled-challenge-colour.html" target="_blank">November challenge</a> which is 'freesia' or yellow.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I created the background using paint swatch samples of varying yellows collected from Bunnings. Even managed to find ones with appropriate colour names which were underlined/circled before stitching them onto white cardstock.</div>
</div>
<div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I matted the photo with both black and white cardstock to make it pop. Behind that I chopped up two sentiments from a Elle's Studio Cameron paper and layered them vertically with a few punched star boarder bits.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
Isn't that the cutest little square! The arrow points to Jayce btw.</div>
<div>
I scattered a few of the punched stars around for some added interest.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When stitching the colour swatches, one was missed to create a pocket for the tag which pulls out and has the journalling on it.</div>
<div>
I had planned on the 'a favorite photo of Jayce & Mummy' to be the title but felt it left a void in the middle of the polaroid frames, so added the another title too.</div>

It is a girl baby shower card. I wasn't sure what sentiment to use until I found my Chic Tags 'Cloud 9' goodies. I think "Goodness Me Oh My! - Fun Ahead" sums up whats coming pretty well.<br />

It took me an stupidly long time to get this bow right, but I think it was worth it.<br />
I added the fussy cut rattle to ensure my meaning got across.<br />

The lumpy boarder (the official name is escaping me atm) was created by punching small circles from 3 Bella Blvd papers, sticking them in a row then placing the car strip over one half of them.</div>

The stars and letters were also punched from the same papers. While the cupcake was fussy cut then backed on white and the 2 candle was cut free hand.<br />

<br />
I took inspiration for this page from the <a href="http://d-lishscraps.blogspot.com.au/2014/10/october-inspiration-board-challenge.html" target="_blank">October Inspiration Board</a> at <a href="http://d-lishscraps.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">D-Lish Scraps</a>, another first time participate for this month.<br />

<br />
I took a lot of inspiration form this one. First and foremost, the colours. I began the page by dripping a paint brush into the dylusions ink sprays green, pink and blue then added some spots of black too.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ2Yd1_iNJ86Hh2bl8Km95-QChwbxZOpBGRsQpiRosoP0kxxMugUHFmn9CSuSpobyFsnAYBxYuTFeJi0WTXXivN1PahnBiw2KCvzjF7sbMJR1mIlpYZTL6UVxC8QYS2NtMuBjofZqZnNE/s1600/P1020398.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ2Yd1_iNJ86Hh2bl8Km95-QChwbxZOpBGRsQpiRosoP0kxxMugUHFmn9CSuSpobyFsnAYBxYuTFeJi0WTXXivN1PahnBiw2KCvzjF7sbMJR1mIlpYZTL6UVxC8QYS2NtMuBjofZqZnNE/s1600/P1020398.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I did a quick round up of papers matching these colours and cut small strips laying them over the ink.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIsAJ1uPq_lE-eU86S2iPeYnAvXpjvm8MHEvMPnSpAdphV9EZcMc8w61163Sc7q4vVwf4HADaNgyGuMi0RXv5ootK4A55hudXHQAbTQveUEvrsvCSdmtmOYftLhODZLglEDTuN_TTsqaU/s1600/P1020396.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIsAJ1uPq_lE-eU86S2iPeYnAvXpjvm8MHEvMPnSpAdphV9EZcMc8w61163Sc7q4vVwf4HADaNgyGuMi0RXv5ootK4A55hudXHQAbTQveUEvrsvCSdmtmOYftLhODZLglEDTuN_TTsqaU/s1600/P1020396.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
I couldn't resist adding these sunnies after noticing some in the board too.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglvSKleLtNduA4amXDm1lzW37NzTdLbz_cpu69m-fzFh_uekFFVAc760BsnH5f-9ZxEhSt-xhB45U_CeJkHmATyygieRFXm9qJLFD1ZjBsIrj1Buhr8RlnVSQKqr3oosD-wiFuRtiw2Fc/s1600/P1020397.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglvSKleLtNduA4amXDm1lzW37NzTdLbz_cpu69m-fzFh_uekFFVAc760BsnH5f-9ZxEhSt-xhB45U_CeJkHmATyygieRFXm9qJLFD1ZjBsIrj1Buhr8RlnVSQKqr3oosD-wiFuRtiw2Fc/s1600/P1020397.JPG" height="260" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Next I took the title directly from the inspiration board, all-be-it a bit sarcastically.<br />
The washi tape down the sides could not be a more perfect match to the colour scheme.<br />
<br />

After quickly jotting down the story at the bottom. The page was down. Yay for quick satisfying pages.<br />

So I have been at it again and created another card. It really does feel good to give someone something you have created yourself. And these are by far my favourite type to give.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<br />
I was torn when I began this card. I wanted it to be bright (like always) but really wanted to use the dated looking thank you seal stamp. I finally found my answer in a super old Echo Park collection which was both of these things and I choose almost primary colour combo.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Armed with the above sketch from Nadine at My Scraps & More the card come together very quickly. I substituted the buttons for extra 'thank you' stickers because I am very very thankfully to this person.<br />
<br />

The photo was taken in December 2012 not long after I discovered that bub #2 (now known commonly as Jayce) was on the way. Chloe loved (at still does) caring for her babies, giving them bottles, cuddles and tucking them into 'bed'. I used this photo to document about her super nice/caring nature and our confidence that she was going to be a great big sister.<br />

I have once again taken on the <a href="http://whitewith1.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">White With 1</a> challenge, this time very happily as it is my favourite colour! Radiant Orchid aka purple!<br />
Although it seems that the wider scrapping community does not sure my love for it. Very few companies produce anything purple (I have actually emailed a few on this topic) and many blog scraps recently have mentioned their dislike for it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The hold up with this layout was not my usual issue, hesitation to cut the pretty paper, as it is mainly strips of scrap paper from various companies. It was the stitching. Although the papers were all purple they were many different tones and were in need of something to unify them. I decided on stitching which seemed like a simple yet effective solution, until my sewing machine decided to play silly-buggers on me.<br />
Hence most of the stitching was done by hand. Wow was it time consuming!<br />

Now that it is finally complete and my fingers have stopped bleeding hopefully I can quickly create some more layouts before the month is out.<br />

It just kept floating around my desk, getting moved to and fro, as I just wasn't 100% happy with it. To be honest I still feel that something might be missing.</div>

This month I discovered a new-to-me challenge blog, <a href="http://showusyourstuff.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Show Us Your Stuff</a>, which provides a piece of inspiration (sketch/mood board) and asks that you use a hand made item on the page. <a href="http://showusyourstuff.blogspot.com.au/2014/10/suys-october-challenge.html" target="_blank">Octobers challenge</a> is the sketch below.</div>

The journaling has been hand written with a white pen and tells the story of the nicknames and love from my aunt and uncle to my daughter Chloe. I thought it was about time I started scrapping the other people in my kiddos lives. Many of them are just as important if not more. And they are two extremely loved little people.<br />

The flower is an old blossom from Bella Blvd and all the papers are also Bella Blvd, the Family Forever collection, rather fitting hey.<br />

Thanks for popping in. Hope you like the page. I intend to create many more on Chloe and Jayces extended family, even the non related ones.<br />

After an enjoyable venture into the card making word, I am back with the usual, a bright layout of my kiddies.</div>
<h4 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our Lil Bub</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ-cggmdjpN-m-BFA1aBgQ5xKteXRu790D1dCoc5XEfmIxDc1aPbm2aHyKnoLFKgS1TtgG6e0GS2fi4-F-MXIzkpRqUAQNzwdopFmKeHRr4y815xOymjIRuK9b-bAQ136l_feueM6D3iI/s1600/P1020370.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ-cggmdjpN-m-BFA1aBgQ5xKteXRu790D1dCoc5XEfmIxDc1aPbm2aHyKnoLFKgS1TtgG6e0GS2fi4-F-MXIzkpRqUAQNzwdopFmKeHRr4y815xOymjIRuK9b-bAQ136l_feueM6D3iI/s1600/P1020370.JPG" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Surprise. Surprise. This layout has been inspired by a sketch. This time from <a href="http://scrapandplaychallenges.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Scrap & Play</a> a fairly new scrapbooking challenge blog. The challenges vary from colour combos, words plays and sketches. <a href="http://scrapandplaychallenges.blogspot.com.au/2014/10/scrap-play-challenge-11.html" target="_blank">Challenge #11</a> is the sketch below.<br />
<br />

<br />
For this layout I have used only Bella Blvd. 90% from the Molly collection. I was totally shocked to discover that I had not used ANY of it yet. Well that certainly had to be fixed!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirMskRUbd_T4S3fQl8c6xJCgW6LEjRw1hXkDOpM6_Lbek1onCaNJL54MD2FYL2bf-U6U1PEzdQCNx8U7PKDzInqieC3l24625KXJdoGTKkPD2z5zXnqhiObwYgcIBPH9LDVMuJeH4cWRU/s1600/P1020374.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirMskRUbd_T4S3fQl8c6xJCgW6LEjRw1hXkDOpM6_Lbek1onCaNJL54MD2FYL2bf-U6U1PEzdQCNx8U7PKDzInqieC3l24625KXJdoGTKkPD2z5zXnqhiObwYgcIBPH9LDVMuJeH4cWRU/s1600/P1020374.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I fiddled with different supplies to create the 'banners' behind the photo strip from the sketch, I considered paper strips, washi tape, flowers and finally decided on the feathers. Thought it was something new to try and had the perfect colours to match Chloes dress.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWSjD-oO9-jVxM6DT9YqBZ0SekW7awSxYs2HtFl-eiqSQr0HP6BgQKTDOMvaUAIlPpozqHU8Nw7Jd3yAIJwuzCKsMsNgMUfXx6NNdjeEJ7JpHMkeFc4unTOqUdjuZ-WElI5DAjFRec1_k/s1600/P1020372.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWSjD-oO9-jVxM6DT9YqBZ0SekW7awSxYs2HtFl-eiqSQr0HP6BgQKTDOMvaUAIlPpozqHU8Nw7Jd3yAIJwuzCKsMsNgMUfXx6NNdjeEJ7JpHMkeFc4unTOqUdjuZ-WElI5DAjFRec1_k/s1600/P1020372.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Also because of the dress I had to include at least one flower. The Baby Blooms from Bella Blvd where again just perfect for the page.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHrB_cECt_MIFYT-BMaQObpMiTPiyMzsM9JsQAbf46LVNKn4Ov11SY77H7X1U8J1aNUOWezRDt4txGwjtpyW6UR0bqyvKbeZIoQ0CYLy1DhKrCWs4DrJWTQqnlY1TLaoZXRDUEn-0fgak/s1600/P1020373.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHrB_cECt_MIFYT-BMaQObpMiTPiyMzsM9JsQAbf46LVNKn4Ov11SY77H7X1U8J1aNUOWezRDt4txGwjtpyW6UR0bqyvKbeZIoQ0CYLy1DhKrCWs4DrJWTQqnlY1TLaoZXRDUEn-0fgak/s1600/P1020373.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I didn't have a title in mind when I created the page, so it was a last minute. The 'everyday girl' die cut was again just what the page needed, as these are just photos of Chloe that I like.<br />
<br />

I have used a bunch of old Bella Blvd cardstocks for this one. Dark blue is not normally a colour I would use and did mean I had to decorate the inside too, but the effect is well worth it.<br />

<br />
The card started with the 'flower'. It is actually two layers of colourful hearts which I cut out using my aunties Cricut a very long time ago (I knew I would use anything heart shaped eventually).<br />
However I used so many colours in the flower I didn't leave any for the background, vellum to the rescue! I'm so glad it is coming back 'in'. I love the subtle effect it gives.<br />

<div>
Unfortunately yesterday I received some rather sad news which left me wishing I could do something, anything, to help. And unfortunately it is one of those situation where there isn't really anything you can do but just let the people know your there and thinking of them.</div>
<div>
So in the spirit of today, I decided to make a card.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFWELKtDvDNhnin_7xZEjIUJynSdZtFU0oyxUI78ZM0cMoq7noKGNy4qF1QzQ28UKPqEx0bfnXSndOD5sizhOMCGd8lymlvSUT00jA0afxwGyE6AjqhYBTHLiOwsfyyYxq5s6oY1Yttd0/s1600/P1020350.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFWELKtDvDNhnin_7xZEjIUJynSdZtFU0oyxUI78ZM0cMoq7noKGNy4qF1QzQ28UKPqEx0bfnXSndOD5sizhOMCGd8lymlvSUT00jA0afxwGyE6AjqhYBTHLiOwsfyyYxq5s6oY1Yttd0/s1600/P1020350.JPG" height="320" width="259" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I made this decision about 5 minutes before my chance to visit them. So reached for the internet to inspire me. I found this sketch at <a href="http://tracysscrappyhideaway.blogspot.com.au/2014/10/my-scraps-more-sketches-blog-hop.html" target="_blank">Tracey F's</a> blog for the <a href="http://myscrapsandmoresketches.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">My Scraps & More</a> <a href="http://myscrapsandmoresketches.blogspot.com.au/2014/10/world-card-making-day-blog-hop.html" target="_blank">WCMD Blog Hop</a>.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Armed with the sketch I merely rummaged through my scraps stash and the card was finished in a matter of minutes. I've used chevron patterned paper strips and washi tape all from Bella Blvd.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I do wish I took a little more care writing the sentiment and had I more time I probably would have outlined the strips with black pen. Oh well, next time.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I also put a strip of washi tape through the middle on the cards inside with positive quotes from Hazek & Ruby.</div>
<div>
The card is not perfect but I think it did its job. I hope to make more cards in the not too distant future! </div>

This post is going to be short and sweet with terrible picture quality for now. It is well past my bed time!<br />
Tonight I created my third ever double page layout of my two crazy kiddies on a shopping trip to Kmart. My previous two-pagers have had varying success, the first was certainly not a masterpiece, in fact I don't think I ever completely finished it, and the second was picked up and published in the American magazine Scrapbook and Cards Today.<br />

The photos are from a shopping trip to Kmart wear these beanies were just screaming to be worn! I couldn't help myself and popped one on each and snapped some quick pics. I am a very indecisive person so shopping trips can drag out a bit but doing silly lil things like this help keep the kiddos happy, well... tolerable.<br />
The title and journalling are more about shopping trips in general and other silly things I do to while they are in the trolley to ward off tears and tantrums.<br />
This page combines two sketch challenges.<br />

Can you see the resemblance? It was the Bo Bunny - Our Lil Monster 'Rawr' paper which married these photos with this sketch for me.<br />

I used only the Bo Bunny Our Lil Monsters collection for this page. I have wanted it since its reveal but could not find it until a holiday trip which just so happened to drive directly past a scrapbook store! Yay.<br />

Wait. What. Its only September. Who cares, this weather is gorgeous!<br />
<div>
I am again outside while the kiddies play lathered in sunscreen (they got my skin, poor lil things) on a perfect 30 degree day. And it is meant to stay this way the whole week! High five Mother Nature.</div>
<div>
Anyway. On to the business. Today I share a layout of Chloe back in April last year when she had her first full beach experience, she wasn't a fan...</div>

The page design is based on <a href="http://creativescrappers.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Creative Scrappers</a> <a href="http://creativescrappers.blogspot.com.au/2014/09/cs-sketch-277-reveal.html" target="_blank">sketch number 277</a>. To make it my own I switched triangle for shells.<br />

Meanwhile the inspiration to scrap this photo came from the <a href="http://sassyscrappers1.blogspot.com.au/2014/09/september-mood-board-challenge.html" target="_blank">September Mood Board</a> at the online store <a href="http://sassyscrappers1.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Sassy Scrappers</a>.<br />
I must confess, during our holiday to Mollymook two weeks I ago, I may have staged a photo or two with this scrappy challenge in mind (you know your a scrapper once that happens!) but couldn't stop thinking about the difference between her first time and now. So I thought it best to get that on paper asap.<br />
<br />

Unlike last months Sassy Mood Board entry <a href="http://craftsforchloe.blogspot.com.au/2014/08/i-love-you-sassy-scrappers.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>, this time I was inspired by the overall 'feel/topic' and mostly the top right image, such as the title.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
My partner loves terrible puns, so after reading the image words I couldn't help but make the title a play on words from the saying 'peachy keen'.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The quote on this PL card could not be more perfect because that is exactly what happened.<br />
With my continued effort to journal more I decided to write about both beach experiences that lend me to this page. I journaled the photo-relevant details in clear view onto the background itself.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am back again, currently sitting outside in the amazing sunshine typing while my kiddos play happily. This is why I hold onto my uni life and always buy laptops!<br />
I have today a layout of Jayce with a photo bomb from a not so familiar face, daddy. I really should start scrapping more photos of him with the kids but he is not a fan of being in front of the lens and some how manages to take a horrible shot 95% of the time...<br />

To create the page I have used only Bella Blvds Max collection. I love this collection! It was not love at first sight though. Originally I did not think I would get much use out of it but brought it anyway out of customer loyalty. Now four layouts later I still intend to use it again.<br />

The design for this page is based on the September 1st sketch at Stuck?! sketches which is currently celebrate its 1 year birthday. Ha-Ha-Happy Birthday!<br />
As is my style, I have kept very true to the sketch. However I did tweak it a little:<br />
Switching paint drops for fussy cut speech bubbles...<br />

This is a pic snapped before my kids first ever day at day care when I returned to work last year. Looking back I am still shocked that I was comfortable sending my kids (esp Jayce - soo young) but I was able to take them to work with me at an on-site childcare with a fantastic reputation. Anyway I won't harp on about the personal side of this, it could get very long and heated...<br />

It was the September <a href="http://scrapourstash.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Scrap Our Stash</a> <a href="http://scrapourstash.blogspot.com.au/2014/09/stash-challenge-18-back-to-school.html" target="_blank">Stash Challenge #18</a> that finally made me revisit this photo and finally create the page. As per the challenge I have used lined/ruled paper, chalkboard paper, pencil, alphas, apple, book and ruler.<br />

The layout of the page was based on the September Sketch at the Australian online scrap store <a href="http://www.annascraftcupboard.com.au/store/index.php" target="_blank">Anna's Craft Cupboard</a>.<br />

<br />
I stitched the fussy cut 'pocket' on to the page so that it can be used as a pocket and hide my long journalling about the day and my feelings and why I sent my kids to day care. It is on the day' card that pulls out and is hand written on both sides... I had a lot to say.<br />

I also fussy cut out the apple and books from Simple Stories Smarty Pants paper, in fact most of the page is from that collection.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Took a short break from scrapping for the last two weeks and enjoyed some rare family time. Brenden had a whole 6 days off! It was awesome and the kids LOVED having him around more!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Back to your usual viewing. I have a new scrap page to share.</div>

I have once again forced myself to partake in the <a href="http://whitewith1.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">White With 1</a> challenge for <a href="http://whitewith1.blogspot.com.au/2014/09/september-challenge.html" target="_blank">September</a> which is <a href="http://whitewith1.blogspot.com.au/2014/09/september-challenge.html" target="_blank">marshmallow</a>. I am certainly enjoying pushing myself with these challenges, it still feels soo foreign to me to use such limited colours!<br />
<br />

<br />
I also decided to push myself an extra step further as well this time, by including flowers. An embellishment that I have used in the past but am certainly not comfortable with.<br />

<br />
I am trying more and more to journal on my pages. A picture might tell a thousand words but certainly not the whole story! Normally on a page like this (where the picture is not an overly huge moment, merely just a photo I like) I would not include any because I didn't know what to say. So this time a wrote about the general type of photo rather then this specific one.<br />
<br />

This year it seems that Mother Nature has been away with the fairies a lil bit. The weather has been all over the place! For a few weeks, in the middle of winter there was glorious sunshine!! The kids and I took advantage of it as much as possible! And that is what this page is about.<br />

<br />
The layout of this page was inspired by the <a href="http://mycreativesketches.blogspot.com.au/2014/08/august-sketch.html" target="_blank">August Sketch</a> at <a href="http://mycreativesketches.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">My Creative Sketches</a>. I altered the sketch to suit better, for example just the one large photo, but I believe you can still see the it.<br />

I used the top semi circle to re-create the sun shine and lined it up with the glare in the photo itself.<br />

<br />
I thought about many different titles for this page. Originally I was going to scrap it just cause I liked it, but decided to create more of a story about the weather to add meaning, then the title was going to be "Summer (in blue letters) or Winter (in red letters)" hinting at the switch of weather, however I made a mistake and stuck down the WIN in blue first. So decided to let the colour of the letters do more talking then the words.<br />

I based this page on the <a href="http://scrap365.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/lets-get-sketchy_15.html" target="_blank">September sketch</a> at <a href="http://scrap365.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Scrap365</a>. There are so many reasons to love their challenges, the sketches are always fabulous with plenty of white space and an amazing prize on offer. Plus they start/end mid-month!</div>

For this sketch I have flipped it to better suit the photo.</div>

<span style="text-align: center;">When his hair is dry, Jayce has extremely straight hair which sticks very close to his head, we call it the Lego man do. But we discovered when wet it can be styled heaps of fun ways! Although it goes right back to Lego-man once dry. I have journalled about this in bottom right.</span></div>

I sometimes check out the company blogs of the collections I have for tips/ideas. On Friday the Bella Blvd blog showcased two layouts using this 'lookin' good' tag. Made me want to use mine asap. I added the fox sticker next to it to hint at looking foxy.</div>

There are many layouts that I wanted to do this month but simply ran out of time, darn life, sometimes it just gets in the way =P<br />
This page goes back almost exactly a year to Jayces 2 month b'day.<br />

I have had these photos printing for a loooong time, well since Jayce was 2 months old. Good ol' faithful <a href="http://scraptheboys.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Scrap The Boys</a> challenge blog finally kicked my butt into gear with the <a href="http://scraptheboys.blogspot.com.au/2014/08/august-challenge-profiling.html" target="_blank">August challenge</a> to 'profiling'.<br />

I have profiled Jayce at this age in two places. A Fancy Pants tag which hangs near the title holds the very basic general baby details. While a card that slides behind the photo holds more personal traits (apparently I forgot to photo it out, will do and add it soon) such as likes bath, loves food, hates sleep... etc<br />

All the papers are from Websters Pages super adorable 'Hello World' collection. To create the back ground I began with white cardstock and cut it down to size, then cut strips and edge punched a few before layering them and trimming ends.<br />

The '2' from the title is also the 2 that is in the pictures. I did consider painting it but thought by leaving it natural the link between the two 2's would be more apparent.<br />
