BoBunny Everywhere!!

Huge hello Everyone : D
Hope your all enjoying a fun filled weekend  : D
Now i'm feeling the heat as it is warming up in Busselton the past two days have been a real Summer slap
in the face! i for got how much i hate the heat!! lol i really can't concentrate
and just to bothered and find all i want to do is lay down on the bathroom
tiles...lol so my scrappen has been put aside and i'm feeling a little empty.....werid?!
Anyway i pushed myself the other day when Ash was at Kindy to complete they Bobunny Challenges

So you know me i can't go past a great sketch chalklenge, i just love this Sketch that Bobunny 
had up for the Friday sketch challenge : D
                                                                 How totally Joy is this sketch!!!
 How can't you give it a go?!
so i dived into my Bobunny papers and came up with
the Might Muffin Boy layout using Bobunny collection Calypso Dream




I tried a new techiniqe for myself, the pleaded boarder around the circle...i was suprised how easy it was
and i really love the effect, i'm thinking i my do it with a braket or something....hhmmm

Anyway the next Bobunny challenge was little more difficult cause the papers i wanted to use i had
bugger all! I wanted to use the Bobunny Peacock Lane collections cause my fav colours are green and purple! so the challenge was to so a layout about yourself....so my style to this challenge is how i love the Bush, i have never scrapped about how i miss this part of my life, now that i live beside the sea and very rarly get to go bush...only when treasure hunting with the kids, so i wanted to capture how i feel when i'm in the bush...the magic, the way i find peace and my myself in the sweet nature.....aaarrrhhh
so with a lot of "Wish i had more of this paper!" i came up with this layout
"A Small peace of Me belongs Here"





 So now i'm back home after a lovely day at my parents and the beach early this moring, i think i can steal away and get into a few challenges set by Scrap threapy!
Cause they are holding their last Cyber CRop for the Year so pop over if  you need the inspiration like myself..lol
Even though i need more time..lol which they give you too! the Due date for the challenges are the
26th of Nov so thats a cool week! sweet! i've got to get at least a couple done*cross my finger*
Well enough nattering i must go find the paper to suit my photos : D

Just a little creative

Hello everyone!!
SO we have re- claimed my scrap space and Justin, sadly went to work today with a face like a smacked bottom : ( poor darling, i really understand the "i don't want to!" but he is an absolute hun for letting me
be a SAHM for the very short and perious years we have with our kids.
So feeling a little down with justing here i swung into the kitchen and started Baking!
so after a couple of hours i came out with a batch of Peanut choc chip cookies
and a load of Vegi Sausage rolls!

Then finishing off my coffee i sat down to do this Card with Basic Grey Challenge blog in mind with the theme being "wings"


I instantly thought of Deb's Creations Newest Stamp line that is only avalible at Debs!
the Emerald Fairies 


so i used the cute little stamp Boo and sookie!
along with Basic Grey Marrakech 6x6 pad (oh how i love 6x6 pads!)


So this i hope is a start to a very productive day!
*cross my fingers*
next i've got to get Ash speech path game ready so we can work on describing things and guessing
sort of like a guess who but with toys!
then no doubt with the sun shining i think down the park for some fresh air and inspiration!
...i think i better get ready!!..lol
Happy scrappen lovelies!
Hope your day is filled with creativity!
even if it's just creating a mess with the kids : D
{HUGS}

Oh before i forget on a side note, Scrap therapy is holding their last Cyber crop for the Year this 
weekend, come pop over and see the gals and get your creative juice stirred!! i'll
be there popping in and out and no doubt you'll understand why! : D

boarders..lol 

Next up i just had to try my hand at this sketch challeng from A2ZScraplets 


I just love their chipboard creations!!
so i thought about time to break one out on a layout!!




I did add a bit extra to the sketch to balance out my photo
"Just Breath Deep"

Called Adventures for Young and Old, it is a blog all about the place we go on Saturdays
as a family My Dad, my Mum, Myself and My Boys!

and reveiw it! about the playground, food, wine and if it really is any point going!
so now our fun weekends have now grown into another fun Hobby!!
I'm thinking this is just so awesome to share our Adventure with everyone and if we do help other familes
have a great time and on alow budget, that would be even more AWESOME!

bare in mind the blog is at the beginning stages so give it a couple of weeks itwill look a bit more interesting..lol Hoping to get a profile of each the family members up..lol

Oh So Proud!!

Hello everyone!!
I've only just got back from taking Ash too kindy, we had a school Assembley today and the Kindies
were doing a little item, so i had to dress Ash in his PJ's for this which i thought i would have a problem with but funny has it, Ash was in the "I don't want to go to school" mode so i just got his shoes on and said "See you later i'm going to assembly"...lol so Ash came running along..lol
We got to school and went straight to assembley and Lockie and I sat and watched...in amazment as Ash sat quietly and still!! OMG!!! Then my heart just melted into a puddle of Goo! As Ash and the rest of the Kindies did a little song and dance....Oh my heart was just so full of pride to see Ash standing up there
Haven just as much fun as the rest of the kids and with a huge smile : D
Oh Ash really had me choked up : D *sniff sniff* my baby is growing up!
He better stop doing it or i'll have to talk to some one!!
lol! After the Assembly we all headed back for a Morning Tea with all the Parents and kids
Which was Totally AWESOME!! I just love to see Ash and Lockie playing and haven fun with other kids 
So this Morning has been totally delightful ..the only thing missing was my CAMERA!!
Oh man seriously!!! you think with all the scrappen i do, you think the first thing i would take is my Camera!!
so kicking Myself!!! beside that totally perfect morning!!
Now Lockie and i have a few hours together maybe some cutting and Gluing
Or just a cuddle and movie....
Oh Thank you so Much for all my blessing!!
if i could freeze time it would be now!!
this has been such a eye opener haven Kids...before life was just
so empty....or just more self absorbed...maybe
well if you have had kids you know what i mean and if not...you will : D
I can't thank Justin enough for giving me the gift of being a SAHM if i had to juggle a job between the kids i really think i would be too stessed and tired to enjoy it, well we'll see in a few more years...lol
Still i'm just on cloud nine to to see Ash happy and being a little boy...kindy boy : D

Hope your all haven a fantastic day and if not go grab a cuddle!!

not to mention the kids have been fighter...or more like sqobbling! OH MYGOD! if only my scrap
space had a cone of silence! lol Still it has be love weather to curl up with a book and sinking a milo!
If only some one would watch the kids!!
Serioulsy if they left my space i would be able to relax....only when they are asleep in their 
Beds do i really feel at peace : D
So Scrappen has been a little slim the past coupl of days and i'm haven a little rut at the moment...
Just the weather and the over whealming feeling of loss since i finished
my last House of nights book!! On MAN! i feel like i have lost my friends!
the next book comes out in Januray so at least it's not the end....Now i'm getting ready to dive into 
the City of Bones that was highly recommend by Kirsten : D (thank you darling) 

So with my little sook out of the way i can show you the Card  and layout i made thanks to the inspirations from Penicl lines and Basic Grey Challenge Blog

(While i still had my Basic Grey box out :)
