Life has been.....lets say a "little hectic" for want of better words. Between starting back to work after holidays, my little man starting school in Prep, a very piratey 5th birthday and the general day to day life of a working Mum we have been flat out. Needless to say I have been dying to sit down and scrapbook.
Well, the weekend came and I was looking forward to having some scrapping time. You would never believe it but I was sick!! Anyway, I still persisted......I couldn't go another weekend without my fix! Below are my creations.........some more from my unfinished pile!!!

Friends
This photo was taken Easter 2009. The kids are actually second cousins and we spend every Easter weekend together. They really do get along so well. I made the pinwheels as part of a class last year with Jaine at Whadda Load of Scrap. I just love the Marakesh range from Kaiser.

Precious Little Man
Quite a while back I did a class with Alanna Adrien at Whadda Load of Scrap using templates on layouts. It has taken me this long to decide what I wanted to do with this layout. The arrowed pattern on the left side and bottom of this layout have been drawn using a template and the cut and folded to create the effect. I am happy with how this layout has turned out.


Take care,
Mel

Scrap That Poetry

A few days ago I received an extremely exciting email! After applying to be part of the Scrap That Poetry Design Team, the lovely Jennifer Campbell emailed me to say that I had been accepted!! I am just so thrilled to be a member of such a wonderful blog and with a group of such talented ladies. For those of you who don't know Scrap That Poetry I recommend that you pop on over and have a look. STP provide two challenges each month that require you to use the poem to inspire your scrapbooking.....it is lots of fun! Currently, the poem is The Rock Cries out to Us by Maya Angelou and works are to be submitted by October 14th at 10am. I am currently working on my first project as a design team member and this will be found on the STP site on October 15! Have a good rest of the week, Melxx

Back to School has definitely hit our household and we have hit the ground running! Besides going back to school we have celebrated the little fellas 6th Birthday, had my sister and her family visit from America and celebrated my nieces birthday whilst she was here......alongside another celebration for the big 6 year old. Sadly, scrapbooking has taken a back seat as I have been preparing birthday cakes!!! My boy had a pool party with a few of his friends from school the day after his birthday. I made this swimming pool cake.....probably not my most outstanding however he loved it and so did all of his little friends:) This weekend, just gone, we had yet another birthday celebration with the family. It was such a lovely day. My sister, her hubby and my two gorgeous nieces were here from America for the weekend - my boy and my eldest niece and goddaughter celebrated their birthdays together. Boy did they have fun! I made the 6 and my sister did the castle cake - so clever! So now I may
