Head over to the Scrapbookit Blog  to see the second of my posts for April. Here are a few sneak peeks... Many thanks to Kayla Burns from Burning Memories Photography for allowing me to use the gorgeous photos she has captured in the above two layouts.

Welcome to my next post for Sketches in Thyme. Today sees the sketch #117 go live on the blog. The Team B Mavens have done an awesome job with this sketch. If you haven't been over to Sketches in Thyme click on this link  to head on over and see the awesome work the girls have done. For my layout, I have again focussed on a photo to add to Brayden's baby album (remember I am running very behind with his baby album). Have you ever scrapped photos that are not sensational? That the quality is pixelated or a little out of focus?? Well, I have tackled that challenge with this sketch. 8 1/2 years ago we didn't own a good DSLR. We actually used my hubby's camera from work which took 3 1/2 inch floppy disks. Obviously the quality of the photos were not great! However, these are the photos we have to remember all of the special occasions, meetings and times during Brayden's first few years...so they must be scrapped. This photo was taken when my Nan, ...

So much has happened since my last post. I have been flat out with so many exciting things and a lot of work!! My last post was posted the day I headed to the Scrapbookit Retreat. Wow! What an awesome weekend! We all headed to Bright for the weekend. There was plenty of food, scrapping, inspiration, great conversation and friendships, fun and heaps of laughter! I was lucky enough to have my Mum and Sisters Jenn and Shell there too! What a great girls weekend away! We had a dress up night on the Saturday night......lots of fun. Here is one photo... Can you guess who we are???? Such an awesome weekend! The next weekend we had the school fundraising dinner. Then the 'road trip' of the century.... Five of us in a car - Jason, Brayden, Coll, Jess and I all the way to Sydney, 4 Swans supporters and 1 Essendon supporter. Yes we went to see the Sydney v Essendon game at the SCG. Besides the awesome result and the fun we had singing the Swans song to J...

Wow! Times are very busy! This is a quick post to say hi and to let you know that I have put up a new post over at Scrapbookit ~ scrapbookitblog.blogspot.com Please make sure you head over and check it out as well as all of the other wonderful creations by the DT. Here is a sneak peek.....  I will be back later in the week to share my latest creation for Sketches in Thyme. See you then.

There is nothing like entering a competition right at the last minute! I feel like I am back at school sitting up to all hours getting an essay finished to hand in in the morning......but........this is so much more fun! I have just completed my interpretation of the March Sketch from the Scrapbookit Blog I am not totally sure about working with sketches however I believe you interpret and create the layout bearing some resemblance to the sketch. I could be totally wrong and there may be heaps of unwritten rules but I have had a go anyway. Hey.....I have completed yet another layout for the album and I like it....I think that is the most important. Check out my entry......(if you want to compare it to the sketch head over to the Scrapbookit Blog ). Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think about my layout. Until next time, Mel
