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...

Besides the awesome result and the fun we had singing the Swans song to J...

Here I am sharing my latest post for Sketches in Thyme . Each month the Mavens over at Sketches in Thyme share some great layouts based on brilliant sketches. Make sure you pop over and check them out. This month the first sketch I have been working with is.... Here is my take on this gorgeous sketch... I have used the gorgeous Echo Park papers ~ Sweet Girl. Jo @ Scrapbookit  sent them to me to work with for the Scrapbookit Design Team and I just can't get enough of them at the moment!!!!! There is a bit of Tim Holtz Distress paint and white paint on the background so that the patterned paper wasn't so stark. This photo of my gorgeous niece Charlotte was taken not long before they moved to Virginia Beach, USA. She was and still is such a cutie! Make sure you pop on over to Sketches in Thyme - sketchesinthyme.blogspot.com.au  to see the rest of the teams gorgeous work. Anyway I best be off....I am busy packing and organising for a w...
