Photoberfest - Kids!!!!

Happy Tuesday!!! Today I've got a post for you of the Non-crafty variety, well non-crafty in the sense that it's not paper craft, but rather photography craft.

I've been reading a lovely blog Katie Evans Photography, and she give amazing, simple ideas and tips for taking photographs and this week she's got a little Photoberfest competition in photographing Kiddies!!!. Considering I have two of these said "kiddies" and about a gazillion photos I thought I'd enter her gorgeous competition.

I'm entering THREE photos this week (it's ok, I'm allowed to, I checked, I promise ;-) .

Here is my FIRST entry:-




My beautiful Miss Jorja. This is one of my FAVOURITE shots of her, one of those moments where she was playing outside and I actually had my camera. LOVE this and LOVE, LOVE her!!!


ENTRY #2:-

 Miss Ella, Those EYES!!... that's really all I can say THOSE EYES!!.. Combined with THOSE eyelashes which I swear are a MILE long, no really, they are!!

ENTRY #3:-

Beautiful Sisters! We took this photo for Daddy to take to work and put on his desk. Can you feel the LOVE!? :D

Oki, so all the photographs for this weeks competition will be posted on Pintrest HERE. The photo with the most LIKES at the end of the week will be the winner. How FUN, right!!?



I hope you like my photos and if you have the time, PLEASE do pop on over and give them a 'LIKE'.

Sweet Sunday Sketch #137

Happy Sunday!! I hope you've had a fabulous week. We're just about to start the "Kindy" holidays this week.. WOO HOO!! Yes I LOVE the Kindy {school} holidays.. LOVE them!! :D Extra time with my gorgeous biggest flossie, of course extra time with my littlest one too :D, absolutely NO having to be anywhere at a certain time.. YAY!, unless of course we choose to be. Two whole weeks of not having to do too much at all, except of course on Monday.. Monday we are required to make a trip to IKEA.. yes you read that correctly.. IKEA, because my littlest flossie is turning THREE!!! and of course she's VERY excited that she can go into the IKEA Kiddies Room to play!! Our trip to IKEA will, of course, be purely for her to fulfill her 3rd birthday wish and absolutely NOTHING to do with Mummy wanting to go and have a little wander around ;-).. haha.

Righty.. enough about that and back to the reason you're here, Sweet Sunday Sketch time of course!!!

Here is my card for this week:-

And here is the sketch for you to play along with:-

I've gone all crazy and funky coloured this week. Brave??? or just plain Crazy??? perhaps a combo of both. Anyhoo, I've used Island Indigo, Pool Party, Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight. I have to say, I'm in LOVE with the NEW In-colors Ruffled Ribbon.. um YUM!!!!!
