sweet sunday sketch #49

Hello.... Hello... HELLO!!!!

I hope you haven't all given up on me!!! I'm sorry for the quiteness here lately... BUT... I've been away on holiday to Hamilton Island for 10 days... my gorgeous girlfriend Bec got married over there and I was honoured to be one of her Bridesmaids. We had such a wonderful time it was SO relaxing, and I seriously wished we could've stayed away for a little longer. My two little poppets had a BLAST, swimming in the pool and at the beach everyday... i must admit to being quite envious of Jorja's new tan... she get's that from her Daddy!!! I'll post some pics soon... I just have to wait for the newly weds to return so I can get my camera back off them... YEP... they FORGOT their camera, so we left ours with them for the rest of their time.. oh yes.. they toodled off to Daydream Island for a few nights... lucky things!!!

Now... for the reason you are here, to check out what the gorgeous Karen has come up with this week for the Sweet Sunday Sketch!!... I'm SO glad to be back, I REALLy missed not playing along, and it was a little sad, given that the two sketches I missed while I was away are in fact the VERY FIRST Sweet Sunday Sketches I've missed.... phew.. almost had a non coping moment!! hahaha.

OK.. here is my card for this week:-


And here is the sketch that Karen has given us to play with:-


You'll notice that my card has pretty much NO stamping on it... UM.. well, apart from the blue panel, and on that I used my Nursery Letters Jumbo Wheel (for the very first time!!!). Everything else on this one is from the Rock-a-Bye Boy Simply Scrappin' Kit.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

sweet sunday sketch #44

Happy Sunday!!!!! WOW... what a week here in the Kale' abode!!!! It's been a busy week planning and getting things ready for my gorgeous friend and Beautiful Bride to Be 'Bec's' Hen's Doo. I'll tell you all the goss about it soon..

I loved this weeks sketch from Karen as soon as I saw it.. and NO there are absolutely no crooked panels, not one!!!! Phew!!!

I've actually made a scrap page for this week, but I hope to get the chance to sit down later on during the week and make a card with the same layout.. FUN!!!!

Here's my page for this week:-


And here is the gorgeous sketch Karen gave us to work with:-


I was a BIG bit excited this week because I got to use my Brand New Circle Scissors for the very first time... well ok let me explain a little... I got to use it to DRAW my circle... you see I haven't got my glass mat just yet... should arrive this week, so I had to hand cut it, but it was very exciting to use it anyway!!!! ... yep.. doesn't take much!!! hahaha.

I've used my Scrappin' Kit - Rock-a-Bye Girl to match with other layouts I'd made for Ella's first birthday. The base is Regal Rose with some Pink Pirouette added as the first layer then I cut a circle of the heart DSP from the scrappin' kit. The strip across the bottom is Kiwi Kiss and is one of the accents from the kit, I also added a strip of Kiwi Kiss ribbon. I used one of the flower embelishments also from the kit and added a little Pink Pirouette flower from my Felt Fusion Too tin and a little rhinestone brad. The second little circle element is a little Kiwi Kiss button with some linen thread.

Hi There!!!

I've been meaning to share this Scrap Page I made with you all week. FINALLY I've remembered to sit down and post it for you.

This is my GORGEOUS Jorja....playing outside in the SPRING sunshine. I just adore this photo... I guess it's safe to say I pretty much ADORE all the photos of my beautiful girls. She just looks so sweet AND cheeky don't you think.


I've used my retired Simply Scrappin Kit - Crew Girls for this... and it is to be a part of her scrap album which is coming along VERY VERY slowly. LOL.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

My Beautiful Ella - Day THREE

Hi There!!! Back again with a couple more pages from Ella's Scrapbook. Today I've got month Four and Five for you.

This one of her at Four months was taken on her very first Camping trip.... yep camping in a TENT!!! She had a wonderful time, and considering the heat.... coped pretty well... we won't mention how long it took to get her back to sleeping properly again when we got home... nope.. we'll keep that a secret!! haha... (see I can laugh now!!).

I just adore this picture... her cheeky little face, it's like she's quite proud of the fact she's squished her Big Sis out of the photo... she is there, like I said, just a bit squished!!!!

And then for Five Months... this one was taken at one of our MANY trips to the Zoo... sitting there in her pram pretty happy with being pushed around in luxury!!!.


So hope you like these two pages. Be sure to pop back tomorrow for a couple more. Oh and I promise to have a card or two for you soon too.

Thanks for stopping by.

My Beautiful Ella - Day ONE!!!

Hi there!!! As promised in this post, during the week I'll be popping up the scrap pages I've made of my Beautiful Ella, who celebrated her FIRST birthday on Saturday. I made these pages for her scrap book, but also to have on display during her party, so that everyone could see just how much she's grown. Well OK, I think everyone already knew that, but it was fun making them, and made Mummy here a bit teary while searching the hundreds of pic we have of her to make each page.

So, today I've got her arrival and One Month pages.

Ella is literally minutes old in this photo.... she came so quickly that it was taken on Shane's mobile phone, because YES we didn't have time to get the camera out of the car... it was get ME out or have baby in the car... hahaha.

And here she is at One Month old.... smiley, happy and just adorable.


Hope you like these, be sure to pop back tomorrow for a couple more.

All supplies on these pages are from my SU! Simply Scrappin' Kit - Rock-a-Bye Girl. oooohhh I do LOVE this kit.

Thanks for stopping by.
