Some Scrapping to Share

Hello , I have been a bit slack with blog land lately, but I have some scrapping to share :)

This first layout is of my brother on his First Communion Day with our Beautiful Grandmother Emma Jane ( we called her Mum Coyte). She was a wonderful lady and was always happy and had a lolly jar on top of her fridge. We used to call at Mum Coytes every Sunday Morning on the way home from mass and cook toast on the fork in the fire. She raised 9 children in her little cottage called Fairview.


The Flowers I used on this layout I found whils cleaning out my Mums Wardrobe last week, so I wanted to use them on something special , I also found the photo out there. So scrapping this page was theraputic for me I think.
The next layout was for a Build the Page over at http://homeandscrapped.ning.com/ I really enjoyed doing this and was so happy with the results. Once again I found the pic out at my Mums

and for some closies

The button which I think is just perfect for this layout is from http://soupie75.blogspot.com/p/lovelybug-bits-n-bobs.html

Also I have been creating a layout for http://www.craftqueen.com.au/ and here is a little sneak peek



So pop over and check out Craftqueens awsomeness, Nicole has the most gorgeous products.
So you can see I have not been idle, although I would scrap 24/7 I think if I could. Had a lovely scrappy afternoon with Miss Annette http://annetteedmonds.blogspot.com/ and Miss Kim http://lifeisabalancingactx8.blogspot.com/ they are a gorgeous pair of girls, even though Miss Annette sucks big time  :) just kidding! We get together every couple of weeks and eat delicious food and get creative :)

Please let me know you called by

Cheers
big ears
