A Success and showing some more....

LO's that is. I am off to Newcastle tomorrow to visit my relos, so thought I would put up a post before I have to go and pack. I have so many here that I havent submitted so thought I should load them.

First one I have to show is from June Savvy Random Kit Challenge using the June He's Savvy Kit..... AND GUESS WHAT..... I WON woohoo!!!!!! I was so excited. Sar gave me a July We're Savvy Kit to play with as the July Guest Designer for Scrapbook Savvy, and I have done 2 LO's already. I love it, so bright and vibrant. I cant show yet, but I will show what LO won me this priveledge.



This was one of my entries in the May Savvy Random Kit Challenge using the May He's Savvy Kit.



This is my nephew Josiah when he was only a few days old. I have used the Bebe Boy range for this one.



Unfortunately I cant remember what this range was, but I loved it.... I have used it quite a few times and gave a different effect. The photo is of Ben with Oliver in the pram ready to go home from hospital.



Same range as previous - showing the different effect. How cute is the little owl.....I love this photo of Emma & Oliver. Emma is such a gem with all our kids.



And so not to bore you too much with my mega LO upload (there is more to come), here is a photo of my little cherubs. These two are gonna be great mates I can just see it. Oliver is really taking to Charlotte with such character xx



Of to pack for me weekend away. Just me and the kids going, but it will feel as though we are going for a year the amount of stuff I have to take: bottles, sterilizer, formula, baby food (I make all my own)....cot plus bedding, pram, rocker.....and thats wthout us having any clothes. Oh well, it will be fun so lets get to it.

Hopefully next time I come back I can reveal my news to you all.....I am so itching to tell xx

On fire in June....

No, not literally. I have just done so much scrapping this month and in between all of this I have some news.... Cant share yet, but will be able to reveal very soon. In the meantime, here is what I have been doing - well what I have photographed anyway.....

This one is of all our kids down "The Farm" in Nowra. All our hubbys have grown up going to the farm, and it seems our kids are also loving being there....



This is a STUCK?! sketch from a few months ago. I posted it on the SKETCH?! site but just didnt blog it. Its a most adorable photo of my neice Addisen at Charlotte's 4th birthday.



Next one is of Charlotte & Jared playing around with all of Jared's bibs. It was for a CC challenge over at Scrapbook Savvy (also a month or so ago)



Another Scrapbook Savvy CC creation. This time Sar's Blind Challenge. The photo is of Charlotte with 2 of her friends Georgia & Sophie. Photo also taken at Charlotte's 4th birthday.



And last but definately not least - Scrapbook Savvy CC in which I actually won WOOHOO!!!! How could I not have posted this one LOL. I was so very excited!!!



Well, that will do me for now. I have quite a few 52 Weeks pages to show, but will post them all together.

Off to finish tidying up so I can have an early night... Early night? Whats that?? I dont think my head has seen the pillow before 11pm all week.

Hope you are all well.

Blind Scrapping Time....

Well its taken me forever, but I have finally subscribed to Scrapbooking from Scratch for the awesome Blind Scrap sessions with Peta. I have done 3 in the last week and I love all of them. Check them out.....

Sunny Autumn Day....

Monday morning and usually Ben sleeps for a few hours before heading out to swimming lessons for Charlotte. Instead, we ventured into Belmore Basin with the gang for playgroup. We havent been able to go for quite a while due to my work and then Charlotte's swimming, so it was nice to catch up with those we dont see very often.

Ben got some pics of Charlotte playing in the sand:





Oh, and he snuck in a photo of Oliver & I by the looks LOL



I have managed to complete 5 LO's so far this month.... You will notice I have used the "She's Savvy" & "He's Savvy" kits from Scrapbook Savvy. They are absolutely amazing kits and have been selling out fast..... here are my LOs:

This one is using the "He's Savvy Kit" which is now sold out..... I have totally scraplifted Sar W in her LO titled "AT CJ's". I love it so much, I just had to copy (thanks babe)



This next one is Week 9 of my "52 Weeks of Me". I am a bit behind, but I will catch up slowly. It my lil Sis Shonae & I at her 16th birthday.....Using the "She's Savvy Kit"



This is Charlotte getting her Hair Wrap done while at Dreamworld in QLD. I have submitted this as part of the April Random Kit CHallenge over @ Savvy using the "She's Savvy Kit". I love this kit.....



Again submission for the monthly challenge but this time using the "He's Savvy Kit". Oliver at Movieworld as part of his month page....he is 4 months old.



And this last one, also using the "She's Savvy Kit" is Charlotte one day when she dressed up in her gardening attire and incorporated my "heel highs" as part of the outfit - she cracks me up!!!


So there you have it. My scrapping so far. I am hoping to do more tonight once my cherubs are tucked up in bed!!!

Oh, before I go, if you are after a scrap supply bargain, head on over to Scrapbook Savvy as they are holding a 3 day 1st Anniversary Sale. 25% off just about everything in store but only for 3 days so better get in quick.....

Until next time xx

Mega April Catchup....

Wow, where does the time go? Its April already: my baby girl turned 4, easter has been and gone.... and of course Oliver is growing everyday!!

March was pretty full-on with Charlotte's birthday, our trip to Gold Coast QLD, Ben went off the Melbourne for the Formula 1, and then the kids & I spent the easter weekend in Newcastle with my beautiful relos, and while I was there, I was lucky enough to go and visit Lauren & Luke with their new baby girl Bella (Chloe wasnt there, so didnt get to see her!!)

Not much on the scrapping front in March, but will show a few of what I have done. Have started out well for April though, so hopefully can keep it up....

Here are a few pics:

Charlotte with a little kangaroo @ Australia Zoo

Ben & Oliver relaxing at our "holiday house" in Maroochydore


All 4 of us @ Dreamworld with Kenny & Belinda


Charlotte & I on one of the MANY rides we went on @ Dreamworld - Charlotte is a little adreneline junkie!!


Oliver telling one of his stories to Daddy during dinner


Charlotte's first Pony Ride @ Australia Zoo


Oliver telling yet another story!!


Scrapping wise, I think this is all I photographed (I promise I will do better for April)

It was my submission using the March She's Savvy Kit - I had to scraplift one of the Savvy DT Member. I scraplifted Sara with her LO titled "Little Tired Fairy"



For now, this is all I have to show. I will come back soon and show off some more pics...... I will I promise!!!

Well, its Sunday and I havent blogged all week - slack I know, but we actually went camping for the beginning of the week (no internet access), then things have been hectic trying to clean up etc... BUT, I am here now, so thats all that matters.

I cant believe our little man was 2 months old last Sunday. I am taking the photo of the month again like I did with Charlotte.

Here he is at 1 month



Here he is at 2 months



Firstly to let you know that I didnt gain a DT spot at Savvy. I wont deny that I am not disappointed, but its Sarah's decision and I am sure she has made the right choice in Anthea.

So... other news is that I have a new niece. Addisen Jorjeena was born on Monday 18th January (her due date). Unfortunately we had left to go camping when we got the news, so it was 2 days before we actually got to see her. Here is some pics I took of her at our place on the Wednesday:



This is Charlotte & I having our first cuddles:



This photo was also the one used for Week 3 of "52 Weeks of Me" - here is my LO:



Here are a few more LO's from the Savvy Cybercrop which was held over the weekend (last weekend) The theme was holidays so it made me go back and do some of our holiday to New Zealand I have been putting off.

This is Kayla's Challenge. Using only 3 colours, 2 photos, 1 bling embellishment



And Sara's - use the colours Blue, Teal/Aqua, Yellow & White



I didnt get to do Kerryn's sketch, but since I got the photos printed for it, I will still do it - just not in time for judging.

This one is actually the January Sketch over at Savvy, which also happens to be #39 at Inspired Blueprints.



And before I go, here are a few pics from our camping trip at Lake Conjola:

Ben - he threw a line in and the best he caught was some seaweed LOL



Charlotte in the tent - we were trying to stay out of the sun for a while, so she played with her princesses in the shade of the tent.



She learnt (sort of) how to play shuttlecock - maybe one day she will be able to play with an apponent!!



I think thats all the news I have to share this week. I am hoping to get upstairs and do the sketch from Scrap the Girls, but I have a rather annnoying headache. I have been up since 3.30 this morning, so I guess that might explain it. Perhaps I should just hit the sack as soon as I can.... hhmmm, yep, good idea me thinks.

Til next time, take care xx Leesh

**Savvy Cybercrop **A Waiting Game & **A LO Share

First up, just to let you know the January Cybercrop has commenced over at Scrapbook Savvy. I am hoping to get these done before we go down the coast on Monday. I wont be taking my scrap stuff as I think it might be too dirty camping... Will have to take cross stitch and a book instead.

The waiting game is on at the moment for the arrival of my new neice. She isnt due til Monday (18th Jan) but we thought she was coming on Wednesday - oh no false labour. Its my sister's first baby and she is so over being pregant and just wants to have her here in real life. Its really hard also because her DH Paul has a 4 year old, Bailey, and he is due to return to his Mother on Monday. She was hoping for the baby to be born before the end of his visit, but that may not happen now. Unfortunately there isnt much we can do about Mother Nature - she certainly has a mind of her own.

Oh well, I will keep you posted, but in the meantime here are my LO's I have been doing over the last week. This brings my total for 2010 to 11. I was hoping to get 1 per day done, which means I am 4 LO's behind, but I am hoping Oliver settles well tonight and I should be able to achieve something before bedtime.

1st one is the Blind Challenge held by Kayla Renee over at Savvy last week. If you would like to do it and possibly win a prize, it is open until the end of CC deadline of 21st January. You will find the instructions here. The photo is one taken the other day of Oliver in his new green outfit (hence the title).... I cant believe he is almost 2 months already.....I have used the November We're Savvy Kit.



This next one is week 2 of "52 Weeks of Me". Its a photo of me (of course) the day I met Baby Mason. Isnt he adorable.... All items used for this LO came from the December She's Savvy Kit from Savvy.



I absolutely adore this photo of Charlotte holding Oliver after we had come home. She just loves him so much... This is a just because and I have used left over BG papers & embellishments along with some other randoms (I am determined to get through my stash)



These next 2 I have scraplifted from my gorgeous girl Sar

Pat-a-cake also using Novembers We're Savvy Kit



My Little Star using some goodies I recieved for Christmas (put together by Miss Sar from Savvy)



And last but not least Our Little Boy and His Dummy - using the November He's Savvy Kit.... I will be honest and say I also scraplifted this, but I am sorry to say that I cant remember who's LO it was. I saw it, and just did it... SO, if this looks like one of your pages - thanks!!



As you can see, I have used mostly the contents from the awesome kits over at Scrapbook Savvy. They are available on the 1st of every month. Unfortunately since having Oliver there wasnt much scrapping done, I wasnt able to enter the monthly Random Kit Challenges, but I have enjoyed using the products. I am sure I will be ready to go now for the Feb kit.... I wonder what they will be????

I also have to praise myself doing these BOY LO's. I was so scared (just ask the girls) when I found out we were having a boy - how was I going to scrap BOY pages LOL... I am actually enjoying them (believe it or not). Hope my mojo keeps up.

Anyway, finishing off now so I can go and (try) scrap before Oliver wakes up for his last feed of the night. I will try and get back here soon... fingers crossed.
