JUST KEEP SCRAPPING, SCRAPPING SCRAPPING...

- sung in my best "dory" voice of course -
LOL

thank you to those of you who left comments about my last post and those of you who emailed me.
i'm still not sure that it was the right thing to do, to show the LO, but i did and i guess it is another step in the journey of "moving on".

been scrapping up a storm these past few weeks - started at the EMM retreat.
no actually...probably started when i moved my scrapping area up into the corner of our bedroom. it is so jmuch nicer scrapping up here, close to mark and the kids and my darling kait even hauls her little table in and scraps with me some weekends which is always a buzz.
and being part of the EMMies has helped too - have had lots of inspiration from the EMM gallery and the guest DTers that rondelle has dug up.
and i think i am finally reaching that place where i have wanted to be with my scrapping, since i first started.

where it doesn't matter about the product or whether it is published or whether people leave comments when it is posted to a gallery or on my blog.
cause it's all about telling the story of our family and leaving a written and photographic history for future generations.
kait loves looking through the albums and it has sparked many a discussion about the memories i have scrapped.

so here are some more LOs that i have done in the last few weeks.

a LO for my BOM - also part of my March EMMie entry
this was me when i was about 6 weeks old.
i still have that blanket i was lying on

another LO for my Emmies entry for march.
we had to doodle on an embellishment.
not sure i am happy with the result but i do love this LO and what it stands for

this is another photo taken in 1911 - not photoshopped at all.
i love looking at it and seeing all the lovely little faces of mark's ancestors.
part of the product i used here was an EMM challenge pack from a few months back

this LO was done for the EMM cybercrop last friday.
we had to use a B&W pic, B&W PP + a floral PP and the theme had to be "love".
i love this pic of mark and kait...i love them both and the relationship that they have together

this LO is the second one i did at for the CC. we were given two poems for inspiration and one of them mentioned "earth's splendour"
to me, flowers are earth's splendor so it made sense to scrap a photo of one of the grevilleas in our garden.
the title is hand-cut (OUCH...!!!) from hand marbled paper that aunty joanie did (she is such a clever chookie)
not sure i am 100% happy with it but hey....it's done now.

this is the final LO for the CC. we had to scrap a LO using black, white & green, a B&W pic and some rub-ons.
love this pic of my baby girl, reaching forward to stop me from taking her pic..."not quite fast enough baby"....LOL

thanks for looking.
and that is my lot for today.....
