SCRAPPING TO SHARE

today i want to share some LOs i did over the weekend (oh...and a card) for the EMM cybercrop.
i think it is the fastest i have scrapped so many LOs ever.

this was challenge one of the cybercrop.
i LOVE this pic of kait taken when she was only a few months old...she has such a serene look on her face. i loved getting my fingers into some paint to create the flowers - might use this technique again soon i think. and there is no journalling on this LO at mark's request...he feels that sometimes the journalling detracts from the photo and the the LO.
so this one's for you babe.

this was challenge two of the cybercrop
love this pic of the boys that mark took at christmas...shows their mischievious side.
using orange was a challenge as was finding some coloured rub ons but i like the way it turned out.

this was challenge three of the cybercrop
(top view is the card fold closed and the bottom view is the card flap open)
cards are not my forte i can promise you but to have conditions put on the creation - ARRRRRRRGH !!!!
messed with my head big time but it's done now and i think i like it. some of the ladies created some GORGEOUS cards....you can check them out here.

and this is my BOM entry for this month's EMMies.
we were asked to pick out the song that means something to us for whatever reason and as daggy as my choice is...."AMAZING GRACE" is mine.
i just love the serenity and the message behind the song and it is a song that has comforted me at many times in my life.

i have one more LO due for this month's EMMies and i am struggling to get my head around it but i do have some ideas so i just have to sit at my scrapping table and let it all flow.

on a personal note
* a very happy birthday to my gorgeous, slightly zany friend marie for yesterday.
hope you had a lovely day my friend and that you were thoroughly spoilt by your boys.
and a congratulations to blake on his confirmation - what a special day for you as the mum of such a special young man.

* and a huge congrats to rondelle and kevin on the birth of their third daughter, meg rose - isn't that just the most delightful name.
rondelle is the lovely owner of EMM where i like to hang out and annoy everyone...LOL
meg is a little sister for emma and lilly.

i have more news to share....both on a personal and a scrapping note.
i know i said i wouldn't "go there" with the personal stuff here on my blog but you know what....buggar it...!!!
it's my blog and it is a record my life and the special times in the life of my family so i will be including personal stuff from time-to-time.
if you don't wanna know about the good, and sometimes the bad, just look at the pretty pictures.

time to head off so remember......

look for the things in your life that make you smile
~~ and let those you love, know that you do ~~

HAPPY PHOTO FOR TODAY

i was out in the garden yesterday practising taking photos on the macro setting on the camera when i snapped what i thought was just a photo of the pretty coloured purple berry onone of my plants.
but if you look carefully you will see a spider and the skin that it has just shed.
i was blown away when i put the photo on the computer screen and saw the spider and then noticed it's shed skin.
isn't it amazing all these little miracles that surround us in everyday life and how easily we can miss them when we don't look carefully.
