A day of cropping!

Hi All,

A bit of a late start today thanks to my new "17 year old" neighbours who think that you party all night while the rest of the world are tyring to sleep and you sleep all day while everyone else is trying to function.  They finished up at 1.00am Friday and 4.30am last night.  And they've only been there 4 days - Aaagh!!!!!

Anyhow on to more pleasant things.  Yesterday my lovely sister and I went to the new year start of Northside Croppers and had a fun day out scrapping with our friends. I achieved these 3 layouts and my sister had a very productive day with 9 layouts completed. 

I loved this photo of Mum and Dad and now they have been married for 45 years so I thought I would make that the theme of the page.    I've used Cosmo Cricket Circa 1934 range of patterned papers, (which I love thanks to Tanya Tahir), Maya Road Doilie Transparency and Kraft Envelope, AC Thickers and I have made the flowers using my new Cuttlebug Flower Twilling kit (close up).

This is my beautiful Niece Maddie showing of her first ever sewing project.  She has done such a great job on her little skirt.  I have used the new October Afternoon Homemaker Patterned Papers and Stickers, Cosmo Cricket Material Girl cut outs, Dusty Attic Chip, Maya Road Chip sewing embellies, AC Thickers and MS punch.

And this is of my other gorgeous niece, Reannon and her kitten LC. I found this photo on my laptop after she had gone back to Adelaide and I thought it was such an adorable photo I couldn't resist scrapping it.  She loves that cat so much and from the look of the photo the love is mutual.  I have used the new Kaisercraft Class of '87 patterned papers, white flower and doilies, Prima Flower, MS punches, AC Thickers and OA mini alphas.  I made the Rose flower using a Sizzix die cut and the other flowers using my cuttlebug twilling kit.  A big thanks to my lovely friend Kathy for her help with the Rose and for loaning me some of her MANY MS punches.

Thank you also to those ladies who have become followers on my blog and have left comments for me.  Your work is an inspiration to me everyday so I am very excited that you have taken the time to comment on my layouts.  Your support is really appreciated.

That's all for now.  Hopefully I will get some more work done today (if I can keep my eyes open)!  Until next time enjoy the rest of the weekend and have a great week.
