I hope you are all enjoying your Easter, where ever you might be. We have had a very quiet one this year. Lara enjoyed her first taste of real chocolate!! and Lilli had 2 egg hunts one inside when she woke up and one outside a little later in the day. She loved it!!

My first 2 cards a very very similar, but for completely different occasions. I made the first one for my next door neighbours who had their 4th baby boy just a few weeks ago. They don't have any girls!! I have stamped the giraffe then put some kindy glitz on him, and tied a little ribbon round his neck.
..... and then this one for my BIL. I was inspired by the challenge over on the Scrapsidaisy Forum/Gallery. The challenge was to colour on a card, my card for the challenge is actually the next one but I enjoyed the colouring so I made this one as well. This one I have coloured with inks and a water brush. A perfect stamp for my BIL who loves to fish!!!

There's something exciting happening.......

Here is a LO with just a few of the gorgeous new goodies making their way to Scrapsidaisy.....

It's starting to get cool here in the mornings, I even had to put on a jacket this morning!!! Sometimes I can't wait for the cooler weather, just because it's better for sleeping and great for those days when you just want to curl up on the lounge and read a book.

Any hoo, I have lots to share today, probably because I should have posted some earlier but these things happen!!

So the first page was for the March challenge over on the Scrapsidaisy forum. The requirements this month.....It had to be about a male, use the colour green, a metal embellishment and a title that had more than two words!! Yep definately a challenge for me, I could probably count the number of male LO's I've done with my fingers!!!

I made this cute little whiteboard for my sister, to put on her locker at work. She was always forgetting to get her lunch box out of the fridge or forgetting to get the bread on the way home etc. etc. but she hates post it notes, they are just look too untidy. So I made this, I think I want one LOL.

I have a few new things to share. First one is the Copycat card challenge from over on the Scrapsidaisy Forum/Gallery. We had to use a photo for inspiration, some gorgeous colours!! I have used my cuttlebug a bit on this one. I embossed some white cardstock then coloured the raised designs with crayon then put a litttle Dimensional Magic over to top to give it a little bit of shine! I also made the butterfly out of a flower cut with the my cuttlebug, I can't take credit for that idea though. It was something I learned out at Scrapsidaisy, twice actually, once with cardstock then also with paper flowers. I love her anyhow ( my butterfly that is)
This is the first Halloween page I have ever done!!! We don't usually celebrate it here, but the neighbours had a party so it was fun to get dressed up. Here is Lil, in her witch outfit!! Such a gorgeous witch :)

Well that was yesterday, but I hope you had a great day anyhow!
Lots to share today!! First up..... My first LO's for the Scrapsidaisy Design Team Yaaaay!!!! These kits are available from Scrapsidaisy and are full of goodies, you can choose to do your own LO's or maybe use mine for inspiration. Here is what I done with my pack!!
No 1 Miss Lilli, with her favourite dolly!
A card, made from some leftover scraps. (Plenty of leftovers for cards)

I have been chosen on the Scrapsidaisy Design Team!!! I am so excited!!! I have received and completed my first pack, but you will have to wait until after our Roundup Retreat (!!!!!!!)to see those ones.
I do have a couple of others to share though.
No 1 was for the challenge on the Scrapsidaisy Forum. So you had to use the colour red, a title starting with the letter 'O' and do some distressing of some kind!! I love how it turned out! I quite like challenges, they help me to think outside the square sometimes!! And No 2 is Little Moo. Ryan called Lara little moo whenever she had this suit on, it's so cute!!
The colours are different on this one, not what I would usually use for a girls LO. But I love it just the same!!

Well I hope you had a safe and happy new year! I did, didn't make it to midnight on NYE but had a good night anyway. We have been for a holiday to Sydney. We stayed with a friend for 4 nights, we went to the aquarium, which is so awesome!!!! We spent the rest of the day wondering around Darling Harbour, it is so great there. I have not done that before. Lilli had a great day. We went on a giant ferris wheel that was fun and a little scary LOL. I am glad to be home though, it feels like we have been gone for a month!!!
So anyway, I have a couple of pages to share.
No 1 is of Ryan, with his winning scratchie although he did not win the major prize LOL. He was excited anyway!!!
No 2 is a Fathers Day LO. A little bit late (ok alot) but I don't scrap in any particular order, I just like to do it when inspiration comes to me LOL. I love the nook and pantry PP from Basic Grey. I also used some raw chipboard thickers. I inked them pink then sprayed them with pearl glimmermist. I love that stuff!!!!
