Christmas is just around the corner

Chloes challenge this month on SOU was to design a Christmas card and use a stamped image on it.
I am the SLACKEST when it comes to getting my Christmas cards done. This was a great incentive for me to get started though. Well at least Ive got one done.
We are taking the boys to visit Santa or 'Ho Ho' as Tys calls him this weekend. lol. So Id will have some photos to post off with my cards and some photos to scrap.
I'm pretty sure that Jedd will not be overly impressed with the thought of sitting on Santa's lap but some times they make for the funniest photos. Tee hee.
I'm half way through a LO for this months 'Out of the Hat' challenge and Ive been working on it for about a week now. I just cant seem to make it work but I'm determinded to get it finished. All most there so Ill have that to share soon.
In other scrapping news, it was my turn to pick the sketch for the 'Scrap Your Heart Out' challenge on 'The Boxx' this week so now I just have to complete my LO for it.
I still have those other LO rattling around in my head that I want to get down on paper too and a couple of other challenges I want to participate in this month. WOW Im exhausted just typing about it all. LOL. TFL

Too Cute.

This is a LO I completed for 'Scrap your heart out', sketch 13 over on 'The Boxx'

Ive been AWOL lately and I thought it was about time I joined in again. I loved Melissa choice of sketch this week. Id always wanted to try something like this with all the strips as a background.

I'm not overly happy with how it turned out though. I like the colours but I'm not happy with the placement of everything.

It just seems a little lop sided to me any way. Here it is.

I was a bit cranky this morning because the little cherub pictured above broke my trimmer. GRRRR! I couldn't possibly do with out a trimmer I mean I could do it the old fashioned way with a craft knife and a ruler but wheres the fun in that. So I went out today and bought myself a new trimmer. Wow I didn't realise what a dinosaur my old one was. LOL.

Loving the new one its a bright pink Cutterpeade. I'm feeling very spoilt now and cant wait to try it out.

To be honest I don't think the old one cut 100% straight anyway. Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I'm on a mission to make some Christmas cards next week and theres a few LOs rattling around in my little head and a few I want to get done on Scraps Of Us. So hopefully Ill have more to post soon.

Hope you are having a great weekend. TFL.

Pure Joy.

I think the title says it all because that's what my baby boy means to me. He is Pure Joy.

I had the urge to scrap a page yesterday. As always I had to wait for the munchkins to go to bed and I couldn't start until Packed to the Rafters was over. That would never do! LOL.

So I'm feeling a little tired today as it was a late night for me but here's what I came up with.

Ive used some 'Sweet Vintage' embellies on this one. How cute is that little blue bird button and I'm loving Jodies 'Sweet Vintage' doilies at the moment they are so cheery and bright. TFL.

My how you have grown.

Just a quick post while Jedds sleeping and Paul and Tys are up the road at the local church garage sale. Im hoping they come back with some vintage goodies for me to scrap with.

This LO was inspired by the very talented Sam at Scraps Of Us. Her challenge at the cyber crop was to make a LO using only scraps, rub ons and 3 photos. My LO dosent exactly fit the criteria Ive added alot of stuff. LOL but I was inspired by her LO so I thought Id have a go.
