WAHOOOOOO!!!!!

What a week it has been for me.
I had a huge class up at Just Scrapbooking for my Sunday Lesson. It was a repeat (by popular demand) Multi-photo LO. All the lovely ladies did a fantastic job on their Layouts, I was pretty happy with how they turned out.
I also have had two e-mails from Scrapbooking Magazines.
Scrapbook Creation and Scrapbooking Memories both want to publish one of my Layouts, different layouts for each Magazine. So I will be in two upcoming issues soon. How exciting is that!!
So I am really on a scrapping roll at the moment.
Both of the layouts have Bronte and Adrian in them. I don't think that he is too happy about about being in the layouts, but he is happy that I am getting published.
Talking about Adrian he sailed today - he is off for Albany for ANZAC day and then onto Singapore, so all up he will be gone for about a month.
I will be marching on ANZAC Day, Melena is baby sitting Bronte (for the first time and Melena is a bit scared!! But she should be right.) I am dressing Bronte in this cute little white outfit that Mum made when she was here - it is kind of like a sailor suite dress, she is going to look so cute. So stay tuned for either photos or a layout!!

April Just Scrapbooking Layouts

Well I have been busy scrapping up a storm again. It is easier to get more Scrapping done when Adrian is away. I tend to do scrapping instead of watching TV and chatting with him. Here are my latest Design Team layouts for Just Scrapbooking. I got a stack of K & Company Patterned Papers, some K & Company large material covered square brads and some Thickeners Glittered Chipboard Sticker Alphas. It was very interesting to work with - and threw me for a little while, the patterned papers have lots of colours and patterns in them and I found the less you use the better. But it all came together nicely.

Enchanted

A LO about Bronte meeting my clay Dragon for the first time. Lucky for me I had the camera with me and managed to snap a few photos of this enchanting meeting.


Wonder

One of my left over photos of Bronte from Christmas time. I photo shopped the photo so that the Christmas Ball was the only thing that had colour left in it. Lucky for me it matched the glitter letters perfectly.


Delight

A photo of Bronte playing with one of her shaker toys - I loved how she was sitting with her dress all spread out so I had to take a photo of it.

1st Smile
Another photo I had of Bronte that I have had printed off for ages now. I have scrapped this photo a few times but each time I do it comes out differently. The Teddy bear in this photo looks so big beside her - it is so tiny beside her now. I should take a photo with her and the Teddy bear so that you all can see how much she has grown.


So Peaceful

A layout of Jordan ..... well I think it is Jordan. I am pretty sure it is. One of the few photos that I have of her as a baby.

Sleeping Beauty
A layout of Bronte sleeping. She looks so innocent and peaceful in this photo. I love the finger near her mouth. For this layout I tried to give it a fairytale book feeling. Do you think it worked??

Sunglasses

I had this photo laying around too. I am trying not to print off anymore new photos until I get all of my other ones done. This is a photo if Bronte in her Sunglasses. I can't get her to wear them anymore, as soon as they are on she rips them off. Oh well.

Princess
A LO of Bronte in her Fairy Costume. Every time I put it on her she carries on like a silly sausage - her personality shines through and she hams it up.

Top Teeth

Just doing a few catch up posts and sharing a few recent photos.
Bronte's top canine tooth was coming down and I was so looking forward to her getting both canines down and taking some photos of her looking like a little vampire. But she had a fall at Daycare and busted her gum open and you could see the big tooth in the gash in her gum, and it started to come down - so now she has her two right top teeth coming down at the same time and I won't get my little vampire!!! Lucky Adrian and I don't believe in wrapping her in cotton wool as she has a scar on her chin from at Daycare (the little red mark on her chin) and she also has a small bruise on her forehead. Poor thing - but she is the one who is so determined to walk and pulls herself up on anything.

New Friend

Here is Bronte in our little garden. She loves to explore the gardens and find all sorts of yummy things - dirt is a favourite and old leaves. This was the first time that she actually paid any attention to my Garden Dragon - it was so cute to watch her discover it..... I'm so glad I had the camera out already and was snapping shots.



Favourite Toy

This is Bronte's favourite toy at the moment. A $14 musical ring stacker from Woolies and she plays with it for ages at a time. She loves to put the rings on and then take them off again. As you can see she is very proud of herself once she gets them all off.



Crazy Hair Day



Bronte had a Crazy Hair Day at Daycare last week. All the ladies commented upon her hair - she has the least amount of hair and made the biggest effort. It was a bugger to wash out.
