A double page layout of Bailey doing the Conference Course in the bush where I go with some "fabulous" ladies for Scrapbooking Retreats weekends. Those of us with children often go up to the Retreat a couple of days earlier with the kids, they all get on really well together and have alot of fun playing, watch movies and going for bush walks etc, meanwhile us mum's create and the dads get a few days off before a weekend of kids and no mum to help :)

Little Man at Work

Little Man at Work

Bailey has been nagging for months to be allowed to mow the lawns - so we finally let him. I think the novelty is going to wear off quickly with the size of our backyard. But he did a great job and I think it's his job now - especially in the summer.

Fun in the Sun - Bailey & Brooke

I used a sketch for this layout idea - not sure where it came from, so am not able to give credit to the person who created it.

This is my son and niece Brooke playing with some friends on the beach.

Fun in the Sun

I wanted to challenge myself to use patterned paper as my base and old embellishments etc from my scrapbooking stash, this is the result - am not 100% convince I like it, jury's out on that one.

But I do love the photos - the memories of watching my niece play at the beach - she just loves the water & sand and had such a great time, it was cold but it wasnt going to stop her.

First Hugs & Dressing Up

My son meeting his cousin for the first time.

I had two copies of the layout one for my niece's album and one for my son's album.

This is my niece Brooke & her friend Laila, they love dressing up everytime they have a play date.

These layouts were inspired by Nichol Magouirk from Two Peas in a Bucket - I love her layout designs.

Sports Day

Bailey's sports day at Primary School.

I often struggle to select just one photo from an event for my layouts, therefore I often find myself doing multiple photo layouts, this layout has 9 photos. But I think I love the challenge of trying to make it both fit and work together.

Payton - 6 months

Payton 6 Months This layout is a lift from Megan Hoeppner in Creative Keepsakes. This layout is great for using scraps from previous layouts. I am going through a stage of "squares" in my layouts. I loved Payton's eyes in this photo and stand out everytime I look at the page.
