Enchanted Layouts....

A little late but I have finally got around to scrapping one of the Enchanted Fairy Fun Pack "It's a Jungle Out There' from June... I Loved this pack the little transparencies were just gorgeous, and the colours in this pack were divine... and I managed to get two layouts out of this pack!!

School holidays are coming to an end (yippee). Luckily throughout the school holidays the weather has been good and we have been able to keep busy in order to try and stop Aidan and Joshie from slaughtering each other. Honestly, I dont remember fighting with my brother like these two do. They have the perfect Love/Hate relationship...

The only other 'biggish' news we have here in the Voute household ... is Little Mathew started Daycare this last week... and he LOVED it.. was ever so happy to go off for the day, and he was Super Happy when he got home... but Tuesday night he was tired and fell asleep pretty early... My baby is growing up so fast... in a few days he will be 9 months... and when I think about it that seems unbelievable... where has all the time gone!!!

Until next time...

Enchanted Cybercrop Layouts...

Last weekend... we had the Enchanted Scrapbooking July Cybercrop... and here in Coogee we had a massive blackout all Friday night... so NO Scrapping or chatting for me that night... But over the course of the weekend I managed to get 2 of the 3 challenges completed...

This Layout was my go at Tracey's Blind Challenge... and I am very happy with this layout. This is the second time that I have attempted this photo... I didn't like my first attempt, hence the absence of that layout... but I am happy with this one.. and from a distance it looks like I have created a Huge D for Coogee Dolphins.. .and it was totally deliberate... NOT!!! LOL
And this second layout I did for Wendy's Guest Designer sketch challenge... It was a great sketch to interperate... and I am so glad that I 'finally' scrapped these pictures... finally matched them to some papers... and I just LOVE this layout... I love Joshies giggling face even though you cant see it properly... It so makes me smile. Mathew was about 5 weeks old here and these were probably some of the last photos we took in Darwin...

And this bottom photo I snagged the other night... Justin was playing with all 3 boys and I noticed them all dressed in RED... so I quickly grabbed my camera... what a perfect photo for a future layout!!! LOL

Thats all for now... more layouts to share soon...

A mega update & another Cybercrop!!!

It seems like such a long time since I updated this blog. Perhaps because I have been 'meaning to do it' for a week now???

We have been fairly busy, particuarly last Sunday when we had footy and a birthday party on in the same afternoon. I have managed to do a little scrapping. Have had a little bit of 'flu like symptoms' niggling at me... so the concentration span has been wanning...

But I am hoping to be ALL GOOD this weekend, not only are we busy socially - more footy events and matches, but also a BBQ) we are also having our July Cybercrop at Enchanted Scrapbooking... a little earlier this month... Tracey is jetsetting off again lucky devil.

This month at Enchanted Scrapbooking we are celebrating 'friendship' and as such our theme for our Cybercrop is Friendship... Lots of awesome challenges, our infamous bidding war, competitions, prizes, and friendly chitchat with all our Fairy Friends at Enchanted... should be fun.... Our Cybercrop advert... (if you post this pic on your blog, and let us know about it... you will be in the running to win a Mystery RAK)

A couple of layouts to share... I did this one for one our June Product/Technique challenge... using

And this one... cant remember when I actually printed out this very gorgeous pic of Joshie (taken almost 9 months ago in Darwin) but I found it and it blended wonderfully with these gorgeous papers... I had drawn this sketch from a layout I liked ages ago.. (sorry I cant remember who it was now... so if it looks familiar please let me know so I can credit you!!). Really happy with this layout... perhaps I should covertly scraplift more often???? LOL

And lastly some cute photos of the boys...
At Bathtime - Mathew is sitting up in the bath now... but still loves to lay down and splash about.

My little baby spunk... TOO COOL Mathew....
Sydney Park... last Thursday Joshie, Mathew and I AND Ella went to Sydney Park in Sydenham here in Sydney (LOL) with Sarah and Harry (Oliver, Harry's brother is in Aidans class... now Harry and Joshie are 'Best Friends'). I hadn't been there before but Sarah assured me that it was great... and it was. A awesome bike track for the kids, complete with TRAFFIC LIGHTS!!! and a great play park with monsterous slippery dips... Josh had a ball, Mathew enjoyed the sunshine and ELLA LOVED IT. It is also a DOG friendly park... so off the lead she could be and she could run free... and that she did... straight into the muddiest puddles right up until we were about to get into the car (take note of Ella's 2 toned look... the black labrador half is actually thick squelshy MUD!!!!!
