August.... and it feels like Summer...

Wow... how fast is this month flying by... last weekend I rounded up my boys and sat them out on our shady verandah and took some photos ... they were very obliging and loved 'hamming' it up for the camera. Not one 'perfect' portrait photo... but many photos that perfectly illustrate how happy my boys are... and how cheeky!!!

And this is the layout that I created with these photos... but I think... no I am sure that there will be some more....
The weather has been glorious here this weekend... and today Georgia and I walked from Home to Clovelly and back again.. the hills almost did us in... but we made it home.. hope I can walk tomorrow... I am off for a three week stint teaching at a Sydney High School... good luck to me... I hope I can cope and dont get too tired...

Have a great week everyone... Happy Scrapping.

Summer comes to Winter in Sydney

Well what a great weekend... fantastic winter 'summery' weather and a great Cybercrop at Enchanted... the layouts that some of the girls did were fantastic... and I managed to sit in the kitchen and scrap this weekend as the weather was so warm.

I completed two layouts.. and have another 1/2 done... will upload it as soon as i put the finishing touches on it.

Busy Times & Cybercrop time...

This year seems to be hurrying by as fast possibly faster than any year before it... Now almost HALF way through August, it will be the end of the year before you know it and Christmas... my head is spinning thinking about it.

ON The SCRAPPING FRONT...

it has been a busy month at Enchanted. GREat little packs went out and I have managed to have a play with the packs and have created two layouts so far... and once i get a chance, I will do some more!!! I will display these for you all in my next post... perhaps tomorrow.. LOL after I have taken some photos.

This weekend at Enchanted we have our August Cybercrop... in tune with our theme for this month... in which we are celebrating COLOUR... we have lots of challenges that will brighten up this winter (mind you the weather overall these last few weeks in Sydney has been marvellous and one would not be a fool to think that Spring had already started!!!)

New competition starting on the 10th August at Enchanted SCrapbooking....

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...
