Shock - Horror - 2 more layouts to share!!

Yes I know even with a teething baby, I have managed to get 2 more layout challenges done - AMAZING!.

Both layouts are for challenge sites that I haven't done before, so it''s very exciting! First up is for the STUCK sketches challenge site. They have a new sketch every fortnight. This is their April 1st sketch found here, and this is what I did with it. I used the Blast Off! Collection from Bo Bunny. Oh and using some old product, I used a chipboard arrow that has been lying around for years, and some old Heidi Swapp letters.

 
And my 2nd layout is for the Scrap That Baby challenge blog. This for Prompt 27: Ultrasounds. This is what I did. I used Crate Papers Neighborhood collection and bits and bobs from lil Red Rocket.


And for those who know me, I wanted to let you all know that I am now officially a Stay at Home Mum! Yep I took a payout from work, and now I get to stay home with my little man!! Well for the next few years at least!!! I am very happy about this as the time I get to spend with him is just so valuable!!

2 to share

First up I did the Scrap the Boys challenge. I have never done one of their challenges before, but now that I have my 2 men in my life, I think I will be doing these more often!!! The challenge this month was to be inspired by his outfit. Well I love this little onesie that he has (that no longer fits him!!). He really is a little heart breaker!!! I used a photo of the onesie as part of the title. I used Basic Grey Oliver collection.


And my second layout to share is the sketch challenge over at Bo Bunny. You can find the sketch here and this is what I did with it using the Blast Off collection. I have decided to try the 8.5 x 11 size again. I think I am starting to like it. Will end up being cheaper to store these layouts!!!

Some photos

Just have some latest photos of my little man to share. I have been scrapping a layout for over a week now, and it is just one of those ones that seems to not work no matter what I do. Almost finished it, but it is looking so simple and not like I have spent hours on it. Anyway hope to have that to share soon. In the meantime for those who know the little dope, here he is....

MLSB March Sketch Challenge

I am very excited to have found the MLSB blog, and love that they have a monthly challenge. You can find the march sketch challenge here, and this is what I did with it. I love the end result of this one.
 
I didn't use anything really old in my stash on this one, although I think those thickers have been hanging around for a while...

Kaiser sketch March #3

I am so happy to be getting back into the Kaiser Sketch!! You can find the sketch here - and this is what I did with it using the Be Merry range. Where is the old stash on this layout I hear you ask (not that I have to have some on every page I do at the moment), well it's the photo! Been sitting in my pile since 2004 to scrap! Sorry for the photo being a little wonky!!

March Scrapjacked

This is my layout for ScrapJack this month. I chose the layout from Lisa. I loved the design of the layout, and this is what I have come up with. I have used the Oliver collection from Basic Grey, with some thickers, and using up some of my stash, I have used my Around the Block labeler thing.
