It is beautiful to watch an feel little ones enthusiasm, their keenness to play...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to get out onto the field, even though it is damn cold on those Friday nights, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the guernseys cover the knees, and the socks cover the rest. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is a lot of skipping an jumping about like young lambs in a paddock...</div>

Just recently I had a wonderful weekend in Port Lincoln with 90 other scrappy minded ladies at the Escape2Create retreat....and scrap our hearts out we did. When I go away on these weekends I like to pre-pack kits and have set in my mind what I might do with certain pictures.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While I was packing my kits up, I found myself grabbing for older papers, older embellishments that all seemed to work in with my colourful photos. First up here are some pictures from our tour to Cinque Terre in 2014....ahhh....the memories of this glorious place!! Just an apology : my pictures of my scrap pages are not that flash- sorry!! :(</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong><u>Cinque Terre:</u></strong> Even though I used older papers & embellishments from Studio Calico an AC Dear Lizzy, I also used some newer water colour paints, some stamping and some ink splats.... it all worked well together. </div>
<br />

<strong><u>Game on:</u></strong> School holidays means out with the board games with the grandsons....and on this day it was Monopoly....and I had to have my wits about me as Mr E was purchasing every piece of property he could and then onto me for rent if I landed on it!! boy oh boy!!<br />
<br />
But once again I found myself grabbing older paper ranges, mixing them all up with colours and patterns, it came together easy....adding a few simple embellishments.<br />

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Last year this little fella was so fixated on Rabbits, he so wanted a pet rabbit for his birthday. He even thought Uncle Daniel would get him one for sure...but his parents were trying ever so hard to down play it!! Right up to the eve of his birthday he was so convinced that he was gonna get a rabbit!! He had it all worked out.... it was going to live in his room, play with Ollie the dog, sleep with him n all. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So a birthday cake around the theme of rabbit was a must for Mr Finn's 4th birthday. And such a good job Rachel did of it too!! Her cakes are always a surprise to the kids, until the actual moment of 'cake' time....so little Finn's squeal of "there's a rabbit in my cake" was sooooo funny and cute!!</div>

Back in September we celebrated another birthday....this time it was Mr E who turned eight, and this time it was my turn to make a cake....and I prefer to make cakes that are quick n easy!! A construction cake for a boy who loves everything about machinery was perfect! It didn't last long with all those maltesers on top!! Mr E was chuffed, and that's the main thing!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Back again with another page....this fishing title caused me much grief, trying the print n cut method with my silhouette was a good thing....except I couldn't feed my paper thru my silhouette....after few hours of trying I fussy cut this one.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then hours later decided to have another go....get my instruction book out only to find out I was pushing the wrong button to feed my paper in....so the old saying "if at first you don't succeed, read your instruction book" may work!!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All that aside....an effective way to make a title... part using my silhouette....lol</div>

A nice little feed there....not too bad for a couple hours out in the bay with Dad. With fishing running in their blood, it is no surprise that they love it.....young fishermen start!<br />

I found scrapping with black n white a bit challenging at first.... my page was feeling like it was bare and missing something. So with an added touch of water colouring, this added something else as a background pop to base my wood veneers, wood dots & enamels and other flairs onto.<br />
<br />
Now I think there is just a couple more football photos amongst my pile .....but the fishing ones seem to be taking my eye just at the moment.....See what comes up next...<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;">**Edit:</span><em> sorry the photos aren't the best, but this moment is too precious not to keep as a record!</em><br />

I have numerous football pics from season 2015.<br />
This year saw a couple of the little lads taking their first step onto the field for a bit of a run... first up was Mr Eli, in a game of mini mini's......he got a couple nice touches and a bit of a run with the ball, and some kicks....well done!!<br />

This is a catch-up of a couple of those wonderful birthdays in 2015...<br />
<br />
.... at times I think why do I do all this scrapping...but when the albums are out there is always someone looking thru them...looking for 'their very own' page....and they stop and have a read... So then I know it is worth it. Soon I will be putting all their pages into their own albums, my memories of them, for them....<br />

Last week I finally found a moment to clear my scrap desk...then find some photos and bits n bobs and finally do some scrapping.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Birthdays are a good place to start....and with lots of Grandsons...there is always another birthday ready to document. This time it was the eldest...turning 11.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At the moment I am drawn to all things natural & earthy, vintage & pre-loved.....whether it be for décor or scrapping it seems. I am loving the geometric shapes and lines I am seeing around...and without even thinking I cut some papers and then re-pieced them on the page. Feathers and wood grains, reds yellows blues and greens. Adding some various bits n bobs, some old stamps even....and there's even some splashes of gold....to complete this boys page.</div>

It has been ages since I have been here to post anything...and finally I have gotten around to sitting at my scrap desk to cut paper and stick stuff down. Firstly this photo of cute little Finn was taken late last year, he is so cute....he is so awesome and cool!! He's Granny's little boy...no actually...he LOVES Pops but oh well, I get to care for him every week while his mum goes to work...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These papers and embellies from Crate paper suit his awesomeness perfectly......oh so boyish!!</div>

Then this cute 'I am' range (Simple Stories) works well with Jen Hadfield, papers from our LSS- Sheoak Cottage. I thought I could do a<strong> 'Me'</strong> page....doesn't happen often but this photo snap from my birthday with the Grandsons x6 all around me, was an ideal moment to keep....and scrap.<br />
<br />
Here is <u><strong>I am..</strong></u><br />

<br />
First up, <strong><u>Kick n Splash: </u></strong>this page was inspired by the many layouts I have been spying around with various patterned paper shape cut outs. I have been particularly drawn to the triangles....and it also happened to be part of the theme of the retreat too!<br />
<br />
I added some inky smears made by mixing the spray with a little water onto flat plastic, and then lightly touching straight onto the background. Added some stamped arrows and added some paper confetti sprinkles. <br />

I so love watching each of the boys learning to swim....something I feel is so very important here with so much beach & water time through our hot summers. And little Finn here, has taken to the water quite confidently, not afraid of getting his face wet at all and loves to make big splashes!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then there is <strong><u>These Boys:</u></strong> which is my normal multiple photo, layering layout. I have taken to adding a strip of paper (usually sewn) to either the top or bottom of my pages but this time I added a few little embellishments to one corner. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love times together with all these boys. The cousins all get along famously well!! It's noisy, it's crazy but it is loads of fun!!</div>

<strong><u>Summer Fun</u></strong>: this one was inspired by Leanne Allinson, and I went for the A4 size page and just kept it simple...which suited these bright photos of the kids on the jetty,the day we went to Tumby Bay.<br />

I had a fantastic weekend....scrapping my little heart out, doing some classes with fantastic teachers, having heaps of laughs with a table of great friends..<br />
<br />
Here is a couple layouts I did while I was away....I think I did a total of 9 including my class pages, not bad for me....and as I cut my 4 day weekend back to 3 days due to having to go off to an emergency nursing course.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Today</u></strong> is Eli tuning 7 last September....(Yes, I am about to go on a boy scrapbooking- catchup venture....just warning you...lol!!!) Love the 'Amy Tangerine' Kraft script word thickers, which Today was part of.<br />

I like to pack a couple page kits before I go to a scrapping weekend away....to get a little mojo started and in the scrapping mood.....so I started putting one together..... i got to the stage...oh bugger....just stick it....and then it was all but complete....so i completed it! Oh well, all good!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So this is page one complete...<strong><u>SEVEN:</u></strong> Evan's birthday last May....and his little brother is right into the blowing the candles out- which is soooo cute!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These pages are more about the moment than the photo....obviously...as the photos aren't that crash hot...but if i miss a birthday, i sure do get reminded. The little ones love to see 'their' birthday on paper.</div>

So kit one complete and made....onto the next one...<br />
<br />
Once again....i was getting so into it, i thought may as well stick this all down, do some stamping, and some ink splats....before the day was done the page was complete..<br />
<br />
<strong><u>CELEBRATE: </u></strong> This day was Jacob's birthday, and we weren't having a birthday tea so Granny n Pops took the boys to the 5 Loaves Bakery for a milkshake and a donut!<br />

So i have really gotten into the scrapping mood over this past week.....but then i did eventually move onto packing a couple extra kits without using the glue!!! Hopefully the mojo keeps on coming next weekend!!! So looking forward to it!<br />
<br />
I then found this one under my scrap mat....obviously it needed some flattening out for it to be under there....but i had forgotten about it...i think i did this one last mini retreat back in September/ October.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>CHERISH:</u></strong> if i remember rightly it was a page inspired by Ebony van de Starre. With the bright inky painty splats and the dashes of black stamping. A photo of Finn an i having cuddles. He is our littlest boy, full of cheek n fun!! Love him to bits!!<br />

<br />
It was a little road trip down memory lane at the same time...stopping to visit an Aunt in Coonalpyn, a drive around my old home town of Tintinara and out to our old farm. Stopping in at old friends to say a hello and calling into to cemeteries to visit resting places of relatives.<br />

I can't believe this photo was taken over 3 years ago. And it does bring a smile to me as I remember that day. Jacob you was so proud to have caught my little hen and bring it into my kitchen to show me.....no Granny could ever be cross at that cute little face and the little red hen certainly didn't mind the adventure!!<br />

I had seen on pinterest some time ago and idea using crepe paper to make coloured background. So I had a small canvas and some bright coloured crepe paper and began...not too sure how it would work out..<br />
<br />
First I wet the canvas in small sections with a foam brush and added various strips of torn crepe paper until totally covered...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7-9WAIn_WeOKameUWFfjCvrCjf3dF1ADjJtfjZjYEFKFG4DF4d7I695WrLf5z-yr5BmQ4arSQvGgYZpCsgd_CY6WIB64Q-lrGr2GKwhV3i2RobHT2zhjURzKI3wCGLRdyEz9qlgVqbc0/s1600/2014-11-16+12.57.39.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7-9WAIn_WeOKameUWFfjCvrCjf3dF1ADjJtfjZjYEFKFG4DF4d7I695WrLf5z-yr5BmQ4arSQvGgYZpCsgd_CY6WIB64Q-lrGr2GKwhV3i2RobHT2zhjURzKI3wCGLRdyEz9qlgVqbc0/s1600/2014-11-16+12.57.39.jpg" height="400" width="300" /></a></div>
When it was almost dry, slowly lifted the crepe off ....very excited that the colour had transferred onto the canvas...where the crepe had tucked up left white of the canvas showing thru....but I was okay with that....liked the look...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I let it dry totally and then got out my tub of rub-ons...and decided to use various inspiring words, added some doodley flowers and flourish rub-ons and punched out some butterflies.... <br />
<br />

I was quite chuffed with the end result....and certainly a technique that I could use to make backgrounds on other projects!! What did we do before pinterest???....I guess read magazines!!!<br />
<br />
Thought I would share this with you who pops on by...<br />
<br />
Have a nice day..<br />

After discovering I haven't scrapped for some time or taken many photos in the later part of this year...it was time for some scrappy catch-up. Birthdays a plenty.... to get the mojo happening I copied the Gina Rogers class from the big retreat in March this year.<br />
<br />
This was a photo from Rob's birthday shared with the Lukin boys...<br />
<strong><u>Love this moment:</u></strong><br />

<span id="goog_647512849"></span><span id="goog_647512850">I went for a smaller size page for this one....and felt that the page fills up way too quickly for me!! Quick and easier way to scrap I guess...I think I prefer 12 x 12 still, but it suited the smaller photos.</span><br />
<br />
Will be back soon with some more from that scrappy weekend away.<br />
<br />
Thanks for popping on by and hope you find some time to scrap this weekend,<br />

Holidays are wonderful times aren't they??<br />
<br />
If any of you who don't know we have just spent the month of August overseas in Europe...visiting our AFS daughter Angela for her wedding in Germany, then we travelled onto London for a week and then onto Italy for 9 days. We did a 4 day tour of Tuscany and the Cinque Terre, then spent 5 days in Rome exploring. <br />
<br />
We had the most amazing trip - my highlights were spending time with Angi's family and just been there for her wedding was incredibly special. Going to London - visiting Buckingham Palace, spending time with my pen friend Doris from Berlin, seeing those iconic Red phone boxes and Big Ben, visiting Stonehenge, visiting the Cinque Terre was ticked off my bucket list, and visiting the Colosseum and the Pantheon in Rome were my fav. parts if I just sit here and think back.<br />
<br />
I posted a few pics on facebook or instagram along the way if you follow me....but I will post just a couple here. I just love Bavaria - the southern part of Germany...it is so beautiful!!<br />
