black with 2

i found this site a couple of weeks ago, and thought i would have a go at this months challenge... black + pink + orange....
this month the girls added a little twist - must have paint + 20 brads
i kept thinking, what am i going to do with 20 brads? and then as i went thru my stash and came across my bella chip alphas, which not only fit the theme i had in mind, they were also the perfect place for all those bloody brads...LOL..
with a fairy tale title i continued the theme thru the journalling, starting with the classic:
"once upon a time", there was a litlle girl who refused to go to bed without her monkey"

scrap therapy - monthly theme challenge

"sweet treats"
what could be sweeter than your favourite chocolates?
i decided to use all the colours and flavours of my favourites... cherry ripe & strawberry freddo...
and what better collection to do that with than BASIC GREY - bittersweet

scrap therapy - man of the month

this months "MAN" is cosmo cricket. not a big fan, until the recent release of the " girl friday" collection, which i chose for my LO. i couldnt decide which paper to use, so i used them all and the title alphas actually come from 1 of the pages in the collection...super cute...
journalling says:
Alexandra 12 months old, supposed to be helping weed the garden... BUT... mostly eating it...

puzzle sketches

the girls at puzzle sketches were hinting at a boy type theme, having 2 girls, i wasnt sure i was going to play along this month.
i was a llittle hesitant at first, but this months pieces gave me a shove to finally scrap these photos of the girls halloween birthday party from last year.

happy birthday to me!

today is my birthday......
and what did i do?
i went to work, came home cooked dinner....etc etc
pretty much a normal day, i can count on 1 hand the number of people who wished me a happy birthday, starting with a text from hubby @ 2:09 am this morning (thanx babe)
Hubby is on night shift this week, so a belated birthday dinner is definately on the cards.
so thank you to the people who remembered, and to the rest of you.....WELL.....you are no longer on my xmas card list - Hmmmmmmph!
