I finally got to do my layout for the Black with Two December challenge.  This is the mood board and sketch:




I really like these colours together but I didn't do a Christmas type layout.  I took photos of my son with his teacher in the last week of school and I decided they fit into the colour scheme perfectly:

Show Us Your Stuff December Challenge

Good morning.  I was up again late last night trying to get some crafty time in whilst the children were asleep.  I started off with the Show Us Your Stuff December challenge which was this bright and beautiful mood board:



I took inspiration from bright colours, the pictures of water, summery theme and the heart up the top and I came up with this:

My handmade item is the Charm's Creations Heavenly Heart.  The title is hard to read but it says "And so it begins" (as I think it will lead to a lifetime of fishing).  I hope you all have a wonderful New Year!

Scrap the Girls December Challenge

Good afternoon!!  I got a chance (finally) to get creative last night and I really wanted to have a go at the Scrap the Girls Challenge - I had this fabulous photo of my little girl with her cousin.  They are both just stunning and they look a bit matchy matchy in their outfits coincidently.  This was taken on Christmas Day but I couldn't wait to make it pretty!  This is what the challenge board looked like:



Gorgeous hey!  And this is my creation:

Wow, its been a long time since I have had a chance to scrap, what with Christmas and all the preparations and my eldest and youngest children have their birthdays in January.  I am also preparing to go back to work after being on extended maternity leave from 2 years.  I was so glad to get some time to myself last night and I got creative.
