Scrapping the Boys and Girls

This is my november challenge LO for the scrap the boys Blog.

this months challenge was to create a LO using the superhero comic book style.

Well my eldest sons favorite super hero at the moment is actually

a villan from star wars!

.........................

And Secondly is my LO using these puzzle peices

for scrap the girls blog

Create a LO using only these peices of the puzzle

Here's what I came up with

Maggie on dress-up day as Dorothy from

The Wizard of Oz!

I used some MME 'lost and found' range.

Prima buttons and butterflies and flowers.

cheers!

November 1st stuck sketch

Hi.

Well it's half way through the month and i am finally starting some monthly challenges.

Yay, i managed to get 3 done in the last 24 hours.

This one is for Stuck sketches (nov. 1st sketch)

what a great sketch it came together so easily.

love it when that happens!

I used some Lilly Bee Papers.

and some Basic Grey Alphas and embellishments.

Back later with some more LO's.

finally finished....the mini.

At Bons Scraps retreat in October i started this Mini album taught by Bon Johnstone. Well two weeks later i finally finished it and am really happy with this little keepsake of our recent holiday in Sydney.
Sorry some of the pictures aren't the best, it was very difficult to photograph. Most likely because i had so many pages in the 'mini'!  Sixteen pages actually, eek.  It started out as just a few photo's of my daughter and morphed into my favorite photo's from the whole week we spent at the beach!!

Because the album was quite bulky by the time i finished i made this little clasp

out of buttons and twine.

I made a hole in the cover of the album and pushed the back part of the button through

then used this paper clip to hold it in place.

Then repeated the same on the back album cover and wrapped twine from one button to the other.

Clever? Well i think it's pretty cool!

Love the look of transparencies in mini's.

Maggie didn't venture much further into the water than this but boy did she

enjoy chasing and running from the waves.

oops i lied she did get right into the rock pools!

In fact she said 'It's so warm i could live here!'

                        

Push-ups?

Somehow i managed to get an awful lot of photo's of Maggies Backside!

she did a lot of digging in the sand. Oh and

my poor beach Babe Andy, trying to get warm

Any wonder he was cold after swimming in the ocean

in the middle of october, bbrrrr!!!

unfortunately the boys lost this footy while we were away.

Just one more to add to the tally of

 footballs that have gone astray.

So there you have it. Hope you like!

my little slice of heaven...

come inside and i'll show you my gorgeous new scrap space. My little slice of heaven! Where i think i could happily live forever and not ever leave. Well at least until the kids need to be feed, or nature calls, or the kids game has turned to tears, or...

well you get the picture!

It's taken a long time to get here but it's finally there with all credit to my dad for installing the bench top, painting and assembling as well as a myriad of other little jobs.

Thanks Dad you really are the best!!!

I bought the bench top from a seconds lot at a kitchen place it's just left over pieces of benchtop

 that are too small for whole kitchen but perfect for me!!

And my Ikea 'Expedit' shelving cubes that i'm am totoally in love with!

I haven't competely figured out what will go where yet and i need some more baskets or

boxes of some sort the put in the shelves.

My husband is a bit jealous of this he now wants one to store his gazzillion economic books.

Sorry buddy but there aint no room for them in here!

The old filing cabinet in the corner got a paint job as well. I can thank mum for that one, well not

for painting it that was Dad AGAIN, but for talking me into painting it rather than pitching

it because it didn't match anymore.  Thanks Mum. :)

When the kids are in bed i can sit and scrap and watch telly. Dad even put in a

new shelf for this tv i bought at Aldi.

He also put in the open cupboard under the bench for the Sewing and Cricut machines .

Thanks again Dad!!

Not too sure what to put on the walls yet. Pictures? Artwork? Maybe a shelf above the desk?

for now it's where i blutack my LO's and photograph them.

If you want to see what it used to look like you can check out this post.

Quite a difference hey?

Well seeya i'm off to scrap in my little slice of heaven. :)
