Good evening! I hope you are doing as well as can be!

Just getting in a couple of challenges before the month comes to an end... I know this is a shorter month, but it has gone wayyy too fast!

The sketch for FEELING SKETCHY is another fabulous one.. I used it like this..

and my card..



and the sketch for AFSC for the 15th February looks like this..



and after thinking about it for a while I created this layout..

I have used Kaiser papers Secret Admirer range..and I hope you are sitting down... I used a photo of moi.... last year was a milestone for me... so I thought I had better scrap about it..  I don't do many layouts just on me, so I have been brave and have done one....

Cherished moment - K I U Februay..

Greetings! I hope you are having a wonderful day.. It is Saturday night here, and I have managed to get a bit more scrapping done today!

The February Challenge for KRAFT IT UP is to use stickers in some way... When I first started scrapping I used to buy stickers, and I have quite a few of them.. so I really wanted to use some up in this challenge...

I have used  3-d stickers and also the stickers that you get when Kaiser has a paper range..

Cherished moment.. The photo is of my two older daughters at the airport when Hannah arrived home from the UK.. a very cherished moment to have her back in Australia..








I have used the Secret Admirer range from Kaiser.. All the flowers are stickers, as well as using quite a few stickers from the sticker sheet.. (the black bird cages, the scalloped borders the buttons..)

Thank you so very much for dropping in, and as always I do appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment!!

Baby Bethany - WW1 February

Greetings! Thanks for coming by!

The challenge for WHITE WITH ONE this month is WHITE, PINK AND HEARTS..

Now being the mum of 3 daughters I could not resist this challenge, and it was just the therapy I needed... I  printed off a photo of my eldest daughter (my second child) when she was 1 day old.. Just looking at the photo makes me sigh.. My son Nathan was meeting her for the first time and I love that he is holding my hand in the photo.. He was such a good big brother!!

Baby Bethany..







I have lots of pink... pink ribbon roses from Kaiser, heart edge punch from Martha Stewart, heart dies, flowers and doileys.. yes siree! I enjoyed creating this layout!

Thanks for coming by.. and thank you for all the wonderful comments..

and tomorrow sometime I will be getting my assistant (Nisha!!) to help me draw a name from the blog hop for SOUS  FROM HERE>>.. good luck to all who left a comment!!

for you all so we have a few wonderful sponsors for our hop!
Our very own Lisa Norris of  Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons
Regina Easter of The Cutting Cafe

all the eye candy with the great projects to see!
