Sketches and cybercropping

It's been awhile so I'll be brief but before I skip straight to the LOs here is the latest pic of my troublesome son - sans cast - hurrah! He's off to school camp tomorrow so who knows what mischief he'll get up to!


And now for the LOs - I have a few to share...

This my take on wp final February sketch. Looking at it now I think that flourish is trying to wrap itself around Rob's neck lol.

And this is my take on the first March sketch - created by the fabulous Kate :) I used some Echo Park Little Boy (shh don't tell Angus) and some bits and bobs from my handmade goody stash.

The journaling is on the yellow tag. When Angus was two we were feeding the ducks and then in flew a pelican, it zoomed straight up to Angus and grabbed the bread out of his little hand - slicing his finger open at the same time. Since that day Angus has been afraid of pelicans, posing with a painted one is as close as he'll come to the real thing.

I guess this LO is further evidence that stuff just happens to Angus. Some day I'll share the story of the boxing kangaroo...

WP had a cc on the weekend and I completed all three challenges. This one was for the speed scrap, based on another fabulous sketch by Kate.


These photos were taken of Zoë with my parents way back in 1998. It was my Mum's Birthday but Zoe was in charge of the cake and the candle. These shots are really precious as this was the year before my Dad got sick and if you look closely you can see the pure delight on both his and Mum's faces as they watch Zoë.

This is my LO for Krissy's number challenge. Angus and his friends posing at the Australia Day Fireworks :) I was inspired by one of Olivia Angel's LOs - I'm loving her creations.


And this was Kerry's challenge - scrap two photos of different birthdays, using circles and a party symbol. In the blink of an eye my red cheeked baby grew into a leggy teen.

Just in case you can't see the little cupcake here's a closeup. It was made by Mel and looks good enough to eat!


Ok, I'm done! Thanks for stopping by :)

Well busy busy. Hope Angus comes back in one piece. Are you just waiting for the call???
I love your range of pp. I also realised just now (call me a bit slow) that the reason your LOs are so appealing is because of your designs and straight lines. Then you mix it up a bit with a LO like the Australia Day one. Very creative. (did that make any sense??)
