Take Two...

So I really felt my previous layout was abit half finished so here's take 2!!!!

 I added a strip of DSP to the top and bottom, some faux stitching and a button and twine bow... and I think it looks much better!!!!

And onto something a little different... Two weeks ago I gave up Gluten and Dairy products due to cronic sinus allergies...  Within three days I started to feel better...  

Well today I did my first Gluten free/Dairy free baking...  Yum Yum Brownies, and here's the proof!!!!

Stewart Men... Four Generations

So here's the male page of the four generations... it looks cool IRL however, after seeing the pic I think it looks unfinished so I may have to bling it up a bit...

In this picture in order from left to right is my lil nephew Cooper, my Grandad- Bruce, my brother Andrew and my Dad.  I think I may have to do some faux stitching just to finish it off though...

Just Add Ink Number 23-

So, I seem to be forming a habit...  Using the Just Add Ink challenges to build my scrapbook up!!!  This photo is very special to me so I wanted to do do something pretty...  

I don't think there's many families out there that has 4 generations in one picture... This photo contains.... ME!!!  (I'm the baby!!!)  My mum, her mum- my Nanny and her mum - known to me as Nanny Stepho...  

This is the first page that I have done that I have scrapbooked my Nann, and I was surprised how hard it was... Both of them died when I was around 4, so I didn't know them that much..  But from what I've heard from heard they were both lovely ladies, just check out their smiles...

So this what four generations of women from my mums side of my family looks like and later tonight I plan to scrapbook a photo that has four generations of blokes from my dad's side!!!!

Well I think its funny...

It's a balmy 7 degrees here in Dunedin this morning, and part of my morning routine is to eat breakfast when I'm surfing the net...  My partner was having his morning coffee and chatting to me just before he left to work when we heard this strange noise...  Instantly we thought... "CAT" where are they and what are they up to!!!  I swung around in my chair to find Asha the black cat sitting beside my BIG SHOT, batting the handle around and around...  Man that cat really likes her craft supplies, when we moved house I found her stash of my daubers and sponges!!!

Don't ever get a black cat people... they are CRAZY!!!!

Just Add Ink Challenge 22

So here's my latest scrapbook page... Yes, I know don't all die of shock...  You've only ever seen two scrapbooking pages on my blog and yes, that has happened in the last two weeks...  Can't help it...   I'm on a roll...

Anyway, this is my submission for Just Add Ink challenge 22, which was White, Rich Razzleberry, Kiwi Kiwi and Tempting Turqouise...  I don't have all that much 12 by 12 paper so I put it on Black cardstock and think it looks rather striking...

Hope you like it, and thanks for stopping by...
