Mayhem and madness...........
Do you ever look forward to a certain time of day?? I know i do thats for sure - 8PM is such a lovely time for me, by then the kiddo's are in bed and fast asleep. There's not a sound in the house, no talking, no argueing.....nothing, and I have peace for the next three to four hours. Sometimes i get the urge to just talk to another adult but most times i must admit i am quite happy to sit and not say a word. I turn the radio on and if the mood strikes i sit at my desk and work on some layouts with the occasional net surf thrown in. Great way to relax after a hectic day. And i seem to have had my share of hectic days - I've had maddy home for three days with the flu, Nick caught some 24 hour bug friday and threw up in the supermarket, was not nice!! And then to top it off i've just spent nearly two hours waiting at the doctors office for them to fit me in to see Nick yet again.....he has now got - of all things - school sores - poor kiddo's mouth is a mess. But we now have some anitbiotics and some cream to treat it, so hopefully will clear up in a few days time. Only prob is its highly contagious so please keep fingers crossed that none of the other kiddo's catch it. Really feel it would be the last straw for me if they did. So crappy, crappy week here, lets hope things improve.So as i said, come 8 pm i sit at my desk and i scrap, it helps to calm the nerves somewhat and has kept me busy. I have done a few layouts, but there not anything brilliant unfortunatly. I'm tired and run down and it shows, they are just scrapped layouts - no real depth behind them.
Will share though:
This first layout was done with a pic that i took of Nick at his birthday party - you can see the beginning of the sore near his mouth here, though at the time i had no idea what it was, wasn't till the second one showed up this morning that i thought "gee better get that looked at", bit slow aren't i??
This layout above was done for the newest Elsie challenge at Embellished - to add sparkle to your layouts. I used kindy glitz on colour the butterflies on the pp. Another pic i love that i manage to capture at Nick's birthday party. As for the title of this one, well thats what stuck in my head when i saw the pic lol, so just went with that.
These two layouts above were for the current Product Feature at Embellished. DT were given the challenge of using the We R range of pp's with a masculine theme. These were my examples. I have decided to frame the one of my brother and give it to him as part of his xmas gift, he's been really sentimental lately and i think he will like it.
These last three are my examples with the new December kit available now at Embellished. Was such a fun and funky kit, perfect for xmas pics but would work so well with other themes as well. Made a xmas wreath up by punching flowers from the papers and attaching to a cane wreath i found at a discount store, love the way it turned out.
Well thats about it from me today guys, think i'm gonna have a lay down while the boys are napping. Will try and catch up again soon.
Take care................
