Scrapbook Fantasies - week 4

 

Welcome back...
First I have some fantastic news to share about Lane's sports!!!
JUST TODAY - he has been chosen to represent the local district for AFL again, in an age group up! and also got word from the regional Cap office to say he has been selected to rep at State level for Swimming! YAY!! That means it will be 3 trips to Chandler (in Brisbane - 18 hour round car trip) out of 4 months..

 

Anyway, this post is not to focus on Lane but is actually featuring an AWESOME effort by my special little man Hunter.. This pocket layout was done with the inspiration from the Scrapbook Fantasies weekly challenge - #4   LIVE LAUGH LOVE

 



 

This was his VERY FIRST time running a 1km race! He sees his Dad and Lane run the 5km all the time and so desperately wants to join in! So this Australia Day he ran the shorter 1km distance in only 6:31:00 min.. Not too bad for a 5yr old who had sore feet cause he had cut them a little on the rocks at the turn around point on the beach.. 

 

You can see that I followed the inspiration by making the title of this pocket page Live Laugh Love..

Hunter very much enjoys looking through the scrap pages of himself, but it's getting difficult with the big heavy albums, so I am finding myself doing a few of these pocket pages for him every now and again so they can simply be placed into a 3 ringed binder for super easy storage and accessibility for him! 

 

Here are some more cute photos of Hunter during & after his run.. :)

Thank you for dropping by today! I hope you may find some inspiration to drop by the Scrapbook Fantasies blog or store and join in the weekly challenges yourself!

Until next time, happy scrapping.. Toni.. xoxo

Envelope Challenge card - February

Again this month I have been very honoured to join in the Envelope challenge from a great bunch of ladies in an USA crafting group..

 

Here is what was sent to me..

White cardstock for the card base

Purple precut cardstock

paper doiley

adorable Easter bunny stamped image

 

 

I'm not always that into colouring and certainly wasn't that keen when I was putting this one together, so decided to leave it uncoloured for the recipient to colour themselves.. :)

 

The only rules are you must use part of everything in the envelope and can only add a max of 5 things..

The things I added where -

1. Green striped pattern paper

2. Easter & Eggsceptional were actually cut from the same piece of pattern paper

3. White mesh ribbon

4. pearl strips

 

It was definitely some fun making this card!! Thanks again to Brenda for sending it over to me and including me in this months challenge.. :)
