Morning dear friends, wow a little chilly here this morning, and I am off for my fortnightly scrap day with Amanda Taylor, the photo above shows Amanda's boy Connor doing sound for Master Nate while he sings, he is so excited to be going and has been saying all night "I go to Con's now?". I just try to explain he has to sleep first...
The layout titled "Beautiful Grins" is my entry for KRAFT IT UP this month, the criteria is you have to use a Kraft background and utilise heaps of white space. The layout titled "While you were sleeping" is using a Noel Mignon technique where you use the default letters from their casings and mist. I just love this idea and am actually going to use this again today. When we come home from our day trips with Jan and Col, we always bet how long before Nate falls asleep, he is usually so quiet, which is just the opposite on the going to trip, he now yells 'DUCK' when we go underneath every bridge, which Uncle Col taught him to say, but this day he just crashed and it was my turn to have a little fun without him knowing.
Well I must be off, time to leave for Amanda's, heaps of traffic usually, and so many bridges to DUCK UNDER. Hope you all have a great day. Look forward to catching up with all of you soon. Love Melxx

WoWzA, these are fabulous, Mel!! You're incredible ... these layouts are simply amazing!!
The kraft background really makes this adorable photo pop! Kraft is one of those papers that I don't use very often, but love the results when I do -- it's versatile and really accents all colors.
Wish I could share some of our heat with you; it's been almost 100 degrees F every day this week!
