Morning dear friends, hope you all had a wonderful weekend, I drove down to the Gold Coast (which is truly an accomplishment in itself for me) to meet Tracy from My2Angels, I do not recommend this trip if you don't want to be overwhelmed with gorgeous, amazing products to see and feel, it is so always so much better for me to see and feel the products and the good news is Tracy is moving and will have a Bricks and Mortar shop, yay for me but not for my bank account.
(more about my scrap weekend next post)
I hope you like the above layout, this was done for Scrap the Boys, (so glad they are back) and this documents the day Nate had his soccer break up, I love these photos of him with his tropy, and when he received it, he ogled it and then turned around, put it in the air and sang out YAYYYYY....
This is my entry for White with 1 this month, my artisian shapes are my use of the Pink Paislee Artisian elements and transparencies. Nate is being held upside down by Uncle Col here, and I still smile when I see that gorgeous smile of his.
While at Tracy's, I got to see her amazing Off the Page work, I bought all the gorgeous products so I could have a go at this stunning creation, everything here is from her amazing shop and these gorgeous houses are available HERE and the stars HERE (which look awesome with kindy glitz), flowers HERE, the embossing goodies HERE and the gorgeous 10 x 10 memory frame HERE. My camera skills just don't do this piece justice, it is just amazing.
I am off to check out your blogs and will share my photos and give aways that Tracy was so kind to let me share with you all.
Nate Dog died yesterday at the age of 41, after complications from having a stroke, I first heard his name when I was younger and into the rap type of music that was around then, I loved this name and from then on vowed if I ever had a boy I would use it, as Nate is my only child, I was lucky he was a boy as I got to use it. I often call him Nate Dog.....
R.I.P. Nate Dog
Love to you all. Melxx

Fantastic pages Mel - I am in love with that upside down lo! Way cute!!!
Both LO's are gorgeous, as always, am really loving the white space - very cool! The Gold Coast, eh? Hope you had a great time. I know, going to the shops in person can be soooo deadly. I haven't bought anything ('cept tape runner) since 2010 so I'm in for it if I get to my fave scrappin' shop this week. The credit card'll be meltin'! Nate Dog, was he part of a group? The name sounds familiar... Ah, hear Brenna squawkin', I guess I need to giver her some attention. Hugs, Roxy!
Hello, hello;0) How are you? Love your LOs! But I cannot tell you enough how much I LOVE the second one! Love the empty space. Nate is such a cutie. And would you know that on your first LO, your title is my birthday;0)
Guess what? I will send you an email telling you some good news;0)
Have a great evening (morning for you I think)...lol
Lots of love to you and Nate
