Hello dear friends, I have got a bit of mojo back thanks to dear friend
Lyndda this week, she is Guest DT at
Yvonne's blog "Do more with Less" and this is definately my sort of challenge. I feel I always struggle with the less is more thing. I used my RW circles and coated them with my Ranger crackle from
My2angels (almost finished now as I am using it heaps) and I used some fussy cut flowers out of Bo Bunny's Flower child range and some MME brads that are Halloween orientated but they fit well.

I mounted the lettering onto transparency and placed it over the top of the layout. I hope you like it.
Here is Master Hog - 16 years and still going super strong, he is on a cane chair in my bedroom with lots of covers and can stay there until about 10am and then goes out and sits in the sun......Who said it's a dogs life.
And here is Junior Hog, Stan, he is on the spare bed, wow, this cold weather snap has us all snuggled up in this house, although at night time it is 2 hogs, 1 mum and a small boy on the lounge......
Here we are just about to go into the Ben 10 play last Saturday and I have to inform you that I have now seen Transformers 1 & 2 - 12 times.....I am so hoping his obsession with Optimus Prime and BumbleBee dies off soon...but in saying this, we love snuggling on the lounge and after a day's work it is so relaxing and of course Josh Duhamel is perfect for this mum's eye candy......
Don't forget
Shell's 2nd candy and all you have to do is follow her......
Until next time my friends, thanks for all the inspiration on your blogs and I look forward to catching up with you all. Mel and Nate, Max and Stan.......xxxx

Nate is just the luckiest boy ever to have a mum like you. All your posts and layouts show in his eyes how much he is treasured and all the fun things you organise for him! He is loving every minute! Gah to Bumblebee... lol. Im in the same boat where everything transforms! Just LOVE your layout. Such a nice balance of elements. x
Totally awesome!!!

how cute are those photos.
Your sweet little pups are so cute!!! I agree, the life of a dog is a good one. Love your layout and the use of the circles. Enjoy the moments watching the movies. I remember those days and miss them.
I honestly haven't seen the lack of mojo in any of your work, Mel. This page is stunning. I love the less is more concept! Oh i had to laugh about Transformers LOL....that is so cute. And your little doggies are ADORABLE and look so snuggly and warm - it sure is a dog's life eh! hope you're well my sweet friend x
Absolutely stunning layout! I love the white apace..and the overall design is so effective. I love the flowers that you fussy cut and the fact that you placed your letters on transparency and over your layout..what a great idea!
What sweet dogs! :) It has been freezing this side too...so lots of snuggling happening.
I hear you on watching your child's favourite movie a 100 times over..hehehe. It's got better since my daughter has got older, but honestly when she was about 2 or 3...we watched the first Shrek movie almost every day for months...until eventually i could resite the whole movie! :)
Have a fab weekend doll...
Wow! I love your design for this Mel!! The circles are fabulous!! Your doggies are so cute.
Hope you and Nate have a wonderful weekend and stay warm. xox
LOVE the design Mel.. How strange that I'm working on a LO that has a very similar design to this.. great minds think alike.. Have a fab weekend :))) hugs
Super super super cool minimalistic layout! Love how you've created with CIRCLES as your main focus, wow!
well nobody can tell you struggled girly! It looks fabulous! So glad you got your mojo back! With the move II know I am completely distracted!
I've been wanting to do a multi-circle photo layout, and I just love, love, love your execution of it. BEAUTIFUL page!! You're little doggies are so cute. Thank you for your sweet comment on my blog. Yes, my beloved kitty seems to be on the mend (fingers crossed). Hugs!
Mel, u totally nail the challenge!! That is one beautiful piece and I love how you played with circles and the dimension is superb! Always love ur details ;) Another awesome photo of you & handsome Nate!

I just love this pictuire of the two of you!!
Your dogs looks so adorable!!
Thanks for your comment the birds are from a company called Studio 112 they came like that and they come in seveeal colors!
Next time I go to Hobby Lobby I will see if they have some more and pick you up one.
Hope you are both enjoying your weekend!!
Love that layout! Less can be more is a good lesson for me to try to work on. My kids both thought Bumblebee (in the cartoon version) was so "cute". Cracked me up!
I would say you certainly rocked that challenge with that super cool & simple design - looks ultra fab!! Lots of gorgeous photos too...our cat looks similar wrapped in blankets every night!
Hey, Mel, saw this post ages ago but couldn't leave you a comment, but just wanted to let you know I love the circles and the photo of the two of you together. You are gorgeous, inside and out, mwah!
