My Little Shoebox Sketch challenge. Handmade by Suzanne

Hello everyone,  hope you and your families are well. Well the scrapping bug didn't take long to hit me and I am so happy. I have missed it so much. The above layout is for the sketch challenge at My Little Shoe Box this month, I just scraped it in. This is Hog Senior, and he has an obsession too, with balls, at 14.5 yrs he will still chase a ball 24/7. God Bless this gorgeous animal.

The layout below is for Handmade by Suzanne's sketch this month, Sam Hauzer designed the sketch and I just loved it. Just before Christmas our Lady's Group went to the Queen's Park restaurant for lunch and we drove Dawn, Nate took her hand and said "Follw me", it was just so cute.

It is super hot here at the moment and with all the rain we had it seems like Summer is finally here (well the heat) anyway. We have a belated Australia Day party in the park this afternoon so Nate will have a great time, but you know I look forward to it, but will be looking forward to coming home to scrap tonight too. Told you I have the bug.....

Take care until next time, off to check out your amazing blogs, you are all the reason I have the bug back, thank you. Love Melxx

Sketches 4 all Rak challenge, Handmade by Suzanne

Hi everyone, hope you all had a fabulous weekend, we did, started off with a fantastic day Friday, Saturday we had a Christmas Party for local Charity I volunteer for and Sunday I took the 2 dogs and a small boy to have their photo taken with Santa, our local shopping centre put on a day we could bring our animals to sit with Santa too, the boys (all 3 of them) were fantastic.

The above layout is for my challenge for Sketches 4 all for their 1st birthday celebrations,

The challenge is: Make a Christmas layout using what you call the traditional colours for Christmas. I am a red green white girl, what are your traditional colours,  once you create your layout just post it in the Sketches 4 all gallery HERE and you could win this Rak from me.

The layout below is one I created for the "Handmade by Suzanne" sketch challenge this month, I used the gorgeous Sass Lass papers and my favourite flourishes at present "Flourish with a Bling" just love there awesome gloss finishes. I hope you like the layout: The gorgeous border punch blue paper side and bottom was courtesy of Cathy Cafun....

And you know I cannot leave you without a pic of Nate:

Santa couldn't make the Christmas party for the Charity but Mrs Claus was on hand to distribute the pressies, Nate and I had a wonderful time.

Love to each and all of you. Melxx
