Lollipop Ladies, Bad Blogger

Hello friends, well it has been a terrible time with Blogger this whole week for me, thankfully, it is all back to okay again, only makes me think I did the best thing by printing my whole blog out a few weeks ago, should come today so I will show you the book soon.


Well Lollipop ladies has their new challenge up, this time it is custard (see the gorgeous inspiration Picture here ) it wouldn't let me copy it over today....Bad blogger, the added criteria is to make it a bit shabby so that is what I tried to achieve here, by inking, and layering. I hope you like my design. Please pop over it is such an awesome challenge site.

 Here is my toothless terror, on the trampoline with a sheet over the clothesline so he and Charlie can make a tent over them.

Here is little miss Charlie, she loves to do whatever Nate does, so thankfully this mum has more than 1 Spiderman suit.


I will pop to your blogs this weekend, sorry about the problems but like I said Blogger has been playing silly buggers.


Love to you all. Melxx

Lollipop Ladies 2nd monthly challenge, Challenge Masters Corregated layout

Morning everyone, super cold here is Ipswich today, but the sun is shining and it is expected to be a perfect 24 degrees....The above layout is for our 2nd challenge at lollipop Ladies, how gorgeous is the inspiration photo below. Adding circles or squares is the added criteria, I squared a few papers on here and also added the great clock embellishment from My2angels for one of my circular pieces. Please go here and check out the other awesome designs from the DT here.

I created this layout for the awesome Corregated Challenge at Challenge Masters HERE, I love these photos of Tracy and Ann, when I visited the My2Angels shop recently.

Master Nate had a little accident on his bike this last week, he fell off and severed his front tooth just under the gum, we have seen to the hanging bit but now he has to go into hospital to get the roots removed, thankfully they are just baby teeth, I will take a photo for next post but am still in a little shock with it all at this stage, he was so super brave at the Dentist and Hospital.....

Love to you all, now blogger is up and running I will be visiting you all real soon. Love Melxx

Lollipop Ladies Challenge, Get Picky entry

Hello dear friends, can you believe it is the end of the month already, if you are finished all your challenges Lollipop ladies has just brought out their inspiration challenge (below), with such beautiful reds and yellows and greens, I just had to use the gorgeous Echo Park papers I got in the gorgeous Nook Kit.  This is Nate using the clippers on poor old Maxi, and before too long he will be quite good at it too. In the background are Nate and my handprints using paint.  If you would like to join in on the Lollipop Ladies challenge you can view the beautiful cards and other layouts the DT did for this challenge HERE......

This is my Get Picky entry this month, I just loved the gorgeous sketch and I had to use these photos of my milk moustache boy with what looks like the only way he can focus long enough to look at me.....I just love these pics.  Okay I have just gone over to get the link and I have missed the boat, that'll teach me to look more closely at dates. lol. I had heaps of fun anyway.

Hope everyone is well and happy and I look forward to catching up with you all to check out your works of art. Melxxx

Lollipop Ladies

Hello everyone, I am sorry that I have been away so long, I scheduled a post and it has not gone onto my blog, Nate and I are back from holiday yesterday afternoon. Without further ado this is the first inspiration layout for LOLLIPOP LADIES for April, now I so tried to get a picture of the gorgeous macaroons that is the inspiration this month but I just couldn't get it to work for me. So please pop over HERE to see it.

I used the gorgeous Bella Estate Sale papers for this and I always love SEI's gorgeous "chocolate" papers too. I added a cute little charm mum had on her car keys when I was little and some gorgeous American crafts felt leaves. I used dimensional magic to add some gloss to the petals of my flowers to make them shine and this is the extra criteria for this challenge.

I have really missed you all as visiting your blogs has become part of my daily life now. Hope you are all well and scrapping up a storm,  off to "Sing and Grow" and then back to visit you all and check out what you have all been doing. Love you and missed you all heaps. Melxx

Scrap it Lah, Lollipop Ladies

Hello everyone, I have completed 2 layouts this week so far, and being a slow scrapper and mum to Nate this is a real accomplishment. The above layout is for Scrap-it-Lah, have some good friends on the DT there and they inspired me to do this challenge which was to make a layout for Valentine's Day not using any pinks or reds.

This layout is for Lollipop Ladies, had to be inspired by mint, fudge and chocolate this month, I totall enjoyed using these prima and Webster's papers and if their is a positive to come out of the floods here is that I lost a lot of supplies but it is making me go to the older stored papers that survived.

I am praying that no-one was hurt with the devastation Cyclone Yasi created this week. Crazy weather all around the world at the moment. I have charity work at Gleaners today, and tomorrow we are going to movies in the park - Alvin & the Chipmunks is playing.

Hope you are all well, off to be inspired by your works. Love Melxx
