White with 1 Feb Challenge, Kraft it Up Feb Challenge

Hi everyone, well after 5 days of unbearable heat it is overcast today which has relieved the scorching temps just a little. Hope you all had great weekends, we went to the outdoor movies to see "Alvin & the chipmunks 2" and it was wonderful, Nate was mesmerised.

The above layout is for the White with 1 challenge this month, I enjoyed pulling apart a pattern to make the frill on the outside edge and added a sentitment I hope Nate will read one day. We were mucking around in the backyard in this photo and he was giving me kisses then just licked me.....well it was just a stage he was going through I guess because it hasn't happenned again and I just had to document it.

This is my layout for Kraft it Up this month, Black orange and Teal were the criteria and this is Nate and Cooper looking out at the view from the new bridge in town that links Riverlink to the Mall.

And well this photo is Nate (with a milk moustache) responding to me when I asked him to look at me as this is sometimes the only way I know he is actually listening to me......."I see you mum" he said.

Hope you are all well wherever in the world you are, off now to check out your layouts for some inspiration. Love Melxx

White with 1, Meeting Cathy Cafun

Hello everyone, hope your weekend has started well, it is soooo hot here, it must be going to storm I think, we are popping over to a friend from Lady's group to have a swim with her and her grand daughter, which means I will probably start a diet tomorrow once I see myself in my swimmers for this summer. lol

I had the opportunity yesterday to meet up with someone I met online through this wonderful hobby, I just loooooove her work, and to see some of it in real life, wow well what can you say, she blows me away and not to mention her amazing scrap area......Oh wow------ It was Cathy Cafun, and I was excited but a little scared as I had a little drive to get there, but found her place okay and well to say "we hit it off" I think justifies the fact that no scrapping was achieved. lol we just talked but we have said that next visit we will scrap.......I got to meet her beautiful children, and Nate just loved them as you can see below.

Cathy is on the Design Team for White with 1 and this month the challenge was to do a layout with white and yellow and journalling straight on the layout itself, you know this really challenged me, there is a little extra colour in the ink I used to highlight the edges of my handmade flowers, I used Sass Lass papers here, and I cut up tape measure and the pics are Nate playing on his swing out the back.....he is always wanting to go higher and higher. The chipboard circles and sass lass paper from the Mix and Mend range is from Tracey at My2angels.

Cathy and me

Brittany and Nate playing X-box. He told me last night he is going to marry her......she wants to be a doctor so this mum is all for it....she is just gorgeous to boot....good choice son.

Nate's new friend Luke. What a gorgeous boy, so polite and great with Nate. Thanks Lukey for teaching Nate how to use K'nex, and sharing your hot chips with him and showing us a little more about Cosplay.

Aunty Jan is coming down tonight so I am going to do a layout.....Hope you are all well, will check out your blogs over the next day or two, Love you all dear friends. Melxx
