The papers are from Jillibean Soup and again layering different papers to get the texture and dimension I see to have gravitated to.
This is my cousin Alex(far right), can you believe I met him at the Burleigh Heads kids park, I said "Hey is that you Mr. Crighton" and he was super stunned too and said "yes it is Miss O'Neill"...he was leaving that day to go home with his family, damm, but we still had a great day together, the kids got on really well, Nate loves his cousins, we haven't gone there with the 2nd cousin thing (the explaining) they are his cousins and that is how we have left it, Alex was always my fave cousin, he is my age and we had to go through 12 months of communion training together every Friday....say no more.....
The other part of the contests for the Celebrations were to make up a poem......well here was my poem, first time so be kind.
NATE AND ME
So now I am a mum
never sitting on my bum
Putting things away
Is it really already May
The things you say are funny
that's right we're out of honey
You love your 2 black poodles
Hang on, I have to turn off the noodles
Not as much time to scrap
And forget about that arvo nap
I love you so very much my boy
You are a delight, my love, my joy
by Melissa O'Neill

Mel, let me tell you again that you are such a talented artist! I always glue to ur details and ur colors. They are just so divine. It is so cute to see the kiddos on the bike and what a great way to extract the colors from the photo, i do that too :)

Love this one Mel! Great work!! Blogger has been impossible lately...sorry for the late visit!
Thanks for the wonderful comment on my blog! You shouldn’t complain about the scrapbooking shops in Australia! I’ve been looking all over for the Sakura collection from Creative Imaginations during the whole spring. They will not get it in any shops here in Sweden and not in the web shop I ordered from in USA either – but I found it in a web shop in Australia! I haven’t decided yet whether I will buy the papers or not… Do you know if “Camelot Studio” is a price worthy and reliable web shop?
This layout is beautiful as always! I love it! And I love the adorable photos too!
Hi Mel, debtor for the affection in mine blog, I adore its Los, always very pretty! Kisses.
Gorgeous page Mel, and the poem just spot on loved it!. Cheers
Love the sweet poem, Mel. And how fun that you met your cousin! I spy that fave tshirt again hee hee ;)
Oh how I loooove your layout too - the stars and the letters overlapping each other look FABULOUS!!!
Neat layout and sweet poem. My grands just know "cousins from the family reunion" (that we have every year) - I can't even think about the "2nd cousin", "1st cousin once removed" and all the other confusing relationships. We just leave it at "cousin" - but isn't it wonderful!!
Marvelous post, I esp love that first layout! Those stars totally pop! I am linking this up on Practical Scrappers!
I love your little poem - it is absolutely the height of cuteness & loveliness & made me smile :) Love that photo of your cousin with Nate & the kids - looks like a fun day out! and the card is a delight :)
Love your LO for the ARTastic challenge - I'm looking forward to working alongside you on the DT - awesome work!1
