Found the noisy frogs!

For the last few months #1 son has had disturbed sleep thanks to two very noisy frogs in the water feature at the back door. I have encouraged them to move out by putting additives in the water but they didn't seem to mind. But, on tuesday, the two little boys were digging in the sand and found them! So without further ado, here they are...
one happy, one not so...

Shop & Crop News

I got to set the Design Team Monthly Challenge for November so here it is. Why not come on over to Shop & Crop and join in, you could even win a $20 voucher for the shop where there will be some fantastic new 7 Gypsies coming soon!

The November Challenge is to create a page using only one range of papers and elements. You can use any alphas for titles and journalling, but no cardstock and only one paper range. I have used the gorgeous kit Ooh La La For Him from My Minds Eye, which is available at Shop and Crop. Entries close 30 November and the most creative entry will win a $20 S&C voucher!
Upload your layouts here, and be sure to have fun!

Here's my example page...

Girls Night In

My gym is having a Girl's Night In with an auction and bra decorating comp. at the end of the month to raise funds for Breast Cancer, an insidious disease that affects way too many women, several of my friends included. So I decided to make a donation for the auction.....


She is framed for hanging, and I quite like her.

Had time to play :-)

I'm struggling with an obscenely overcrowded desk so my recent pages are mostly created from what is at hand, stuff half-used but too significant to bin. They don't usually match and sometimes the whole act of putting them together leads to a very slap-dash job. But the stories are being told, they are in the albums, and I don't really have to love the look of them, they are meaningful for the family. It is also quite cathartic to create copious amounts just for the act of doing it, it helps me to stay in the zone and means that things improve and I end up doing some stuff which I love.

So here are a few ho-hum pages (inspired by challenge blogs) of which I'm not too fond.....

At Scrapping Word Pictures
and BASBand Ad This, this is from the sept. 28 challenge, I can't ever seem to get them in on time
