What do you think?! I LOVE it!!

Its a Premade Blog Layout from The Design Girl I love her things, she's totally AWESOME!! What's even better is that I WON it!!

My friend Beth has had a terrible few months, she's gone through Cervical Cancer and had a Hystorectomy. Along with the help from many of her friends in the Scrap world, she's put together a raffle to raise money to help to pay her medical bills. You can find her Raffle here Please go buy some tickets :-) You can also show your support by wearing her badge from her blog.

As well as winning the blog makeover, I also won the entire store of Misty O'Brien!! How lucky am I?!! I NEVER win anything! I'm in the process of DLing it all, taks ages with my internet collection :-( Can't wait to make some layouts with those fab kits

Best go get on with our dinner, Hubby will be home soon, after working away all week

Daddy's Little Girl

My hubby and darling daughter are so funny together, they're two crazy kids! They love fooling around and playing funny faces. I decided to use some pics of them to make a new layout. I bought some new kits the other day from Scrap Orchard, one of them was The Art in Me by Tracie Stroud.

Here's the layout I made with it:

I need to make me some more!!

New Layouts

I'm really rubbish aat this blogging lol! Thank goodness its just a bit of a hobby!

I bought one of Lliella's new kits a couple of weeks ago, I love her kits, they're so fun!! This time it was Choo Choo Bear, which is available to buy at Sweet Shoppe Designs

Here's a preview of the kit





and here's my layouts






That's all for now :-)

Been a while!

Oh wow, its been a Loooong time since I posted!!

Have been busy with lots of different project and being a mother. This week has been a particularly difficult one. My little man has been diagnosed with Swine Flu and I'm feeling under the weather too :-( Hopefully we'll be over it very soon and back to our usually chirpy selves :-)

I've been making some tickets for my daughter's school - its the Halloween disco coming up, so I've done them for it. I decided I'd make a LO of my daughter and my friend's son - the photo is from last year's disco!

I made it with a freebie kit I got from Simply Clean Digi Scraps
Here's the kit

and here's the LO

See you soon!

Bank Holiday Weekend

Wow I've been busy!!

Its Bank Holiday Weekend here and we've had lots of family visiting! Mike's brother, his partner and their baby came to visit, then my parents came to bring Beth home (she's been away for 3 weeks). Its certainly been non-stop!

Hoping to get some more 'me' time soon, will probably be when the kids are back to school, get into my usual routine. This next week I plan to do lots of things and take the kids all over - hope the weather stays dry :-S

I was desperate to do some scrapping, so have sat here and taken some time for myself (should be doing 101 other things though!) lol! I've not used a template before, so thought I'd look for one.

I used this one by Kristin Aagard, you can click the template to take you to her blog:

I was looking for a kit that would go well with a photo of Beth and her friend, taken at their first school prom and Kissable by Traci Reed was absolutely PERFECT for the job! So here's they layout:

Off to bed now, before another fun packed day :-)

A busy day ahead!

I was up at 5.30am this morning - don't you just love it when the kids think its time to get up?! Have got some bits and bobs done this morning, have some more to do now, but will add the new LO I made this morning first. It was my little man's Birthday a couple of weeks ago, so I thought I'd use some of his pics. I can't believe he's 2 already - a baby, no more!

Here's the layout:

I made it with Party Poppin' Fun by Lliella Designs at Sweet Shoppe Designs:

Anyway, I'd best go get organised for the day!

Wow another Layout

I've had a busy couple of days, spending time with friends :-) Looking forward to going shopping with a friend tomorrow! We'll be child free too, which is a HUGE bonus! Shopping without having to push prams around obstacle courses, that are the small shops!

I really should be in bed now, but I really wanted to make another Layout! So here it is:

I made it using this kit by Lara's Digi World, which I bought from Pickleberrypop:

Think I'd better be off, have very stingy eyes now lol!

Thought I'd test my signature, trying to get everything co-ordinated here.

I don't know why I do it to myself, I have nothing to do for weeks and then I decide to start on 101 different projects all together, making it difficult to get them all done! I guess I need to prioritise - so today:

• Do a bit of work on my website
• Go for lunch with the girls
• Maybe a little housework?!

Evan's a tired boy - he's curled up on my knee, watching Handy Manny and he's naked! He's developed a fascination with taking all of his clothes off, sometimes I wonder why I bother dressing him lol!

Guess I should go do something from my list....

New Skin

I thought I'd make myself a new skin for my blog, fancied something different. Its still a work in progress - need to figure out how to get one or two things into place!

I LOVE Sweet Shoppe Designs!! So I used this kit by Melissa Bennett:

Its almost Midnight here, I'm the only one still awake - Guess I should head up the stairs very soon!

Jumping on the bandwagon - My first Layout!

I decided that I'd have a little play this afternoon and remembered I had some pictures of Mike and his Dad in silly poses, so thought I'd use them to create my first LO.
So here it is....



I made it using this kit

More to follow ;-)

Maybe a bad idea?! lol!

Ok, so maybe Me + a Blog = Not the best idea in the world!! I must try better! I've been sooo busy here, I guess with school being out and the sun shining (some of the time)!

I will be back very soon, sometime this week and will update ;-)

My Blog....hmmmmm!

Ok so this is my blog....never thought about blogging before, but here I am and I blame my friend Beth!

So who am I? I'm Rach, a 27 year old SAHM to 2 wonderful children - Bethany (9) and Evan (22mths). I'm wife to a wonderful man - Mike, who is in the Royal Air Force. We are currently living on a RAF base in Norfolk, UK.

When I'm not running around, cooking, cleaning, etc I like to spend my spare time with my family at the woods, on the beach, anywhere really! I also love Digital Scrapbooking, making Blinkies, Siggys, Layouts and skins - you can see my work and the work of some very talented ladies here at Crazy Ladies Creations :-)

I'll share a few photos with you:

Here's Beth and I

Mike & Evan

Mike & I

Its Saturday morning here, it my turn to get up with the kids and Mike have a lie-in. Evan decided that 6.15am was a good time to get up and who am I to argue lol! We've had our breakfast and Evan's happily playing. Beth is still upstairs, I don't think she's asleep though, as I can hear the floorboards creeking. Its a beautiful morning here, lovely and sunny :-) What to do today?

Hope everyone has a great weekend - I'll be back for my next update soon x
