Ok onto sharing a few items-

This mini album was my Dear santa Wishlist album class at scrapbook city, how cute is it! I made it for my nieces and nephew.

This card has been made out of acrylic, I really enjoyed creating it, lots of fun, the little chipboard butterflies are by Scrapware, aren't they cute!!!

this is a layout I did ages ago but haven't shared, It has been created using heidi Crace and the accucut machine at Scrapbook City!! The title is the name of my favourite song by Pete Murray! I love this layout!! The little words around the photo is a line from the song and says- "the life and love I've found stands me up on Happy ground"

Just wanted to add this photo, I used it today in my little make n take album and I love it! This was taken in July at my gorgeous husband's uni Graduation, I am just so proud of the man he is! I love this Man and how could I not!!!

Just before I go I just wanted to record for my own memory that yesterday my gorgeous Jazzy swam in her very first 25m race at her school swimming carnival and came 2nd!!! she was so excited and proud of herself and so were we, she love loves loves swimming and this was just such a great thing for her. yay for Jasmine!!!

anyway I am off to bed!
until tomorrow

love Tam
