"A Boy Lives Here"
i created this one for ScrapMatts.. they are having a BOY/MAN month..and well we all know i have no man ..so its all boy for me.. i wanted to do a layout without a photo of my BOY in it.. so i had a little play....
Closies...
the title... some fun with some ECHO PARK and some Hambly and some OCTOBER AFTERNOON and of course the super dooper funky ScrapMatts...
some RAW gears layered up..cool hey..and then the doodling on the frame.... woot woot..

and just some randomness.... LOL.. i've had the background pp for like ages.. too scared to use it..i'm sure we all have some of THAT in our stash..well i challenged my self... bit the bullet and used it..and i likey...... lol..
and now the next ScrapMatts layout....
"Play"
had a play with my cuttle bug..the poor lil guy hardly gets used.. but ah alas he shone today.. and see how graphic this one is..slightly different but hey..

Closies...

the journalling.. and see what you can do with a couple sheets of pp and some scrapmatts..........

and then if you remember the last time i blogged.. i know like centuries ago it was about the HOLIDAY ticklez over at Scrapz.biz well here is another one from that kit....

"Than Family"

"New Home Flowers"

and since its been a little while... i used the February Boxx sketch for the inspiration.. have a look you can kind of see it there..... hehehee....
Some closies.. used my favourite hand made products again!!!
some ScrapMatts clover leaves, a Mimiko Mim flower. some Lil Red Rocket button and the flowers at the bottom of page, a Bow from Rainbow Splendour and the bird {below} and doiley from The Chip Chop Shop...
a LOOOONNNG title.. i love these.. i reckon they look great..so give one a go........
see... how coolio is that flower from Lil Red Rocket.. also the ferns are from ScrapMatts....yay.. and then the other day .. Tarj got asked to one of his new preppie buddies birthday party..so i had to make a card.. yep.....

"Happy B'Day"

closies...
From the bestest ScrapMatts the work Happy...
and then a combo of favourites.. a Pinwheel from Rainbow Splendour teamed with a large Lil Red Rocket button!!!... how fun and easy..and i actually like a card..LOL..

so then since i'm on a roll.. it is SUNDAY... so its time for some tunes...

first up..well they are a fav of mine..

LMFAO... Sorry for Party Rocking...

{its a bit drawn out at the start..but its all part of telling the story.. and i did LMFAO... they crack me up...}

and then to change it up..different tone completely..
"When We Stand Together" Nickelback

love this one coz its all about you guys out there and all my closies who have helped me heaps and remember that i will always be here for you as well.....
and then... to slow it right back a notch...
a little.. Lady Antebellum "I Run To You"

i'm having a thing for Lady at the moment.. so yes.. you are correct again.. my interests are very diverse... but that is why you love me..lol.
happy days gorgeous People........

i am SO unbelievably SORRY............

first up...

i havent been in blog land for a week or two now..and i am so sorry... i havent blogged and i havent look at anyones either ..so so sorry.. so lets just pretend that this is the start.....
hi ... my name is Leanne.. most scrappers call me Lj due to the number of Leannes that scrap... seriously.. there are quite alot.... so ..alittle about me.
i'm a single mum of two.. Tarj who is 5 (and YES just started Prep..woot woot...)
and then a super cheeky Ivy who is 4....
i have just sold the house that i used to share with my ex and am starting a whole new chapter of my life.. and seriously life at the moment is SWEET...
i'm on a couple of design teams.. The Scrapboxx... ScrapMatts {the bestest chippies EVER}.. Lil Red Rocket {hand made buttons and other gorgeousness} and Show Us Your Stuff {a challenge site which promotes the use of hand made goodies....}... so thats about it..and the reason for todays post is Show Us Your Stuff....
its the second challenge of the month and you have until the 15th of March to get your entries in..
and the criteria..
*at Least 3 Pattern Papers
*at Least 3 Embellishments
*a HEART {it is love month}
and * some Paint....
so here is my example...
"Memories"

{bahahah..yeah you may have to look closely for the 3 pp's....... lol...} but its all there and look at all that handmade goodness......and then some closies......
a cute little birdy pin from The Chip Chop Shop and a NEW Leaf Spray 03 {cb5083} from Scrapmatts........ so super versatile....
the bird cage..yep there is my paint..... another scrapmatts.. bird Cage 04 (cb4036)
the photos..and some more pp's.. and the word "Memories" is also scrapmatts..
and lastly... a SUPERB lil red rocket button..how super CUTE is that... with a heart {cb1069} from scrapmatts...

Love and Nature is all around.....

why hello blogger land peeps... i know i 've been super dooper amazingly quiet of late.. HAVE ya missed me have have YA..huh..huh?? lol. {no seriously have ya??}
anyho. its my day over at Scrapmatts.... and OMG seriously when the super amazing Sofie and Andrew sent my latest products to me i thought HOLY CRAP this stuff is delicious.. scrummy even.... and so multi purpose... so i created.. yep.. was supposed to be packing...whoops..lol... the theme for the month was Nature, Bugs Insects etc... and SHOCK horror i dont have any photos of the kids with any type of insects.. Snakes yep {which reminds me that i really should get them printed.....}... so i resorted to the gazillion photos of Serenity..and found one that was absolutely freaking PERFECT.......so i created this layout....
"Create the World"
see the new stuff.. i'll point it out in the closies and then do yourself a favour and go and visit the shop and snavel some of them up.......

oh oh and some Lil Red Rocket..yep the rosette flower and the coolio dotty button.....so the scrapmatts FERNS {cb1155 ferns 01}how amazing.. i've used them as leaves but hey.. whatever floats your boat..
and then just to add that lil somfin somfin up the top.. the Leaves.{cb1157 leaves 03}. squished in paint.. yum.oh oh and the background painty bit is a The Crafters Workshop template and paint with texture paste......
then i wanted some viney twiny stuff but wanted to help frame it so used some Flourishes...{cb4026 Flourishes}... just left them RAW baby..or i shouldve said Naked Baby..lol...
and i didnt want..or more to the point couldnt find the right spot for a big title..so just found a quote and cut it up and used it down the side.. who said you need a great big smack you up the chops title... i think it works...??maybe..lol....and then.. W A I T for it.. a CARD.. yep i know thats a couple of months in a row now...!!!!! and with February being LOVE month.. we for those of you who arent desperate and dateless that is.. bahahahaaa......
my LOVE card....
really simple on this one...
a scrapmatts word, the heart and the Heart spray.. super easy and then a banner... woot woot..

so there you have it.. i have started another layout.. living out of boxes and suitcases at the moment but the count down is DEFINATELY on until i'm into my very own place... SWEET as cherry pie...!!!... so i'm hoping to finish it Friday night before i pack it definately away before my new place complete with scrappy goodness room.......

so anyho. happy days..and LOVE ya guts.....
