LO's #2 aand #3 for 2010

Seems Mo has left the house Jo was here I done these 2 LO's on Tuesday night scrapping but could not think of a title and still had to embellish it which took up until last night, when I finally finished them.... I have used bazzil, DCWV pp, stamping, buttons, buzz and bloom chippy buttons, Edwin, mesh and thickers...

2010 LO #1

Well 2010 is here Happy New Year bloggers hope you have a great one xxx

As I haven't scrapped for 2/3 weeks I set myself a challenge and also put it up at the challenge chics as its been so quiet over there.... The challenge was to use some of your stash up and use papers you bought last year, something that has been in my stash for that long and hardly gets used anymore is Fozz felt and finally buttons as I have stacks of them too.... then add anything else you like.. Here is what I done last night and added the final touches this arvo after picking the the 2 big kids up from Albury as they spent the week in Mansfield with their Aunts and cousins...
Jess took the cool pic over at the dam one day when their dad took them for a drive I stayed home and cleaned the carpet on that day..

Thanks for looking bloggers and feel free to do my challenge too...
