Scraplift C&S: Photo Shoot (with a reluctant model)
"If you can't beat 'em, join 'em" Impossible to get a natural photo of either of my older kids these days, in which case I decided to go for the forced, artificial photo shoot and be done with things. The resulting photos were perfect for this C&S scraplift...

Rebus page: Charlotte's challenge
Charlotte put up her rebus-page for us to scraplift as the challenge for 06 April at Scrap etc. I really loved the idea of a page full of journalling, and immediately knew I was going to scrap my youngsters holiday photos from last year. They flew away...

Scrap ... Cooking !!!
Well, it's not really scrap-cooking but it was fun, and colourful, and messy, and delicious ... My daughter and youngest son hassled me into bringing them to the local book shop this morning, and while we were there they spotted this gorgeous creation:...

Scrap C&S: Celebrate you

Chain-Scraplift
I joined in the April 'Scraplift à la chaine' on Scrap etc, and this is the layout I made for it: I'm not too sure about the restult, though, I find it a little dull. It does, however, immortalise my son's desire to establish his identity by growing his...

Challenge 01 May, Scrap etc: Happiness is ...
Charlotte suggested a scraplift of Ninie's page for the challenge . My page is pretty much a carbon copy of Ninie's, I just used different papers. The photo is of my eldest two (or more precisely my daughter) feeding Noisette. It was the highlight of...

Mini Album: Les Vélos-drôles

Cute card
Well, I think it is anyhow, I love this 'Drucilla' stamp from Kraftin' Kimmie, she's so prettily dressed yet with that mischievous glint in her eye and doing something really not very pretty at all, reminds me of my kids as toddlers when they were about...

Online crop: Lunch ... at Newgrange Farm
One of the unmissable outings on our many visits to Ireland when the kids were younger was a trip to Newgrange farm, where the kids could feed the hens and lambs, muck about on the tractors and in the hay barn, dig in the sandpit and generally have an...

My N°1 Son
That's the nickname which has stuck for my eldest boy, and he loves it! It was an obvious title for this very masculine and grunge-y, very urban page: I scraplifted Fantaisy's page, (challenge 08 Jan, Scrap etc), though the end result is nothing like...

Always Higher
That was the aim of my older two, many years ago when they discovered that they could climb right to the top of the climbing frame, and they didn't even need their parent's help! Truthfully, it was so hot that year that their Dad and I were only too glad...

Un peu, beaucoup ... à la folie ...
Kaly's challenge (Scrap etc, 06 Septembre), a fantastic page with the very original idea of using an oversized photo as the main focus of the page. Here's her layout, it's just fabby!!! I admit to being disappointed with my interpretation, the title just...

School's out
Yippee!!! At last the summer holidays can begin! I am so in need of a change of pace at the moment! Anyhow, my older two finish up at 5pm this evening, but have a class party beforehand. They both begged me to make a pirate-ship cake for them to bring...

ATC Visitor cards
Charlotte had a great idea for a permanent swap on Scrap etc: an exchange of ATCs containing our details (address of blog, email, postal address, pseudo, etc). I think it's a great idea to build up an address book of ATCs like this, and would love to...

Relax!
Here's my youngest, all stretched out and exhausted after having played his heart out in the playground of Malahide Castle. I love the colours in the picture I used on this layout, that luscious green is rarely seen on the grass here in France, and it...
