Paper Layout Monday take 2

A while back I said I was going to share a paper layout of mine each Monday, but it never really happened. So this time, with a little more determination, I am trying again so here is the first:


I will be back tomorrow with my 'what I bought on DSD list'.

Happy DSD

My DSD shopping list is surprisingly small this year. I would love to hear what you have on your list or what you have already purchased.

So much is going on at the lilypad this weekend, not just sales but a new designer, a new guest, a new BYOC and now an open forum!! with tonnes of challenges. So drop in and say hi.

There is also, of course the blog-hop. I have this quick page to share:

If download has expired, try link 2, etc

To continue on to the next blog, go visit the uber-talented Kristin Tilley, here.

If you need to start at the beginning (there are a total of 14 blogs, each with a little gift) or want to read about the prize for collecting and using all 14 gifts, visit Amy Martin's blog.

mwah! thanks for dropping by.

Hope you all had a great weekend. I did!

I think this might be my favorite page so far:


Well the Saints didn't win today, I think they deserved to. But it was still a great game.

Tracy Ann has a heap of gorgeous new stuff. Here are two recent TADA layouts of mine. Thanks to mumure and Kate Hadfield for the standouts mentions.

I won!

I am so excited I won a place in Ali's Yesterday & Today class at Big Picture Scrapbooking on her blog. What a great thing to wake up to this morning.

I can't wait to do this class, I love the idea of telling stories in my pages. So often I tend to get caught up in making my page look great or pretty or praise-worthy and I forget the stories, especially MY stories. And after loosing two of my grandparents recently I really want to sit down with the one I have left and document some of her stories.

Today is grand final day. I really love Aussie rules, even though I grew up with League and I love finals fever, but I also love that we are done with football for the year. It does take up a lot of our time as a family and has been a big commitment this year with Steve coaching. I am sad that Carlton are not in the grand final, but I do have a soft spot for St Kilda and it would be nice for them to win. So go the Saints!!
