Little Chatterbox....

Hello to you all :)))

Want to get this layout up while I have a chance...the next few days are going to be a little busy as Brad is on night shift till Friday...that will be different for all of us!!! How to keep the boys quiet thru the day while he sleeps...hmmmm that is going to be a challenge!!

On the weekend I also had a play with the latest sketch challenge at Once Upon A....Sketch. Just LOVE the gorgeous sketches that Nadia does and really wanted to do this one....

JULY 1st CHALLENGE



Journalling Criteria: Who is in the photo? Name the person in the photo and at least 1 fact about them. This can be personality, character, talent , achievement etc. but it must be at least 2 sentences long.



You are such a little chatterbox.....now if you look closely you can see the sketch.  I have changed the circle behind the photo to a Kraft envelope from Maya Road. Everything else is pretty well easily interpreted...I think so anyway.


Using some very gorgeous Sass paper which I have been holding onto for ages....and also some Prima.  I often find I hang on to things because I am waiting for that 'perfect' moment to use them...very rarely ever comes so I have decided to just get in and use them! 

A sweet little Purple Pumpkin button tucked in there too :))


And my journalling....


Hope you are all having a great week so far and thank so much for visiting :)))

    Wow Keeping Nate quiet during the day, good luck and wow the mind goes back when Nate did this, he is such a chatterbox still even with his speech difficulties, I totally understand the why's now....there is no answer that satisfies him. Oh wow Min, your gorgeous comments on my blog mean the world to me, you are such an awesome scrapper and this layout testifies that. Wowsers, you are my scrapper hero. This is stunning my friend. Thank you again for giving me some mojo, with starting work and even working from home today I still can't seem to find the time to scrap....bring on my new routine. Melxx
