I love that saying right now – trying to do more of that – ya know – keeping it real. And I have just stolen that from Sasha’s blog – cos she is such a cool scrapper. Oh oh hope she doesn’t mind me linking here her.
So anyway while on that note a few more lo’s from me.
First one is for the jack me up challenge which finished yesterday but sshh don’t tell them I’m late ok?
I just went with the title of Yvette’s lo and did some of my boys faves right now.

Another Jaymin page – quite the fisherman he is. I still have those fish in the freezer cos they are a bit small to eat but hey I can’t just throw them away.

Next I love this photo of my Mum taken last Christmas.

And one more just cos – I was just really feeling the love for my son at the time so what better time to do a lo of him and I. We were probably arguing not long after but hey that’s life.

Can you tell I have a new favourite toy? I think I have used it on all these lo’s. I got given it as a freebie back at Crafting Connection 2 years ago and thought then – what the heck – I’m never gonna use this thing. And well I never did until…..I found it the other day and thought i”d give it a try and you know what I love it. Well can you guess? It’s my Heidi Swapp edge distresser – LOVE IT – seriously. Can’t stop using it. It’s just so clever.
And this was my lo for bossy scrapper over at SBD. So much fun. Lizzie was a good boss and I love this lo.
Anyway that’s it – it’s all about the lo’s this time.
Jaymin is still home sick today. Has been since Monday last week so not much happening here – just doing all the good Mummy things.
Laters chickies

Wow, those are all great layouts, you certainly have been really busy! Love the distressing, it really does add a special something to a layout.

And lots of layouts there are too – well done you! I’ve got one of those thingies as well and they are very cool. Does make such a difference. Hope Jaymin feeling better – Aaron does a moan every morning about how he feels sick but soon gets over it as I can’t decide if its for real or not! LOL

OMG Roo! You have been busy with a capital B.
Love all these layouts and I love those distressed edges too.
Your Mum looks like a lot of fun. Neat photo!

That’s lots of layouts! I specially like the ‘how did I get to be so lucky’ one. And I’ve just rediscovered my heidi swapp edge distresser too … I quite like the look and how it covers up the fact that I have a blunt blade in my trimmer!

WOW, WOW, WOW, some awesome layouts there! Hmm, loving the distressed look, I think I need that tool.
I think Jack Me Up will just be pleased to have another entry too, LOL.

Yeppers – the distressy thing does good stuff for making those edges stand out. Boys you’ve been busy! Go you

Hope Jaymin gets well soon, prro guy. Loved your take on the bossy scrapper, I have yet to finish mine, the olympic sketch took up some time. Thats my aim for Tuesday. You have been busy and I like your real scrapping. Loving the use of text (ripped pages) being included. Isn’t it great to rediscover old tools. I have one of those must remember that for next time.
