WW1, Get Picky and a Woot woot for my Mum

Gooooooood Morning lovelies.

I have to begin my post by giving my Mum a big toot.  She had her first acceptance by Scrapbooking Memories for a gorgeous page she did.  If it goes to publication I will be sure to let you know when to look out for her.

Get Picky's challenge is to use this photo as inspiration for your layout, share the story and include 4 photos.
I had the perfect pics sitting in my "to scrap stash".

Now the circle framing DS....how did I create it??  Well I wanted to use the ribbon somewhere on my page and beside me was the left over of a double sided tape roll which I use as a circle template.  So I used it to wrap the ribbon around and wala, a frame.


And now my WW1 page for Feb.  The challenge this month is to use White + Lemon + 3 photos. 
Again, these photos had been sitting in my "to scrap stash" for a long time.  And I did not have any lemon paper so I created a background using mist and doilies as a mask.....
This is a bit "pretty" for me so not a fave but I think it goes nicely with the photos anyway.
I wrote the journaling in yellow so it is a bit hard to read but it says "as hard as you try not to, I can always make you smile".

Well my friends, it is time to go and pick my gal up from Kinder.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
DH is supposed to be taking the boys camping......I am not sure if I should call Child Welfare or not.  He has a tent, mattresses and sleeping bags.  But he says he is organised.  Not sure what they are going to eat, drink or wear.....he told me it was a boys trip and they don't need much so as much as I want to get involved (I am holding onto the door frame to stop myself ) to make sure they are looked after.....I will step back and let it be a 'boy's trip' and I will be there to cuddle them when they get home and re assure them they are safe....lol.
But I am sure I will be back Monday to tell you they didn't end up going.
But, if they do go, the Princess and I will have a nice quiet weekend at home......ahhhhhh, the serenity.

    Beautiful, beautiful work Jasmine. I love the frame on the first one- always dig cool original ideas like that :).
    On the second, I just love all the yellow- the doilies and the masking- divine.
    Well done :).
    Oh, and your boys will be alright. I'm a little jealous, however- WE never got to take mattresses along on camping trips!! LOL~

    Hi, just catching up on my visiting. Having no internet is no fun!
    Glad I saw these beauties though.
    Perfect photo's to scrap for the Get Picky inspiration and love the nifty idea with the ribbon covered 'frame'.
    The WW1 layout is beautiful, great background you've created and all the embellies are just perfect.
