Pretty In Pink Layouts
These are the 4 layouts I did using the August Pretty In Pink kit from ArtyPants. I started them back in August but it's taken me this long to finish them because of other commitments and then to photograph them and upload them.

I'm on the Multi Photo Layout Blog
Just hopped over to check out a blog and found my layout on the Multi Photo Layout blog. It's called I'mThankful and it was a journalling challenge for another blog. You can check it out here, just scroll down a little way to find it.
Cranbourne Botanical Gardens
Micayla is studying 'Mini Beasts' (insects) in school. They went on an excursion to the Cranbourne Botanical Gardens to go hunting for them. They had a guide who was very informative about the different bugs you'll find in the garden etc. The kids were given bug catchers to have a go at catching some for themselves. Micayla found a cockroach, eeeeewwww!!!
The blue thing Micayla is looking through shows you what an insect's vision looks like. Man I'd hate to have their eyesight. I thought mine was bad, needing an extra pair of glasses over my glasses (when working on fine work of course) but they see multi images all at once. Like having a pair of glasses with lenses made from honeycomb. What the.....????
They were also given nets to scoop up the water to see how many bugs are living in the lake. They emptied the nets into a dish of water to see what would be swimming around. They found mosquito larvae, little wormy thingies, all sorts of bugs.
After lunch we had a look around the gardens. There were some beautiful gardens and I got some great pics. Here is one of Micayla posing for one. Getting used to me doing this she is. Not complaining too much yet. Give her time though!!
These are some of Micayla's friends. They were the group of kids I had to look after for the day. In case you haven't already figured it out, I decided to torture myself and go along to help out, LOL, but seriously it was fun and I'd never been to these gardens before. Micayla really loved having me there and it was great spending the day with her and her friends. The two boys are Kyle and Jordan and Emma is on the end. Emma was also in her prep class, she lives around the corner from us and they play after school together a lot, while I have coffee with her mum. They also do Gymnastics together.
This is at the end of the day before her class got back on the bus. Micayla round them all up for a group photo. A budding photographer, organised them very well.

Time to Share
I can now reveal the layouts I did for the ArtyPants Design Team for the September kit - available now. Check it out here.
Go Holden. This photo was taken at the Fox's on the Holden couch thingy.
Rookie - These photos were taken when Adrian took the kids to Tasman Motorsports while I was away on a girls weekend. They got to meet Jason Richards and Greg Murphy.
Sprained Foot. Bailey sprained his foot jumping off the back of the couch when he was flapping his wings pretending to be a bird.

More Scrapping News
Keep an eye out for Scrapbook Creations issue number 49 coming out in the next couple of months. My mini book that I originally made for the Scrapbooking Memories Masters competition is being featured as a step by step how to project. I'm so excited. That means now I've been published in all 3 magazines. Well I will be once issue 49 is released. Can't wait to see it in print.
Also,
Each month we upload our favourite photos on the ArtyPants forum. I think I may have explained this once before. Well for August I got drawn out again to take part in the photo swap with Julie, One of the Design Team members. Julie is quick off the mark and has already completed the layout with my photos. I've yet to do hers for her. Will get to it very soon I promise Julie. Anyway this is what she did for me and I absolutely LOVE IT.
Jodie has also finished the layout from last month of Micayla. There is a picture on her blog. Click here to view the layout.

Joe and Zoe's Engagement
These are the photos I promised I'd share that were taken at Joe and Zoe's Engagement last Saturday night. They still need editing so excuse the rawness of them.
