Helping Hudson - A Wheely Great Cause Challenge

Well it is the turn of Stampamemory to host a challenge to help the Helping Hudson - A Wheely Great Cause event happening this month. 

The challenge is to scrapbook a moment in your life involving WHEELS - could be your first wheels, your child's first driving lesson, your very first bike, or how about some roller blading antics?

And here's my page, this is Kieran age 15 months in September 1999.  When I saw these photos I couldn't believe that I had forgotten that my lad was this small and cute ...

I made this page last week, before I knew that the Just Riding set was on the Last Chance List.  I coloured the wheels using the marker pens and punched them out with a 1" circle punch.

I have been dying to use the red floral paper from the Pink Flamingo paper set (which is currently 50% off) - and the Summer Sun and Brilliant Blue I have matched with it are both colours on the Colour Renovation Farewell List .... I couldn't' have planned it better if I had tried could I.

And here's a close of my gorgeous little lad - look at those chubby legs and rosy cheeks :)  Thank god he doesn't read my blog - he'd kill me for saying things like that.

So how can you enter the challenge .... hop on over to Stampamemory and enter your page, if you don't have a site and want to be in a with a chance to win some of these yummy prizes email me a photo of your page and I'll load it up onto the Helping Hudson Challenges site.  

Don't forget to check out the Helping Hudson a Wheely Great Cause site - there are packs of tutorials for sale including a yummy scrapbooking one - ten tutorials for $10.

  

 

  

Just Riding

Just a quick one from me today ... work is a little hectic shall we say ... but nothing new there really - just ten and eleven hour days are eating into my crafting time which isn't good at all .... in fact it's eating into my whole life but there is light at the end of the tunnel and so I know it won't last long.

Here's a card I made last weekend for one of Kieran's best friends.  using the Just Riding set and some torn paper and sponges this was very quick to make.  I have seen this image somewhere about a year ago (if you know where I saw it let me know so that I can give credit where credit is due please)  ... and I would have liked to use the brayer but I have misplaced it .... I have put it somewhere safe and now I can't find it!  But anyway, the sponge did the trick.

The little sentiment 'way 2 go' is from the new Level 1 hostess set that is only available until the end of August ... if you want to know how you can get your own set just give me a call or email.

Have a lovely day .... back on Monday with Making Merry Monday and I am going to set some time aside this weekend to rustle up a few more things to share with you.

 

Happy Birthday Indi

Indi our nephew is celebrating his birthday today - making cool cards for teenagers is a hard task ... not sure I got it quite right but Kieran loved the bike so I might be on the right track ... almost!

This is the Just Riding set and I was going for a grungy look ... I have a scrapbooking page in my head using this set ... with faux tiling ... hoping to get the time to make it happen one night this week.

Happy Birthday Indi - we hope you have a great day.

Love from Uncle Paul, Auntie Nikki, Olivia and Kieran xxxx
