I was excited to see the new challenge series running over at Aussie Scrap Source
Style Lounge inspires you to try different styles of scrapping and the first one is Shabby Chic
and here is my ummm attempt
used the cool new signboards from Scrapmatts,
spraying it with glimmer mist and backing it with some vintage paper from a dictionary
used some Prima flowers and a Making Memories butterfly, that was placed in a Tim Holtz photo holder
The paint colour was a little daunting but I just pretended it wasn’t soft pink and the cream was black
I think it worked 
Yesterday the girls decided to pull out their Thomas sets
They all have a couple of sets each and have enough, between them, to loop the house and beyond
They continued with their ‘Thomas-ing’ again today
and this was the sight that greeted Uncle Samuel when he arrived for a visit this afternoon
Jessica spent most of her afternoon at a birthday party
All the guests were put into teams and they all competed in an Amazing Race
Jessica came home very tired after enjoying the day immensely
Her team came first and they all received certificates and got to keep their team bandannas
and now it’s time for me to put my feet up, to sip on a coffee and to have a nuggle with Dave
Gorgeous Sharmaine, love your work...awesome.

I love the flowers on your page.. I don't think I could resist the urge to use them in my hair.. or my baby girl's hair :) Very pretty page and your girls are growing so beautiful!
