Helen's family news and scrapping blog

Great excitement yesterday in this house! A tooth fell out - a legit one! LOL! Hugh lost his first tooth at this same age so it was not a surprise. And besides, Katie has had two front loose teeth for almost two years now that I have been nurturing. They are the result of on more than one occasion landing teeth first on mishaps! She was so excited to finally "be like Hugh"! And as the first lost tooth is a novel occasion, the tooth fairy delivered a gorgeous little stuffed puppy dog! Gold coin donations from now on!


Natasha has a fabulous new kit out "wind of change". The sad news is she will no longer be selling at Oscraps and has become exlusive to Shabby Pickle Designs. But each time I receive her kits and see what her CT does with them, I am filled with inspiration to "scrap outside the box". I am always really grateful for that. A link to Natasha's new store is in my sidebar. And remember for credits on any page you see here, please click on the image.




Over at Oscraps I completed the "Ostash" challenge using all of Kitty Designs. I love her stuff so much. It was a challenge to do a week in review and as this is Katie's last year at home I decided to document our regular weekly activities.

Ange has a fabulous new kit out "serenite" at digital-crea.fr! The elements totally inspired the journaling for this page.

Ange and Dumpty have also put together this FREE word art pack. So be sure to drop by Ange's blog (links in my sidebar) to collect your own set.

Now the big news this week is Sue Cummings is in the Designer Spotlight over at Oscraps. Always an action packed week, be sure to drop in. Here is the mini kit you can grab for FREE!

This kit is so versatile and the word art lends itself to so many occasions I am scrapping up a storm. Here is what I have come up with so far and I am not finished yet ;)

Be sure to check out Sue's blog to check out all the details and grab some awesome freebies like the two quick pages I used on a couple of the above pages. She is one of the most generous people you are likely to come across and if you subscribe to her newsletter you will receive regular freebies even after the Spotlight is over.

Well the week for me is at an end and we have a wonderful celebration this weekend so hopefully there will be more photos to share next time around.
