Check out my Slide Show!
This is a collection of layouts I have done for a custom album for a friend of mine. Obviously since it is an entire album, the individual pages are not as elaborate as my DT pages. I am happy with the overall effect of the album though. I used Cloud 9 papers and embellishments which was a perfect range for a little boy album. Now onto the girl one for his sister. Thanks for letting me share ELizabeth.

A reminder
I've mentioned this before, but here is another reminder:
I AM A Scrapaholic's new Out From Behind the Camera Challenge Series is designed to help you scrap more about yourself. You may create an album all about you just for you; you may just want to add your layouts to your current albums, or a combination thereof. It’s entirely up to you. The most important thing is to get you into your albums, to celebrate you, and to leave an important legacy for your family. Remember the people you scrap about will also enjoy seeing layouts about you too!
Week by week we will help you with themes, sketches, samples and ideas to help you along the way. You will earn RAKs and discounts along the way. But, most importantly you will have layouts about you.
Each month will focus on a theme.
Each Monday a new challenge will be posted. The challenge will include a topic [subject] and a sketch exclusive to I AM A Scrapaholic for you to use (if you choose), and samples by the Design Team.
You can pick and choose the challenges you wish to complete. Each challenge you complete and upload to the gallery will earn you points. These points will accumulate and will earn you RAKs and discounts. See the Point System thread for details.
You are not obliged to participate every week, and there is no competitive element here, we want to see everyone joining in as much as possible no matter what your scrapping level or schedule.
Each week one of the DT members will choose a layout they love from the previous week to highlight. this person will receive an additional bonus point. A layout maybe chosen based on the overall design, the journaling, the photo, or for whatever reason the DT member chooses. We all have different tastes so it could be anyone and for any reason.

Monthy blogging.
I have gotten so bad with my blog that it seems to have become a monthly thing. Oh well, better than never.
Lots of things to catch up on.
Baby
I'm 28 weeks now. Everythign is going fine. I do need to start setting up for him though.
Moving
We have moved to a new apartment. Still in the same neighbourhood, but with much mroe space now. It's really nice. We like it here.
Visitors
Michael's parents have just gone back home after being here almost a month. Kyan was obsessed with Grandma and no-one else existed, including me. We have just about gotten him back into routine now. Michael and I took the opportunity to go to Peurto Rico for a few days which was really nice. Michael's favourite part was going to the Bacardi distillery.
2Croppin Cousins
We are in week one of our monthly comp. It's going really well and the prizes are awesome. It's too late to join in, but we are having little mini comps each Friday night for the month, that anyone can join in and there are prizes for that too.
Here are my projects for the month.
I Am A Scrapaholic
The "Out From Behind the Camera" Series is continuing. This month is all about childhood, so if your Book of Me is neaxt to empty, come and check out the challenges.
Here's a layout from last week:

DT work, new challenge, some news and a birthday.
The most important thing is that it is Kyan's birthday. He is 3 today!!!! He's a little sick, so we are taking it easy today, then we will head to the park this afternoon for a picnic and some presents, then back home for some cake. I have made him a rocket cake from Little Eisnsteins. I love to make hm cakes, but I am not very good. I hope he will like it though. My hands are stained pink at the moment, from the frosting.
Second news. I have accepted a teaching position at My Creative Classroom. www.mycreativeclassroom.com This is a new site soley for online classes. The classes offered range lots of differnt crafts.I will have my own classroom and will be mainly focusing on beyond the page projects. I hope to start running classes in the next couple of months. I'm really looking forward to it. I hope that you will all come and try it out. International students are catered for of course.
Over at I am a Scrapaholic, I have instigated a new program with Lynn. It's called "Out from Behind the Camera". It is a book of me style program, with a few differences. It's not a competition, but you can earn yourself some nice Raks and discounts. Each week you are given a sketch for inspiration, and each month will focus on a different "chapter" or topic. Come and have a look...www.iamascrapaholic.com

You decorated your room with glow-in-the-dark stickers.
Singing "a ram sam sam, a ram sam sam, guli guli guli guli guli, ram sam sam, a rafi, a rafi, guli guli guli guli guli ram sam sam".
Seeing a small rack of DVDs in the video store and wondering if anyone ever rented them.
Dolly the sheep.
Getting up early to watch the Rage Top 50.
Friends when they were all actually just friends. Why didn't Phoebe and Joey get together?

Australia didn’t always win the cricket.
The Socceroos couldn’t qualify for the World Cup.
John Eales captained the Wallabies and we won the World Cup.

Tagged
I have been tagged by both Renee and Tanya. Thanks girls.
I've seen this one going around the place lately. Very sweet idea.
Here's the idea:
Ok, ladies- proudly display your Rockin' Girl Blogger Image on your blog and nominate 5 gals who you think are great bloggers! Be sure to let them know they have been nominated via email or a comment on their blog.
In turn, I tag:
Sara
Jess
Chara
Linda
Cass
Sorry if I have doubled anyone up.
It's been a week now and we have no ideas on boys names. We'd like something that is a little bit unusual like Kyan's names, but not something totally obscure and wierd that he has to explain for his whole life. Post a reply with some of your favouorite names to give us a bit of inspiration.
I posted a new page plan to 2 croppin cousins today:
Check it out at 2 croppin cousins If you use the plan and submit it, you can be in the running for a prize.
If you have joined my sketch site, you should have recieved an update in the last couple of days with a free blinkie. Can't wait to see these popping up across the net.

Baby news.
Well, I'm pretty sure everyone already knows that we are having a baby, so clearly that is not the news. We did however have an ultrasound today to do the general growth stuff and to try to find out the gender.
Both of us really wanted a girl, since we already have a boy, and I really felt like it was a girl. Must have been wishful thinking, as the little baby showed us very clearly that he is in fact a boy. Michael is pretty disapoointed, but I know he will get used to the idea. I'm OK with it. I would like it to have been a girl, but any baby is a good baby.
We got stacks of print outs from the ultrasound. I think she took pity on the fact that Michael had to miss out as he had to stay home with Kyan. I'll scan them in soon and upload a few more. Everything else looks good and healthy so that's good.
Meanwhile, Kyan continues to be very cute. Rather than recount the story again, check out Michael's blog (link on the sidebar) for a very funny story.
