A few more pics

Just a couple of extra pics of Kyan at the end of his first day at school.

Baby Kyan goes to school.

Kyan started prep this morning. He was pretty excited, and loves that they have a big lego box. Here's a couple of pics of him in his brand new uniform.

Slack I know

You know you have been neglecting your blog when spammers take up residence in your comment box. Anyway...

Here is a bunch of work from the Q2 Kaisercraft collections. Q3 is in stores. Will have some work to share soon.

If you haven't checked out my etsy store yet, have a look: www.aliciabarrydesigns.etsy.com I have felt and fabric flowers for scrapbooking and cardmaking, and hair accessories for anyone with little girls. I have more stuff coming soon too.

I have been asked by Kylie Hopkins to be a guest teacher back at www.mycreativeclassroom.com The details of her design class can be found here: http://www.mycreativeclassroom.com/course/info.php?id=280

In home life, Amelie is now 6 months old. She has her first tooth and is more or less crawling. Cameron is having some trouble with his speech development but is coming out with new words all the time. Kyan is starting prep next week. He is very excited about it. It will be fun to see how he goes. I'm sure he thinks it will be just like daycare.

Clever Kyan and cute Cameron

Kyan was very lucky enough to get a new bike for this birthday from his grandparents. Michael took the training wheels off after only a few days since he has been using his balance bike for so long to get ready, and so on the second day, Kyan is able to ride a "big boy" bike all by himself. He is very proud of himself.

And not to be outdone by his brother, here is Cameron doing what he does best... just being cute.

Photography and photoshopping

I've been neglecting my macro lens lately, so took a few shots yesterday and have been playing with them a bit in photoshop. Feedback welcome.

Kaisercraft News

There is so much going on at the KC blog at the moment, be sure to take a look. They are on the lookout for a professional scrapper to do some work out of the office in Geelong, so if you live nearby, it would be a great opportunity. I only wished I lived a bit closer.

There is also a competition on at the moment. You could win some of the great new stuff:http://www.kaisercraft.net/blog/scrap-your-summer-competition/


Every Saturday, a new sketch goes up on the blog, a piece every Sunday showcasing a scrap space, and a new card making competition.

Also, KC now have digi kits. Apple Tree is really pretty.

Here is a layout I created using the new PennyRoyale Layout from Kaiser.

New Baby Pics

I had a play with some more baby photos this morning. They are not turning out the way I wanted, but a few of them are cute anyway. I have also experimented a little with editing. I have so much more to learn.

Amelie Laura

Here she is finally. Amelie Laura was born on July 3rd, weighing 6 lb 12 oz. The c-section went smoothly. My recovery has taken a little longer this time around, hence the delay in posting, I haven't been able to spend much time on the computer.

The boys have both taken to her really well. We were pretty sure Kyan would, but had no idea how Cameron would react. He is quite fascinated by her, and spends a lot of time just looking at her. He is very sweet by giving her a dummy when she is crying.

Sleep is fairly intermittent still. She sleeps quite well during the day, but has a little trouble settling sometimes after night feeds.

Will post more pictures soon.
