.... and its hard to keep up with everything that life entails lately in the Devlin Household. Both girls have started Calisthenics at Brighton Calisthenics Club, and both are giddy with excitement and so far adore participating. Its funny in retrospect, how life turns 360 degrees. To see both girls dancing where I started gives me a feeling of completion and a sense of pride in the girls. I was so proud watching Emma dance last week, I really feel both of them have a gift for dance.
We had a quick photoshoot out the front of our house last week, some shots taken in front of our door, some around the side of our townhouse. I am finding it increasingly hard to get good shots of Em, as she is really aware of her crooked teeth, and I seem to end up with this sweet closed smile, instead of her vibrant sunny smile that I am so used to.
So first Miss Madison, getting a knack for looking straight down the lens of the camera. Her hair tousled as usual, both my girls got my hair, fine and flyaway, so this is about as groomed as its going to get !!
My Emmy, looking beautiful and very "9", I can't believe she hits that number in April. Everyday I see her change and mature, and I adore the young lady that she is growing into.
This was the first attempt of many "natural" shots ... as you can see, easily distracted when have photos taken together !!!
And finally, a very rare photo of both of them, that actually worked.
You might have noticed that I have started to put a copyright watermark on my photos. I have just had a few enquiries through FB, as to who took my photos, lol, so I thought it best just to slap my name on them !!!
So onto all things scrappy and some shares from blog posts that I have had up recently.
"Serenity" from the Songbird Collection from Prima, created for CHAW2012.
This project was shown ages ago at the Prima Blog, but I haven't shared it yet, the PPP for January using a gorgeous neutral palette of blacks, cool grays and browns.
Lastly, my first contribution to the Pink Paislee Blog, using the Vintage Vouge and Sweetness Lines.
Well, off to do some more creating, I hope you have a wonderful week.
Thanks again for visiting me.

Beautiful! Do you know where I could find a tutorial on how to make the folded paper circles (flowers?) in the first layout? I am making a spring banner and those would be wonderful on it! Thanks!
