White With 1 - January

It's challenge time here in the Bear Household. Ordinarily that would mean I'm scrapping, but this past week has been filled with medical appointments and, in my down time, putting kits together to sell on the Aussie Scrappers Garage Sale FaceBook page (see HERE). I've desperately been wanting to scrap all week, however the number of medical appointments was honestly insane, and the kits thing is new for me, so it may take me a little while for me to find some balance. "Everything in moderation" a very wise man once told me.

So anyways a while ago I was browsing through one of my niece's photos on FB and was OMG, I was so inspired to scrap so many of her photos. I asked her if I could and she gave me free rein ... yeah for Mia!!!!!! I had a heap of them printed yesterday morning (thanks GB) and for a little (?) while my blog may look as though I'm Mia's number one fan so (LOL) please be understanding! Here's my first instalment of the "Mia Series" ...

I drew inspiration for this LO from White With 1's mega awesome January challenge ... White + Lime + Buttons!!!!! When I first read their challenge criteria this month I thought "OMG I love lime" but when it came time to actually scrap my LO I was surprised, and somewhat perturbed, to find so few lime coloured products in my stash. What's with that LOL?!?!? So there's a lot of 'impro' on this LO. If you're thinking of giving the White With 1 challenge a go this month you can find all the details HERE.

Okay well I'm off. I have at least (bare minimum LOL) another 17 LOs of Mia to do ... ha ha! I hope you're having a great weekend, as am I.   :)
