A little friend

I just felt like scrapping the other day (lol)... so I did this ...
Have had that pic of Bethany and her gorgeous little friend Nikara for a while and never quite knew what to do with it until I got the scalloped paper and also the felt shapes. Love them! Seems a bit of a mix of colours, but I think they work quite well. It has a kind of 'fresh, springy' feel. :-) {thanks to Nikara's lovely Mummy for letting me post the pic :-) }

The cybercrop over at Scraps Of Us is on this weekend so have been doing some projects for that. My challenge goes up this afternoon and I can't wait to see what everyone does with it! Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend.

Guess What?!?!

I made the team!! Yes, I am now a Design Team member (on the card team) for Scraps Of Us which is hugely exciting for me :-). Am looking forward to learning how to be a DT member (lol) and having fun along the way. Thanks heaps for everyone's encouragement!!

Now, they have thrown us all in the deep end (but in a good way!) straight away as we have to come up with challenges and games for this:
It should be heaps of fun ... my first Cybercrop as a member of a Design Team! It's rather different designing challenges and not doing someone elses! But, I am looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with.

Well, I had better keep going, I'm hoping to get lots of washing done today :-)!!

Round 3

OK, here is my entries for the third and final round of the DT comp. This was a VERY interesting challenge ... we had to make a LO for $5 and a card for $3! It was tricky trying to work out how much each thing cost! Here is my LO: A gorgeous pic of Dallas - one of my favourites from Linley's photoshoot. The title is "Almost 2 weeks old" (just in case you can't read it - lol!)
Here's the card. For some funny reason, I liked matching the cards to the LO's!!

And that's it, now we just wait for the announcement to be made! It was certainly an interesting comp and I scrapped a pic of myself for the first time!

I have managed a page today. Will share maybe tomorrow :-)

Round 2

Here is my entries for round two of the DT comp. The criteria was to scrap a LO of an achievement in our life and use a particular technique. The card had to congratulate someone on an achievement and use a technique also. We then had to write a step-by-step instuctions for the technique we chose to do. I debated a while about the technique and tossed up on a few! Finally decided to make a strip flower. I made these out of book paper to suit the theme of my page .... which was a pic of me "Finally" graduating from uni!! How young do I look!!! lol...
And here's the card ... I made a strip flower for this as well.

Will share Round 3 here tomorrow - got to draw out the process ...lol!!!

Went and got Dallas weighed today - he's 6.2kg! The nurse was like, "Wow, how old is this baby?? Did you say 10weeks??" lol! I am not surprised, I'm the one who carries him around all day (OK, slight exaggeration there ...lol) and know how sore my arms/shoulders/neck get!!!

Well, I'm off to see if I can squeeze in some scrapping before the kids wake up from their sleeps. Thanks to everyone who pops by and especially for the lovely comments. Hope everyone is having a lovely day :-)

Quick post

Just a quick post from me today. ----->

Just wanted to share this LO I did for a Design team comp! It was for the first round and we had to scrap a LO of ourselves .... but use no photos!! What a challenge!! So, the journalling I did here in the little boxes is about me. You probably can't read it tho...LOL!!!

Be back with some more maybe tomorrow :-)

I've been scrappin'!!

What a surprise! lol. I've done 3 LO's and a couple of cards over the weekend. Here are some to share. First up was a card that I did a while ago, but don't think I've posted yet. It was for a comp at Scraps of Us:

Then, a layout from this weekend's cybercrop over at Savvy. The theme was PINK due to October being Breast Cancer awareness month. My fave colour!!! lol So, here is my LO for Kayla's challenge. The criteria was: pink with one other colour, sparkle, and a "She" quote. I've used "She just has this way of brightening the day".

This LO of Dallas is for the scraplift challenge over at Savvy. This is another of Linley's gorgeous photos - I never tire of scrapping them :-). Can see us having to have regular photo shoots!!! lol

Well, it's rather overcast here ATM ... wonder if we'll get any rain...

Hope everyone has a wonderful week. :-)

Kid's card

I am not getting a whole lot of scrapping done lately, for one reason or another. There just always seems to be other things to do at the moment! Also, am still working on Dallas' thank yous for the people who have been lovely enough to send good wishes and gifts to welcome him.

Anyway, here is a card I made for yesterday's comp at SOU. It was to make a colourful kid's party invite:
Pretty simple, but there you go. Not sure if I would want to cut out all those balloons for 10 or so invites for a real party tho!!! lol...

Well, just a short post for me today, the day is running away from me and whilst it is rather nice to sit for a while here in the air-con, I better go and get the clothes off the line! I'm sure they will be more than dry considering how long they have been out there ...lol!!!

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend and happy scrapping to the scrappers :-)
