Please submit your entries onto the new ning site for Scrap.n.Art in the album provided (February Sketch Challenge) or to my email address scrap.n.art@hotmail.com by the 27th of February 2010, this will allow ample time for the judging to take place in the slide show area and the winner will be announced on the 28th of February 2010.

What a fabulous weekend:)

Good Afternoon

Well I hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend:) I finally got the chance to scrap this weekend for the first time this year (YAHOO) and I also got to spend some time with some lovely ladies too:):) Thanks Emma, Lisa, Corrine and Leanne for a fabulous couple of days chatting, scrapping and feeling good about life;) Love ya's and your making my transition to the Gold Coast a remarkable one, feels like I've lived here for years and years!

I finally got to complete a layout of Dakota and a photo that I have had since August last year. The layout is titled Drama Queen! A perfect capture of Dakota doing her little drama moment. The papers I used were from a Bella pack I purchased from a variety store. Emma and Lisa gave me some great inspiration in regards to the colouring of my chipboard mask's the vibrancy just pops right out with those so thanks lovies:)



Anyhow, just wanted to share this creation with you all and I'm so looking forward to getting some more started now, time out has given me a rest and I'm ready to get messy with my products again.

Thanks for listening and visiting.

Its been a while

Good Morning

Well firstly I want to apologise for being away and not posting on my blog, but with the recent events of moving house to Queensland and trying to re-organise my life and get children settled I just haven't had the time to scratch myself.

Apart from adjusting to a new lifestyle, the heat has been getting us down a little. Yesterday it was 39deg here and we felt every inch of it (ekkkkk), never mind, part of climates I guess!

Things are getting easier day by day and that is all I can ask for hey! Looking forward to getting messy with some paper and glue, feels like forever since I last scrapped. Sorry to the beautiful ladies who had gone to Lisa's house on Saturday wished I could have attended, but at the moment, life's little priorities take hold over my scrapping and socialising:(:(. Looking forward in the near future to seeing you all and catching up.

Thanks to the ladies who have already entered into the SNA January Sketch Challenge, they look fabulous!!!!! They is still time to enter if your interested, you have until the 30th of January 2010 to get your entry in to be in the running for the monthly prize pack.

I have some great new challenges coming up for this year and will be launching those in the next month or so, so keep your eye's peeled on the blog and SNA site. My members are increasing every week and I'm so glad that I can have you all on board and participating in the challenges and events on Scrap.n.Art.

Anyhow until I post again and I hope this year is treating you all safe and well and I look forward to getting back into the swing of things.

P.S. Thank you to everyone for being so understanding and also for the moral support, the Goddess Spirit is alive and kicking;););)

Mwah and Hugs Angie xoxoxox
