Wowzers :o} Update on events

Happy Friday Followers;)

Wow! Firstly, I really wanted to say a big thank you to all who have already placed their layouts in for the October Sketch Challenge, YOU ROCK LADIES!!!! Some wonderful work being produced for this month and I think Im really going to have trouble deciding on a winner:o}.

Well the last couple of weeks has been busy busy busy for me as I have started full time work at the school in a Teachers Aide position... LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!! The position is very rewarding and helping kids what more can I say! So sorry there hasnt been more updates, but more brain has been in overdrive with mental stimulation. hahahaha I know hasnt had it in a while!!

Anyhow apart from that, life seems to be going ok! Taking each day as it comes and well really that is all we can all really do hey! I recently completed a couple of challenges for different sites which I will share with you in a minute.

Ive had some awesome news from "Srapbooking Memories" on one of the publications that is going to be in an upcoming magazine, so that's always nice to hear about!!! Keep your eye's peeled for Vol 14 No. 4 my layout will be in the Family photo section. I have a few more coming up, but for now will wait to hear on confirmations etc etc.

Ok, so in saying all of that above (pays to post more lol lol) I recently completed a Black and White photographic challenge for Scrap Therapy. The gorgeous Tiff Firth set a task of taking a B&W photograph and scrapping it. My layout is of Curtis, a picture I took when he was confortable on the couch kicking back and I snapped away....

Layout called "Mysterious Eye's"

The other layout recently completed was for a challenge site called TCR (The Colour Room), they supply a colour palette each week and you can either use the sketch they provide or your can create your own design, but you must use the colours that are supplied. Below find the colour palette for viewing and my layout called "Sweet as Cherries"... To my surprise this afternoon I received some wonderful news from TCR stating that I was selected as one of this weeks featured artist for this layout (yayyyyyy) Thanks TCR it certainly made my week!!!!

Colour Palette # 80

My Interpretation "Sweet as Cherries"

Happy Saturday:):)

Happy Saturday

Hope your all enjoying your weekend! As they say "Early bird gets the worm" so I have already been up with the sparrows and out in the garden planting some veggies (yum), well lets just hope they take off anyhow and nothing eats them!!! I and the kids decided on Strawberries, tomato's, lettuce, capsicum and Beans... Will take some progressive shots to scrap.

After dinner last night there was really nothing I wanted to watch on the idot box, so I thought I would do a digi layout instead. I decided to use the gorgeous Sarah Belmont's - Bohemia digi kit from Sweet Blossom Designs.

The layout is called "Smile"

I have a few challenges to get completed this weekend, I do hope I get the time to get these completed, as the end of the month is fast approaching and I have a lot to get done with house, kids and life in general.

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend anyhow, take time to smell the flowers and enjoy yourselves. Thanks for dropping by;)

Good evening followers:)

Well another busy weekend, comes and goes so quickly! Ekk seriously someone is steeling my days. LOL

I was seriously in the mood on Friday to get a jam packed weekend full of scrapping done and well, I did just that!!! Friday night seen me drooling over the latest digi kit from TCR - The Colour Room artist Emma Stafrace and Lyndell Quin. Oh My, I just had to have!!! Its a gorgeous palette of colours and elements, which had my mind racing over and over about how to use it.

Palette # 75 from "The Colour Room" was out and I was keen to get started on that also. Please see below the beautiful colours selected which collate with the digi kit I was talking about above.

Kindred Souls - TCR Palette # 74

Happy Weekend Everyone:)

Well after a very busy week here at home with some visitors who stayed with us, leaving to go back to their homelands (Germany and U.K.)I had the super urge to get some scrapping done for TCR (The Colour Room) and the gorgeous colour palette they supplied # 74.

This weeks colours are just gorgeous and I must say another stunning example to help you get inspired. I used some of the paper flowers I have been creating lately on it.

My layout is called "Kindred Souls". My dear friend of 8 years Cindy came to visit me in late August this year!! It was the first time we had met in person, yes I know, if you could imagine how excited I was after speaking with Cindy via Phone and internet for all these years, she was finally going to be right here in the flesh!!! Are lives run parrallel and probably most people couldnt believe that so many things happen at the same time, but with Cindy and I THEY DO!!!!

We have shared many fun, sad and exciting moments in each other's lives and and Im glad to call her my friend/Sis. I hope you like my design in as much as I enjoyed creating it.

So here is my layout called "Kindred Souls".

Close Up

Thanks for dropping by, I appreciate your time and look forward to seeing your blogs soon.

Good Afternoon

Another month has come and gone so quickly, I seriously wondering if I shut my eye's at night and the world skips a week! lol

Since I didnt set any ATC Challenge for September, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in getting a head start on the October Challenge which is Quilling? I would really love 9 artists to complete this so it doesn't exceed a full sleeve for the ATC presentation sheet.

So if you think your up for the challenge, please leave a comment and I will update the list to complete the nine participants. Any person participating, will be required to address the completed ATC's to my address with a self addressed and stamped envelope so I can return them back to you!!!

The cut off for the ATC's will be the 20th of October back to me, so I can collate and return to participating artists:):):)

If you have any queries, please dont hesitate to contact me on my email address:
