wipeout round 2

For this round we had to create a 12 x12 heritage style LO with brown and creams with a sepia photo, I already had this photo printed up. It is one of my great grandfather on my mums side of the family. Its Frederick George Bowman.....I still need to add a bit of Journalling in the tag....

A quick LO I done

When its hot the best thing to do is to have a catnap, this is puss out the front verandah napping.I used cosmo cricket pp and coredination cs and gel pen, thickers, buttons and ric rac.

3 More

Monthly Sketch challenge for uproar2scrapmore. I have used basic grey Mellow collection pp and embellies also BG alpha's (choc range)

Wipeout challenge game 4 round 1.

See how many rounds I can do in this game. This round we had to use some green, include brads and a stamped journal block.

I have used bazzil cs, cosmo cricket pp, GT and prima flowers, brads and scrappy cat journal stamp. I really love this photo I snapped of Jess.

Monthly Challenge at uproar, (month is almost finished so been catching up) Jess took this photo of michael which I also loved and how the sun is captured on his face.

I used stamps for the corners, bella chipboard circle coloured in yellow, and circles are cut from FP, DCWV and coredinations cs.

Thanks to all the lovely ladies that leave me comments and

mini album

Lisa's challenge for the cybercrop was to make a mini album, so this is what I created using photo's from Sam's and Ashley's swimming lessons. This would have to be a first it was actually hot weather during the lessons as guarenteed as soon as they start so does the rainy, cold weather. Sam observed most the time when they had to go in the pool or he waited till most of the kids got out, but he really enjoyed splashing everyone......

For the album I used a strip of bazzil and a sheet of sasslass pp and the seahorses were cricut diecuts. Thanks Kata for the last class on making these albums it came in real handy as Pauly also made one as well.....

cybercrop weekend

Kylies Blind Challenge ( given a list of papers and sizes, then instructions as to where to put the papers) they are fun to do, I used kaiser pp the lovestruck pp and a little bit of waterberry.
I cut the seahorses with the cricut and have vinyl thickers and painted and stamped bubblewrap...

2nd Layering LO

The 2nd attempt at the layering challenge this time got the photo right....

I used Basic Grey again this time stella ruby pp's.

Struggled with a title so asked DH (husband) he came up with "the girl", I thought about it for a while and ended up running with the idea. Jess was no help either.

The title was stamped again on bazzil, then my new rain daubers came today so put that on it, then glitzed them....

Layering LO

This is my first attempt at this challenge........uploaded it in the gallery so thought I would check out the other Layouts that were in and noticed all photo's were B&W ......... oops, so I did another one last night and shall upload shortly when I crop the photo a bit.

Challenge #2 for you all this Jan is to-:Create a Layout using Multi- Layering!!!!This is by using a number of papers on your LO- great way to use up your scraps too!- It is not a Collage! You can use any PP or C/S you like & you must Bling it up & your title must be unusual!!!- different to what you would normally do! You can use any size pic but it must be B & W LadiesAny Embellies you like can also be used! I used Basic Grey pp, bling, green tara flowers and the title is stamped using kaiser and pink paislee letters.

White with 1

My entry into this month's white with 1 blog.......the colours this month were white with turquoise and flourishes.

This is my lovely little Nan (kids name for her) she passed away in 2002. I used kaiser, daisy d pp to mat the photo and a fancy pants transperency and I stamped the flowers and cut out the flourish with the sizzix ans kaiser pp..... also added buttons and glitz the border is stamped....

Challenge:sanding, min 1 stamp,blue somewhere,1 frame, and chipboard

I think I will be wipeout first round as there are gorgeous LO's to vote for.

2009 Firsts

My storage area had a bit of a clean up as jess got a new desk and threw out the bookcase so I bought some baskets and filled with chipboard alpha's and ribbon in the second one, third has sizzix stuff in it.. also my other scanner died so it got tossed out, now have to buy another as the cannon is only a printer.... My chrissy pressie was another set of drawers great value picked them up for $40 (I get to pick my own pressie's) so got some things to put in the drawers as well.. DH has been telling the kids I am slowly taking over the kitchen.... I'm only using it until there is a free room to move into....
The mess the table is usually in


actually got cleaned up not once but twice this week.... thought I better
take a photo as its not often I clear it off to eat, usually just gets a bit of a tidy then pushed up to the end so eat up one end of the table...

My first LO for 2009 is a fairly simple one I was taking photo's with mum's camera on boxing day of Sam he was climbing on my dad's Dingo trailer so in one of the photo's he has climbed up the ramp. The title took me the longest to think of as I was searching for a quote about reaching high couldn't find a thing......... so ended up as is...... I put his name on it after the photo was taken of the LO. (just used carolee creation mini alpha's.)

Last page for2008

My final page for 2008 was a scraplift challenge at Uproar2scrapmore, they have a monthly scraplift, the original was of chris's LO. I used Basic Grey pp, coredination cs and used the slice for the title and flourishes (my chrissy pressie, the design card). Also used kaiser rubons and some flowers. We had an early christmas gathering this is my 3 sisters (i was in photo) but edited me out... we met half way where we live which is Albury to have lunch and exchange pressie's, well I left the boys at home and went with karen and mum so we had a kid free day (rare event) for me... also finished chrissy shopping as well. This was the Sunday before xmas....
