Decided to have a midnight Scrap

Hi There!

I have had a wonderful evening! It started with me having a play around & making a few changes on my blog & before I knew it it was almost midnight! I hadn't even scrapped.....Oh NO!

So close to midnight I decide that I would have a play in the 8.5 x 11 size. I threw these two pages, of my D.S, together. I am pretty happy with the way they have turned out! remember they were really quick (thanks to the cuttlebug!) & all up took an hour to create!

A new INSPIRATIONAL card blog

I just thought I would share with you all a wonderful blog that Leisa has just set up. It is called COPYCATCARDS where people can pop by and enjoy looking at lots of cards made by very talented cardmakers and scrappers...and that's where YOU come in. Why not take advantage of having a new challenge to inspire you to use up some old product and end up with a very handy stash of cards to give to friends and family? What a great way to get inspiration & maybe even sometimes a little motivation to get us creating. ( I sure am in need of some at the moment!)
So make sure you check it out!
If you are in the blogging mood don't forget to check out SCRAPSIDAISY online. Leisa has been busy adding new stock every day. It is starting to fill up & some of the most popular items sell out really fast!

A wonderful WEEKEND & (Mon)day creating

A quick share tonight to share something that I created today. I owed my nephew an engagement present from a few months back so I took the time out today to create something for the lovebirds to cherish. I used the new wooden "LOVE" that Scrapsidasiy has instore. I used pieces of my scraps, from a page I created over the weekend, with the beautiful PAPER LOFT p.p. I hope they enjoy my gift!

Sunday was Fathers Day BUT... my Hubby had a double whammy with it being his birthday as well! He was a little bit spoilt with lots & lots of pressies (but sure did deserve it) I made him this really quick card on Sat. evening but the best present of all was one that D.S. made for him at school.

It's the little things in life that are so precious!

All better now....

Thank you for all the well wishes regarding my poor little man. He is all better now thanks. Things got a bit scary there for a while. But after 5 Dr's visits & a hospital visit he is all better. Man of the house has a version of it now!!! Blah

Haven't had a lot of time to scrap over the last week BUT I did manage to do a few projects this weekend. Scrapsidaisy has all the supplies that you need to create these two B.T.P projects that I have just finished.

This first is a ribbon/scrapping organiser. I really enjoyed creating this one although I found it a bit challenging as I wanted to add photo's but I didn't think that photo's were appropriate.

This final project is a beautiful ribbon caddy/organiser. I plan to use it for my fave ribbons

I hope you are all well & have a great week

**My POOR Sick little man**

What a week we have had. My poor little man has had such a shocker! It started as a viral infection.....argh! so there was nothing that could be done for him. He started to show signs of improvement BUT....has gone back down in a big crashing heap! It turns out now that he has an infection in both ears! so after an evening at Accident & emergency tonight he is on antibiotics & is hopefully at the end of it all. I am hoping that this is the end of it all for the poor little man!

I actually started this post over an hour ago! I have just spent the last hour changing sheets/blankets on the poor little mans bed. He hasn't been vomiting since Sat/ Sun BUT now that has even started back up again. OMG!!! I want my healthy little man back!

For my local ladies-I am missing you all! I can't wait to get back to work. I am just lucky that I have the most understanding boss!! I promise as soon as my little man is better we will all have a catch up!

I hope you are all having a better week than I!

OOOPS......NO Soccer!

I think I jinxed myself last night when I posted and said that I was spending my weekend at soccer. My D.S was meant to play his usual game this a.m. & has a special gala day tomorrow.BUT....he has fallen ill & can not play at all. He has some virus & has had me really worried. High temps, vomiting, headaches & really, really sore neck. I had the worst night in history with the poor little mite. Took him off to the Dr this morning & he has a virus (that I won't attempt to write as it sounds just like a really bad swear word) so it just has to takes its course. He seems to be on the mend this evening so heres hoping tonight will be a better one than last night. The poor little baby has had a run of bad luck of late. He fell over at school yesterday & it was touch & go as to wether he needed stitches in his knee.....OMG!!!I am hoping this is the end of the bad luck as he has certainly had his fair share!!!!

While I am here I will show a few pages that I created last night & tonight. I was on a roll last night & it is continuing tonight. We had a wonderful FAMILY day at Forster last weekend & I took the opportunity to get in a photo shoot. The photo's I took of my D.D & D.S. I have used on these few pages.

FIVE things I love about you Brock!!!

This page (above) IRL has lots of bling! it just doesn't show up in the photo.

I used my new cuttlebug alpha on this one. lovin it!

ENJOY

Addicted Again!

Hi There,

Just a few pages to share tonight. I am really enjoying the new paper & embellishment range that arrived instore this week. The brand is Gin-X & is really inspiring paper.

This first layout is of my handsome nephew- Chris. He has just recently moved back to Taree from Brisbane -So it is good to see a lot more of him!

The next layout is of my 2 big BOYS. I LOVE these guys so much! The P.P's that I used are to die for!

This final page is a page that my 9 y.o. D.D created at our kiddy classes this week. For the locals that don't know- we have children's classes every school day afternoon & this is a glimpse of what you can expect your child to create.

I hope everyone has an enjoyable weekend! mine will be filled with soccer, soccer & more soccer! LOL!

ENJOY

My weekends creations

I started my weekend with another take on the clock that the lovely Mishell Lancett taught & created for us at SCRAPSIDAISY

Then once the creativity started to flow I did A few pages! The first is (yet another) Love Elsie page. The photo is of the lovelies Leisa & Mishell & myself. It was taken at the recent Newcastle fundraiser crop.

Then I was busting to use the new Autumn Leaves rubons & P.P so I dug out an old photo of my D.D & created this-

The last thing I created was this quite simple page of my Darling SISTER & B.I.Law. I know she lurks my blog so maybe this will put a smile on her face. The p.p I used is from the lovely Urban Lily range & I am making use of my cuttlebug for the titles!!!

ENJOY

Some pages

Just a few pages to share. The first is an old photo of my D.H & D.S back in '04 when we were holidaying in Sydney. I just love the photo!

The next is a double layout (a first for me for a long while) of my D.D & her best buddie. The photo's are so cute I had to use them all together.

Not A LOT to share

Hi All,

Not a lot to share at the moment. I, like half of the country, have the FLU!! So I am feeling a little yucky & not at all creative.

Just thought I would share a few more 8.5 x 11 pages that I have done.

OH I almost forgot! a local friend & very talented scrapper has just set up a blog. You can check it out here http://tracey-3boys1girl.blogspot.com/ or check out Tracey K. in my sidebar. Tracey always inspires me to get stuck into the 8.5 x 11 pages. Thank you Tracey & well done on starting a blog.

I have had a blast of a weekend! I have done three things (all of which are very important to me!) Firstly I worked yesterday & had an amazing Saturday in wingham at the lovely little shop SCRAPSIDAISY . secondly I spent the afternoon/evening with my family at a local family fireworks night & then thirdly I SCRAPPED well into the night! I have just been so inspired lately with the Love Elsie papers & embellishments. I managed 5 pages in all. The first 3 are in the 8.5 x 11 size & the others in the usual 12 x 12. I hope you like them! Because I really enjoyed doing them.

I hope everyone has a safe funfilled week!

MY BABY TURNS "8"

WOW what a week! My kiddies returned to school last Tuesday (all excited to be back!) all was going well, as expected, & then I get the phone call that every parent dreads! Brock has had a fall in the playground & has hurt himself! So hubby rushes to the school to discover my brave little boy unable to move his arm. So it is off to the hospital for xrays & such & the conclusion was that he has a fractured collarbone! So today as he celebrates his birthday he is on the mend. He insisted that he return to school today as it much more fun sharing the day with his buddies. So I made him a cake & took it on for his class to share. He has been really spoilt with lots & lots of pressies tonight & a second cake to share with the family-how lucky was he!. But boy does he deserve them. I am so proud of my brave little man!

I hope you all have a lovely week.

I have some new pages/projects to share so I will post them soon.

NEWCASTLE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY CROP

WOW, WOW, WOW what a wonderful DAY! Leisa & I headed off bright & early this morning for the crop that was held in Newcastle as a Fundraiser for M.D.

Once we arrived, for the first hour or so, I just sat & was in awe of everything that was going on around me. Then it was time to get into it! I managed to create two pages of my own & then I attended a class by the ever so popular Jen Hall. (My take of it is posted above.)

The pages below are the two that I managed to create all by myself. I am stoked as I actually finished them & quite like them as well!

I aslo managed to create this card using my cuttlebug embossing & die cuts.

We met some lovely, lovely ladies! & caught up with the adorable Mishell!

& then to top it all off I won this great set of stamps!

I hope everyone else had a wonderful Saturday ( I sure know I did!)

A FEW SIMPLE PAGES!

Just a few pages to share tonight. I created this layout with a photo that is a few years old now. Not something I do that often ( As I seem to take more photo's then I can keep up with) & looking at it I can not believe how much my babies have grown!

The next is a page of my little man in the 2007 Taree & District Eisteddford. The day was so long for the poor little darlings & then to top it off(after waiting all day to sing last) the music didn't work in their C.D player, so they sang beautifully without music!
I am loving these Love Elsie papers!

And the third & final page is a page I created using the Urban Lily range.
All these pages are simple (I know) BUT I felt for a while that I had lost my MOJO so I am creating with a simple style to encourage my creativity to re-appear! heres hoping!!!
ENJOY
Jules
