Weekend update!

Hi all!

I hope everyone is enjoying this gorgeous weekend.

It sure is so noice to see the sun shining!

I have been super busy over the last couple of weeks so not a lot of scrapping has been done. We had a weekend in Sydney last weekend as my D.D had a specialist appt so we turned it into a mini holiday & took in all the sights & did all the tourist things...lol. We even went to the N.S.W Art Gallery. That is so not something I would have been interested in a couple of years ago. BUT hey I must be growing up...LOL...OR getting old more like it.

Enough of the rambling.

I will share my couple of pages that I have created. The first is a page that I created last night. I am so lucky! I purchased a Cricut machine from work at SCRAPSIDAISY & the lovely Leisa upgraded it to an Expression for me. So last week I got an early birthday pressie!! WoooHOOO.....I'm excited. Anyway with all the events of the last couple of weeks I really hadn't had the opportunity to have a decent play! Last night I pulled it out & set it up on its very own little table & away I went. I cut out all different arrows & alphas to create this-

I LOVE this pic of Brock....BUT the smile is not looking like that at the moment....Insert sad face!!! This arvo he accidently hit himself in the face with a tennis racket & broke off one of those gorgeous top teeth....another sad face......after many phone calls to Dr's & dentists it has now been decided that he doesn't NEED a dentist today & that it can wait until Monday morning & he will se a dentist to have it fixed.........:-( :-( :-( :-( :-(...lets just hope that it can be!!!!

This is a page that I did a couple of weeks ago. Using the yummy M.M Noteworthy range!

If you are still reading....THANKS...I hope you have a good one

ENJOY

Long weekend of rain........

You know you are old when.......

You are are "GREAT Aunty"....LOL. This is a pic of my gorgeous sister who became a Grandma yesterday for the first time. Can you see how proud she is? My nephew (Grandma's son) Chris & his partner, Carly, welcomed Liliana into the world yesterday afternoon. She is a little unwell but nothing too serious really & we are all busting to have cuddles. I am so happy for the family & excited for my Sister & brother in law. They will be the bestest grandparents.

Onto scrapping now- I have still had the mojo happening & have finished off a few pages over the weekend. Challenge 9 & 10 at SCRAPSIDAISY Forum & a couple of others. I will share with you now. I feel as if I am rambling on here....

This page of my D.D I created using 3 Bugs In A Rug (Luke & Lola) paper range, Die cuts, Bella blossom, Kaiser bling, Basic Grey stamps & my trusty black pen.

This page of "Me" I used the following goodies- Basic Grey "Sugared" papers & Element stickers, Maya Road chip letters, Dew Drop inks, Dimensional magic, Making Memories Edge distresser, Bella blossom & Cosmo Cricket rubon.

This is Challenge No.9 over at the Scrapsidaisy FORUM. Below is my attempt at the challenge.

I really enjoyed creting this page. I used heaps of Making Memories blossoms, buttons & felt. The other supplies were- Scenic Route "Grafton" p.p's, Deja Views wonderful words, Bella alphas, Hambly rubons & Black pen.

This is challenge NO.10- I got in a little earlier with this one. Below is my attempt as well.

I used Scenic Route p.p's (I know again!) Scenic Route stencil grid alphas, Basic Grey stamps & my fave of all time BLACK PEN....lol

If you are still reading THANK YOU! I am off to create another page & make a few cards to give to my new little "Great Niece"

Challenge catchup

Hi there,

I have created a few pages over the weekend that I thought that I would share-

The first is a challenge from the SCRAPSIDAISY Forum. It is challenge number 8-

(courtesy of http://www.pagemaps.com/)

This is my attempt at the challenge. I have used this years school photos of my D.D. It is so hard to believe that she is so big now. It seems like yesterday that she was starting school. Now she only has a year left & she will be in high school...........scary! I used the ever so YUMMY Dream Street papers. This range that I used is called Art Nouveau. Did I tell you it is YUMMO!!!!

The next page that I created was using the (JUST AS YUMMY) New Cupcake range from Basic Grey! It is this yrs school photo as well! I am amazed at how fast my D.S schooling is flying by as well!

A little brighter then my usual style BUT hey its great to be a little different sometimes.

Something else I have been working on this weekend is a Daisy Decor Mini hanging Album. I have been creating a calendar to display on the counter at work. It's not quite finished yet! but I thought that I would share it anyway!

That's about it for now.

Thanks to those that still visit!

Have a great week!

ENJOY

Hi there

I hope that all the Mums that read this had a fantadillyastic Mothers day!!!!! I certainly did! My hubby helped the kids out with brekkie and served it to me in bed. Then it was pressie time!!! BOY OH BOY did I get spoilt!!!!!! I hope that all you Mums did too. It is always a really hard day for me since I lost my own Mum 13 yrs ago. SO my Hubby & Kids tried so, so hard to make my day SUPER special & they sure did do that. PLUS a very special friend also bought me a lovely gift to make my day special rather then sad & she succeeded too....Thank you!!!!!!

I have been busy creating as well. I am loving all the new Basic Grey ranges atm. My fave would have to be the Archaic range. It is yummo...lol
I will share a few pages that I have created lately-

Brocks smile says it all. He was so proud!

Maddy's smile is just as big!!!!

A.W.A.L

I know, I know-I have to be the slackest blogger in history!

Have had a really busy couple of weeks. The kids have had their school holidays & are back at school. I have been super busy with family stuff & have created a few projects along the way.

I was a very lucky girl last week. My hubby & I went to test drive a car that we had our eye on & drove it away that very day. SO MUCH FOR JUST TEST DRIVING IT!!!!!!!!!I took some pics of it today so I will share one later.

I had another fun filled day yesterday at SRAPSIDAISY. We celebrated National Scrapbooking Day with a day filled with lovely ladies full of inspiration & some yummy cakes & slices were thrown in there too.

We Had a lovely Sunday drive today. We had to take the new car for a "Good" drive so we headed to a local beach for a picnic. Well it was so darn cold we almost ate it in the car. But we had a lovely day out with family so that is all that matters. Plus I had the chance to take a few new pic's to get me inspired.

I will share a few pages that I have created over the last few weeks.

The first is a challenge that I have been running over at the Scrapsidaisy Forum courtesy of www.pagemaps.com.

This is challenge Number 5-

I used Making Memories Animal crackers to create the challenge page, Basic Grey buttons & October Afternoon stamps.

Cosmo Cricket Honey Pie papers, Bazzill Wings Blossoms & Autumn Leaves stamps.

K & Co Berry Sweet papers, Basic Grey stamps & basic Grey buttons.

Lastly I have to send out A HUUUUGE thank you to Carol (aka Crazy for crafting). Carol sent me (via a local friend) a lovely, lovely RAK all the way from the U.S! She is so generous that it is amazing. I am honoured to say that she is a blogging friend! So again Carol Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! 7 you had better keep an eye on your mail box.......he he he

I hope everyone has a safe and fun filled week!

ENJOY

Lazy DAYS!!!!

As the title says "Lazy Days" that's what I have had this weekend! It is the start of the school holidays this weekend & I love the fact that there is NO routine for the most of it. How scary is that! How fast has that first term of school gone! So much has happened in that term too & it has just whizzed by.
My kiddies both had a bestie stay over for the night last night! It was amazing. They were all so very well behaved. I took them all to the videoshop (Do I still call it that?) last night to pick out a few movies & then they entertained themselves for the evening. SO MUM SCRAPPED!!!!!!! I finished off a page that I scrap lifted from Two Peas BUT now that I am about to post it I went back to the site so that I can put a link to the original page & I can't find it! That will teach me.....as I don't ever scrap lift. BUT I had tiny little pieces of scraps left over from my beloved October Afternoon papers & I just HAD to use them SO this page is it-----

MY next page is a FAVE photo of my D.S. (I am sure that I have scrapped it before) BUT I thought that it worked perfectly with the BRAND SPANKIN NEW "Static" range from 'Crate'!

I love the range & can't wait to attack the rest of the papers that I picked up from SCRAPSIDAISY yesterday.

Lastly, I finally got around to doing my Challenge from the SCRAPSIDAISY Forum. This time when I chose the Map (with a little help from Kristy) I didn't do my page right away so here it is-

First challenge No4-

courtesy of Pagemaps-

and then my take on the map-

I used the "Scenic Route" 'Salem' paper range for this one & added a few Making Memories blossoms.

Well that's enough raving from me.

Be sure to enjoy your week.

Thanks for stopping by.

ENJOY

The MOJO was happening!

The MOJO was happening! yipppeeeee!!!!! After spending the day at SCRAPSIDAISY on Saturday, for the GRAND opening in the BIG new store I came home ready to SCRAP!!!!. What a fantastic day we all had too!!!!!!!!! What a lovely bunch of ladies we had come along!
Here are the pages that I have done over the weekend!


As you can see! I am a tad addicted to October Afternoon papers atm. I even used up all my scraps. The sad part of that is that I don't have any left now!!!!! Is anyone else out there as obsessive with lubly papers as me?

This boy page of my D.S. (bit addicted to boy pages atm too!) is using the NEW Making Memories Animal Crackers range, They, too, are just divine! Kristy inspired me on Saturday with the title on this one!

I had a request for some Male themed cards at the Card making day SO these are what we did! They were made using (another FAVE) Cosmo Cricket p.p's.

Another class from the day were these MOTHER themed cards! The NEW Cuttlebug embossing folder (Floral Fantasy) was the main focal point on these two! Mothers Day is not really that far away!

That is all for now!

I will try & get back soon

Have a great week!

ENJOY
