My Princess!

Just thought I would post up a couple of recent pics of my little princess! The first is one I took while she was chilling out watching Play School one morning with her friend Elmo (or "Emmo" as she calls him).

The next pic was also taken last week...Brielle's first tattoos...LOL! She was so proud of them and kept pointing at them and saying "tattoo" to us. (I thought it was high time she had her own, as she is obsessed with mine!)

More Layouts!

I promised I would be back today with some more layouts, so here they are!

The first one is a LO I did last month for Kathie's kit challenge on Scraphappy Kat. We were supplied a kit and our challenge was to create a LO using some of every item in the kit. The kit was right up my alley as it was all my favourite scrapping colours. Here is the LO I did "2 Hearts" with Shannon and Brielle.

The next LO is one I completed recently for the November challenge on Scrap the Girls. This month the challenge is a colour challenge using red, blue, orange and white. This is not normally a colour combination I would use and I am really happy with the result. Here is my LO, "Dair"...

Here are a few other things I've created for this month's swaps on SBT50...

Finally Back!!!

Well I'm finally back online again after a monumental stuff up by Telstra...GRRRRR! I have been suffering total withdrawls being without internet access, although I never considered myself a real "addict"...LOL Anyway, it did give me a chance to scrap though and I managed to complete 4 LO's and 3 OTP projects. (The OTP are gifts though, so no sharing of those I'm afraid!)

The first LO I completed was the last challenge for the SBT50 CC, which finishes tonight (back online in the nick of time!) The "All Dressed Up" challenge involved selecting 5 pictures which each represented a different criteria to e used. As I was the one that set the criteria, one of our members chose for me and I got use cardstock only (no pp!), use a paper punch or mask (I masked the background using tape and sprayed with Spritz), use something silver (staples), use mixed alphas for title and use pearls. Phew - quite a challenge! This is the end result...

The next LO I completed was for my DT responsibility at Scrapability Sketches. This LO was done using Bec's November sketch # 2 and I used the Little Yellow Bicycle "Love Letters" range. Pics are of Shannon & I when I was quite pregnant...


Next up was Kathie's November Monthly Challenge for SBT50, which was a scraplift challenge, "Scrap the Kat". This challenge is open until the end of the month, so pop over and check it out, you might win a cool prize! Here is my take...


I think that will do for now, I'll post up some more tomorrow!

Mojo Rising!

Well my mojo seems to have been in full force this week, which has been perfect timing for getting stuck into the SBT50 "What's Ur Style?" Cyber Crop! All 7 crop challenges have now been posted and there is still 2 weeks until entries are due, so plenty of time for everyone to have a go at something. Having scrapped almost every day this week, I have got quite a bit of "Show N Tell"!

The next challenge I completed for the CC was the "Please Use Sparingly" one. This was a minimalist style challenge and we had to use a patterned paper background, one word title, strip journalling, and an embellishment cluster. As a bonus criteria, we had to include ribbon. I used a sheet of BG acid-washed paper for my base and decided I would concentrate on using only flowers for my cluster to compliment the sweet photo of Mandy and Brielle. Here is my LO, "Auntie"...

The next one I completed was the "Let's Glam It Up" challenge, which was all about the glam style. (Glam is described as being a fresh twist on the minimalist style.) The criteria for this was to use a black & white photo, bold colours, sparkle and shine, and a catchy title inspired by a rock n roll or fashion saying. The bonus criteria was to include a butterfly embellishment. I chose to call my LO "Hells Belles", which is a twist on the AC/DC song title "Hells Bells"...

My latest creation was for the "A Little Sketchy" challenge, and is a card, not a LO. For this one, we were provided a card sketch designed by our very own DT member Kathie, and we also had to use the style criteria from one of the previous challenges. As I had enjoyed doing the grunge LO so much, (and I had scraps left over), I decided to do my card in the grunge style for something a bit different. (And am really happy with how it came out!) Here it is...

Hopefully I will be back soon to share my final CC challenge LO's. In the meantime, don't forget to pop into Scrapbooking Top 50, as the Treasure Hunt Kicks off tomorrow! With over $500 in prizes up for grabs it is going to be MASSIVE!!! You can check out what's happening HERE!

"What's Ur Style?" Cyber Crop!

The Scrapbooking Top 50 "What's Ur Style?" Cyber Crop is now underway, and there are already lots of challenges posted to inspire everyone to get scrapping! It all kicked off on Thursday night with party night (including live chat, bingo and challenges). For the opening night challenges we each had to make a gift bag and a gift card holder. Here is my gift bag (which I love so much I wish I could use it as a handbag!)...


I have already scrapped a couple of the official challenges too. The first was for the "Not Too Shabby" challenge, which, as its name suggests, is a shabby chic style LO. This was the challenge that I prepared an example LO for (so I did it prior), and although it was my first ever attempt at this style, I am pretty happy with it. Here is my LO, "Precious"...

The next LO I completed was for the "Feeling Distressed?" challenge - which is a grunge LO. I really enjoyed getting down and dirty for this challenge and ended up making a big mess of both my desk and myself last night. The end result was this LO that I am really pleased with, "Ratbag"...

So be sure to stop by the forum and register HERE to join in the fun if you haven't already, the challenges aren't due until the 25th so you have heaps of time!!! (And there are daily prizes to be won too!) Hope to see you "on the boards" soon! XXX

My Nov DT Challenge!

It's November, so the new monthly challenges are up on SBT50, and this month there are 4! Besides one each from Vicki, Kathie and myself, there is also an extra challenge from Victoria, so PLENTY to keep you busy! (All due on the 30th November and with awesome prizes up for grabs.) My challenge to everyone this month is a colour challenge..."Pick a Palette". Members can choose any combination of colours from the example LO I have posted, and as an additional criteria, have to include a title, subtitle or line in their journalling that is taken from a nursery rhyme. (TOO EASY!)
Here is my example LO, "Sugar n Spice"...

Be sure to pop into the forum and check out the other monthly challenges HERE
