Aint She Cute??

Well I think she is gorgeous!
Here's my scraplift of Emma's LO. I loved how she used the cardstock stickers around her photo..........one smart cookie that girl. Should make the SBM Masters I rekon. Love Hon!

Off to come up with a plan for the CC over at Artitistic Document next weekend. If you have never joined in with a CC over there check it out, they are such a hoot......we all have such a great laugh. The theme this month is 'as time goes by'.

Hey Peeps

I was asked to be the GD at ART this month and I decided to go with a technique challenge. I had so much fun last month............ having a go at making my own mists and generally making a ruddy mess! LOL!!!!

I also tried to use different items as stencils. For example chippie letters, shapes, masking tape and fantastic elastic bands. These stretchy little guys would have to be my favourite!

I have made a frame by stretching them this way at that over an old photo matt and sprayed with glimmmermists. Just looking for the right LO to put it onto!

Below is my example LO. The gorgeous little girl is our friends daughter Zoe. She's always smiling and seems to love the camera! I wanted the focus of the LO to be on the picture so I kept it very simple. The flower has been made out of stamped tissue papaer and more glimmermist and is rather dark in the pic than IRL

Almost forgot to share this LO of my MIL. A challenge set by Toni at ART. She is in her Deb/comming out dress......which is so much more beautiful than her really plain wedding dress!

Well of to put the finishing touches on another LO..................Em should recognise it, it's pretty much a lift of one of her LO's!! But I'm sure she wont mind.........will you???? Thanks Hon

Can't share!!!

I have done quite alot of playing around with different techniques this month and I tell you I have had so much fun!! It's all because I was asked to be the Guest DT for November over at Artistic Document But I cant share what I have been up to until after the first on the month.

But I do have a couple of LO for Mitchell's A-Z book to share. Obviously H and J still working on I.....waiting for the walnut ink to dry as I type!

Toodles for now...............

Just a quickie!!!!

Just a flying visit today......lots to do a never enough time. But here is a couple LO's I have done this week.
FIL resting place...........Stairway to Heaven is what the local fisherman call this beach because of the excellent fishing. So it seem right to use it as the title for the layout.


Julie, from Lets get Shabby is the guest DT over at Art this month and here is my take on her challenge.


That it! Told you it was quick!
TFSB!! LOL

Back again

Not to be out done but Miss Em, I thought I'd better post again today!! LOL

I'm hoping while I'm on holidays to get a LO a day done. Not sure how that will pan out today as Ash has a GF coming over which generally means I'll have to play with Mitchell. Not that I mind but obiviously less time to scrap. We also have cooking and going on a bike ride on the agenda so there goes even more precious scrap time. Do you think I have all my excuses ready??? LOL!!

Anyways here is my LO from last night...........Cute little Dannielle and Mitmoo as she calls him!

Hey there!

Been really busy over the last month - with life not scrapping!

But it has been such a blast.

Firstly I got two meet two more wonderful women from Art - Maria and Marie. They came over for the Creative Edge weekend from interstate and got together with the SA contingent! Saturday night we where supposed to scrap, but we chatted more than scrapped (no surprises there really!!) but we did share lots of scrapping ideas with each other.

Then my parents came down for the following weekend and Mum helped me cook up a storm for our trip to Elliston/Pt. Lincoln the next weekend.

Our week away was fantastic. The drive over was not as bad as I remembered and we had a great time relaxing and fishing. Not that many fish where caught - the wild storms the week prior really stirred everything up and the tides where not that good either. But we did catch enough for a good feed of tommies one night Yummo!

We also said our final farewell to Den (FIL) as he wanted his ashes to be scattered at Locks Well.

On the scrapping front not a lot has been done!

But I do have to LO's to share........

The first one I did for Kym's colour challenge purple. black and white. I made the lavender stem by punching out LOTS of small sun shapes then threading them onto the stems - took forever! But I think they look fabbo!

This next LO was made by using a mystery pack sent to me be Kym. The kit contained PP 8x8, 7x7, 6x6 a chippy, ribbon, and some embellishments.

The final thing I have done scrapping wise is making these flowers

Pretty, quick (okay Em I timed myself more like 5 mins!!!) and easy!!!

Thanks for stopping by.

How Long??

Too long!

Aaaahhhh well you get that I suppose.

Been on a bit of a scrappin blitz lately however.

Here, have a look.......

Pages D - G in Mitchell's A- Z book.....I'm now up to date with this YAY!!

This one had me stuck for awhile. The criteria? Shabby chic, flowers, a butterfly, ribbon and a touch of pink! Just what you need for a boys LO!!! LOL Happy with how it turned out.....and surprisingly so is he!!

The only full sized LO I have done for ages. Anyone with rough and tumble boys will so get this LO. I swear Mitch will send me broke.......or should I just get shares in a shoe company! LOL

Based on a sketch provided by Ann over at Art.

The CC at Art was based on reduce, reuse and recycle. The OPT project was to scrap something you would normally throw away. I, for some ungodly reason, chose to scrap this cotton reel. Really happy with the end result but blimy it was fiddly.

I have been involved in a lot of swaps of late.....here is one I really enjoyed. Matchbox swap. Haven't received the one Lara has made for me but here is the one for her.

If you are involved in the September Vintage Lady ATC swap at Art and dont wanna see what I have done......dont look any further!!

Going to try crocheting on a LO for Kym's colour challenge..... shades of purple black and white.

Well that's me all done and up to date......blog wise anyway! Going to tackle my BOM cover now. Playing with stencils, inks, stamps and will just make a right o' mess! Oh what fun.

Catch ya all later!
