Motor Mouth!!

Well that's the title to my lastest LO! I dont have a motor mouth!?

At Butterfly Crafts the first challenge for the month was to do a LO based on your favourite book. I only start reading after a really long break about two years ago and Janet Evanovich is a firm fav with me. Her books are easy to read and appeal to my sence of humor.

So here it is.................

Survivor Challenge 5

The task for this week was a tough one. No patterned papers or premade embellys!! We could use paints inks pens and alphas (thank God for alphas!) Had me stumped for a while but got some inspiration from some pp and tried to replicate them

Yes I'm a slacker.........

After the flurry of scrapping the other week, 7 LO's an OTP and a card, I have only completed one LO. But I have done LOTS of thinking and planning! Which I'm doing a lot more of latley. I'm organised and routined in everyday life so I dont know why it took me so long to apply it to scrapping!

So what goss do I have? My LO was chosen by random over at Butterfly Crafts as the winner for the month...woowhoo. Another $20 to spend at Hybrid and a GD spot for March, rather nervous about the last bit, especially with the criteria that was set. It's almost finished tho and I'll post after the 15th.

The only LO I have to share this time around is one I've done using a challenge pack I put together for my mate Em and I. Couple of years ago we decided to do a SM style 20/40/60 challenge and we are still doing them although not as often as we used too. I think I sent this pack to her back in Oct/Nov last year (blush) Anyhow here it is........................my cute little niece walking around, still rather unsteady but very mobile!!

Okay Em mines done, now where's yours? The challenge for you love is to get it done before bubs arrives in 6 weeks!!

Delivered my LO's for the bushfire ablums the other day. I was really touched when Nae put mine in the crate with the others -there were over one hundred LO's in there! Goodness scrappers are nice people!

I think I've yabbered long enough, I'm off to play with my alcohol inks and see what I can come up with for the next survivor challenge - no pp or purchased embellys!!!! What??

Week 4 on Cropdile Island

Here's my LO for this week ......had to be something we had survived. I chose to scrap probably the exhausting thing I've ever done, but it was so worth it! The climb to St Mary's Peak in the Flinders Rangers. Just an 8 hour walk no sweat!!

February's almost over!!

Well I cant believe it..........it'll be Christmas before I know it!!! Must make an early start on my cards this year. I only handed out 10 cards last year, so very slack of me and I did feel bad, so I must be more organised.

Anyway for me I have been scrapping up a storm! Here is my take on Ann Lavin's challenge for February.

And another on Toni Laws criteria......................I used blackboard vinyl as the base. The original plan was to do some drawings or sums on the background but it looked crappy so I went with a chalked border instead.

This weekend is the CC at Hybrid. Dont think I'll get all the challenges done.....................still have the Survivor one to do for this week aaaahhhhh!!! Scrap about something you have survived...........still thinking about that one.

Mels card challenge criteria must have a heart - tick

No black - tick

1 non scrap item - tick - I raided my sewing box and used a pin

and non standard size or a shaped card - mines a small 10 x 10cm card rather cute I thought

An OTP notebook I've made using Bella Corkopia..................criteria orange, pink and white (my favourite colour combo) and at least 3 hearts

Inside....................

Better go get my thinking cap on for the survivor challenge dont want to be kicked off the island just yet....too rah

Guilty Pleasure LO

Here is my LO for Butterfly Crafts Guilty Pleasure challenge..............................it's also based on the February sketch by the wonderful Mel at Hybrid.

On Crop-o-dile Island this week we had to scrap an household item! Goodness did this have me stumpped for a while but here is what I came up with (with a few suggestions - thanks Toni) Scrapped Thongs!

And for us gals on the Kanzan Tribe - a moral boost with some smuggled items. We lost a tribe member last week so I think we deserved something spesh! Survival Kit contents include: loo paper- so we dont need to use leaves, matches - to start a fire the easy way, shampoo/conditioner- cos goodness my hair feels gross, chocolate - mmmmm and scotch - for medicinal purposes only!! Oh and Sven (aka Ken) he's just there for our pleasure!!!! Goodness I'm silly LOL!

First LO of the Month

It usually takes me forever to do a LO, but this one came together super quick! Based on the sketch and criteria over at Black Magic. I generally dont do boy LO's overly well, but I'm really pleased with how this one turned out.

Of to plan my next one.............Gulity Pleasures.................wonder what they might be.....................
