No Swine Flu Here...............Honest!!!

Well I have been rightly miserable for the last week with a darn head cold that I just can shake. I haven't done alot scrapping wise with the folks popping in for a week stay and now my cold. But I thought I'd share my Challenge 11 LO and my inchies for swap at Hybrid

The photo of the inchies is not to good being night photo but you get the general idea. Cant wait for the swap to be posted out.

Off to catch up on some CJ's.......only have three here waiting(blush) dont wanna let the team down.

Things to share



Why hello people! Been so busy around the house that I feel I haven't scrapped much. But I got a few things to share with ya!


Maria is running a A-Z book of..........whatever you like. So I'm doing one on Mitch cos I really dont like doing boy LO's. So I thought this might give me the oppotunity to try a few different things on a small scale. The cover of the album is covered in denim from an old pair of his jeans and the elastic that holds it together is from the adjustable waist band. His name is double sided stickers which I have covered in red flocking. Now that stuff really makes a jolly mess but goodness it works soooo well.


A is for attitude. This kid has plenty of it!! I've rummaged thru my stash and found some old BG Colour me silly range. Sorry did I say some.................I mean the entire range including stickers and tags (blush) Just put it away a never used it, like a lot of things (more blushing)




I have just completed Challenge 10 for Scrapbook Survivor. We had to use the flourish we made for the mini-challenge, and make a LO about a dream. (This could be an actual dream you've had, a dream-come-true, a daydream, etc.) and use the word DREAM somehow in your title (including the variants - dreaming, dreamed etc)

The only other thing I'm doing is a swap of inchies. I need to make 100 (yes 100) 1" x 1" monochromatic squares in orange. Everyone has a different colour and you end up with 10 of each colour. This is what the finished product may look like

Well I think it looks fabbo and I have a spot picked out on my scrap space wall to hang it when done. 10 down 90 to go!!!
So I'd better go!!!

Challenge 9

Cant believe I'm still on the Island..................... thought I would have been voted off by now! This round we had to scrap about our favourite toy, piece of clothing, holiday spot or person. To be honest I really cant remember that far back!! LOL But Mum assures me Humphrey was my favourite toy. This photo is also special as it is only one of a handful I have of myself.



I also used a WOIN kit to do the LO. I really cant praise these kits enough......they are great value for money ranging from $12 - $20 odd dollars and there is enough product for several LO's. Go check out the May Kits.

Being Slack?

Well yes and no!


Have been really busy this month with doing up our shed ,to make it a games room and scrap space. YAY! And looking for a new car. Got one! Being sick and working !


This has left little time for scrapping. Boooo. Still got lots to do in the shed but it's getting there.





Two LO's to share


First one is for Challenge 8 for the Survivor comp. We had to scrap our scrap space! I seem to be rather tidy in comparsion to the other girls. But I do feel that might change when I have my own area and can just shut the door on it!! hehe.








The second LO is for Ann's April Challenge.



I have done another 8.5 x 11 lovin' this size at the moment.



I have also used product from the WOIN Sultry Kit. These kits are great for those of us that have trouble co ordinating different pp's - everything goes together so well. Check them out May Kits will be revealed soon..............


Lastly,

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

to

Emma and Phil

on the safe and rather quick arrival of

Another bouncing baby boy to add to their beautiful family.

Good luck sweet..................3 under 3!!! At least you are surrounded by family and good friends.

Mwah!!

8.5 x 11

I loved doing this size..........gonna do a few more I think.

This one is for Toni's April Challenge over at Hybrid 4 colours, 4 word title and 4 types of embellishments.




The story behind the blackeye? Giving my son a gentle wake up kiss on the ribs!! He thought I was going to tickle him so he swung his elbow back and POW......just about knocked me out! April fools day to me!!
Off to figure out what to do next

Challenge 7

Oh my....how hard was the challenge this week at Hybrid, I didn't like it at all!!

Theme is -- some aspect of being on the Island

The criteria

1. you must have at least 3 sentences of journalling

2. Your LO must include metal, in any shape or form

3. You must use blue OR green OR beige/sandy colour as your predominant colour

Oh yeah and it had to be a double!!!!!

I've hit a wall at the moment and have hardly scrapped. So I thought I'd try a change in size of LO's. This one is just 2 15 x 30, but I'll be doing 8.5 x 11 to shake things up a bit and hopefully get the juices flowing again.




I've stitched the page protector in half and have also added some embellishments to the outside of the sleeve for something a little different. Photo's from Photobucket - I wish they were mine!!!

Off to finish my first 8.5 x 11!!! Bye
