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!

Hi and welcome to My Scrap Space

I feel rather odd typing away here because I feel I'm just writing to myself! My kids will tell you I talk to myself, so I suppose it's just an extention of that. LOL.
Here are a few LO's for January Challenge's over at Hybrid.
First one was for Maria's Monochromatic Challenge. I have wanted to do one of these for quite sometime and I really enjoyed the challenge.

Second one was for Rachael. Australian song title/lyrics. I chose a Thirsty Merc song.

Toni's Challenge for the month was based on the strange summer weather she had been experiencing. Not that we had strange weather here in Adelaide as such but we are on water restrictions so I scrapped about that.



The Survivor comp has started at Hybrid and this is the first LO completed. It had to be based on my tribes totem. I used Stuck Sketch 68 for inspiration and Kasier pp as the tribes are named after two of the pp in the Sakura range. Sorry Em just had to use this photo LOL. Just so us!


That's it for the minute.............................off to do my CJ
