Are You Sick of Me Yet?

I'm back again! I don't think I have ever blogged this much with stuff to share! I have now completed 29 of the 30 sketches for the September comp at SFS. This is my take on the sketch from the 29th.
And this is the sketch with the extra criteria of using some household material such as hessian, fabric or doilies.

Thanks so much for stopping by and for any comments you may leave. :)

Excited!!

to be the Guest Designer for the current sketch over at Creative Scrappers. Here is my take on sketch #176:

based on this sketch:

Once again I have used October Afternoon 'Rocket Age' (I hope you aren't too sick of seeing it! lol). I have used this paper as a background before and loved it so much, I thought I'd use it again. A big thanks once again to Sarah Hemmings for the photo too! And now for some close ups:
The clouds are from A Lil Somethin and the pin is from MLBOW - love it!
I've added some Pink Paislee alphas and a little fabric button as well. I would love the see you play along. You can check out what the Design Team have done here.

What A Mess!

Just a quick share today. This is my layout from the final sketch over at Scrapbooking From Scratch. There were some extra criteria for this one: must use 2 photos, border punch or hand-cut scallops, at least 3 pps, hand written journalling and mixed alpha title (at least 2). This is my take:

Luke took these photos of Darcie when I was away at Camp Mojo in July. While he was on the phone, she had found the moisturising cream in the bathroom and smeared it all over her face and hands!! She thought she was pretty funny but I don't think he did much! lol I have used some Echo Park 'Happy Days' on this one.

I'll be back in the next few days with some exciting news and a share. Thanks for stopping by...

Back Again

with a few more shares. Only 2 layouts to go and I am caught up! :) These are the ones I've done since yesterdays' post. This is the sketch from the 25th with the extra criteria of negative alphas and black cardstock - check!
The photo is from when we took the kids to see the Wiggles a few years ago. And this one is from the 24th. I've flipped it on its side. I don't really like this one but it was created late at night and I was a little over it by then! lol

This is my take on the sketch from way back on the 16th. I couldn't do 30 sketches and not have a Christmas one in there somewhere! lol

This one is from the 15th and had the extra criteria of a painted background and string. The photo in this one was taken by Sarah Hemmings. I've used mist as my background and added some twine.

And finally, this is my take on the sketch from the 26th. I've machine stitched again! I just wish I didn't have such a crappy sewing machine, cause I actually enjoy sewing on my pages but get really frustrated with my machine! lol And the photo once again was taken by Sarah.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I'm hoping to be all caught up by this afternoon. (And then I'd better start on the housework.)

More Sketches

We have been 'camping' over at our other property for a few days with no internet access so I have fallen way behind on the sketches over at Scrapbooking From Scratch. I am determined to catch up though so this is my take on todays sketch from Sassy Lil Sketches:


Don't fall off your chairs, but I have actually machine stitched on this one!! I've used lots of mist as well and some Studio Calico pps. This is my take on yesterdays sketch. I copied Sarah and used a pic of Luke and I on our wedding day. (Hope you don't mind Sarah).

And yes, the photo is crooked but by the time I realised I'd already stuck stuff over the top, so it's just going to have to stay that way! LOL I've used Crate Paper 'Portrait' again. And finally this is my take on the sketch from the 23rd September.

Still using my OA 'Rocket Age' - just love it! These photos of Lachlan are a few years old now. I can't believe how much he's changed. Here's hoping I can get the rest finished soon.

Thanks for stopping by...

Still Catching Up

on the sketches I've missed at Scrapbooking From Scratch. This one is from the 17th. I've scrapped a photo of my Mum on her wedding day.
This was todays sketch which is also a Sassy Lil Sketches Sketch. I was inspired by a layout I saw on the Bella Blvd blog by Leeann Pearce. I've used some Crate Paper 'Neighbourhood'.

This is my take on the sketch from the 19th. It had extra criteria of using spots.

This layout is the sketch from the 18th Sept. It also happens to be the current sketch at Stuck?!


And finally this is the sketch from the 20th Sept. Yep that's my husband up a tree! Sometimes I wonder if I have 4 kids instead of 3. lol

I was able to get all these layouts done today because of a scrappy day with Sarah & Donna. It was nice to scrap and chat with other people. :) Hopefully I can catch up the rest in the next few days.

Been AWOL

We've been in Brisbane for the weekend. We took the kids down to Seaworld last Friday. It was such a fantastic day. We also caught up with family for a few days.

Because we were away, I am way behind in the daily sketch comp at SFS. I'm madly trying to catch up. This is my layout for the 11th Sept sketch:

I've used a mix of OA 'Boarding Pass' and 'Seaside' on this one. And this is todays sketch using some Simple Stories 'Happy Day':

And finally, the sketch from 12 Sept with the extra criteria of a patterned paper background and 3 photos.
I've used some Echo Park 'Happy Days' on it. I'm hoping to catch up the rest over the school holidays. Wish me luck! lol
