I have had such an awesome time being on the current CT with such wonderful scrappers. I can't wait to see who the new faces may be - are you going to apply?

Basic Grey Loving!!

I received some of the new Basic Grey range 'Marjolaine' in my pack of goodies from The Little Scrapbook Shop. This is what I have created so far:

Love the colours in this range. And how cute is that chippy wing from Twiddleybitz?!

I stuck the alpha stickers to some patterned paper and then cut them out. I tied a bow with some wide ribbon and attached that as well. I also created this:

I have mixed a little OA in with the BG. I wiped my blue ink pad over the background and used my Dymo labeller for some of the journalling.

This weekend is the December CyberCrop over at LSBS too - you can find all the details here. Hope to see you there. :)

Going Going Gone!

I wish I was saying that about the rain! Geez it's been wet here over the past few days. I'm looking forward to seeing the sun. But I guess rainy weather gives me a good excuse to scrap - and that's just what I have done. :) I received my order from LSBS on Friday and in it was these Echo Park 'Little Boy' papers! They are the cutest!


Lachlan has just learnt to ride his bike without training wheels. We live at the top of a hill and there are gravel roads in all directions so it has taken him a while to get the confidence for the training wheels to come off. He did a 'test run' on the lawn just in case he 'crashed' (as he called it!). I had to grab the camera. The first run wasn't so good, but now he has the hang of it and rides EVERYWHERE without a problem. Now I think he needs a bigger bike! LOL

Thanks for stopping by...

Scrap The Girls

Back again! This time with this months challenge at Scrap The Girls. You need to create a layout using only ONE set of your choice from the following sets of complementary colours:

red and green

blue and orange

yellow and violet

You may also use small amounts of neutral colours (eg. black, white, cream & kraft) remember girls only! I decided to go with blue and orange - a combination I don't use very often:

I hope you get to play along! Thanks for stopping by...

Kraft It Up

The December challenge is now up on the Kraft It Up blog. The challenge is to scrap a Christmas photo using non-traditional colours and you also need to incorporate KNOTS on your layout, whether it is with ribbon, fabric, twine, lace etc. So here is my example:

I have used the Echo Park 'Everybody Loves Christmas' range that I got in my DT kits from the Little Scrapbook Shop - love the colour scheme in this range.

Thanks for all your lovely comments about my AWESOME news! It means a lot.

December Daily

You may have noticed that I have had the Ali Edwards December Daily badge in my sidebar for a few weeks now. Every year I oooh and aahh over other peoples journals so this year I decided to play along. I'm not sure I will document every day leading up to Christmas - let's face it, not much goes down in Monogorilby! LOL I have had the album done for about a week now and have only just remembered to photograph it! So here it is:


This is the front cover. I have used a Pink Paislee 6 x 6 canvas album.


This is a side view showing all the pages. I decided to cut some shaped pages to put in amongst the square ones. I staggered the widths of them too.

And these are a few of the pages:


Have you made one too? Thanks for stopping by...

So....

now that the cats out of the bag, I can FINALLY share my amazing news that I have been chosen as a SCRAPBOOKING MEMORIES MASTER for 2010!!!! I still can’t believe it – even though I have known for a few months now. It was pretty hard not being able to tell anyone but I guess it’s a good thing we live in the bush and don’t talk to too many people! LOL I also what to give a huge congratulations to my fellow LSBS DT member, Kerryn Leworthy. I'm so happy to be sharing this journey with her.

This was the first time I had entered the Masters Competition. I thought it would be a great challenge for me and I certainly didn’t have any expectations that I would win – a HM would have been more than enough for me!! The day I got ‘the call’ was actually Michala’s birthday so we had 2 reasons to celebrate! I don't think it has completely sunk in yet. I really can't wait to see the mag now. Congratulations to all the other ladies who have been chosen as well. I can't believe my name is on that list with such amazing and talented scrappers.
