A birthday party and some Lo's to share.

Hey all,

Well I have just put my house back together after Declan had a teddy bears picnic for his 5th birthday. It was only little but they had so much fun.  So I am ready for a quick dinner and an early night.

We took Declan to Build-a-bear during the week for his birthday it was fantastic. The boys had a ball. I'll pop back with some photos tomorrow.

I have a few LO's to share.

This was my LO for ASM

This months clip was by Delta Goodrem, I found it a bit harder than usual. I have used the crown, lyrics from the song and the bling as my inspiration.

I love these photos of my niece at her deb. This is not a good photo, best I could get though.

I did this LO for a challenge at AP

It was a challenge set by Andrea using a pagemaps sketch. I loved this sketch.

This was a LO I did for the monthly sketch challenge at KTM

It was designed by Delys Cram. Cool sketch.

This was for another challenge at KTM, You had to use stamps and watercolour pencils. I found this quite difficult, it took me a few turns to get it right.

This is a LO I did using the sketch for July at Roadmaps aussie pubcalls.

LOVED this sketch too. It would seem that I love all sketches. LOL. Sketches and buttons seem to be the flavour of the month.

KTM had there CC last night, It was a fun night with a heap of great challenges, there are some great prizes up for grab and you have until the 10th of August to upload them to the gallery. Go take a look.

My challenge was an inspiration challenge. I have taken inspiration from a coke add I found on the net. Pretty cool, with heaps of great ideas. This is my sample LO.

Well I think that's about it for now, if I have forgotten anything I'll add it when I upload some party photos, I think I got some great ones Declan is such a poser.

Arty Pants July boys kit.

Just a quick one to post my DT work for Artypants.  Artypants are celebrating their 1st birthday in their new store in Cranbourne next weekend. To celebrate there are 3 kits this month. Aswell as the main monthly kit there is a girls and boys kit. They all look fantastic. They will be up on the Artypants site soon, but Jodie has her LO's for the main kit on her blog(Pretty Cool) and they are available for purchase now. I have been playing with the boys kit and WOW, it's so much fun! 

Here's what I came up with.

A card

And I used this little canvas from my own stash to use some of my leftovers

Artypants are also celebrating their birthday next weekend with a birthday bash at the friday crop and all weekend with a BIG SALE and demonstrations, face painting and freebies. Come on in for some fun and bargains.

I am in the middle of a few challenge LO's, so I'll be back with them later.

Chat soon. TFL

Another year older!

Yeah I had my birthday on Sunday, I turned 35 and feel about 55 at the moment!LOL

We had a lovely day at home, DH was at work so we stayed home and watched the chipmunks and just chilled. We went out to Hogsbreath cafe for dinner. It was yum! The boys had such a great time and loved the food.  The boys gave me a long arm stapler, which I had wanted for ages. So  that was cool. It was from office works. Rick gave me some dvd's one was spicks and specks which I love! Anyway that's that for another year, next week is Dh's B'day and then soon Declan. I better get shopping!

I couldn't believe this, but I got an acceptance for Scrapbooking Memories, My LO me and my monsters! I was so excited, but I just couldn't register it, being so soon to my first one.LOL

Here is my Lo for the june Aussie scrap music blog. I loved the film clip this month, so much inspiration. Here is my Lo. I did a double because I had too many ideas for a single.

OOOH! I just got my kit from Embellished that I won at ASM in May. It looks fantastic, I can't wait to play with it!

Some Keep n the memories news. I was waiting for my first kit to come out, which it did today to share that I am now a permanent DT member at KTM. I am so happy and enjoying working with Toni and Nic!

The July kit is up for sale now, It's chock full of gorgeous products. Heaps of embelies to play with! Go take a look! Keep n the memories

So Here are the LO's, OTP and card that I came up with!

I think that is all I have to share at the moment.

Chat soon, TFL!

OMG! OMG! OMG!

WOW what a few weeks it has been. I have got so much to share. A few really exciting things and a few LO's.

I got it! That email I have been hoping for! "We want to publish your LO". I got my first acceptance today from scrapbooking creations. It is my Bailey @ 6 LO. It was so cute, I got home and Rick was acting a bit weird. I was worried something was wrong until I saw the massive smile on his face. Then I noticed the computer had two little bunches of balloons on it. Then when I touched it my acceptance letter appeared! LOL

I got my dream car last week. Ever since I saw the new holden ute in the green  I wanted a car in that colour. I really wanted a lancer and then one day I found it a lancer in the holden green. Here's some photos I took at Sky high in the dandenongs and the frankston beach.

My other exciting news was that I won the first challenge at Aussie Scrap Music. I have won some really cool prizes too. This was my LO of Rick I uploaded a few posts ago.  I had a heap of fun doing this LO and am loving this months clip by Chasing Bailey.

Well I've got a few Lo's to share now.

Here is a LO I did on the AP retreat I missed it last time. 

The KTM CC was fantastic. Alot of fun and games and some pretty cool challenges.

This was my sample LO for my handmade challenge. You had to use no store bought embelies or alphas. I had alot of fun with this and the entries were fantastic.

These are my cards for Michelle's challenge. You had to make 6 cards using 1 pp, cardstock and embossing. 

This was my LO for Delys's one manufacturer challenge. I used all BG products.

This was for Kerryn's Nursery Rhyme Challenge. I had this one started ages ago, it gave me an excuse to finish it off.

This was for Nic's inspiration challenge The inspiration I took from her gorgeous LO were vintage, white rub ons, BG pp and two flowers. This was my first vintage LO and I found this pretty difficult, but I quite like the end result. 

I think that's all for now, I've got some stuff I can't share yet and some other stuff I need to take photos of, so I'll leave them for next time.

WOW! What a weekend!!!

Well the Artypants retreat was last weekend and it was fantastic.  A weekend full of fun, scrapping and lots and laughs.

Congratulations to Jodie and Judy on such a successful first AP retreat. Thankyou so much for an amazing weekend. I am already looking forward to next year!

It was at camp manyung. It was great. We had a whole table each so we all had plenty room to spread out. The rooms were great and the food was fantastic. 

There were lots of great challenges to take part in and the musical scraps was so much fun. Had never done this before.

Judy decided to paint Bec's face, so then we all added our little touch. We also used the photos for a same photo challenge which was fun. The LO's all turned out so different.

So I didn't get that many LO's done, but am happy with the ones I did do. I'm going to take photos now so I'll add them later.

See ya Suzi

Back with some LO's I did on the weekend

This was a tricky one. Andrea's challenge had to have a photo of yourself, say the word beautiful, be monotone, tell the story of the photo and have 5 things you like about yourself. This is my LO happy.

This is my LO for the same photo challenge of Bec after she was scrapbooked.

This is a Lo I did for the scraplifting challenge. This is a lift of one of Jodies fantastic LO's.

I did the next 3 LO's using some of the stuff from the fantastic goody bags we got on arrival. Thanks Jody and Judy.

This is a LO I did for a sample LO for the retreat. Loving these papers.

 I think that's all I finished, I have some finishing touches to add to a few more Lo's.

Anyway that's it for now.

See ya

WOW! I've been so slack

Hey there,

Sorry I have been so slack, but I really haven't had anything to share.

It has been so hectic around here lately, so I think I did 1 Lo in 3 weeks. Things seem to be settling down so I hope to catch up and get a bit more done.  I have a few half done LO's I need to complete and a few challenges I would like to do.

I am so excited that the AP retreat is on friday. I can't wait. I am looking forward to getting some good scrapping done, but I am also looking forward to getting away and just chilling. It should be a great weekend, heaps of fun and games. I am just starting to plan out some LO's. I am hoping to have a heap ready to go I should get at least a few done that way.

Mothers day was pretty quiet, we just hung around here, Rick had to go to work. It was a nice day though. How cool is this my boys bought me a pink x-box controller so I could play x-box with them. LOL. I got some new pj's too. Bailey had so much fun at the school mothers day stall, he was so excited. He got a hair brush and gel and some bath products. I was very spoilt.

I only have one Lo to share it is a LO I did using the inspiration from the new challenge blog aussie scrap music, 

I found it on Aussie pub calls and really like the idea of it. They choose an Australian Artist and show a film clip and you need to use three inspirations from the film clip or the lyrics. Pretty cool idea hey!

This month was the John Butler Trios song good excuse. My inspiration was a line from the song(and the theme the real world), the swirls and trees and the cogs.

Hope I'll be back next week with heaps of work and stories to share.

Chat then
