A wonderful week....

Well I have just had the most wonderful week with my gorgeous friend Lisa and her 2 little girls come to visit..  It was just lovely... The weather was not so kind BUT we managed to do a few little trips and the company was just the bestest.....
Last weekend was the CC over at 'Scrap Therapy' where I finally managed to do 3 of the challenges....
The first was the challenge set by Helen (the card queen).   It was a lovely sketch and this is my take ...

The next challenge was set by Lisa and we had to use some fabric and do some stitching...I love this photo of my eldest DD and her hubby on their wedding day....

And the 3rd challenge I managed to complete was by Allie and it was a bowerbird challenge which saw us create a layout using a list of things to use..... Love this photo of Ryder in the bath.....

I cant wait for the next one now....

My gorgeous friend Clare from the UK gave me this little award last week and it made my day....Thankyou Clare...... :-)

I recieved some yummy scrappy goodness in the post on thursday so am hoping to have a little play this afternoon......Thankyou Lee-anne......

Till next time...

Take care...

'Lets get Shabby' Challenge No 14.....

Well 2 blog posts in 2 days!!!!! Must be a record for me I think.... :-)
I wasnt sure I would have enough time to finish this challenge BUT luck was on
my side with a quiet day at work so I got to finish a little earlier..(just what I needed)...
Ok back to the challenge.  You can find all the details here : http://letsgetshabby.blogspot.com/2010/07/challenge-14_25.html ....

I chose to paint up a little canvas and was lucky enough to have picked  up a tin heart with wings in the 'junkie' shop one day which turned out to be perfect for this challenge.  I then used some rub - on's to put part of the quote that I liked and then decorated to my hearts content.  I love how this turned out.
I also made a couple of yo yo flowers and added those.
Here is what I ended up with.....

And a few close up views.....

Thanks to all at 'Lets get shabby' for another great challenge and inspiration galore....
Take care..

Well thats about if for now...I am working on the 'Let's get shabby' challenge BUT may run out of time I think!!!!!

DH surprised me on Sunday morning by telling me to pack a small bag as we were going away for the night to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary.. We went to Albury which was lovely, did a little shopping, went out for a lovely dinner then had a few drinks at the club. It was just lovely.  On sunday morning he gave me a beautiful pearl necklace...I love this man to bits.....

Oh I almost forgot to share the sketch challenge for this month over at 'Scrapville'...As always Melinda does an awesome job on all her sketches and this one was no exception..You can find all the details here:   http://thescrapvilleblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-sketch.html ...

Scrapville august monthly packs...

Well its that time again!!! Monthly packs from Scrapville.....http://thescrapvilleblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-monthly-packs.html

I loved both of the packs this month ... again!!!! and both so very different...
Here is what I came up with ....
The 'Bo Bunny' mamma razzi pack....

And the gorgeous 'Fancy Pants' wishful thinking....

Just a few other bits and pieces to share...

This is a page I did for my DD for her calendar page...I have been doing a calendar page every month for her since little Ryder was born....

And this is the layout I did for last months challenge over at 'Scrap the girls'....My neice's little bubba .. so cute....

I have also been working on 30 assorted cards that I got an order for at work...Just about finished though BUT with being sick for the last few days the scrapping has slowed down a little.  Hopefully now I have some good old anti's to help me out I should be on the mend real soon..

Hope everyone has a great week...

Take care..
