Monthly Challenges....

Hi Everyone,
I have had such a busy few weeks and didnt think I would get to create any layouts this month, BUT really wanted to do these 2.  I hope you all dont mind that I have the two linked together ;-)

First up is the July monthly challenge over at Kraft it up... You can find all the details here: http://kraftitup.blogspot.com/2011/06/july-kraft-it-up-challenge.html.
Always so inspiring.

Here is my entry......
                                                                     

                                                FRIENDS......

I was lucky enough to spend 4 days in Cairns with these gorgeous girls and had so much fun xxxx Love them both dearly......

Thanks KIU DT for the inspiration each and every month.....

The second challenge I was able to complete was for the amazing challenge blog Scrap the Girls.....

I loved this challenge and you can find out all about it here:  http://scrap-the-girls.blogspot.com/2011/06/july-challenge.html

I got inspiration from the colours and chose to use one of  one of Pinks songs (perfect) in my title.

Loved this challenge....

Here is my take:

                                     2 PERFECT ANGELS........

A little close up....

I have been super busy sewing, painting and generally just getting myself organised for the markets.  I am so excited to be finally doing this and cannot hardly wait.  Its been and still is a mammoth task with loads of organising to do but hopefully all will be worth it.  More on that later.

Take care .....

Thanks for looking...

Productive Weekend....

Wow , I have just spent a great week-end in Cairns with some gorgeous friends.  This is the 3rd time I have flown up to the Scraptherapy 3 day retreat. Love it and this year was no exception.  I got to spend some awesome time with with Helen and Lisa again (who I just love), and caught up with some friends I have know for ages and others that I just met this weekend.
Classes were just awesome with loads of new techniques to learn.
I have a couple of bits to finish off and will share when I do , but for now I will show you the layouts I did manage to finish.

This one was Lisa Pate's class.  We got to use a gorgeous piece of canvas mixed with an assortment of different inks.


                                                              'ALWAYS BE YOU'
                                                                      

                                                        


                                                      'MAY YOU ALWAYS BE HAPPY'

'WEDDING DAY'

'LACHLAN'

'WELCOME SOPHIA'

Pretty happy with my efforts and I cant wait to finish off the other couple of things.

I have had a busy week back at work, but hope to have another sale very very soon, so stay tuned.

Hope everyone has a great week.

Take care.
