Scrap the Boys August Challenge.....

Hi Everyone.....
Well its been such a sad heart wrenching week for me this week with one of my dearest friends loosing her husband and soulmate in a tragic accident.  I have know Helen for many years now after meeting on a forum then lucky to meet in real life years later at a scrap retreat.  Since then we have become the best of friends and each year (sometimes twice a year) I meet up with her again .  There would hardly be a day goes by when I dont have contact with her and I just thank my lucky stars that this wonderful girl has come into my life.   My heart goes out to Helen and her 2 boys Jacob and Braiden and of course all of Matt's and Helen's families.   Rest in peace Matt.


I have just completed the latest challenge over at Scrap the boys, and to be perfectly honest was just the distraction I needed.
You can find out all about the challenge here :  http://scraptheboys.blogspot.com/2011/08/august-challenge-at-scrap-boys.html

I took my inspiration from the colours and shapes and happy with my end result.

Here is my take on the challenge....



                                                      Your smile brightens my day.......

And a couple of close ups.....

Thanks for a great challenge......

Take care and dont foget to be thankful for the ones you love....

White with 1 August Challenge.

I have loved doing the challenges at 'White with 1' of late.   They are actually quiet challenging and most certainly get the creative juices flowing.   This month was no exception.   The challenge  is White and Purple plus doodling.   I am not really a purple kinda person but I do LOVE to doodle so this challenge was a must do for me.  I am quiet happy with the end result.
You can find all the challenge information here :

And here is my take on the challenge......
                                                               
                                                                             'SOPHIA'....

And a close up of some of the doodling......

Well only 2 weeks to go till my first market and I am getting super excited.  I have been painting and sewing and just generally creating now for the past weeks and I will be glad to have the day finally arrive.  I am even more excited that my oldest dd Erin will be joining me with some of her lovely creations.  Stay tuned for a few sneak peeks of what is coming.....

Hope everyone has a great week.

Take care.

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 .....
