I challenged myself with this album. All I had was punches and pack of rubon letters and accents and the photos. This is what I came up with.

Mini Album

Ok I have finally finished the mini album I started last week. Here it is

More Pics

Heres some more pics

I'm back

Hi All,

We are back from our week of camping on the foreshore at Rosebud. The kids and I had a ball. Jayde was hardly out of the water and her surfboard (xmas pressie) was attached to her. Trey enjoyed his board too but he had the best time riding his bike everywhere around the camping grounds. I had a rest too......hardly seen the kids. I read a book called Bad Ground about the Beaconsfield miners being trapped underground for almost 2 weeks. I couldnt put it down. I read most of Rebecca Sowers two books too which gave me alot of food for thought about my scrapbooking. I almost finished a mini album i took to do. So as you can see I was productive too. It was the best place to go for a holiday with young kids. The water was shallow all the time and I had hardly any stress about them swimming. Theres alway a stress value there but nothing like it would be in deep water. You'll see what I mean in the photos. Bob and I packed the tent up in the pouring rain....that was fun. Glad it wasnt cold. Actually I really enjoyed being carefree and walking around in the rain saturated. I use to walk alot pre kids in my carefree days. In fact Ihave decided to be a bit more spontaneous and carefree this year.

Ok heres some photos

Leanne

Heres another LO I have done for PipeDream Ink today.This one is a double....I really am out of my comfort zone doing them.
Most od the brads are opalled, the squares are opalled and then Ive used a texture mat on them to give them a paattern. The little circles are chipboard....and yes very fiddly to do. The title is opalled too.

I scrapped today

Well I cant believe I havent posted since before xmas. How slack is that.....don't answer that.
We are now well and truly into January and I actually had some time to scrap today. Its been awhile and I was getting a bit worried I had lost my mojo cos it took a bit to get me started.
Heres what I come up with. Its for PipeDream Ink using their new red opals.

Boxes and letters were a hit

Well the boxes were a huge hit with the girls. I think the teachers liked their letters. They were rushed with pressies when they opened up Jaydes so its understandable.
So now schoolad kinder are over for the year....oh boy. I must admit I am not going to miss making lunches and having to be out by 8:30am every morning BUT and its a big BUT I am not looking forward to having 2 ARGUEMETATIVE kids home 24/7 for 6 weeks....LOL. I willjust have to keep them busy.

Going out to look at xmas lights so will finish this tomorrow.

Here's what I have been up to

Heres a pic of a couple of the letters I did for teachers. Just to give you an idea.

Jayde and I have altered these little paper mache boxes too. We had alot of fun doing these. We have put some hair ties etc in them for Jayde to give as gifts to her friends.

Its almost Chrissie

Hope everyone has fiished or is hasalmost finished their shopping for xmas. Its not far away now. I am almost there. I am going to try and finish it all today cos the shops are filling up and I just cant stand shopping in a crowd.
I have almost finished the teachers letters .....woohoo I had so much fun doing these. Hope they like them.

Its been awhile

I cant believe its been a month since I started this blog and posted my first lonely post.
Well I went to MPE ( Melb Paperific ) and had a blast doing the make and takes at the AED stand. I had a chance to catch up with some people I havent seen for ages. It was great. I did a little shopping but didnt break the bank.
