123 Challenge - April

I had so much FUN creating this LO!!!!

The challenge criteria was to use lime green, the word 'really' and fabric .... I may have taken the term fabric out of the square slightly though - I used tissue!

Am absolutely loving how it turned out :)

Who's Coming???

To Chat With Charm's FIRST CYBERCROP??!!??



There will be plenty to do in the way of challenges galore and a great fun game of bingo :) Come along and chat with us if you can.

Starts at 7.30pm SA time :)

Sketchy Thursday March Challenge:

Quickly sharing my LO for the day: from the Sketchy Thursday blog ... quite pleased with it myself, aside from the dismal misting!!



I also finished the Purplescraps puzzle challenge -- that was definitely a doozy! I got there in the end though LOL



More to come .... there's a few left on my list to get through before the end of March!!!!

Welcome to 2011

A little late, but better than never!

I've started scrapping again :) There was a serious lack of inspiration and motivation throughout 2010 but it's back in spades.

There's been a few developments in my scrappy travels on the web, but I'm pleased to say that I'm back at my old stomping ground Purplescraps and I'm a new member of the recently unveiled forum Chat with Charm -- a fantastic new forum! I'd highly recommend you visit both sites, check them out and hopefully stay awhile!

The other BIG development lately is that I'm having another baby ♥ Yep, number 2 is in the works! Due early October and I couldn't be happier. The mojo resurgence is more than a passing coincidence with my new pregnancy -- I didn't want my 2nd baby to not have albums to look through as they grow up, hence my return to the craft.

So without further ado, I have some new favourite challenge blogs, a lot of new scrappy friends to chat with, and a countdown to a new squishy bundle of love :)

I'll share a few of my latest LOs, with links to the sites they're associated with of course...

Giving a quick update

Well I'm really rather embarrassed to admit that since my last post, I haven't scrapped a *single thing* :o

It's not for lack of motivation, it's more so to do with my commencement of an external Nursing degree which has resulted in pretty much any of my previous scrapping time being relegated to study time.

Semester is over in a few weeks so I might try to get something knocked together then, although I don't like my chances because I'm relocating in two weeks as well!! I know!! Crazy right??

I've had a wonderful time here in the outer suburbs of Brisbane, but it's time to get serious - there are a lot of great schools and support services for ASD families on the Coast, and it's more to the point where my parents live and they're just chomping at the bit to have us closer (and so am I to be honest, I've not had a 'break' for over 4 years).

So hopefully when I'm settled (for good! No more moving!), then I'll be able to get some scrapping done - after all, I need to put Bon's kits to good use don't I :)

A few more LO shares

Well, the Game On! shenanigans over at Bons have almost finished, so things will be settling down again (possibly lol) when Bon returns on the 12th Feb. In the meantime, we're still having a ball with challenges, LO creations and games.

In between all the hurrah, I've created a few LOs that I'd like to share ---- none have been subbed (Yet :p) so I can showcase them here for a little while.

Here they are!















I'd also like to share some daily photographs I've taken of 'everyday moments', part of one of the Game On! Challenges set by our resident photographer de magnifique, Charm ♥













And just because I love it so much, some fantastic 7Gypsies tape I picked up the other day from my LSS ... it's great! I highly recommend you get some (if you can find it ;)):

Scrapbook Creations Magazine, Issue 78 2010

Make sure you buy this copy or at least take a look through it ... you'll see me in the pages!!

That's right! After being encouraged by my girls over at Bons, I decided to submit my very first LO.

Well wouldn't you know it - I got an email from them a little over a week later saying that they want to publish it! It's a big step for me, plus having my work in print will make me feel just that little bit famous LOL

Now I can't share the entire LO with you (that would be a big NO NO!), I will however share a small snippet .. just to whet your appetite! I've also created another few LOs as well and you're going to see ALL of them so don't worry too much about being starved!

So here's my published LO 'Birth to Four'





Another LO I've created this week is for the CC - Sandie's sketch was simply inspirational!



Be sure to check in again over the next few days, there'll be many more LOs to share!

Thanks for stopping by
