This One Didnt Make it to the next round :(

Well here is another LO. It was round 2 of a challenge I was in. This one was entered and I didnt make the cut. The challenge "3s a crowd" and use stamping. Well, I used more than 3 photos so I think that struck me out for a start and stamping was meant to be the focal point of the LO. I thought the kids were enough and I am happy with this LO. It says what I want it to say and that is the main thing.

I have work today but I have the feeling that I will be home early. Time to break out the tripod and try to do some self portraits with the self timer. I have never been happy with any of the results of the self portrait thingy so I want to master it. I have a couple of pages I want to do 1 for my BOM and another for r3 of the challenges. I didnt make it to the round but I want to do the LO anyhow as it has stitiching and the self portrait thing and they are both going to challenge me.

Thanx for taking the time to look and leave a comment so I know you have dropped in.

take care

More LOs

Well i said i had been scrapping a lot lately. Here are 2 more that I completed for the SAM/Elsie Challenges. Has anyone else got Elsie's book? I have and I love it. There are so many good ideas that this book will be coming with me everywhere. I have "down time" this afternoon at swimming lessons for Melanie so I will be taking that book with me to read again. I want to get a "She" book as well. It sounds interesting and should be a good source of inspiration and motivation as well.

I also have a link on my blog to go and have a look at a scrapper with a fantastic sense of humour. It is the Scrap Happy link for anyone that wants to see. This lady is american but she just has such a great sense of humour and her last post about the hanging baskets is a total crack up.

I have to go to work now (darn it, interrupting my scrapping time) so its time to upload a couple of images and then off I go.

Scrapping up a Storm

I havent stopped scrapping. Nearly everyday I have scrapped something or finished off the LO from the day before or at the weekend completed 5 LOs!!!. I am loving the Classes to Go kit - "Garden Path". I have all 4 of them completed and they are on 12 x 12 format instead of the 11.5 x 8 format. This took some going as i had to reorganise a couple for 12 x 12 and change the orientation of them a bit. I also changed the "Friends" and did another family one as after my hard drive crash, I have lost a lot of the photos that I had. I have to find a person that specialises in Data Recovery and see if they can have a look at my old hard drive which is sitting on the desk here and see if they can find them again. Fingers crossed and a lot of money later i guess. Anyhow today I am going to upload my Classes to go Los i did. In the next couple of days i hope to put some of the others i have done up as well.



Oh and my pretty pink "bling" one made me get through to a second round challenge. Although I was happy with my 2nd round LO which i will upload in the next couple of days I dont think i am going to make the 3rd round as there were LOs that had a lot more 'Wow" factor than mine.

I have to go, the darn pupil free day is interrupting my scrapping time. Enjoy my LOs and take care.

I went into the past for these photos of the kids. Considering the littlest one has just turned 8 and the biggest one is 17 today they were taken quite a while ago. I just loved watching them run through the sea gulls at the same time having a flash back to watching Alfred Hitchcocks movie the birds. However I love the colours and didnt go to too much trouble as i love the photos. Little Melanie is running with her tongue out. I had forgotten she did this and Zak had his cheeky face on as he was running through the birds going "rah, rah". Jade was even being "girlie" then and Paige she is her "tom boy" self yet again. They had so much fun that day and those days were before the "digital" age for me. Oh well off again to do some more scrapping. Its been bill paying and shopping and school interviews today so not much done that i wanted to get done.

till next time

Well my first attempt at really getting into all things girlie. My daughter Jade was up visiting me recently and she is turning 17 tomorrow. These are a couple of the gifts she received for her birthday.

I have kindy glitzed the HS letters and used HS flowers and added gemstones to the centre of them. As the shoes had silver in them, i inked the plain janes chip accents with quick silver ink them added some diamond magic for it to shine. I dont think you can really see it but it looks great in real life and people that know me will be amazed as this is not how I usually scrap. You cant go wrong with basic grey in there somewhere too.

Over the next couple of days i hope to get some time to upload a couple of my latest 12 x 12s that i have finished. I decided to actually open up one of the classes to go kits that I bought from SAM earlier in the year and i have to say i am very happy with the first page. I am off to print some more photos so i can continue to scrap some more things. 5 am start again in the morning so i guess another early night for me.

In the meantime take care
