Some more LOs

I have been soooo very busy the last couple of weeks. I dont know where the time has gone. I will be posting on my other blog later if I have time before work today. I have finished some more LOs: This one is a challenge kit that I bought in April from The Scrapbook Cupboard. This LO was supposed to have a pic of me in it but I ran out of time for it to enter the challenge, so these photos that Peta (my sisterinlaw) took and gave to me looked and worked really well with all the elements of the kit. I think this has turned out rather well.
I must say I am very happy with the results. If you read this Lisa, its not that I didnt want to use a photo of myself, I ran out of time for your challenge and these photos just begged me to use them with the kit.

Here is the one I promised that I would show from the premade kit class that I did for the Stampers Hut a month ago. As I said I have been busy but here it is. Its the one I put the print in as I didnt have an old photo for it:
It is very dark, when I go to do the next class, I will try to photograph it again. I took this in the arcade outside the shop, next time I will have to go outside and use the natural lighting as the fluro lighting is aweful to photograph around.

Thats it for now. I want to go alter a folder that have decided to put ATCs in. I am participating in an ATC swap at The Scrapbook Cupboard and will be getting some back. I loved making mine and they are quick little pieces of artwork that you can still get a crafting "fix" from.

In the meantime

Stamper's Hut Layouts





My classes/workshops are going ok at the stampers hut. The kit was great and their LOs looked great when they were finished. I did one of the kits, as I didnt have a photograph with me, I used one of their prints in the shop for the photo. On Wednesday or Thursday this week, I will photograph that LO and put these ones up for the future classes. I still dont have any old photos of my grandparents etc so I just have to keep aging some of my own photos. The purple LO 's photos have a really pink tinge to them but they are quite like that just didnt photograph well.

One of the wedding LOs are mine but I dont know which one to keep.



I have donte 5 LOs for the shop this week. We also planned for the next 2 months for the newsletter. I am taking page protectors in to hang these on the wall as I dont want blue tack on the back of my LOs, I would rather have it on the page protectors. I may even velcro dot them to the wall, it makes things easier.

I went to the other scrap book store this week (looking for the right wedding colour bazzill for the above LOs) and they had a challenge pack in there. I bought it and have done it too. Wow thats 6 LOs for the week!! We had to used a bit of everything in the kit and only add ink as anything extra. Although I am sure journalling is allowed. I am so happy with how this turned out and it was a "fall together" LO.


Anyhow, I have visitors coming today (Peta and Travis) and my husbands visitors will be coming back this afternoon after their wargaming tournament to pack up and go home. Melanie and I were going to the beach today but the weather is turning ugly. So we are going to make gingerbread men. Hopefully some photo opportunities with just us today.

take care and enjoy your day

What I have been doing

Tess's Organised Chaos says it all this week.

Work work work. That's all I seem to be doing at the moment. I have only done that one LO as featured in my last post. I have been a very very busy bee.

Today I am at the Stampers hut again, for the morning. They chose this kit (cant remember what company) and I havent been given a spare to familiarize (is that a word?) myself with whats in it in case they have 6 booked in. I am hoping it will be smaller but i would say at least 4 today again. This one will be very "heritagy" and I did glance at one pack to see there were some lovely "nostalgics" embellishments.

In a fortnight, we are doing a "frame" LO. I have to make a good start on this tomorrow (hopefully finish it). As soon as its done, I will post again. I will be putting more family matters on my other blog as I want to just keep this here for my scrapping etc.

Thats about it today
