busy week

With ero coming tomorrow its been a busy week doing lots of cleaning and organising.
Didn't lose any weight this wek but I am not surprised with a mega birthday party at work and the parents shouting pizza for the staff. But I have had time to scrap and this is my contribution for the week

this is the last of my oak avenue road photos. It looks like I did not get on the design but I had fun trying, have discovered a cool new webby and I have taken the first step so it is all good.

back again

This week has gone quite fast.Had monday off so only four days at work. I am getting some space cleared for my scrappin room so this week put some stuff on trade me and made about $90 still alot more to go. the challenge over at Scrappinpatch was a blue and yellow challenge. I didn't realise how often I dont use yellow o I had to go to the shop but only ended up using one of my purchases. I created this very simple layout but I think it looks very effective. yellow and blue makes a stricking combination.

sketch challenge

At least I am consistently useless at updateing my blog. Anyway that has too change. One of my scrapping goals for this year is to become part of a design team or at least try out and so when I saw a call at http://littleshopofsketches.wordpress.com
I thought I have nothing to lose by trying out so this is the sketch that I worked on

and this is my take on it

Anyway if I do get on to the team then I will have to update my blog more and if I dont well at least I tryed and we all have to start somewhere.

A layout

been busy this weekend created two layouts the first was for a sketch challenge over at scrapbook outlet
and the second one I have not taken a photo of yet but it was a layout done just for fun.
On friday we went to raglin to pick Hannah up. I decided last minute and spare of the moment that I would try and get a relever and go to raglin with the family this was very tiring as a trip there and back took eight hours and then there was the shopping and catching up with family the whole trip took twelve hours. Had much needed rain all weekend witch meant deliveries had to be done in the rain but I did get a chance to spend about an hour in the garden so all good.

- Went to races on sunday, walked out with about twenty dollars more than I started so all good.
- Had some really hot draining days but have made an effort to walk to work three days this week.

i,ve been busy

While on holiday last week I got to do lots of scrapping layouts that I can now share with you.
This was a sketch challenge. photo was taken at Cornwall park which was a favourite hang out when the children were younger.Enjoyed laceing the frame and highlighting the letters wasa a new techniquic that I tried to use.
this was a colour challenge using green and orange. Dont get to see this wee girl enough so the photos that I have are all scrapped and given to her as a birthday present. Love the colour blocks in this layout.

This was also a sketch challenge. I stamped my letters with ink and love the way the flourishes turned out.
Finally Jess turns 15 tomorrow. Where did those years go. Got her a camera for her birthday. She is very excited. Now she old enough to earn some money so I am pretty excited about that teenagers are so expensive.
