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. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLz9Bj2FNeqrbuYaPRkxevWTzQQckx3NlBqIYHy2gYobKDfVAigWRsvxT6496j71ZrOe8gJsUuVfurkezwlsGCdGIesYy18B25CvSN3bw3ActDgT0Dj_kdFihyVapLTvci0KIpP8rdepM/s1600/P1020874.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLz9Bj2FNeqrbuYaPRkxevWTzQQckx3NlBqIYHy2gYobKDfVAigWRsvxT6496j71ZrOe8gJsUuVfurkezwlsGCdGIesYy18B25CvSN3bw3ActDgT0Dj_kdFihyVapLTvci0KIpP8rdepM/s320/P1020874.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609257627777879490" /></a>Kirstyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11419445731138031165noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6535613350532867182.post-40509973493356398882011-05-14T13:52:00.000-07:002011-05-14T14:09:38.223-07:00sketch challengeAt 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<br />I thought I have nothing to lose by trying out so this is the sketch that I worked on <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKCcN-iBZhguCR-cNd7RdCFDz0mYbqiNm1MWWPmWOPc5y-b2XqjFbMltJOhYXpqmUn0NtrIaCJQCbG-aC8ZyKpVMqb_2nimM5uF5Ri_nWQFDBvGhDzdkHd-2GoYeELDRT4R9RXorgq4sY/s1600/sketch-_82.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 303px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKCcN-iBZhguCR-cNd7RdCFDz0mYbqiNm1MWWPmWOPc5y-b2XqjFbMltJOhYXpqmUn0NtrIaCJQCbG-aC8ZyKpVMqb_2nimM5uF5Ri_nWQFDBvGhDzdkHd-2GoYeELDRT4R9RXorgq4sY/s320/sketch-_82.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606679032587503810" /></a><br />and this is my take on it <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbvIS1zPX9gKYbjT9L-xqKNlRu-CtsP1M0gGwwaa0Xhuo5Fro0Yftf8iyOJGEeWgDuJqgnRGHxIhsF676ThiO4CA_VYX8W7lHXsthJmh3xlk0S7nyVsEVHyY7zsLmBqqVdbLLaDD0eqSg/s1600/P1020870.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbvIS1zPX9gKYbjT9L-xqKNlRu-CtsP1M0gGwwaa0Xhuo5Fro0Yftf8iyOJGEeWgDuJqgnRGHxIhsF676ThiO4CA_VYX8W7lHXsthJmh3xlk0S7nyVsEVHyY7zsLmBqqVdbLLaDD0eqSg/s320/P1020870.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606679777509675474" /></a><br />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.Kirstyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11419445731138031165noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6535613350532867182.post-22147613544919016782011-01-24T09:40:00.000-08:002011-01-24T09:49:49.247-08:00A layoutbeen busy this weekend created two layouts the first was for a sketch challenge over at scrapbook outlet <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9PSbJQLT1ujHb8ciTeqbVaCN8QbbHCaKdasOAORjreMlxBpfuYQUa7b_XX52c63CrzBXb_vX6yZPt4_EnGant9X_uVBauiM6x-IGROxujNo9uHWiNbCCc2DoiK25B95P0l-qmJLfcE3A/s1600/peter+and+royce.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9PSbJQLT1ujHb8ciTeqbVaCN8QbbHCaKdasOAORjreMlxBpfuYQUa7b_XX52c63CrzBXb_vX6yZPt4_EnGant9X_uVBauiM6x-IGROxujNo9uHWiNbCCc2DoiK25B95P0l-qmJLfcE3A/s320/peter+and+royce.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565809434346269970" /></a><br />and the second one I have not taken a photo of yet but it was a layout done just for fun. <br />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.Kirstyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11419445731138031165noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6535613350532867182.post-39231514075698789532011-01-20T10:06:00.000-08:002011-01-20T10:15:00.019-08:00no excusesthis week <br />- We have had a full week back at work under staffed and bigger roles than what was thought so it has been a busy week.<br />- Hannah spent the week in Hamilton. Thanks to Bill and Sue <br />- Missy had five kittens but one died. They are very cute <br />- Went to races on sunday, walked out with about twenty dollars more than I started so all good. <br />- Had some really hot draining days but have made an effort to walk to work three days this week. <br />- No scrapping or anything too creative. Was on my list of things to do but never got round to it will definantly try in the weekend.Kirstyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11419445731138031165noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6535613350532867182.post-48247096354318432212010-10-02T12:25:00.000-07:002010-10-02T12:43:42.291-07:00i,ve been busyWhile on holiday last week I got to do lots of scrapping layouts that I can now share with you. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy93-hVYhkLUNBsiH-MkkL3gpYgFhFe_SGeBKO-lZAWNVIrDMP_Lg1TwRUNFuqVn-HeKKirUs0j70d4qeqNxNHYXgidDxsZwPNS9Ujp8rii9-0Tkz9VDPZq_pqdSseZEO4fZYUTXNnj8k/s1600/be+proud.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 292px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy93-hVYhkLUNBsiH-MkkL3gpYgFhFe_SGeBKO-lZAWNVIrDMP_Lg1TwRUNFuqVn-HeKKirUs0j70d4qeqNxNHYXgidDxsZwPNS9Ujp8rii9-0Tkz9VDPZq_pqdSseZEO4fZYUTXNnj8k/s320/be+proud.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523532656120959330" /></a><br />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. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAiPhTS3xyQt0MY7etjIewdCyPYtYRvS1m4j1_v6yNqWtpABPwekXvtqK39iOMH6dQfN_or1ZmBCdbH6mUpQIdgHeuGt0Ed-_jSJV3DeOXfuaF1Qnbj7lTKQJzG95fLs508pLZhZx1jy8/s1600/sophia.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 244px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAiPhTS3xyQt0MY7etjIewdCyPYtYRvS1m4j1_v6yNqWtpABPwekXvtqK39iOMH6dQfN_or1ZmBCdbH6mUpQIdgHeuGt0Ed-_jSJV3DeOXfuaF1Qnbj7lTKQJzG95fLs508pLZhZx1jy8/s320/sophia.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523533738877667602" /></a><br />this was a colour challenge using green and orange.

So I got an oven for my birthday which I suppose is better than the concrete I got for last christmas. School holidays have rolled around again they seem to creep up fast we were over the teenage attitude by saturday so wish me luck and I hope I survive.

Two late nights babysitting and daily demands of children and work. I did some more creating this week end my next challenge card was a paisley one. This is not my normal stlye but it is all about taking me out of my comfort zone and learning new technequics. My background was cuttle bug and then I tried embossing the stamped image but was not happy with the final results so ended up layering with stamped images I must google some embossing tips. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-MsuwCkneAwiE3Ua8D_Uh9WpPXukXhNY5Whkug3JTMGatbqC3Fsxxq_EGCTJs8GIqxgdPjI5In-X0irvoEK7ybzsAj4MP0mtUXpG2WQSJn0piNNseA1tFqWK0BUOcIlYKEJYOifgbAvI/s1600/paisley+card.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-MsuwCkneAwiE3Ua8D_Uh9WpPXukXhNY5Whkug3JTMGatbqC3Fsxxq_EGCTJs8GIqxgdPjI5In-X0irvoEK7ybzsAj4MP0mtUXpG2WQSJn0piNNseA1tFqWK0BUOcIlYKEJYOifgbAvI/s320/paisley+card.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476893245275355106" /></a><br />I also created this scrap layout of an older photo. this layout may look pretty basic but I worked on it for ages changing my papers and fiddling around with tricky bits. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguFNEExXySAG1OnXi9J8qkzGIitqa59a4jtuEqNKs4K7Dno328mzwyletb45RSy84R4Ys_NxSmp17y4qJidXBxI1xuqlq0_Z7Pzx5JidMPc4EgBxXGOwcRqPguYWGN0e1KBYdXZaHexck/s1600/pixie+dust.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguFNEExXySAG1OnXi9J8qkzGIitqa59a4jtuEqNKs4K7Dno328mzwyletb45RSy84R4Ys_NxSmp17y4qJidXBxI1xuqlq0_Z7Pzx5JidMPc4EgBxXGOwcRqPguYWGN0e1KBYdXZaHexck/s320/pixie+dust.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476893999162713858" /></a><br />Sent my daughter (14) to her first concert last night.

But you remeber the teenages I memtioned earlier they may have other ideas but here goes anyway. this weekend I have spent creating I made this card which took me a while to glue on the individual squares although I was lucky enough to find a whole punch to do the squares or I would have had to cut them individually and they wouldn't have looked right. Pretty cute card I think. The layout I completed this weekend was this one. I had lots of fun doing this layout using things like the cuttle bug and a boarder punch. Loving the colour combinations at the moment. Apart from that the weekend has mostly been watching netball, saw lovely bones, went to the home and garden show and relaxing. thats all for now will catch you next weekend or thats the plan anyway.Kirstyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11419445731138031165noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6535613350532867182.post-5923927090226202602010-05-16T12:03:00.000-07:002010-05-16T12:07:40.849-07:00I'M BACKOh my I didn't realise that this page was here, must have been created along time ago and I have just stumbled across it, thought it had disappeared into the land of the unknown.

I know the blogging world is not new but I refuse to be left behind so I am going to give it a go. <br />I am a mum to two girls, an educater to a group of preschoolers, a scrapbooker and a cardmaker. Because my girls are teenagers and know alot more about technology than me I refuse to be (more)confused by what they do. So here goes my very first blog hopefully many more to come. <br />KirstyKirstyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11419445731138031165noreply@blogger.com0
