Here is my layout that I did for the new Challenge Site http://scrapthatsong.blogspot.com/ I choose to use the Song Shine and did a layout of my beautiful GD. I dont think I am saying it because Amelia is my Grandaughter but she is just one of those people that has something about them and shines. She has a lovely nature and her smile can light up a room. She can also be very dramatic and a real drama Queen, so when she is being a pain, she really is a pain lol, but she is on the whole a real joy

Lyrics from the song "Shine"
Old Lace flower from my Mums Wardrobe, Ballerina Charm from http://www.craftqueen.com.au/
So that is me for today, I have had the day off work and quite pleased with myself that I made some time in the middle of the day to scrap , instead of midnight when I usually have my creative inspirations. Now maybe to do another layout or clean out the scrapping cupboard hmmmmmm
Cheers

Hello , I have been a bit slack with blog land lately, but I have some scrapping to share :)
This first layout is of my brother on his First Communion Day with our Beautiful Grandmother Emma Jane ( we called her Mum Coyte). She was a wonderful lady and was always happy and had a lolly jar on top of her fridge. We used to call at Mum Coytes every Sunday Morning on the way home from mass and cook toast on the fork in the fire. She raised 9 children in her little cottage called Fairview.
The Flowers I used on this layout I found whils cleaning out my Mums Wardrobe last week, so I wanted to use them on something special , I also found the photo out there. So scrapping this page was theraputic for me I think.
The next layout was for a Build the Page over at http://homeandscrapped.ning.com/ I really enjoyed doing this and was so happy with the results. Once again I found the pic out at my Mums
and for some closies
So pop over and check out Craftqueens awsomeness, Nicole has the most gorgeous products.
So you can see I have not been idle, although I would scrap 24/7 I think if I could. Had a lovely scrappy afternoon with Miss Annette http://annetteedmonds.blogspot.com/ and Miss Kim http://lifeisabalancingactx8.blogspot.com/ they are a gorgeous pair of girls, even though Miss Annette sucks big time :) just kidding! We get together every couple of weeks and eat delicious food and get creative :)
Please let me know you called by

Hello :) On the weekend I decided to do a challenge over at http://birdisthewordchallenge.blogspot.com/ The new word is HOPE and I have had this verse in my quote book for ages and thought it was perfect for the layout, however I noticed Nadia has used the same verse, so I hope you dont mind Nadia.
I think the verse is something we all wish for those we love. So here is my layout for the word Hope.
and some close ups
Bronze travel coin and eiffel tower from My2Angels. The Eiffel Tower was silver, so I painted it with Glimmer Glaze, heart pin from My2Angels also. Denim Button from http://soupie75.blogspot.com/p/lovelybug-bits-n-bobs.html

The new Challenge is up over at http://onceuponasketchblog.blogspot.com/, why not pop over and be treated to some super fabulous talent and have a go at the Sketch yourself..... and here is the sketch
And my take on the Sketch
The criteria was to say who is in the photo at least one fact about them and at least two sentences long.
This pic is on my Bestfriend Leanne and who little dog Floss ( who Leanne just loves). We have been friends for over 30 years and I love her to bits.
Thanks for popping by , hope you are keeping warm (it is FREEZING here)
Hugs

Finished this layout for a challenge over at http://www.theboxx.scrapboxx.com/ This one was set by Kylie and the challenge was to use the colours in a Pic Kylie put up for inspirtation. I didnt think I was liking it to start with, but I ended up being fairly happy with the end result. I modge Podged the serviette on and added some coulourful embellies. This is of me and my two beautiful Grandchildren on Mothers Day. I have used Cosmo Cricket PP , Cosmo Criket Alpha's, ChipChopShop Doileys and IceCream pin, LilRedRocket playing card, Orange Spotty Prima Flower, My2Angels Blue Flower, Bella flowers, Tim Holtz tape.
The colours are much more vibrant IRL
Thanks so much for popping by, hope your weekend is full of sunshine and good memories
Cheers

Well I have been very slack in updating my blog. To tell you the truth I just havent felt like it or had the energy. But time to get my butt into gear and I actually scrapped yesterday which made me feel better. I cant stand not scrapping and its been about 2 weeks!
So last night I scrapped Autumn Skies a Challenge set by the gorgeous Leanne Jargo over at http://www.theboxx.scrapboxx.com/ and check out Leannes Blog for lots of goodness http://addictedtoclouds.blogspot.com/. The Challenge was to do a Autumn layout but not using the usual Autumn Colours. I used a little artistic licence with this one ( not a Autumn leave in site!)
MME'S PP and Pink Paislee Butterfly garden Range. Scrapware Round Chippy, Scrapmatts Lamp Post Chippy. Prima Fonts. Martha Stewart Bird Punch. My2Angels Key charm.
Also I was lucky enough to do the Angela Peardon Class At the Brisbane Papercraft Expo and here is my finished Project
Im working on another layout for a Challenge over at http://www.theboxx.scrapboxx.com/ so I may even have another layout to share tomorrow!
Thanks for dropping by and please let me know you called and I will try my best to be a better blog
Cheers
