Scrap the boys design Team!!!!

I have had to keep this quiet for a few weeks now, But I can finally reveal that I am now part of the Scrap the Boys design team!!!! ............... So excited I get to play with some awesome girls who's work I admire. This is the first Design team that I have been apart (actually the first one I have ever applied to be on). I am so super excited and feel very lucky to be apart of it all for the next 6mths. Those that have never looked at the website..... It is a dedicated boys/men challenge site. Great place to showcase those very special males in our lives. Why not head over to the website and check out the challenges and give it ago at http://www.scraptheboys.blogspot.com/

Well.... Not a lot of scrappin happening here....

This month has just flown by!!! I can't believe that it is the end of the month already. I have had one of those months that I would just like to forget. Having family issues that some how become my problem (as they usually do) And then my beautiful dog Zara has been really sick. Took her into the vet 2 weeks ago as she wasn't eating, vomiting and really lethargic. Turns out that she has Cancer :( So it has been lots of visits back to the vet since and lots of tears. But I am happy to report that I took her in today to get her stitches out and she is having a good day. They tell me as long as the good days out weigh the bad ones she OK. But the bill is huge $$$$$. How far would you go for your four legged child (As I call her lol).
Took some pics of her today and thought I would share.

Look at her shaved belly from the op. She looks so shiny in this pic you wouldn't think that she was sick!!

Yes she is a Rottie, but she is the most gorgeous girl, such a sook really. I have only had her for a year but she was the dog that I had to have. She strayed into our yard not long after me moved into our new house. I think there was a reason for it because I don't think that they would have paid for her treatment. Fingers crossed that she will be with me for a while yet.

Love you Zar Zar

Stuck Sketches July 1st Challenge.

Had my first go a Stuck Sketches challenge this month. Thought that I had better link it up as the end of the month is very fast approaching.

This is what the sketch design look like

And here is my interpretation.

This LO I used bits and pieces of PP that was left in my cut off bag, Tim Holtz cogs dies and metal clock. Tattered angels mask and glimmer mist. twine, brads, cardstock, alphas and cricut.

A closer view.

TFL. Enjoy what is left of your day. Don't be scared to leave comments, I love to hear what you think.



July Scrap Jacked Challenge.

Well getting a little late on all the challenges that I wanted to complete this month. The list to do is much longer that the completed list. But as I have done all the housework (well as much as I am going to do today he he) I have the rest of the day to myself.

So this month I jacked Bec. If you want to have a look at the challenge and give it ago before the end of the month head over to Scrap Jacked

OK so I scrapped (finally) some pics from My best friends wedding ( it was only in March slack I know). They really do make such a great couple. I did feel very privileged to be involved. But was glad when it was all over, I made her Invites, name cards, menu, and seating board. And not to mention the Hens night bits and pieces, it was full on for a few months. But I really did enjoy the whole experience....... And now for the Baby shower????

Well here it is:

And a closer look at the embellishment cluster at the bottom

This LO is used Lace Ribbon, Tim Holtz Tattered florals die. Varies PP still using my scraps up. Bling. Title cut using Cricut and of course ink. I'm pretty happy with how it all came together.

Thanks for looking, Please leave me some feedback love to know that some like minded people are looking at my stuff and what you all think.

Handmade fun

Well I haven't been feeling the best this last week and Hubby is away in Sydney at his meeting, so I'm feeling bad and his not home, a little lonely :( , and today would have been a great day the house to myself..... ahhh piece and quite. But I haven't been able to create and the day has seemed to drag on and on.
But I did cut out a heap of chipboard Tim Holtz shapes and stuff. I am trying to organise a once a month class/ workshop in Queenstown and thought that they would be good for some of the crafters to be able to purchase very cheap without having to purchase the dies. I have altered some but anyway blah blah see what happens...

But I did make in my opinion these great little... Shabby flowers (well that's what I'm calling them). Made from Tim Holtz tattered florals and a croqueted flower made by me. All made with fabric. Check them out!!!

And a closer look

Well hopefully will be feeling better soon, I have a friend that I haven't caught up with for months coming on Saturday to scrap with me. hopefully I will get some more of the challenges on my list completed.

Enjoy your night, Thanks for looking.

Lovely Scrappy Day.

I have just got back home from my one day a month get together with the talented ladies at Be Inspired. This month Tania created a yummy boys page with Tim Holtz cogs and gears (I am loving everything Tim Holtz ATM. Featured on the Page is My Hubby and our Boxer Arlie.      

                    

Looking forward to next month I will hopefully have some company to take with ME next month. Had a lovely time spread out on my own table, the girls say they will put a reserved sign on it for me next month. I am not use to scrapping with other people as I generally scrap by myself. I really love going to this group once a month, just to get out, get some ideas and not be interrupted like you do at home with children.
