Another successful workshop!!

Another workshop complete in Queenstown this weekend. It did take a little longer to finish lol, only 5 hours. Took longer than I thought for the ink and paint to dry, but hey it is Queenie where it wasn't the warmest. Loved showing the girls how to make more of their own embellishments. Utilising what tools they already have and the over looked fabric!!

This is pics of my beautiful niece playing at the park on a rare nice day in winter on the West Coast

 Loving this paper it is Echo Park Summer range. Yummy!!

 We made both the flowers seen above, little scrunch flowers and the bottle top. I do love making my own little bits to go onto the pages.

 And this page is of my other little niece, with my Son pushing her on the swing. She keeps saying push me higher!! Had to use the left over papers and some of the coordinating stickers.

TFL and please leave a comment and let me know that you have been to visit!

Scrap the Boys July challenge

This month at STB the challenge was to scrap School pics, I decided to scrap one of the portrait pic that my little fella had taken this year, I can't believe that I have never scrapped one of his school pics before... Happy with how it turned out and much better to use some of the pics than keeping the all together in the pack never to be seen again!

Well here is is.....

And a little close up...

Well just a quick post today, had better go and feed the animals and get ready for work. Happy Friday 13th, don't walk under any ladders or cross that black cats path (pretty had for me with an all black cat lol)

TFL Peeps back soon

This weekend workshop

Here is a page that I created for workshop held in Queenstown, a great boy page using Bo Bunny Papers.

This pic is of my Little Fella obviously on his 4th birthday.

All embellishments were handmade for the page.

And then I had to do another page just for me to use up the scrap pieces left over.

Close up.

Here is a another page that was recently completed that I forgot to upload.

Another quick one that I did last week that really made me think about why I do this craft. This is a pic of my little fella when he was younger and use to pretend that he was an egg. He use to yell out to us when he was all tucked up in a ball saying "Crack Me" you would then have to tickle him until he couldn't stay rolled up in a ball and that is when the egg cracked lol. It's these memories that would get forgotten if not for scrapbooking and in this case one that I will now always remember along with the rest of the family present and in the future. xxx

Thanks for looking and please don't be shy and leave me some feedback, maybe let me know why you scrap and then I can come visit your blog!!

June Challenge at Kraft It Up- Meet the Penguins

Last post today..... What a productive day I have had even though I am struggling with dog disease (head cold) but I had it in my head all week that this weekend I was gonna take some time for just me a doing some scrapping, and this cold was not going to stop me. I would love to keep going but I think I need to rest.... but I still have two day left before back to work!!!

So here is my LO for Kraft It Up this month. The challenge requirements are... Of course you have to use kraft card stock or PP, 3 photos, 3 different alpha's, 3 word title and masked background. Now I am sure that I have ticked all the above boxes.

This one is a bit different, I have masked the background with the brick template and then weaved some scrap paper from my other LO that I had on my desk. The verdict is still out on how it all comes together?? What do you think?

TFL hope you are all getting your scrap on somehow

Scrap the Girl June entry

Well I have been AWOL for a little bit, When still doing Reno's and My little hobby farm taking up majority of my time, my desk has felt quite abandoned. Well to change that this weekend I have a list of challenge that I would love to get done!! and what better challenge to start with than this months challenge at Scrap the Girls It's a easy challenge this month only requirement is use pic taken outside.

Well here it is....

And the close up..... The title comes from a little card that my Sister gave me years ago that is stuck on my wall in my scrap room. The title fit perfect with the pic. This is us together at my wedding of course (think the veil gave it away lol) I am very proud to have my Sister apart of such a special day. Who would have thought that we would be so close when as kids we really didn't like each other at all.



TFL to those that do....Back to the desk I go!!
