After lacking motivation for weeks, I finally found some and have joined in with the D-Lish Scraps 5th Birthday Cybercrop. Better late than never I guess :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was for Challenge 1 by Tarrah - A Scraplift.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've used Tarrah's page as a sketch and kept to the original LO pretty exact. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>"EVERYDAY"</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've used one of my favourite collections "He Said" by Teresa Collins - an oldie but a goodie !! Plenty of Dazzlerz, Texturez, gesso, gelatos, mist and stamps on the background. I love this photo of the boys, taken a few years ago now. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And some close ups</div>

Hi everyone. This is my last month on the DT over at Scrap the Boys. I've had a great time on the team but all good things must come to an end.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The challenge this month was to use a BIG photo on your LO. Here I've used a 5"x7" - something I very rarely do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>"TIME FLIES"</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ALdu3EEDPmw/U41SMShlkhI/AAAAAAAABUw/RyL6Onl4EqY/s1600/IMG_1965.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ALdu3EEDPmw/U41SMShlkhI/AAAAAAAABUw/RyL6Onl4EqY/s1600/IMG_1965.jpg" height="632" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've stamped and gessoed the background, as well as using shimmerz texturz paste. Lots of masking as well, and of course gelatos and mists. Photo is my youngest son, who is now in grade 2 and almost 8 years old. Where does the time go.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some close ups</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've used texturez paste on the chipboard and used my heat gun to create the bubble efffect.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lots of doodling, and Flutterby Designs goodness.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have kept this LO very simple, with the focus being mainly on the photo. Creating my background using ripped washi, with stamping and gelatos.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've also created a PL spread. I had planned on being very organised this year but unfortunately this is the first spread I've managed !! I've decided to do monthly instead of weekly. These pages capture the great night we had at my BFF's 40th earlier this year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Love, love the mixed media cards. I've tried to use everything Flutterby on these pages, and almost managed to do it :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've used wooden titles, wooden bits, mixed media cards, photo tabs, photo cut outs, wooden frames, 3x4 photo cut outs. you name it, it's on here !!</div>

I can't tell you how excited I was when Anita asked me to be GDT over at <a href="http://flutterbydesigns.bigcartel.com/"><b>Flutterby Designs</b></a> this month. I love, love, love all of her products and use them on EVERY LO I create. Gorgeous flairs, wooden veneers, titles, mixed media cards - you name it and Anita has it !!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really love how my first LO turned out. The colors in the <a href="http://flutterbydesigns.bigcartel.com/product/everyday-etc-cards-mixed-media-set">mixed media cards</a> worked perfectly with the colors in the photo. Who says you have to use these cards in pocket scrapping??</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've gessoed the background and then sprayed Heidi Swapp Color Shine. Layers have then been created using stamps and stencils, with lots of gelatos.</div>

I didn't think the <a href="http://flutterbydesigns.bigcartel.com/product/wood-bits-wood-veneers-2">wooden title</a> needed anything done to it. Love how it stands out against the photo and makes a statement on this page. The gorgeous<a href="http://flutterbydesigns.bigcartel.com/product/1-flair-buttons-18"> mixed media flair</a> is a must have !!</div>

Flair buttons and wood pieces are a fab finishing touch on every LO. </div>

How fabulous are the mixed media cards? I will definately be adding them to my stash !! And I love how easy it is to create layers and dimension just by adding a couple of <a href="http://flutterbydesigns.bigcartel.com/category/6x4-photo-cut-outs">photo cut outs</a></div>

Where did that month go?? I haven't been here for 3 weeks !!! Life is crazy busy right now, but who's isn't?? Anyway, I have managed to scrap a couple of LOs lately. The first one is for the May challenge over at Scrap the Boys. Right up my alley was this challenge :)</div>

I love grunge !! The messier, the better. I've used mists, masking, texture paste, washi, stencils, stamps and rub ons to create the background. </div>

Hope everyone is well. I have another quick share with you today. Before I do, I'd like to know if anyone still thinks blogging is worthwhile? Does anyone actually visit here and read this?? With so many other social media outlets, is blogging necessary?? Would really love to know if anyone does stop by and read my blog, so if you do, please leave a comment so I know I'm not just talking to myself </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hope to scrap again tomorrow. Perfect weather with the rain outside :)</div>

A new month, and new challenges. Last month just didn't work for me scrappy wise !! Nothing done, but that happens. Fingers crossed this is a better month.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If anyone is interested, I have created a new Facebook page that is just for my scrapping work. I decided to seperate my hobby from my real life and just keep what I do in life to my "real life" friends. All my scrappy peeps are more than welcome to visit my new page, and I hope you do :</div>

The first LO is for the current <b><a href="http://scraptheboys.blogspot.com/">Scrap the Boys</a></b> challenge. It was rather challenging for me, I must say !! </div>

Tried to stick to my "grungy" style with this one. It took me forever to do, but I'm quite happy with the end result. Plenty of mists, texture pastes, gelatos, water, stamps and color. Must say, I had to dig around my stash to find flowers !!!</div>

Hi everyone. Hope you're having a great day. Love having the kids back as school, as in between housework I'm actually getting some challenges done !! This one is for the <a href="http://sketchabilities.blogspot.com.au/">Sketchabilities</a> # 108 challenge. Unfortunately I missed the cut off by about 5 minutes :(</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's the sketch</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WhoEcuqGdM4/Uvw4Fzha9QI/AAAAAAAABOs/xKJYgkzcbww/s1600/%23108-Sketchabilities.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WhoEcuqGdM4/Uvw4Fzha9QI/AAAAAAAABOs/xKJYgkzcbww/s1600/%23108-Sketchabilities.png" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And here's my LO. It was a great sketch to work with. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NWFjKnUDARU/Uvw4thIyVwI/AAAAAAAABO4/MRaakxQwot4/s1600/IMG_0984.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NWFjKnUDARU/Uvw4thIyVwI/AAAAAAAABO4/MRaakxQwot4/s1600/IMG_0984.jpg" height="640" width="636" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've tried to stay true to my scrap style with this LO. With so many tutorials on mixed media, I was getting a little overwhelmed with it all (and what I was doing wasn't "right"). However, I really like how this one turned out :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lots of gelatos, mists, stamping and gesso, and lots of color :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a few close up pics of the background</div>

Hi everyone. A quick share today. I decided to play along for the first time at <a href="http://scraparoundtheworld.blogspot.com.au/">Scrap Around the World</a> this month.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is February's mood board</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-y8hdUSgpywI/UvrbW8S2rtI/AAAAAAAABOE/BQq-cXMlFGQ/s1600/Christin+february+moodboard.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-y8hdUSgpywI/UvrbW8S2rtI/AAAAAAAABOE/BQq-cXMlFGQ/s1600/Christin+february+moodboard.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And here is my layout</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bWzkBafTTZE/UvrbmKyGJAI/AAAAAAAABOM/8Xh078EKqRU/s1600/IMG_0975.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bWzkBafTTZE/UvrbmKyGJAI/AAAAAAAABOM/8Xh078EKqRU/s1600/IMG_0975.jpg" height="640" width="628" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really loved the pink on this board, and have taken inspiration from the colors (the different pinks on my background, and the gold triangles stood out. So I just had to add some glam to my LO. I don't scrap pink very often, so it was a great board to push me out of my comfort zone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A couple of close ups</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lots of gelatos, stamps, gesso and modelling paste on my background</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm feeling very "blah" about my scrapping of late. Hopefully it will pass soon :) Think I need to stop being so harsh on myself and just go with what I like to do. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, back to the desk to finish off a few more DT creations, and hope to get started on my 2014 Project Life book soon too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for stopping by</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy scrapping</div>

February challenges already !! I'm hoping to join in a few this month....but we will see.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My first LO is for the February challenge at <b><a href="http://scraptheboys.blogspot.com/" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">SCRAP THE BOYS.</span></a></b> The challenge this month was to scrap about "someone important" in your boys lives. My boys are just as important in my husband's life as vice versa. Loved this photo and thought it suited the challenge perfectly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>"MATES"</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--94ahQ1Iy_U/Uux_RxPdACI/AAAAAAAABM8/Izb0WOy18C8/s1600/IMG_0955.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--94ahQ1Iy_U/Uux_RxPdACI/AAAAAAAABM8/Izb0WOy18C8/s1600/IMG_0955.jpg" height="636" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've used watercolors, gelatos and mists to create the background effect. I've then used washi and strips of paper, and covered with gesso to create a distressed look. A bit of stamping with paint, stencilling and some texture paste, and it's complete :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And a close up</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Make sure you head over to the blog to see what the other AMAZING DT ladies have done. It will blow your socks off !!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next challenge is for the February Once Upon A Sketch challenge. I haven't joined in before as there are soooo many talented ladies that play along, but I decided to give it a go this month. The challenge was to use this sketch</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cKabQS6XRlE/UuyAcjOo0ZI/AAAAAAAABNQ/Q0bDlc8-w7s/s1600/February+2014.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cKabQS6XRlE/UuyAcjOo0ZI/AAAAAAAABNQ/Q0bDlc8-w7s/s1600/February+2014.JPG" height="640" width="606" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
together with the theme "Addicted To"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My boys are Football addicts !! When the AFL starts I cannot get a ball out of their hands, and it drives me insane. Every waking moment they can, they have this football in their hands and kicking, tackling, jumping on each other and arguing who has kicked the highest score !!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's my LO</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This LO was inspired by the extremely talented ladies from Pops and Colors 2. I have loved watching all the great tutorials and learning a few more tricks :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The background began red, but after watering down the mists, paints and gelatos, it now looks pink. I love, love my new Prima stamps. Again, I've used texturez pastes, rub ons and stamps to help create my background</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's been quite awhile since I was here !! Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year and are back into the swing of things. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have done a small bit of scrapping lately so thought I would share with you </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This first one is for the <a href="http://www.scrapbooksavvy.com.au/blog/"><b>Scrapbook Savvy CC</b></a> that is happening NOW on the blog. My challenge was to use the word <b>SUMMER</b> on your LO. Very easy one for the first CC of the year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-r7hsKvZODnE/UuL2HOlngBI/AAAAAAAABL8/8kRy7CWS7co/s1600/IMG_0952.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-r7hsKvZODnE/UuL2HOlngBI/AAAAAAAABL8/8kRy7CWS7co/s1600/IMG_0952.jpg" height="640" width="634" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My second LO was my first DT reveal over at <a href="http://scraptheboys.blogspot.com.au/"><b>Scrap the Boys</b></a> for the January challenge - which was to scrap about something <b>NEW</b>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-etn_D9lwdc0/UuL2Sg-x7jI/AAAAAAAABME/TuZqUJpSljU/s1600/IMG_0762.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-etn_D9lwdc0/UuL2Sg-x7jI/AAAAAAAABME/TuZqUJpSljU/s1600/IMG_0762.jpg" height="640" width="634" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's still time to join in and win some great prizes, and soooo much inspiration from the DT. I'm still pinching myself that I made the team !!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next up is my take on the January Sketch challenge at Scrapbook Savvy. It was my turn to create the sketch, and here it is:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And here's my take on it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've also been busy with Project Life. I know PL doesn't appeal to all, but I really am loving it. Here's a couple of pages from my 2013 album. Still trying to finish off so I can start 2014.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Well that's it. Would really love to know if anyone still reads blogs??? Is it worthwhile continuing to blog?? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you have a great weekend. I'm hoping to get some scrapping done in between going to the beach and doing housework.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Happy scrapping</div>

We are well and truly into the "silly season" and I am really finding NO time to sit at my desk and scrap. In between work, kids activities, getting ready to go away there just isn't alot of time. Anyway, I have managed a LO for the Scrapbook Savvy December Sketch. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Something different for me - NO white background. Very rarely will you see this :) The photo is a cheeky, fun type of pic of my son and his friends so I wanted to keep the LO bright and colorful. Think I managed that :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>"CRAZY BOYS"</b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Loved using the gelatos on my LO to add a pop of color. Lots of goodness from Flutterby Designs on this one too. I even added some glitter to the title - something I could get used to :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used gesso on the background, as well as mists, shimmerz and lots of doodling. A close up of the masking, and gelatos</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Evening, a quick share today with a couple of LOs I have recently created. Not sure about anyone else, but I'm finding less and less time to scrap with the silly season now upon us. The first LO is for the current Scrapbook Savvy CC that is happening until this Thursday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My challenge was to use the phrase "BEST DAY EVER" on your creation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u2x85edV52I/UpxJIoxaIsI/AAAAAAAABK4/qNmJZZmHOlY/s1600/IMG_0754.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="634" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u2x85edV52I/UpxJIoxaIsI/AAAAAAAABK4/qNmJZZmHOlY/s640/IMG_0754.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span id="goog_793244112"></span><span id="goog_793244113"></span><br />
I've used watercolors, mists, lots of doodling and stamping, plus plenty of rubons. As well as some shimmerz dazzlerz and dimensionz and the awesome cut out from Flutterby Designs.<br />
<br />
Photo is of my son Bailey on the day he had his braces taken off last month. To him, it was the Best Day Ever!!!<br />
<br />
My next LO is for the November sketch at Purple Pumpkin. This is my last month on the DT and I've enjoyed my time there :) Hope you can join in the fun this month<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-40nW-N8bRD0/UpxJ_tJTaMI/AAAAAAAABLA/oM0p0ULSn-U/s1600/IMG_0757.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="638" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-40nW-N8bRD0/UpxJ_tJTaMI/AAAAAAAABLA/oM0p0ULSn-U/s640/IMG_0757.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I recently went to a Gatsby themed party and I thought the red PP embellies would go fabulously with the red in the photo. Again, masking, doodling and stamping on the background - and rub ons. I love them !!<br />
<br />
That's it tonight. Hope you find some time in this busy crazy month to get some crafty projects done.<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by.<br />
Happy scrapping<br />

Back again to share another PL page I've done with the November Savvy PL kit. So many goodies in this kit, I've loved using it and still have more leftovers for another page, or even a LO :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think I'm getting better at this style of scrapping :) And I think I enjoy it more than "traditional" scrapping. So many possibilites, and I'm really enjoying making this album now, even though I am sooooooooo far behind !! Gets me motivated for 2014 anyway :)</div>

A quick pop by today to post a few things I've been working on lately</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first is my next project over at Shimmerz</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gAGUM76LKO8/Uov5vhQnmDI/AAAAAAAABI8/jTK4ybaIz6U/s1600/IMG_0739.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="638" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gAGUM76LKO8/Uov5vhQnmDI/AAAAAAAABI8/jTK4ybaIz6U/s640/IMG_0739.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Picture of Aidan after riding his new bike for the first time. Bit too fast around the corner and this is what happens :( Lots of texturez and dazzlerz on this LO</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And some close ups</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fNgiAcFvPls/Uov6kmEAbtI/AAAAAAAABJo/xEECPtmWWAI/s1600/20131112_211910.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fNgiAcFvPls/Uov6kmEAbtI/AAAAAAAABJo/xEECPtmWWAI/s640/20131112_211910.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-myQsLskbT3w/Uov6GkiGPII/AAAAAAAABJM/sWMgroUMxvQ/s1600/IMG_0736.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="410" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-myQsLskbT3w/Uov6GkiGPII/AAAAAAAABJM/sWMgroUMxvQ/s640/IMG_0736.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next LO is for the November Sketch at Scrapbook Savvy. This picture was taken on a lazy beautiful sunny day while we were camping in Bright recently</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Zs99xmjNHlw/Uov6FOFGkKI/AAAAAAAABJE/A3IYHYn8gN0/s1600/IMG_0740.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Zs99xmjNHlw/Uov6FOFGkKI/AAAAAAAABJE/A3IYHYn8gN0/s640/IMG_0740.jpg" width="622" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And finally I've been working on my PL album again. I'm really starting to love scrapping PL style. So many photos can be scrapped, and it doesn't take me 3 days to finish one LO !! These pages are using the November Savvy PL Kit (couple left I think). Very excited as this is another kit designed by me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello world !! It seems like forever since I have been here, but I'm sure nobody missed me anyway. I have some exciting news and that is I'm the GDT at <a href="http://shimmerzpaints.blogspot.com.au/">Shimmerz Paints</a> this month !! Who would have thought that I would score a gig like that?? Not me, ever. But here I am to show you my first creation I have done.</div>

I have scrapped this photo before, but loved it so much I decided to do it again :) Again I've used lots of watercolors, masks and texture pastes. Lots of shimmerz goodness - Dazzlerz and Texturez, as well as some Purple Pumpkin goodies and the gorgeous little tags from Flutterby Designs.</div>

It seems like awhile since I posted on here. Not much scrapping lately unfortunately. Anyway, I'm here with a quick share today with you. This LO was created for the Scrapbook Savvy CC that is currently underway. My challenge was the sketch this month.</div>

On here I've used the "Family Stories" collection kit by Teresa Collins, along with some Purple Pumpkin flowers and flair and some D-Lish resin flowers, as well as lots of gelatos and shimmerz texturz.<br />
<br />
<br />

I've created this LO for the Scrapbook Savvy October sketch, and have used lots of lovely Purple Pumpkin buttons along with the "We're Savvy" kit. I wasn't too sure about it, being a black background but I think I was happy with it in the end.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On here I've also used my new gelatos. Still working out what I can do with them, but loving them at the same time.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hi everyone, hope you've had a great week. It is a beautiful sunny day in Melbourne today (finally!!). Today I'm showing you my latest DT work for Scrapbook Savvy using the NEW "Project Savvy" Kit - designed by me :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you haven't tried Project Life, this kit is a great introduction and includes 5 pocket pages to get you started. Plenty of knick knacks to help along the way as well, and lots of gorgeous cards and papers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My first creation is for my "cover" page of PL. Very "pink" (I don't do pink) but the colors of the kit were calling for something bold and bright. I've used my new gelatos on this, as well shimmerz texturz. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
With the release of the new kits, we had a mini challenge at Savvy this weekend. My challenge was based on Project Life and needed to include layering and journalling - this could be on the photo, hidden, journal cards etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my example using the kit - yes, I know I'm running behind !!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Not everyone scraps PL, so there was an option to create a LO using the criteria. On this LO I've used PL cards to layer, as well as book paper, gesso. stamps and shimmerz. My journalling is hidden</div>

Everyone loves a good "selfie" right?? This LO of my eldest son was created for the latest sketch at Purple Pumpkin, which you will all the details <a href="http://purplepumpkincrafts.blogspot.com.au/2013/10/october-sketch-challenge-and.html">HERE</a>. I love this app on my phone that includes the postcard shot as well.</div>

Not much on this LO to be honest. Wanted to keep it simple, and it took me 30 minutes to create. Record for me !! I've used Dylusions mists and Shimmerz Texturz on here. Some washi and few embellies from Purple Pumpkin (Hessian flower, script flair and spotty button).</div>

Just a quick visit today as I'm currently camping and don't have much access to post to the internet.</div>

This weekend is the Savvy CC, and my challenge was to use this quote on your creation</div>

Loving the Well Rounded template and Shimmerz on here. Lots of "old" stash used for the alpha lettering. Nice to use up some of that rather large stash every now and again !!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've managed to scrap a couple of challenges this month and thought I would join in the fun at Scrap the Boys. Easy challenge - scrap an outdoor activity.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's my take:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>

We had a great day out and about a couple of weeks ago with the boys and their football. On this LO there's plenty of paint, stamps, ink, mist and Shimmerz. (my new fave texture paste). I will have a step by step on the <a href="http://www.scrapbooksavvy.com.au/blog/">Savvy Blog</a> later this week for anyone interested.</div>

<br /></div>

Here's another LO I did, using the same Carta Bella Range "Rough & Tumble". It was a hard choice deciding which LO to use in the Scrap the Boys challenge :)</div>
