New word - TOGETHER

A new challenge is up over at Bird is the Word. All you need to do is use the word TOGETHER on your LO.

Just a little reminder about our rules....we have very few.........Create a project using the word TOGETHER in your layout or journaling. Post this layout on your blog and link it up on the BITW blog. Also, please remember to give BITW credit when you post your image.

The winnners for the SHARE challenge will be revealed next Sunday evening. Thanks to all who played along!!

There are plenty of stunning examples by the DT this fortnight as it's the first reveal for our new team members :) Make sure you go check them out.

For this LO, I have also combined the new Wicked Princesses sketch for this week. Another great sketch by Krissy, so head on over to the forum to check out all of the details.

That's it for today. A busy day of housework ahead for me, and I hope to bake and get a bit of scrapping in over the next day or so.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day

You & Me - BITW

This fortnight at BITW is to use the following on your LO

YOU & ME

I've used a photo of 2 girlfriends and I that I have known for over 30 years !!! Don't get too many friendships like that. And the good thing is, we don't need to see each other every week to be able to just pick up where we left off :) I'm looking forward to the next 30 years and many more stories to share.

Here is my LO

I've used the new Authentique range of papers, the chippie corner is from Scapmatts, a couple of MVBs and the usual paint and ink. I also used a Wicked Princess sketch as my base for this one :)

You must go and check out the stunning examples from the rest of the DT. They are such fantastic scrappers, with plenty of inspiration to be had !!!

And, you won't believe it - I've scrapped another LO and here is a sneek

Thanks for stopping by

Taken away....

As I said, scrapping has taken a back seat. I have stepped down from 2 of my committments as it was taking up too much time and I had other priorities. Scrapping isn't the be all and end all, to me anyway. I have finally sat down this week to complete the next Bird is the Word Challenge. Not my best work, but does it matter?? Does everything have to be "perfect" everytime? Does it matter what others think?? Maybe not so much now. I will scrap to enjoy it, and when I can. I will continue on my roles at BITW and WW1 as I do love these challenge blogs. I want to send a big thank you to Wendy and Mel for allowing me the time to step back that I needed. They are awesome !!!



Anyway, enough of that. The challenge at BITW is the use the word SHARE on your LO.

I haven't completed the WW1 challenge, but if you are keen to join in the challenge is to use WHITE/PINK/JOURNALLING on your photo.

I hope to visit everyone soon. Thanks for stopping by

Love Bird is the Word

THere's a new challenge at Bird is the Word and the challenge this fortnight is to use the word

LOVE

on your LO.

I have used it in a very different way this time and scrapped about how we loved going on the Simpsons Ride at Universal Studios. It was the bestest ride ever !!!! and I'm not even a huge Simpsons fan.

That's it for now. Hope you can play along. Will be back with more to share soon

Have a great day

Admire....

Just a quick stop today to let you know about the next challenge over at Bird is the Word.

The word for this fortnight is

ADMIRE

Easy peasy. Why not join in and be in the running to win a fantastic prize from Tidbitz in Time?? The DT have rocked the challenge again and there's plenty of gorgeous LO's to get your mojo flowing.

Here is what I did with the challenge

I've used the Scrapbook Savvy June sketch, and the WOIN May kit.

I've been busy baking again and here is one of the latest cakes I've made

I've also been busy making wedding biscuits and wedding cupcakes :) I have a new facebook page called Sweet Tooth Cake Creations, so feel free to come and say hi and see what else I've been doing

Only 16 more sleeps to go until we are off to the USA for a family holiday. Can't wait !!! (if I can just get over the 20 hours of flying between Melb and New York!!!) Not sure how much more scrapping I'll get done between now and then, but we will see.

OK, thanks for stopping by. I managed to visit quite a few blogs last week, but I will be trying to get to everyone again this week.

Hope you're having a good day

Amazing

Hi everyone

The new challenge for Bird is the Word is to use the word AMAZING on your LO. The DT have done another fantastic job, and are very inspiring indeed. Make sure you check out all the wonderful work.

Here is my LO

I haven't done any scrapping since the WP retreat and to be honest, I haven't missed it one little bit. I'm really not sure when I'm going to get motivated again. I have thought about blogging no more, and having time off scrapping but I'm not sure what I'll do yet. I don't have the time to blog, I haven't visited many people lately as I've been busy, there's so much going on here, and DH is in the middle of job interview process for a move to Perth. Whether that happens or not, well that's another thing. So, I'm sitting here wondering what to do???? The only thing I'm getting done atm are my CT committments, and I'd really love to have time to scrap other things iykwim.

Perhaps I will find the answer while I'm doing the kinder drop off and finishing the ironing this afternoon. Who knows??

Whatever you're doing today, have a great day. Thanks for stopping by

Live in the Moment

The challenge this fortnight at Bird is the Word is to use one of the following words on your LO

LIVE/LIFE/LIVING

I chose the word Live and I love this photo of Bailey. I hope that he stays this happy and carefree as he gets older (fingers crossed !!!)

Make sure you visit and see what the other DT girls have done. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !!!!!

I am off on retreat on Friday (yippee) !!! My question is - Can you take too much scrap stuff????? I am trying to work out what I DON'T need to take and its proving to be a hard decision. I know that Krissy has the shop and I can buy things there, but, if I have it here I really should take it, shouldn't I ?????? I'm looking forward to meeting the girls IRL, and for a weekend away from the daily grind. Bring it on !!

I will be back tomorrow with another share. Thanks for stopping by

Not much time for scrapping, but.....

There hasn't been much time for scrapping or creating this week as I'm busy organising the major function for our football club this Saturday night. It seems to be taking up all of my time lately !!

I have however scrapped for a couple of challenges. The first being for Bird is the Word. The challenge this fortnight is to use the word SUN/SUNSHINE on your LO.

I'm a bit late loading it as I have used my GDT kit from Wicked Princesses and am revealing all on Monday. But, what is a few days between friends :) Go on over to BITW and check out what the brilliant DT have done over there. So much inspiration :)

The second LO is sketch # 119 at The Scrappiest.

The sketch

For this LO I've used lots of Bo Bunny goodness.

Make sure you head on over to The Scrappiest to see what the super talented DT have created.

OK, I'm off for kinder and school drop off. It is cold, miserable and absolutely bucketing down here right now. A good day to be in doors scrapping, however, I have a list as long as my arm to complete.

Have a great day, and thanks for dropping by and all the wonderful comments. It brightens up my day. I am sorry for not popping by everyone's blogs the last few days, but I promise I will be visiting in the next day or so :)

Beginning....

Hi everyone

Seems a while since I've blogged, but I've been holidaying in sunny Wodonga over the Easter break and having a fabulous time !!! It was so relaxing, and not having to worry about schedules was great. The kids had a blast and I love that about caravan parks. Always off doing something and not having to worry (too much) about where they are :)

So, having said that, I haven't scrapped much :( but that will change tomorrow. I have however done the Bird is the Word challenge for this fortnight, which is - to use the word Beginning/Begin in your LO. Easy :)

Here is my take

This is a typical picture of Aidan when throwing a tantrum. It is really starting to drive me crazy !!! I'm hoping he grows out of it.

Hope to see a few of my lovely readers join in on this one. My fellow DTers have done an awesome job so make sure you do yourself a favour and check it out :)

Also, don't forget to join in at Black with 2 and The Scrappiest. Sketch # 117 is up at The Scrappiest, but due to holidays, I don't have anything to show you :(

A couple of pictures from the weekend :)

On a sad note, my grandmother passed away yesterday after complications from bowel surgery. It's very sad to see your own mum so sad :( We have the funeral on Tuesday and we are scattering her ashes over her favourite spot on the beach. Not a nice way to end the weekend, especially when it was unexpected :(

Anyway, I shall be back with more to share soon. Thanks for stopping by everyone.

New challenge

I have been scrapping so much lately, but it's mostly for DT/CT committments. One that I can show you though is my first LO as part of the BITW DT :) The new challenge is on the blog now and all you have to do is use the word "FOREVER" in a LO. Easy peasy :) Here's what I did with it

I thought this photo was VERY appropriate for the word forever. Not a day goes by when I'm not doing some sort of ironing or washing *grrr*.

I have used the fabulous "He's Savvy" kit from Scrapbook Savvy for this LO as well as a few bits and pieces for my stash.

So make sure you head on over to Bird is the Word and come play along. Would love to see everyone's creations :)

I also have one other LO to share. This one is for Scrap the Boys. The challenge was to use a photo and be inspired by the clothing.

I have taken inspiration from the blue in Aidan's top. The background was inspired by the very talented Nic Pomeroy (love her work). I've used a very old transparent alpha, stuck it down and painted over it.

Not overly happy with it, but it's another one done ;)

Have a few more to share this week, as well as another round of LOs to scrap :) It's school hols here in Melbourne now so I plan on cooking as well (or should I say cake baking haha), and hoping to get the boys out of the house this week, just to break up the wrestling and fighting that goes on !!

Well, best go and get cracking. Thanks for stopping by and leaving comments. I just love reading all of them. I'm going to be getting around to everyone's blogs today and leaving some love for you all :)

Have a great one

News to share...

Well, I can finally spill the beans and tell everyone that I made the CT over at Bird is the Word !!!!!!!



I am really excited to be a part of this team with all the other super talented ladies !! Bit shocked as well to be honest. But, I can't wait to get stuck into the first challenge. Want to shout out a big thankyou to Wendy for having me on the team.

Go and checkout out the blog here, and also check out Wendy's great kits at Tidbitz in Time

The current challenge is to use the word "MAGIC" on your LO. Super easy !! The prize for the lucky winner is this fantabulous pack

So, what are you waiting for???


AND - I had a LO picked up by Scrapbook Memories this week !!!!! Couldn't believe it. Still in a bit of shock actually.

I also won the Kit challenge over at Wicked Princesses and will now be the GDT in May. Can't wait to start having a play with what Krissy sends me :)

I have been scrapping, but can't show anything just yet. Hoping to finish a couple today so that I can share with you all though :)

It's a beautiful day here today, hope it's nice wherever you are :)

I will try to be back today. Thanks for stopping by
