I'm so slack ;)

Hi all

Yes I have been a very slack blogger lately...we've had a few issues happening here, will fill you in on them a little later.

I just wanted to share a *gasp* scrapbook layout that I did, and am very proud of. It was created for Cath at LSBS, and since I'm not a scapper it won me the 'encouragment award' for the Cybercrop - YIPPEE!



The flowers in the circle are from the Looks Like Spring stamp set featured in the Spring Mini Catalogue , and the smaller ones have been punched out using the Spring Bouquet Flower Punch. Both of these items are from the mini catalogue and this means they are limited time only - so if you're loving the look of them don't forget that these are only available until the end of January, let me know if you'd like to order them. The ink colours that I've used are So Saffron, Certainly Celery and Pixie Pink for both the title and the small flowers, and the large flowers have been done in Pixie Pink and the edges "rock and rolled" in Rose Red.

The "O" in the title is a chipboard one that has been coated using Opals, an ultra thick embossing powder made in Australia by PipeDreamInk. The doodles around the edge are actually stamps that I purchased from LSBS, they're the clear Autumn Leaves ones by Rhona Farrer, extremely versatile!

So there you go - a scrapping layout from me! Forgot to mention that this was a sketch challenge on the night, and what a fanastic sketch it was. I'm loving the flowers in a circle, and this is the first wedding photo that I've scrapped... and I really enjoyed it!

Melbourne Cup

Now I'm not into horse racing...if truth be known I'm not into horses at all, was never one of those girlies that went horsie ga-ga...but Jenni at TSS had one of her fabulous cyberstamps last Friday night (and all weekend) and one of the challenges was create a Melbourne cup quinella...to be inspired by the whole extravaganza that is The Melbourne Cup in Oz. I was quite chuffed with what I made so thought I'd share it with you.

Had to Share

I just have to share with you what my little girl got up to yesterday...she's not quite 2, and has been known to 'munch on' my rubber stamps in the past - so I was quite happy to turn around and see this!




Looking at these really brings home to me that she's not a 'baby' anymore *sob* - where does the time go? She's certainly growing up very quickly these days.
