PMSL......i will post some pics and share a bit more about our weekend once i grab the pics off sandy.....



i have done up some little pressies for all those gorgeous ladies who gifted me with their company for the weekend...so stalk the postie next week girls as i am posting them soon...lol..i want to send out a HUGE thank you to you all for an awesome weekend....

i will be posting some details about next year for you soon too!! i know some of you are very keen to know the date and get it into your diary so i promise i'll get it all organised for you...i will be keeping the weekend as a challenge weekend with a scrap kit included in the weekend package...more details soon!!!

scrap layout overload!!

we had an awesome scrappy weekend...well i now i did...my body even went into shock on monday from all the layouts i did (LOL...well that's the excuse i am using for the migraine i had )...i am really happy with the 11 layouts i got completed over the weekend especially considering that i didn't scrap at all on the sunday....so technically i got 11 done in a day and a half...very happy girl here!!! ok so here they are....sorry for the pics quality...still not great photo weather around here.... "stripies" was the first layout of the weekend for me...nothing to technical just a quickie to get me started....i just used some felt as a photo mat and mounted the pics for extra height.....

oh my god!!! yes that's me girls......my mum is so happy i finally scrapped a photo of myself god love her...lol.....this was for the challenge "one sketch 4 ways"...this was the first view for the sketch....i still have to add some journalling but i need to have a chat to mum to check a few things first.....

this layout of chantelle after she lost her first tooth is for the stitching challenge and used a pagemaps sketch.....i am really happy with this one....i loved using krissy's doileys and some jenny bowlin butterflies!

just a little close up of the doileys etc.......look real stitching too!!! it's a miracle!! pmsl......

this challenge was for everything you did to be done in two's....so i used...2 photos, 2 stickers, 2 patterned papers, 2 different edges (distressed edges on the large square and a torn edge on the strip) and a 2 word title...

this page of the gorgeous miss maddie...a friend of ethie's from school on their trip to dubbo last september....was for a sketch and tag/sticker challenge......i LOVE the "paper doll" range from crate paper...it is sooooo yummy!!!!

ethie's turn.....more pics from the dubbo trip.....for this challenge we had to pick a shape and stick to it...so in my case everything had to be square!

this typically cheeky layout of ebony was for the fussy cutting challenge using another pagemaps gorgeous sketch...

i am totally in LOVE with Krissy's doileys and flowers...if you haven't already checked them out then you really, really need to get on over to wicked princesses and check them out cause they are just awesome!!!!

another quick layout here for the paint dauber challenge....i used it to edge the CS and colour the chippy hearts.....of course i have added some of krissy's flowers again...LOL...i just can't help myself.....i LOVE this pic of sandy...it was taken at last years retreat so it was fitting that i should finally scrap it at this years!!!

i LOVE this layout....this was for Peta's blind challenge and we all had a ball doing it!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS WITH US HONEY....everyone really enjoyed it and loves their pages.....i love this pic of ethan and had been dying to scrap it so i love that it turned out so great! i am SO IN LOVE with the "animal stackers" range from 3 bugs...i will be using it heaps more yet i am sure!!!

this layout was done for the "one sketch 4 ways" challenge using the gorgeous "Brook" papers and some vintage goodies from krissy of my mum and dad on their honeymoon at the gold coast in june 1958........don't you just LOVE krissy's puffies flowers!!! this photo of merv and chantelle is another one i have been dying to scrap...i think i did an ok job of it in the end....i am really happy with it....this challenge was to alter a heidi swapp playing card and make it a feature of your layout....so i added a cluster of fussy cut flowers and a doiley then i also used it to start off my title....i love the alpha i used on this one as well...the black is some fabric thickers and the pink is the new Lush alphas...both are available from Peta at scrapbooking from scratch....

well that's my stash from the weekend.....i have SO much still left over from my kit to scrap with that there will be loads more to share with you all very very soon i am sure!!!

have a great day girls
