OK So I am getting back on the wagon!

Well here we go again I hear you cry......another attempt to loose weight. But I have to do it this time, I am so sick of feeling the way I do. I am tired of being fat.....so I need to announce it here so there is no turning back!

I NEED to loose 30kg! OH my that sounds impossible........but I am going to do it in 5kg lost so that is only 6 lots! That sounds much easier already. I am 170cm tall so should weigh around 70kg. So here is to the first 5kgs! (raise glass...chink....glug glug glug...water of course!)

I am going to Weight Watchers every Saturday and I guess I should tell you all each week how I am going?? Yes or No? Hmmmm I will think about that one I guess. I need to up my exercise too...so will have to plan that into my weekly schedule I think. So who is with me on this? Anyone else out there need support? I know I sure do.

What a whirl wind!!!

This year had gone so fast and here we are in March already. Half way through the first school term with Easter just around the corner. Life has been busy...but no more than anyone else's I think. I am loving life, while it is busy and we have had our share of curve balls, I am enjoying life. I still love the DT and love to be able to have time to create. I have also be accepted for publication in Stamping and Papercraft magazine. They are publishing a set of 3 cards I made plus they have asked me to take part in the "stampers challenge" section. The issue with my cards in it goes on sale at the beginning of May. So excited about it!

I really wanted to share a few of my latest creations with you all.

The first is a desk caddy I made form beer coasters that a kind friend sent me (thank you Susie!). I had wonderful fun making it. I have used the new "Bazzill with Egde" to make the scalloped dividers in the middle.







Well I have to run now but I will blog again soon

WOOHOO...what a way to end the year!!!!

Well this year I applied for a position on a Design Team for an online shop....and I got it!!! There were 3 positions and I got one and my best friend got one too. To get on the team was great but for Jo to get on the team to.....AWESOME!!!! There are so many wonderful things planned for the coming year....all very exciting.

Here is my submission for the position.






The online shop is allcraftz.com.au

You can find the latest products at great prices. There is also a gallery and a forum.

What a year......

Well this year has been quite a year. I have done much this year but scrapping wise one of the biggest things I did was compete in an online competition....I guess I can say which one. It was Embellished Idol. It is done like "Australian Idol" in that every week you get a challenge then it is voted on by members of the forum, and those with the least votes are out of the competition. It was a bit step for me because I feel so inadiquate amoungst a lot of other scrappers. Needless to say I didn't win....LOL, but I was happy with how I went.

Here are the layouts I did for the competition.

this was challenge one - a sketch challenge. I turned the sketch on it's side.this was challenge 2 - we havd to use paint strips in the Lo and only the colours on the strip.
Challenge 3 - was to use tags on the lo. I made a tag book and attatched it to the LO.
A close up of the book

Challenge #4 was to use no photo bigger than 2 inch by 3 inch.....as you can see I did a montage.

Challenge #5 was to do a layout without using traditional adhesives...... so I turned my layout
into a pin board.

Challenge #6 was a hybrid layout, some digital elements scrapped traditionally.

So I was happy with how far I got in the competition.....and who knows what will happen next year.......IF I ENTER!

OK Second time around!

Ok well I have decided to get my blog out of moth balls and start sharing work here and just updating people on my life (not that is is very exciting). So stay tuned for some of my creations and notterings.

Healthy Scrappers Challenge

Here is my first layout for the Healthy Scrappers challenge.
I have used Basic Grey Paper for the background. I also used MM rubons and three bugs rubons, chipboard number 4 (unknown brand), crystal brad (unknown brand) and a hand folded paper pocket. My journalling in in the pocket on tags. The swirls/flourishes and all freehand drawn.

Thanks for looking.

Here is one of my favourite layouts at the moment. It is of out New Years Eve 2006 day at Mollymook beach. What a fantastic day! The weather was perfect and the wave wild, but the kids loved running in and out of the surf and filling their clothes with sand.
