Me is Bad......

Slack in blogging the awesome November 15 sketch for STUCK?! Things have been rather hectic of late, but better late than never, and not too late for you to submit your take. Like always there are some fabulous prizes on offer.

Here is the sketch:



And here is my take using the November We're Savvy Kit:


Like always, the CT have done an amazing job of this, so if you need some more ideas, head on over here.

Take care

Its been Hectic.....

To say the least......

I have been doing minimal scrapping, just trying to catch up on things lacking in the household - just feeling overwhelmed, but things are getting better!!!

Last weekend, spent an AWESOME weekend in Branxton at the Scrapbooking From Scratch Annual Retreat. Met up with some wonderful, ladies - some of which I have met before, others new faces.......and oh boy were there some laughs!!! I dont think I have laughed that hard in a very long time. Thank you SO much to each and every one of you - especially the gorgeous Miss Peta, cant wait til next year!!!

SO, I bet you're wondering where all my LO's are from the weekend? I managed 23 in total but since the weather hasnt been the best since I returned, I havent managed to photogaph them, but will so as soon as possible.

In the meantime - let me share STUCK?! Sketches November 1st Sketch.



I will be completely honest, this one threw me a bit, but I like how it eventually turned out.


Check out the blog for the rest of the awesome CT submissions.

Yesterday was Melbourne Cup Day. Spent the day with my beautiful girls Sar, Linda & Donna... Although the weather wasnt the best, it didnt let it "dampen" our day and we had an absolute ball. Lets see if I can get some of the pics off facebook that we took......

Look at these beautiful girls - Donna & Sarah....



We scrubbed up alright I think - Me & Linda


And of course my baby girl Charlotte couldnt go out for lunch with her Daddy without her very own fascinator :)



So you can see by my huge post, I have been really busy - and there is more to come in the next few weeks with Miss Sarah's 30th Birthday, Ben's birthday, My Little Sis Dannii also turning 30, Oliver's 1st birthday, Charlotte's first ever dance concert....and I havent even mentioned going back to work and Christmas (phew) I am just tired thinking about it.

Well, on that note, I am heading off here to get my kids into bed so I can tidy up and hopefully put my feet up for a little while before bed.

Here's hoping everyone is well

Mid Month...allot to share

Its mid month...OMG!!! Middle of October which leaves just 10 weeks til Christmas -----> oops, was that a bad thing to say!!!

Allot has happened this week and so much more to come next week - so lets get started with this:

October 15th STUCK?! Sketch reveal.



And here is my take (I flipped it to vertical)



I have been scrapping heaps - mostly just here on my own, but also managed to make it to a couple of Scrapbook Savvy Crop days, but will have to show these another time when I am able to photograph them properly without too much cloud, wind and rain.....BUT, speaking of Scrapbook Savvy ----------->

Join us for our yearly PINK RIBBON CYBERCROP as we at Scrapbook Savvy endeavour to raise much needed funds for the Cancer Council! Starting 15 October with our deadline midnight Thursday 21 October.

Photobucket
See you in the forum

Well, time to pick up my little monkey from pre-school so she can get ready for her little friends' dance party tonight....too cute.

Until next time when I can reveal all my new pages

Wow...SFS have done it again.....

With this stunning Designer Kit for October.



I was too slow off the mark as they all sold out really quickly....But its any wonder with what Miss Sara came up with as Designer of the Month. Check out her gorgeous work here and here

I am sure Peta is planning on re-ordering for those who are keen..... Go check out SFS Website.

I have been busy this morning with 5 little cherubs in my care, so only a short post today. I have updated my 52 Weeks of Me album so will be able to share when there is a little quiet in the house (maybe tonight if I am lucky!!!). No seriously, I have no regrets at all, these kids are just the best and I love em dearly. They are getting on so well, and as soon as the littlest cherub wakes up we are going to head off to the park....Oh, sounds like him now.

Until next time, happy scrapping

Challenges, Challenges everywhere......

Come and see what I have in stall for you today-------------------->

First up we have OCTOBER 1st over at STUCK?!.....yes thats right OCTOBER....where on earth has this year gone? Its unbelievable - but check this out:



STUCK?! this month decided to debut the size of 8.5 x 11 which is becoming very popular. We saw two new CT members joining the team and some awesome (yet again) takes on this sketch.

Because I am still doing my 52 Weeks of Me album, I decided to take advantage of the 8.5 x 11 and here is my take:


Check out the rest of the CT work and you will notice this sketch has been portrayed in 8.5 x 11 aswell as 12x12 and in so many different ways. Remember, you have until October 31st to submit your entries...and make sure you come back to see the 2nd sketch on October 15th.

Now for another sketch of a different kind - Its Anthea's Sketch over at Scrapbook Savvy



I will certainly be giving this one a go for sure!!!

I am off shopping now to fill up my daughters wardrobe. She has just shot up and slacko Mum here hasnt really kept up with her very well - hopefully I can fix that minor problem today.

Until next time - happy Scrapping

New Month Approaching......

Yep...tomorrow....tomorrow is the 1st of October - I cant believe it. Where has this year gone? Soon enough I will be organising my baby boys 1st birthday OMG!!! I dont want to even think about that just yet please!!!

Today Hubby kept the kids for me so I could go to Scrapbook Savvy Crop day ALONE....no kids....yep, kid free..... I managed to complete 6 LO's which is fantastic. I havent taken photos of them yet as the good light had gone by the time I got home. I can show this one, which is the September Sketch over at Scrapbook Savvy. You only have a few hours to get this done - or just do it for the sake of it.

Antheas Sketch:


And my take on it - Charlotte, Georgia & Bronte @ Coopers football game.



Cant wait til tomorrow to see what is in stall for October -------> and speaking of which.....check out these sneaks for the Scrapbook Savvy October Kits:

We're Savvy - some Crate Paper Snow Day, Echo Park and lots of other bits, another bright & funky We're Savvy coming into Summer
