AT MY BEST...: October 2010

Happy Birthday Tommy

8:11 PM

Lets start with a very happy 4th birthday to Tommy, and for every one else, Happy Halloween!!!

Tommys birthday was a fancy dress for the kids, but we all made the effort to wear something original just to see the kiddies smile. The kids ranged from the Incrediables to mermaids to pirates to Astro Boy... As it was a lot hotter than we had though, the costumes didnt last long. Here is a pic of the birthday boy (who is growing up way to fast)...

I made Toms birthday card this year, which I was so happy with...

On the scrapping front, I have managed only one page this week (and it has taken that long to put it all together). It is my take on the Sara's Savvy Colour Challenge for this month & the Stuck sketch for the 15th October.

Being the last day of the month, the new kit release will take place over at Savvy at midnight. I have seen all of the kits for this month already, and they are all to die for. New challenges out tomorrow too...

Lets hope that November is a better scrapping month, and I can finally finish off the holiday album from our last Thailand trip.

Rainy Sunday

6:49 PM

Well, it has been a wet Sunday in lovely Kiama town, and it is freezing... I have been curled up on the lounge watching dvds all day!!

Friday night saw another Crop night at Scrapbook Savvy & it proved to be a productive night. I started 4 layouts and spent yesterday finishing them all off with bits and pieces...

Firstly is Party 30 which is my take on Antheas Sketch Challenge for October over at Savvy.

Next is A Moment on Smiggin Hills using the October We're Savvy kit.

Aussie Alps Adventure was a just because. I have been waiting to use that hot air balloon for a while now, and I am so happy how it turned out.

The last one was An Unmeasurable Love based on the bonus sketch over at Savvys recent Pink Ribbon Cybercrop.

I had a ball at crop on Friday night, as always. Thanks Sar for the bottle of mojo... I really needed it!!!

Sunny Saturday

8:20 AM

After a fantastic night at Scrapbook Savvy, I feel that the mojo is flowing again. It is a beautiful day here, and I am aiming to finish the pages I started last night (among other things).

Just to keep things up to date, here is the only LO I have completed in the last 2 weeks... It is a bit of a joke about our puppy's favourite toy, Brian. She just loves them and has had 5 of them now, but they don't last as long as they used too!!! This one is again using the Echo Park papers (which I am just ssooooo in love with).

I can't believe that it is not that far from Christmas and its time to start the wish lists again...

Late Night Fun

12:58 AM

Well, after my failed attempt to update last night (stupid laptop battery keeps going flat), I have a quick few minutes to pop up the post that just didn't happen!!!

This is my take on the current sketch over at Stuck. I think its a new favourite!!!

I love this photo of our mischief puppy... It is so much like her personality!!!

Here is the card I made for my gorgeous cousins 21 dinner... It took next to no time to knock up and I think it reflected her personality perfectly....

Best finish getting ready to re-join Lisa's Hens Day party, after a very relaxing morning at the Spa!!!

Long Weekend Scrappy Fun

8:54 PM

Well now that I have internet back, I can finally post an update. I have had such a busy weekend with both footy grand finals, so I took Monday out to play with some paper and glue!!!

Here are the pages that I completed and a couple I actually really love, like this one... Cheeky Chops. I hate paper folding, but love how it turned out on this one.

This double I completed while watching the AFL Grand Final Replay. I really hate double, but needed to get these photos done. This one is from this months Pagemaps sketches.
