AT MY BEST...: 2011

Are you a Lipstick Chick??

8:49 AM

I am......... I have been busy working behind the scenes on my first challenge with my new Design Team over at True XOXO Scrapbooking - Lipstick Chicks.... I received an email from the beautiful Lindsay, who I must say I had forgotten that I submitted an application, asking me to become a True XOXO girl, and how could I resist. It is not your...

December OTP

10:07 PM

OTPs are something that I find a little scary... A bit like double layouts really! But like doubles, when you put your mind to them, you can achieve them and be happy with them. I found a particular mini album that would work as a little extra Christmas present for my future Mother-In-Law. I love nothing more than getting photos of our Nieces...

Stuck?! Sketches -15th December

7:38 AM

I will admit I did find this sketch a little easier than the first one this month, but I was still stuck for ideas. On the other hand, I really knew I wanted this photo to go with these papers and have had them matched up for some time now, stashed away for then I needed a quick page kit. They came in handy...

A Cold White Christmas??

4:50 PM

That is not going to be the case this year, or maybe any year for that fact. We have been having a bit of a cold snap at the moment as have most areas on the Eastern side of Australia. I have been listening to carols, wrapping presents, writing lists and Christmas cooking, yet this year doesn't feel right. I don't know if...

Guest Designer - Scrapbook Savvy

10:11 AM

To my surprise I received a text message from Sar at Scarpbook Savvy just after stepping off a plane in Brisbane, last Friday. I was just a little bit excited when Sar was letting me know to check the Savvy forum when I got a chance.... I had been awarded Guest Designer. This gave me a free We're Savvy kit to play with, and...

Stuck?! Sketches - 1st December 2011

2:39 PM

If it wasn't for being a Creative Team member over at Stuck?! Sketches, I don't think I would have scrapped a thing last month... Life just got in the way!! So this means that my goal for December has just about doubled so that I can reach my target for 2011.... Every one is busy in December, so do as I have and...

Stuck?! Sketches - 15th November

9:13 PM

This month is seriously flying by and seeing that the second sketch has been released for Stuck?! Sketches, there is the proof!!! I LOVED this sketch so much. It was one I couldn't wait to get stuck into and was sad when I had finished. I just knew exactly what I wanted to do with it the moment I saw it and when Mr...

Stuck?! Sketches - 1st November 2011

9:31 AM

I know I say it every month, but where is this year going?? They say the years go faster as you get older, but they are already disappearing in the blink of an eye **insert sad face here**. The worst part about coming into this time of year is that it isn't going to slow down at all. On the upside, I have already...

Purple Pumpkin & Bella

9:55 PM

I didn't get a chance to submit my take on the October Purple Pumpkin sketch last month, so thought I would still share it anyway. I recently purchased a couple of these gorgeous huge Bella! flowers from Scrapbooking Delights. I knew it wouldn't take me long to find a way to use them on a page, but the page had to be just...

Double Take

9:11 AM

I have been playing again over the weekend, and again another double completed!! To get through some of these holiday photos, there will be a few doubles still to come. When it comes to attending an event like the Ice Hockey, Basketball or Baseball, I ended up with so many photos that doubles are the only option!!! Its a good thing I am...

Savvy Cybercrop

10:23 PM

Scrapbook Savvy held its monthly cybercrop last weekend. As time is just flying by at the moment, I havent even had a chance to photograph my pages until today!! I managed 3 out of 5 challenges completed, which was a massive effort for me at the moment. Sara's Sketch Challenge Fishermans Wharf Kerryn's Scraplift Challenge. I chose a gorgeous page by Wendy Smith...

Stuck?! Sketches - 15th October 2011

10:25 PM

The latest Stuck?! sketch was released on the 15th October. This sketch didn't seem to leave a lot of space for interpretation, yet as always, I found a way to flip it all around to make it suit both my picture and my style. If you are a blog follower of mine, you will know that I had my first ever page published...

I can't believe that I have hit post 100!!! It feels like I started blogging only a couple of months ago...So much has happened since I did and my style has changed heaps.

Retreat - Wendys Class

10:06 PM

Not only was the Savvy Delights retreat, my first retreat, it was also my first scrapping class. I was lucky enough to get on the list for the class by the gorgeous Wendy Smith. This was also the first time I have met Wendy, and let me tell you, she is one amazingly talented lady. The class entailed a kit from which 3...

OMG....

10:20 PM

...I did a double!!!! I had a bit of fun piecing this one together. I knew that with so many photos from the top of the Empire State Building, it was always going to be a double. I just had to be in the right frame of mind to make it work. Empire State of Mind Using Echo Park Spring Time Do you...

As we are ending a long weekend here in NSW, and daylight savings has now started, I have rediscovered my mojo and scrapped!!! I haven't had a chance to take any pics yet, but one of them is a double... These are my first pages since retreat, which had me thinking that I still have pages to show... These are the last of...

More Retreat Layouts

9:59 PM

I think I am still suffering from the post retreat blues. The closest I have come to scrapping is putting all of my supplies away. The crappy weather on the weekend didn't help with the scrapping, but it did help with the sleep catch up!!! LOL Here are a couple more layouts Old Friends are Golden (Prize Winning Layout)Transparency Challenge and thanks to...

Exciting News

I thought in between retreat posts, I would share some exciting news that happened a couple of weeks ago... I think the below picture speaks for itself :-) I am one happy girl at the moment. That makes another item on my scrap achievements list crossed off. I will share a little secret... There are more to come!!!! I will be back with...

Post Retreat Blues

9:29 PM

I am home from my first Savvy Delights Retreat and still exhausted. Not much sleep was had and in such a relaxing environment it was hard to turn the creativity off. I achieved 14 layouts and 1 card in total and am proud of the work I produced. I do wish we didn't have to leave so soon. I also had the chance...

On the Way

4:41 PM

I am off to the Savvy Delights Retreat. I'm hoping the mojo is flowing and many pages are created. Many people to meet IRL and laughs to have. Wish me luck that I don't come home crazier than I left! See you on the flip side!!!! xx ...

The Day Our World Changed Forever

8:00 AM

Where were you on that day, September 11 2001??? I don't think anyone could possibly forget where they were and what they were doing when the devastating news filtered through. (The reason I am posting this in September 12, is this was the day that we awoke to the news in Australia). Like most my eyes were glued to the tv screens for...
