i think i may need to hide my scrapbooks from my kids when they get older as i can never resist telling it like it is! the new sketch is up over at 52 sketches, 52 weeks and it was perfect for these photos of liza i have had for a while……
this is the sketch
and here is my take, using the new farm fresh from october afternoon
she is lazy, but we love her all the same……

my dt pack from anna’s craft cupboard this month had some october afternoon ducks in a row papers which is the one OA line i have never had a play with. i think this is because my kids were all born before scrapbooking and so the photos of them as little babies are not the best. i managed to get around this for archie with a collage though and love the result. i’ll have to do something similar for the girls….

i have had this year’s school photos for over a month now and because they are school photos i have been avoiding them. my dt pack from anna’s craft cupboard arrived yesterday and it had some of the the delicious october afternoon report card papers in it so i kind of had to finally do them lol. i ended up doing two 6×12 layouts so i could file them in one page protector but split them later when (if?) i ever get around to putting my albums in any sort of order.
i am glad they’re done though

i have a pretty long to do list but couldn’t resist doing a just because last night. this is using a combination of cosmo cricket early bird and october afternoon report card – two of my all time favourites.
did i mention i’m excited about scrapware? i haven’t received my goodies yet and what i have in my stash never lasts long, but i did manage to dig up these cute little clouds.
thanks for looking

remember that offer which was too good to refuse? well i am extremely chuffed to say i have been invited to join the scrapware design team. i am expecting a box of goodies this week and am beyond excited to get started. in the meantime, check out the fab competition they are running over on the ning site!

the new sketch is up at 52 sketches, 52 weeks and it is a fun one!
here is my take using some of the yummy new cosmo cricket nutmeg range – i have flipped the sketch to suit my photo.
this week’s prize is a gorgeous kit from work in progress kits so make sure you have a go

i did manage to get one layout done last night – another one using the yummy cosmo cricket lil man from my anna’s craft cupboard dt pack
and as usual when i do this much stitching you have to put up with a close up!

…. and i couldn’t be bothered! i know, i can’t believe it either. i did manage to pop in at sfth for a shoppy fix and also make a quick card for my delicious nephew tom who is one next week so all was not lost. i am seriously in love with these maya road envelopes and since tom lives in qld and postage costs are ridiculous i bought him a voucher and just had to use another one!
this is the front
and the back
hopefully i will have more to share soon.
and *ahem* you know how i said i was winding things back? well some offers are too good to refuse that is all i am saying for now!

when anna offered to let us choose our november dt packs i thought i would challenge my self and ask for some sassafras lass. i love, love, love sassafras but it also scares the &*$%^ out of me and i was cursing myself last night as i tried to put together a layout. i won’t even tell you how many pieces of cardstock died in the attempt but i did finally manage to come up with a layout i love. i just had to embrace the busy and go with it. i also added some token october afternoon stickers and some rw laser cuts chippy just to make me feel more at home lol
while i was challenging myself i decided to go the whole hog, admit the silly season is almost here and start my christmas cards. there are quite a few people we give gift vouchers to so i thought these christmas envelopes would be perfect.
