Wow another week already!

Have finished off a few layouts this week and still working on A-Z album, am more than half way through now and can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Am working on S today and hopefully can start T also, but have heaps of things to do so not sure about that. Crop on at work tonight which I'm running so will start a 6x6 album for my sil to give her mum for Mother's day - keeping that one simple so shouldn't take too long!
Got some piccies printed yesterday at Harvey Norman, that's the first time I've been there cause they were mum's pics from their digi cam, I couldn't believe it only took 10 mins for 200 prints AND they're great quality! Not to mention great price!

This is my favourite layout I've done so far this year, well one of them! I love the look he was giving the photographer (taken by a professional and I got the disc - this one of their 'rejects'!) and using the transparency.
I'm just about to scan some of the other layouts I've done this week (this one's from Jan) and will upload them tomorrow or sometime soon!

And this piccie I took of the boys while I was having some fun with my camera - got some great pics but the better ones were given away as Christmas pressies, still I love this one too!

Okay I'm totally lost with this blog atm, guess I chose the wrong one to set up with lol! I'm trying to create an album down the side like so many have but it's just not happening! Have spent more time than I want on the darn thing tonight so will worry about it another time! I had thought I'd not made this public yet but alas, I'm out there lol! Oh well, not to worry! At least I've got some parts working ok! And I'll get the hang of it yet!
My little angels are at my folks place having a sleepover tonight so I've had a good friend over for awhile to help me unpack all my gorgeous goodies from Papercrafts today! Oooh, I was soooo naughty! But loved it all the same! Had a great day, saw people I knew and met new people too! Was so embarrassed though - went to the loo when I first got in after quite a wait to run into Jenny McNulty - Amazing Creations - well totally didn't click did I!!! Was saying oh you guys are here, how cool and she goes yep and we got a great special today only, and I say - man I love Amazing Creations stamps I'm there! So finally find the stand (after much searching - my fault got sidetracked too many times!) and after chatting some more with Jenny, saying how I'd seen her work in S&P and whatnot, then finally CLICK - like how slow am I! Realise she IS AC! OMG what a dik I felt like! Anyway, she's just lovely - definitely one of the nice people and yep I spent up big there!
Got to meet Sonia from Pride and that was fantastic after chatting over the phone and emails, was great to meet her and she's sooo lovely :)
Also got some of Karen Pedwell's fantastic HUGE wood letters at a fab price! And ran into her too - looking forward to her new range! Big fan :) What else, got some Fancy Pants HUGE chippy shapes - can't wait to decorate these up and also some cool hinges.
Was a great day but the ol' purse can definitely wait another year!!!

So will finish with adding another fav lo of mine - can't scan this one any better because of the 1cm thick mini book attached but that happens. Sweetwater transperency; stazon ink used on the MM binding; little pics are from the main pics and I just love the piccies mum took on my birthday last year of me with my little men :) Enjoyed using orange too!

Clipboard is done using Doodlebug pp's and some fabric which I inked. And thanks to Maxine Hazebroek for this one cause after receiving 'Style' and reading it I was inspired to create this - I've kept it for myself cause I can't bear to part with it!

This layout done as part of a challenge on Scrapbooking TOP50. Love using the MM BIG foam stamps - they're huge and will be great for monograms and what not. I painted them up then put a Creative Imaginations clock stamp over them cleaning it after each *stamp* - it's kind of kiss stamping but the opposite way! Works a treat I think! I don't normally do many layouts like this - just for fun but want to do a lot more of it cause the journalling aspect is brilliant! So that's my goal this year - to work on my journalling instead of just the who, what, where & when!!!

Ok so I'm also testing the waters with this blog by doing this as this is one I did last month using the January Limetart kit.

Jumping on the wagon!

Well there here I am, to tell you about my busy but boring life!!! Now why did I start this? To help with my scrap journalling I hope! But also I wanted somewhere central to locate my work so my friends that can't see me can check it out! Guess once I get used to writing to myself I'll be right at this, lol! Bit weird really isn't it? Also, might get to type all those cute things my boys say - and they say a lot!
