Woohoo...

OMG I have actually done some scrapping. First LO since the Karkoo retreat in October last year. This was a nice easy one to get my mind back onto scrapping, a challenge on E2C Blog. I have lifted a LO from the cover of an old SM, by Belinda Venables.

I still need to add some stitching to mine, but my sewing machine is not working atm, so if I don't get it sorted before the March E2C retreat, I will be taking the LO with me to finish it off. I tried so hard to doodle around the letters like in the original, but I JUST CAN'T DO IT! LOL, no matter how hard I try it always looks messy and yuck when I do it...love it when others do it though. So, out with my trusty inks...a page doesn't feel complete without some ink anyways, so all is good.

I have also added the 2 (yes, a whole 2) Layouts that I did at the Karkoo Retreat. The 'Little One' is my sister's baby, and I am very pleased with the way the page turned out.
The 'Fairy Fun' one is of Tyla & Halle, photo taken by Peter. Not completely happy with this one...too busy and no balance, but ah well...it's another photo scrapped.

Thanks for looking everyone, leave me some love!

A bit late...

OK, I know this is very late, but am going to post these pics anyways...tried to do something really different with the kids for the Christmas photos 2009. Tyla was fantastic (as always, she is such a poser) but Halle was NOT INTERESTED. She sat still for about 3 minutes and that was it...she was gone! Managed to salvage a couple of her, but I think her face in the photo of them together says it all. Had to get Peter to be my test-dummy to make sure the lights didn't get too hot. Yes, the pics need some photoshopping, but you get the idea...only so many hours in a day!

How much would you pay?

OK, any scrappers out there who still drop by here occasionally. I am thinking about running scrapbooking classes once a month or so, depending on demand. My question is: How much would you pay to go to a class? I would provide kits for each person, so that cost would be on top of the classcost, IYKWIM. Any ideas or feedback on this welcome.

ROFL...

The girl's got rhythm...

I love it when...

...I can incorporate my fave hobby into my Uni Assignments! Had to make an original Power Point Presentation, an ePortfolio...so I downloaded a digikit from Scrapgirls, and used that to create my background. Many thanks to Kylie at Scrapchat for her digi help!
Here's a couple of examples...these are only screencaptures, so not the best quality, but you get the idea. So yay, I have done some scrapping! They might look a bit incomplete (except the title page) and that is cos I added text to them in the PP. Haven't got my mark back yet...that's the hard part...WAITING!

A quick update...

Ah life is so hectic. This is going to be quick, and will hopefully get back to it again soon with some photos.
I have just finished my first year of University study. OMG, I am stoked, it feels like a HUGE milestone. I have done really well and very pleased with most of my work to date. I am learning lots (lots of it probably not needed but ah well...) and have also done my first School placement, which was a lot of fun.
Kids are great, Peter is good and very supportive as usual.
Trying to find some daytime part-time work. Not easy to arrange around kids and daycare. Ah well, something will turn up.
The E2C retreat is fast approaching...about 5 weeks away I think...I am going to spend the next 5 days or so getting some kits sorted out, so I actually get a decent amount of scrapping done this time. Really really looking forward to it.
I have uploaded a photostory I did for part of my technology unit...enjoy...wish I could work out how to link it permanently, not just in a post...anyone know how?
Anyway, said this would be quick...bbs!
