Another day....

Have been a little slack on the blog update this week.
Went to the Fiskars crop on Saturday and Michelle taught us some cute little last minute gift ideas. Most of them used the water colour pencil techniques which I love to use on stamped images anyway. I haven't taken any photos of them yet but I'm sure you can see some of the sneak peeks over at the Fiskars blog.
My crop night on Saturday night was well attended and Sunday was a quiet day at home. The barbeque even saw the light of day too as the boys spent Saturday cleaning it after they got home from the Christmas Pageant. I must remember to post some of the photos of them at that but not tonight as I am too tired.
Keelan has been home sick the last three days with a fever and upper respiratory virus. It seems to be clearing and he will be back at school tomorrow but he still has that cute girly squeal voice - poor little love!
I haven't had too much of a chance to scrap. Can't believe that I forgot it was a Cybercrop weekend at Scrapwitch... but it seems I wasn't the only one!
I will share with you two more Octoberfest layouts - having fun with these still.
Layout #7 - It's all about being Ethan at eight...
Layout #6 - Play with bubbles - Uses Jen's hand drawn doodle sheet, apart from the bubbles that are mine.

I have been preparing for my card class on Saturday arfternoon and just finished typing instructions today. I also have my regular crop this Friday night if you want to join us... although I'm almost at a full-house for that one.
Keep the weekend of the 28th and 29th free for our Come on Summer ! Cyber Crop at Heaven-Sent. Yours truly, along with Susan will be planning the challenges for this one so you better be fore-warned ..... LOL!

Our next Cyber Crop - 'Come on Summer !' - is on during the last weekend of this month. There will be four challenges, which will be posted on the forum on Thursday November 27, 2008. All the layouts have to be uploaded in the Cyber Crop Gallery by midnight on Monday December 1, 2008. On Saturday night we will do a game and chat on our forum too! Cyber Crops are a great way of getting some scrapping done, using products from your stash and to have fun with other members of the Heaven-Sent community. There are prizes to be won and the winners will randomly be drawn on Tuesday December 2, 2008.
Hmmm... note to self, need to prepare a game .................................

Gosh Christmas is creeping up fast

I'm not real good at this blogging stuff, am I? I have really neglected it lately. We spent a lovely ten days in Cairns in the beginning of November which I am sure you will see in the layouts that I will be creating over the coming months and indeed in the last couple of Cybercrops. We stayed at Holloways Beach which is approx 10kms north of Cairns city and the beach is not like our South Aussie beaches where we have the soft hard packed sand, it was grainy and moved a lot under foot. In Cairns itself you cannot swim at the beach as the city has a more swampy beachfront which is muddy and tacky with lots of crabs. At this time of the year also, the waters are full of stingers so it is dangerous to swim in the sea unless in an enclosed netted off area for protection. Holloways beach had a small area to do this and the boys liked it but the current was strong and wavy and no sooner would they stand up than wave would come and dump them under again. It became a little much for them a

My Christmas cards with North Pole papers.....

Image
Last Christmas season I bought the Kaisercraft North Pole 6.5" x 6.5" paper pad as I really loved the colours of the papers. Of course I really didn't get a chance to use them much  because I had already made my cards earlier in the year so have been putting them to use in recent weeks for my cards for this Christmas Season. Inspired by Pinterest above.    A sketch from Paper Wishes for World Card Making Day was used for above and below.  Above is another Paper Wishes sketch for World Card Making Day and below is OWH sketch #236. Another Pinterest inspired card using a lace stamp from Kaisercraft - Oh so lovely set.   More Christmas cards for my own use made with Kaisercraft North Pole papers. #wcmd2015 @sctmagazine - Challenge #3 sketch challenge Mojo Monday sketch #334 And last but not least another sketch that I can't find the details for. Thanks for dropping by again, Happy Craftin'...........

The last of the scraps.....

Image
The last of the glossy magazine scraps with toppers and extra bits. These went to Combat Cards SA just before the close off of Christmas cards.   Stamps are from a Clear Impressions set with Creative Stamping magazine. Die-cut is from Stampin' Up.     These are based on some sketches but it has been a while and I can't remember which ones they were so I  won't be able to share that this time around. Thanks for dropping by ......
