Inkurable Stampers.....

I stumbled across this site a few days ago. I decided to give their monthly challenge a go, this months was TAGS using the theme TIME. You had to create a tag to use on a card, layout etc the idea was you use the word time and you MUST use at least one stamp. For more info visit here http://inkurablestampers.blogspot.com/2008/06/theme-for-june-is.html.

Funny thing..........I forgot that I actually had to make a tag so the original LO I did didn't have the tag. I realised after I had emailed it and started to post here. So for the last 20 minutes I have had to make changes to the Lo, upload another pic of it and re email it. Nothing like leaving things till the last minute. The challenge ends at midnight tonight. My DH is here rolling his eyes and I can just hear his mind ticking "she's at it again, last minute jobs".

Thanks for checking my blog out :-)

I've finally done it......

I have been checking out the Aussie Scrapjacked site and I have finally participated after procrastinating about it for ages. That's me a PROCRASTINATOR, shocker I know!
I'm sharing my LO here on my take of Nicole Anderson's layout.


I have also been busy with some circle journals for the One stop scrapping DT. One of them required some journalling about why we love our country, so here's how mine goes....

AUSTRALIA Fair dinkum mate, it's a great place. I love having a barbie, putting out some tucker and grog. If you happen to come a gutser, she'll be right mate someone will pick you up and set you on the right track. I love to veg out with my ankle biters, chuck on our bathers and go where the surfies hang or going for an arvo drive to "woop woop". My dream it to do a round Oz trip with my hubby and rugrats!

....as you can see I decided to use some good old Aussie slang.

Another required a quote beginning with the word "SHE", here's a beautiful quote I found on the net (I had to alter it a little so that it began with the word SHE)...

SHE never existed before,

The woman existed, but the mother, never.

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born.

A mother is something absolutely new. Rajneesh

I really love this quote and feel it suits me. Hope you are all having a great beginning to the weekend!

1st POST YAY!!

Hi, I am a newbie at this so forgive me if I stuff it up! It may take me a while to get the hang of things. I love to blog hop so figured I should start my own.

I have a very supportive husband, Mark, 20yr severely disabled son Scott, 16yr son Max, 16yr neice Kiralee, 13yr stepson Josh, 12yr nephew Aaron, 7yr foster child Dylan, 6yr son Harry and last but not least 3yr daughter Bella. My life as you can see is BUSY!! I love to have time out to scrap. I have been scrapping for about 18months - 2yrs. I was on the Design Team for One Stop Scrapping this year. I resigned not too long ago due to family commitments. I would love to try and get a Design Team position again in the future when all permits.

Until next time thanks for reading and take care. x
