Ages ago when Allcraftz had the NSD I took the photos of my classes that came, I forgot to post them haha.. mind you some are still in this form. WHOOPS LOL. I am going to complete at least ONE of these things on the Scrapbookit retreat
 | "Mini" Album |
| Card Class |  |
 | Basic Grey Mini Album |
| Lo Class |  |
I made this card as part of a weekend challenge from the lovely Megan, I made this card for a COTW for the Cute Stamper's Group/Mailing list, as I owed a card to Joy. The COTW had to be 'Ice Magic', "Use any stamp of your choice that is not usually related to cold weather e.g. a butterfly or a flower. Give your card creation some "ice magic". Use silver foil or gray, pale blue and white coloured card, add some white or silver glitter and any other embellishment to give your stamped image some "ice magic"" Megan's challenge was to use items that were available in the AC4Y store, didn't have to be bought there, but definitely had to be in the store. I was naughty though and used household foil, which Ebony doesn't actually sell lol. So I combined two challenges to get one card :D
This LO I did for the Purplescraps Cyber Crop, the Challenge was to create any Lo with a movie Quote and also some Chipboard. I took the quote from Dumb and Dumberer. It features our old Washing Machine and also our brand new one that we bought last Sunday.
Last weekend was also the AC4Y Cyber Crop. There were lots of great challenges, but I only achieved two. Check out the gallery to see all the neat work done. I did the Card sketch and also the lo Sketch. I am not too sure about the card LOL, it is way brighter th
an I am used to haha, but I really like my take on the Lo Sketch. I have used my Cuttlebug in both challenges. I really love that little machine.
Thanks for looking, and if you comment DOUBLE thanks!!
One of my best friends lost her mother to cancer. I feel really sad about her passing. It must be so hard.
I made this card.
Another friend of many years lost her dad 2 weeks before. I made a card then too.
It's been cyber crop time again at the Allcraftz Forum, this month's theme was Bohemian Rhapsody, Challenge 1 was Sketchy using Megan's lovely sketch. 
Challenge two was 
It's All About YOU,
this is my entry. It
had to be a photo you
either loved or hated..
Needless to say I like
this photo of myself :)
Challenge three was Olde Worlde Charme (LO Sketch), but I didn't get time to enter this one. Still check out the wonderful entries! It is going to be so hard to vote.
Challenge 4 was Mini Me, making a mini album that had the phrase I am, this is my entry to the challenge.. I am going to add another set of 'files' at some stage. I really like this little Mini.
I have been so spoilt over the last couple of weeks, not only have I won a couple of fantastic prizes. But the girls on the Allcraftz Forum have been sending me Raks (Random Act of Kindness) as part of our monthly Rak list.
I have gotten a lovely rak from Anna, Sharon, Cherie, Ruby and Avie.
I wish I had taken photos of all my goodies now so I could share them (actually you can see a little of Sharon's great little note book in the photo with the HUGE flowers) I really love what everyone has sent me. It is so great to open up mail with yummy goodies in it. Big thanks to Ruby for the DST! You have no idea how much I needed it :) 
Avie 'owed' me a COM (Colour
of the Month) for the Feb/March COM. But we had held off her sending it as she wanted to send us a house warming gift. Avie had been running behind on sending it but sent it on Thursday. To my delight I opened the door to receive a PIZZA box lol, I thought it must have been an order, but no it was my goodies from Avie. 
There was a lot of awesome scrapping gear, yummy herbs and two (TWO) beautiful wind chimes!!! The wind chimes took a bit to get up, (the heaviest one falling down, and having me {stupidly} sticking my foot out to 'catch' it.. which hurt lol).
THANK YOU AVIE~!~ I LOVE IT ALL

This is my entry for the Challenge Monochromatic on white at Purplescraps forum. This month their cyber crop is sponsored by Allcraftz. So I thought I would pop over and have a go. On Friday night I won a $25 voucher to spend at Allcraftz, so that is really cool! It is the first thing I have won at Allcraftz. I have a second challenge I want to do, but I am not sure when the entries have to be in.. Also the Purplescraps is down at the moment. Anyhow hope your having a good Sunday!!
This was also done as one of the challenges. You had to follow a sketch, and although you could 'change' it around a little, I didn't do so, apart from turn the actual sketch around. I will add the sketch if I can find it.
Had a great time over at Purplescraps. THANKS for having us Girls!!

I participated in the Allcraftz Cybercrop last weekend which was a lot of fun, we had a theme of Somewhere Over the Rainbow. The challenges were really cool.
There were 3 different challengs,
1. Brown and Blue only LO,
2. R.A.I.N.B.O.W Challenge, choose elements that correspond to those letters ie. R = Red or Rhinestones etc,
3. was to create a fan from the template.
All the girls did a great job. I only got one challenge done as I spent most 
of the weekend with Mick. He even had a Monday RDO, which was cool, but also bah in a way as I could have done the challenges while he was at work.. AH well!! I would rather be with him than scrapping alone lol. We spent pretty much all weekend either chilling or in the garden. Was a really good weekend. I'll leave you with a picture of my Lo and some of Michael and I out in the Garden...
Do you know if this is a plant or a weed?
Do you know what tree this is?
Do you know what tree this is?
What about this one?
These are things in my new yard that I am not sure about. The top one plant/weed I am thinking about getting rid of but I want to know what it is. Same goes with the Strange twiggy tree.
When Michael was going to bed I heard this funny little growling noise. Michael said he thought it was a possum, I went outside and sure enough it was. Trouble was very excited that this guy was hanging around. I am wondering if this little creature has come over before and whether that is what Trouble is breaking out to try and get to.. Not that Trouble is going 
to be able to escape soon... We have bought a dog electric fence, especially made for troublesome dogs.. I am sure once he see's it the memories of farm life will come back to him and he just won't go near it.. Here's hoping.
Yummy Yummy Yummy. I got yummy mail yesterday. I bought this kit from Michelle at ScrapBookit. It is so super yummy I just had to take some photos of it. I didn't do it justice but omg it is yummy. I can't wait to make something.. But What?? I am not sure what I will do with the kaiser book.. 
Probably a birthday book I need one of those.. Or maybe an address book, I need one of those too haha. I have seen them made into quote books, which are lovely.. but I don't use many quotes or have enough for a book of favorites LOL.. Hmm decisions, decisions, decisions!! (Don't be looking at the junk on my desk either!!)
On another note, here is my mother's day card. Made first and foremost for my mother and secondly for the challenge over at We Challenge You
This is a lo I created on the 14th & 15th, well really I created and had the idea on the 14th, but it took me to the 15th to stick all the bits down lol. I did this as part of the Chinese Whispers Thread on Allcraftz. The photo is taken in Geraldton, Western Australia. The Lady is looking out waiting and hoping that her son would be home soon. It is made to honor and remember the H.M.A.S Sydney. I created this Lo using Bazzil in 2 blues, Tim Holtz Distressing Ink, Chipboard letters, Embossing Powder, Paint, Opals, a Fancy Pants Stamp, some Embroidery thread and a bloody good photo :D
Hope you like it, thanks for stopping by!
