Been a little slack

Ok I’ve been a bit slack since getting home LOL I haven’t been to blog once, I think I outdid myself while away ;) Got home on the 16th of Nov, then went up to mum’s that weekend, ended up staying there until the Wednesday. She took me to Beauford so Michael could pick me up close to home. Was lovely catching up with her again! Had been so long since we’d seen each other, she left for her trip on the 19th of August.
Since I’ve been home I have done a little craft stuff. I made 3 cards for the Allcraftz 2nd Birthday.. Made my Wizard of Oz ATC’s and Christmas ATC’s for there too.. Made a couple of cards for a Paperstars swap.. Made a Zetti’ish card for a girl in America who ended up sending me 2 cards, because Michael hid her first one while I was away. So I thought it would be nice to make her a thankyou/apology. Hope you like looking!

Addiction?

   
I think maybe I am really an addict LOL I have finally finished sorting all my ATC’s I have something like 600 of the little suckers. Not bad considering I only started making them last April, that’s about 18 months ago.. Which means I make something like 30 ATC’s a month ahahah!
If you click on the picture you can see a much larger version, so you can see some close up.
Ok here is a recent ATC I made for a flickr swap..


A layout I did for YSB last month as part of the monthly challenges. This month there are some great challenges up, but with going away I am not going to be able to play :( I am also going to miss the second cyber crop.. So head along and have some fun for me :)

Last but not least is Michael’s Mothers birthday card. I made it a week or two back. Her birthday isn’t until mid Nov, but I will be away so I did it early.. I hope he remembers to post it haha!!

Young Scrap Birds - CC

This weekend gone was the first YSB Cyber Crop. It was such great fun there was 4 scrapping challenges up over the 4 days and I managed to complete 3 of them. I am pretty proud of my efforts :) There was also lots of fun and games, I topped the games chart by a whopping 70 something points LOL. I am not sure what my prize is but I can’t wait to receive it. I received a lovely little package from Rachel this week for bingo that I won there. I also just won the Lotto there as well. I better stop playing the games or they won’t let me hang out anymore lol

  

ANSD and P!NK

Wow I can’t believe how fast the days are flying by. Last month at Allcraftz was NSD/W here are all the things I made for the challenges. Mostly the sketch challenges were all I achieved. I didn’t win anything though, I don’t even know who did win LOL. I did 4 cards, 6 ATC’s and one Lo. Not bad for a weekends work. You could do the challenges over a week, but I find that too long and drawn out. I was thinking of
doing another Challenge but I ended up going off to Brisbane for the P!NK concert.
Pink was so AWESOME! I had the most fun. It was so hot and tiring too, we had to stand for ages, and sit on the ground lots too. Was definitely worth it though. When she came out the pain disappeared lol. She talked to us all, gave lots of eye contact and the stunts she did were AMAZING!! I would go again!

    

Slack Blogger, and Exciting Night!

I am so Naughty, I forgot to post these photos last month. The fun time Lo was done for the challenge at the Out of the Hat blog. I ended up getting a second prize so I am stoked!!








This card I have done as part of the Monthly CC’s at Allcraftz. I think there is still time to get it done if you wanted ;)

This card I made for my 1-4-1 Partner. The theme was squares of all sizes. I got the idea from a blog. Now I have lost the address, so if she reads this PLEASE comment. I really liked your blog!!

Now for the exciting news..

My best friend Shannon told me on Monday when I rang her for a chat that our other friend Bex, had dropped out of wanting to go to the P!nk concert this Friday. I jokingly said I'd go, anyhow, Bex was selling the ticket to someone else, but tonight Shannon rang me to say if I wanted the ticket I could buy it :D So I am heading off to Brissy Thursday morning and coming home next Wednesday!! HOW sweet..! Only thing that is sad is I am going to miss doing any more Lo's / Challenges :( Ah well there is still time tomorrow ;)
OK I have to TRY and get some sleep. I am too pepped I think!!

Tomorrow I will post all the challenges I have done from the Allcraftz national scrapbooking day/weekend.

I hate choosing titles!!

First things first.. Why does everything need a title? LO’s, Blog posts gah, I hate trying to think of a creative title..
OK over that.
Now I got my GREAT, AWESOME, FANTASTIC prize from ChelleBB, I so should have taken a photo, but well I was a little too excited. I ended up winning for my 10 cards as well as winning for doing all 4 challenges(I am super proud of my effort too) She gave me one of the SU sets I have wanted for like forever, the cool pick up truck set. It is just as awesome as it looks.
I have made my first card using it. It is for Avie for a Wishing Well over at Allcraftz. The second stamp set I got was the Basic Phrases Stamp Set which you can view HERE I haven’t used it yet. I have been busy catching up on swaps from when Michael’s family was here. Chelle also sent me a cardstock pack and matching ribbons, and the new SU catalogue. WHOOT! Big thanks to Chelle and to Purplescraps for another great Cyber Crop!

Over at Allcraftz Ruby is hosting an ATC Circle. This is my first atc it is for my set, the theme is Time/Vintage. The next two have already arrived, Marnie’s and Ruby’s. I have to get cracking. Will post what I do as soon as I have done them.
Thanks for stopping by!

Cyber Challenge Finished

Well here is my top secret project I got it finished yesterday for Purplescraps and it took me AGES to get the collating of pictures done. This is the whole lot, but if you’d like to see the indiviual pictures go here and click on them to see each one larger. If you click the picture below you can see it larger too.

I had lots of fun making this album, it is something I have wanted to do for ages, but never gotten around to it. Thanks again to Chelle for the inspiration and making me want to scrap. The size of my album.. ATC :D See A – ATC Addict!!

Winners ARE grinners!

No photos to share this post. I am working on something 'TOP SECRET’ ok.. not really. I am working on my A to Z album for Purple Scraps, so that has been keeping me busy, and what I have done so far I can’t show you :P :P I have some awesome news from the CC, I won for the card challenge. YAY! Thank you so much to Chelle, she is a demonstrator for Stampin’up so if you need anything, buy from her! Scramin’up. The Lo’s are still up for voting, so if you are a member go vote for the LO’s you love!! While you’re at it stop and say g’day..

I won a RAK from the lovely Marnie for my card that I did for her first challenge on Boot Camp Our Way the second challenge is up and almost over, so why not take a look and get ready for challenge three.. Unless your superwoman and you can get the challenge done in 2 days.. DARE YA!
Also my mother won, so double thanks Marnie! Can’t wait for the pressie.
Now as a coincidence, Marnie was the only person to comment on my last post, so a RAK is going out to you m’dear! I am thinking bling, or how about returning the book you lent me a million years ago… which I just re-found for the 7th time… Anyhow start stalking that postie ;)

Thanks for reading, and remember you never know what may happen if you leave a comment!

Purple Scraps Cyber Crop

Well it is ages since I attended a Cyber Crop. Got my newsletter for Purple Scraps and thought I might attend this one. I haven’t done much scrapping or card making lately so I thought “why not”. I am so glad I went too. I did 2 Lo’s and 10 cards as part of 3 challenges. I am just starting the 4th challenge an A to Z of me. Luckily though we have until the 6th(ish) of April to get that done. The cards aren’t due til Monday the 16th, but I already did them :). I am so happy with them too. Lots of fun to make them as well. The conditions were that they were versatile, in that they didn’t have “happy birthday” or whatever on the front, so when you have an occasion you can just pull it out and go with it :) You also had to do, 2 masculine, 2 feminine and 2 kids cards. The other 4 were up to us to decide what we wanted.
The Lo’s were fun to make too. So long since I last did one. I am surprised I wasn’t rusty :D One had to follow a sketch (our house) and the other (family) had to be something that gave you a ‘pick me up’. As I said on the forum. Michael and Mum give me a pick me up.. Unless I am ready to kill em :D

If I have done this right…. Click on the cards and you can have a look at a bigger image :)

Birthday Challenges

These are my ATC's that I made for the birthday challenge over at Allcraftz. There are heaps of challenges and time left to complete them, but I am just not sure that I will get any more done. I have heaps of swaps almost due and I want to get everything done.

This card is also a challenge, this one was to scraplift from one of the DT or Ebony. I think it looks pretty cute to me. You can't tell that it is all on foam tape, but the little fellow is as well as the blue sheet of paper with circles.

Spring CC

Cyber crop time again. I only completed two out of the four Challenges. My back was just too sore to sit and do long projects. These are my atcs.

The tin was the OTP. It's a little shiny as it has been coated in modge podge. I really wanted to complete a challenge over at Purple scraps as it looked like lots of fun. But alas the back didn't want to.

Sitting at my desk is really hurting, but standing for shortish periods of time has been ok. The only problem is it does feel ok, then once I have finished (over doing myself) my back KILLS! One period of 'overdoing' was cleaning down our fence of all this ivy creeper and old pieces of wood (and an old clothes line lol) That night boy my back wasn't pleased!
