Don't forget the Scrappasion challenge!

Just a few more days and the first Scrappassion International blog challenge will end and the next begins. You still have time to make a vintage style layout detailing a word that represents you in 2011.

No more layouts from me in the last few days as I have been busy preparing my Sympathy card class. Here are the cards the ladies had to make this afternoon.





I knew a couple of the ladies have the Stampin' Up Manhattan Rose embossing folder and they have been disappointed when trying to use it as it was not as exciting an image as they expected it to be so I decided to make a couple of cards using it to try and sway their thoughts. They really liked the middle card with the lovely butterfly cut from the SVG blog where I bought the file of her cuts offered on the blog. There are lots of them.... and I love most of them.
The greeting stamps are from the KaiserCraft mini clear stamps Sympathy set. The flourish on the third card from Basic Grey flourish edges and the floral image on the first card is from the Papercraft clear expressions range.
It is great to see that my favourite Christmas card challenge blog will be back up and running as of Feb 1 with a few changes to the format. Looking forward to playing along with Fab's challenges again.
Who will join me in the fun?

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...

It's been a busy couple of months......

I know I always seem to say that but it really is true as our family is on the move to Western Australia. Only one more week in our house then another week before we arrive at our new home. Crazy, crazy time. The boys have had their school concert this week and Ethan's class performed an adjusted Wakakirri routine to fit to the size of the stage they had to work on. Ethan did a great job. Mitchell and Keelan's classes worked together on their songs. Keelan out the front with the dancing and actions and Mitchell at the stage side playing the large bongo style drums. The concert was a great success and all the kids tried really hard to please their parents. It's always exciting to see the little Reception students giving it a go even when some of them have only been at school for a few weeks. The school band played before the event and I took the opportunity to take some pics of the boys as I realised that I have never really taken photos of them playing with the band before....

Cybercropping.... come join me!

You know with all this hot weather I have a house full of unwanted insects and it is driving me insane! I know it is a little revolting but I just had to share this image of the fly that I sprayed the other night. I had to put it next to a normal fly to show you the difference..... no joke, this fly was 4 times the size of a regular fly and about an inch long. It was giving me the shudders just to have it flying around me. Well after that awful thought, onto some sharing. Last weekend I managed to sneak in a couple of the challenges at Scrap of Difference Cybercrop. They had some great challenges but with all the stuff going on in my weekend last week I just didn't find enough time to play with them all. This is a card I made for Rochelle's challenge - to make a card using white, pink and green. I needed the sympathy card to send to my wonderful friend Cathy from the ACT whose Father passed away just before we went to Mildura. My thoughts and prayers are with Cathy and her fam...
