A new challenge for the month at Scrappassion.

Well, the beginning of the month brings a new challenge over at Scrappassion and it certainly was a challenge for me. You all know that I am not an Off the page kinda person so this months challenge required the making of a mini album. Thankfully I had heaps of photos left from all of the witches I took pictures of during my visit to a town in Belgium last November so here is what I made with them: The mini album uses a number of cuts from PDDU Cricut cartridge as well as some lovely ones from the SVG blog that I purchased cuts from. The Stamps of life Halloween stamps came in handy also - which was a set I never thought I would use as we don't do Halloween in our family. But, you can never say never can you? Here is the only layout I made for the week too. It was the March sketch over at Home and Scrapped from the lovely Heather. I did manage to get to the Papercraft fair here in Adelaide this weekend after going on a wild goose chase for half an hour on the wrong road. Their blog stated one road which was the one I travelled up and down for on for a while before finally pulling the car over and phoning one of the shops holding a stall at the fair and got directed to the correct address. Seems I was not the only one that went missing..... and I apologise to those of my clientele whom I also misdirected with the blog address listing. It certainly was not intended to direct anyone incorrectly. Still, I arrived there fine in the end and spent up on adhesives, chipboard pieces and Smooch. A little more playing I can see in the future. Best be off to type up some card instructions....... Happy scrapping all.

Very nice album Melissa, and a lovely layout as well.
I would like to have got to the fair but footy has taken over our weekends.

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...
