Another crop and a few more pages......

It's been a while since I had two Cyber crops in the same weekend but it happened again. I had very little time to make an effort for either as my weekend turned out to be rather busy. But I did manage to get three layouts done on Saturday night at a Stampin' Up, Consultants Crop.
Over at Scrap of Difference, Jo gave us a theme of a different kind with a video link: To a Child, Love is Spelled T-I-M-E. The layout above was for the colour challenge that used the release this week from the Color room. I used their sketch as a base for my layout as it worked well with what I had pulled out to play with.

Next I did the inspiration challenge that was a direct link to the movie for inspiration. I used a Stuck sketches sketch from here and I just rotated it and varied the position of the photos.
Over at Home and Scrapped, Joy challenged us to scrap lift a layout from her own gallery and use the theme of love in the title or journaling. These photos are from our trip to AQWA where the boys loved seeing the "little Nemo" fish swimming. Funny how the childhood movies never leave our memory.

This week is crazy busy for me and I am off to a Scrapbook retreat in two days until Sunday Night so am so looking forward to some intense creating time and chatter. Just have to get myself together and pack stuff for it.

Have fun and happy craftin'

Lovely pages Karen. Thanks for commenting on my blog, it was great to hear from you again.

I hope you're enjoying W.A. I lived there for 2 years back in the mid 70's and loved it.

It's funny that I found your comment on my blog today. Only this morning I suddenly thought about our last retreat and realised it's been 5 years!

Say Hi to Odette for me whenever you catch up with her. I'll be popping in here to keep an eye on you now that I've found you again.

((hugs))

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...
