Come Play at a Cybercrop.......

If you get a chance to scrap this weekend, come drop by Home and Scrapped for a Cybercrop to get your creative juices flowing. Angie and I are running it this weeked and we have a couple of interesting challenges for you to play along with.

I've been continuing to make my Christmas cards and bought a kit the other week from Scrapbooks from the Heart in Canning Vale with some lovely Graphic 45 papers in it and some designs by a team member. I started with the cards from the kit and with the little bits left over made a couple of extras of my own. There was lots of fussy cutting to be done so was glad when I finally finished them. The end results are lovely though even if I do have to admit to it after all the cussing. The two cards at the bottom row of the first photo are my own design and the other 6 were the kit design.


Managed to get to the Craft shed last Saturday for a crop night and completed Josie's colour challenge from Home and Scrapped for August. She even gave us a sketch to play with too, so not much thinking on this one.
This one above is MWS 25-12 from the Scrappy sketches blog by Heather.
 This one was MWS 31-12.
 This one MWS 21-12.
 And this one MWS 26-12.
I even managed to get the Step-by-step completed on Friday night which was again designed by Heather. She is such a busy lady and I like to play with others designs from time to time, especially when you don't know how it is going to turn out.

Well, enough from me.... off to create some more and then turn in for an early night as the boys have their last footy game for the season tomorrow and as always it is the first match of the day so we are up at the crack of dawn.

Happy craftin' all and have a good weekend.

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...
