Back so soon......

Just a few more shares from the last couple of weeks.
 
I have been trying to catch up with a few more of Heather's sketches but it is a long slow process now that X Factor is back on. I truly should not be roped into watching so much TV but alas I do need to just sit and do nothing sometimes when the brain becomes foggy.
 
This is MWS 28-12 with photos of the boys at Scitech. We took Masaki there when he was visiting and the boys loved it. They always enjoy interactive science shows.

Next is MWS 29-12 with photos of the boys as Piney Lakes where we went for a wander during the last school holidays. This is not too far from home and a nice walk on a pleasant day.
 

At Home and Scrapped during September Kerri has challenged us to create a layout using paint and layers. This is a Colorbok paper with some brown paint stamping and a little extra cream spread about with a credit card edge. This is based on a Pagemaps sketch from April 2012, I think. A great way to use up tags and scraps of paper.

Last Friday night was the monthly SBS at Home and Scrapped and Heather had us making inchies again. Have I mentioned how I hate inchies......? I am so challenged by making something decent on a 1" piece of cardstock. Still, after three hours on the inchies alone..... lots of procrastination included, this is what I ended up with.
 
 
Another challenge for the month from Home and Scrapped, this one is Vicki's. Something old - lots of really old scraps of paper, Something new - recently purchased spellbinder foliage dies, something borrowed - a lift of a layout by Tracey at traceelementz.blogspot.com.au from about March 2012 and something blue - or any monochromatic colour choice you made..... in my case is was green.
 
 
These last two you may recognise from the Fiskars blog in a recent share. Fiskars sent me a lovely batch of Bella paper ranges to play with to make some things for the blog and here a just a couple so far. 

 

A big thank you to my niece-in-law who kindly sent me some lovely photos of her girls to use on some girly layouts. If you have a chance to visit Images by Jade, then please leave her some love on her photography. She has just started her own business and is going well so far. If you are in the Kadina area in South Australia and looking for some wedding, kids or family photos please contact Jade and tell her I sent you.
 
Happy craftin' all.

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...
