I'm so excited....and I just cant hide it!!

WOW-WEE I submitted work to http://www.scrapbooking4less.com.au/ during the search for new DT members and the competition was fierce!! But im totally stoked to say i was one of the girls selected and i am now a really proud member of the S4L DT....very cool! So thanks to shelley for giving me this opportunity, congrats to the others selected. All the work was just stunning im sure shelley had an extremely difficult job making her decision.

This is some of my work that went to make up my application- cards, LOs and OTP

The 'serenity' LO is one i did for the S4L scraplift a DT memeber. I lifted Toni's {scrapdragon} work and this design was from a card she made.

Thanks for coming to visit and sharing in my exciting news, take care and have a fun day.

ps the 'Being Cool' LO is a layout i did for Louise and that is a pic of her son.

Hi *waving*

Hi all

Well just thought i would jump on and post...yes i have been rather slack haven't i?? Well in October i was lucky enough to have a Guest DT position over at http://scrapbooking4less.com.au/ and as part of that i was sent a DT pack and got to create a layout here it is .

I also made a card from the pack as well with some left overs.

Then they have the DT challenge, where everyone on the forum can add to the list of things in the challenge and it was quite BIG!!! The challenge was:

1. Girl themed
2. No flowers

3. No pink

4. OTP

5. Metal

6. Cardstock

7. Felt

8. Alphas

9. Chipboard

10. Paint

11. buttons

12. Ribbon

13. Random alpha’s for title

14. Photo of yourself

15. Orange

16. Fabric

and here is what i came up with...a Dream/Goal Keeper

Then i went and opened my big mouth about getting it finished before the end of Oct so they set me another one!!!

The second challenge was

1. Orange and blue colour scheme

2. Flowers

3. No buttons or bling

4. At least three photos

5. Use chalk or coloured pencils

And here is my layout

So things have been rather busy over at scrapbooking4less. There was also Toni's holiday challenge...on of the DT who went away, and she left us homework!! lol I managed to get 3 of the challenges done.....

challenges included a photo sequence layout {'sunset} a scraplift of a layout in the S4L gallery {'Yum' - scraplifted from Toni's work} and also a no pic layout {'I will never forget'}

So that is about it from me for now. I also did ATC's and yes i am still to upload pics of any of them...how slack!! Just think what a surprise it will be when i finally get around to it!

Take care, have a fun day

Feeling Sad

Hi,

Warning, sad post ahead!

Well Im just feeling a bit sad. On 7th October 2008 one of my best friends passed away. Our wonderful, amazing and beloved dog JUDGE who was 14yrs had to be put down. It was such a terrible decision to have to make, but the vet tells us it was the best decision for Judge. I am still so very sad without him and i miss him every day. I keep expecting him to be there when i get home, or come and sit with me while i hang up the washing, and give me a cuddle and 'talk' to me when i tuck him into bed at night. I just miss him so much and wish with all my heart that he was still here.

Judge at 2yrs {top} and 14yrs {bottom}.

Thanks for listening :)

Hi! Just sharing some recent creations

Hi,

Well i know my posts have been quite rare recently but wow ive been busy, Im loving being a Tupperware Manager so being busy is just part of the ride!! But unfortunately scrapping had to be put on the back burner...probably why im feeling a little nutty lately, im sure scrapping keeps me sane!! But never fear, cos i am going down to sarah's this week to S-C-R-A-P!!!!! Yahoo!!

Well here is a layout from S4L blind scrapping challenges {about 2 weeks ago now} These pics were taken when Troy and his Prep class went on a day trip to a farm...as you can imagine, he had a great time!



This layout was completed on the weekend, S4L http://scrapbooking4less.com.au had a cybercrop and it was great to do some scrapping again! This layout had to be majority green with flowers - as the cyber crop had a SPRING theme.
I love these pics of Tanay, her beautiful self really shows through.

And finally, i made this card during the S4L Spring Cybercrop. This was for an OTP challenge with a spring theme.

That's all for now, take care,
Kel xox

Hooray for me, i actually scrapped!!! YAY!!!
In the past couple of weeks i have made some ATC for the swap on http://www.scrapbooking4less.com.au/ {Yes i keep forgetting to take pics dont i?? OOps}
I made some felt flowers for a swap on http://www.scrapbooking4less.com.au/ {ok i forgot to take pics of these too...but when that pic is uploaded on the forum i will get a pic on here too}

Busy Busy Busy!!

Hi,

Well August is just hectic in our house...so that equals NO scrapping!! ARRGHH!!! I am in a couple of swaps so i will have to get busy to complete them on time but other than that i think i have done only 1 lonely layout! Unbelieveably sad isnt it LOL
So there isnt much of August left but there is still lots to happen...23rd our 6th wedding anniversary {which we celebrate in a big way in our house, lots of pressies for everyone!} also on the 23rd is troys school fete, so he is totally 'pumped' about that, Im also hoping to 'promote out' as a Tupperware Manager so will be busy with parties {still a few more spaces left if you would love a party, lots of freebies for the host and heaps of fun!!} Then i think that will just about wrap up August *phew* then maybe september will bring so spare time....scrapping time!!! :)

Take care, talk soon

Update

Hi!

Well my update is a little bit sad....well for me anyway....I decided to step down from the DT over at http://addicted2scrapping.com/mb/ . I'm not going to really go into the reasons why but it just felt like the right decision to make :( I will certainly miss not being a part of a DT even tho my time as a DT member hasnt been very long, it still felt nice to be a part of a creative team. I do still have a month guest DT spot over at http://scrapbooking4less.com.au/ and that is coming up in October.
There hasnt been a great deal of scrapping going on here currently, i did complete my project for the We Challenge You blog {which has now been shut} so when i get a spare minute i will upload some pics of that. I was doing OTP and i made a mini book with an about me theme. It was a great challenge because i wouldnt normally scrap about me but it was fun :) So next time im here i will post a pic...promise!
Hope you have all been scrapping up a storm!
Take care

Chinese Whispers

Hi,

Well I have just completed my layout for the Chinese Whispers scrapping challenge over at http://www.scrapbooking4less.com.au/ .....off you go and have a look, it's fun!! The idea is, you get a list of people, then the first person starts creating a layout, then the next person in line takes four elements {colour, design, papers, title, embellies, number of photos etc} from that layout and makes a layout, also adding more elements and then it continues down the list. So here is my layout.

I just love pink and brown together and I also love this photo of me as a little girl with my mum and grandma. I don't really know where my design for this layout came from...deep within my brain somewhere LOL....but I'm pretty happy with it :)

My latest project {I was doing cards in June} for http://wechallengeyou.blogspot.com/ are on the blog so go check things out....and even better, get involved and have a go at the challenges, you may even WIN!!! Here are my cards

Thanks for visiting, have a great day :)

WOO HOO - Guess Who Scrapped!!??

Well as you can see, it doesnt take much to get me excited :) I finally had a chance to get some scrapping done!! Yippee!! I did my June Challenge for http://wechallengeyou.blogspot.com/ They will be up on the blog soon {the 20th I think} so check it out. The girls have done some amazing things this month...and make sure you take up the challenges!!



I also did 2 yes count them...1....2...layouts for the http://scrapbooking4less.com.au/ Cybercrop on the long weekend, here are my layouts. The 'Having Fun Being U' layout had the colour theme of red, white and blue. The 'Bondi' layout was from a sketch and had to be done in green and gold. I probably would never have chosen either of these colour schemes, but overall, I am pretty happy with my layouts. So head over to http://scrapbooking4less.com.au/ and check out everyones wonderful work!!

I still have to show some of the ATCs that I have been making for the swap at http://scrapbooking4less.com.au/, I am having heaps of fun making theses cute little things. I will get some pics and upload soon :) I'm hoping for more scrapping tonight *fingers crossed* hope you are getting lots of creations made ;)

Have a great day

So Sad...it's been a scrap-free zone!

Hi,

Well just thought I would send out a hello even though I haven't got any recent scrapping to share. The past few weeks in our household have been just yuk!! We have all been sick and the kids have been the worst. Our daughter was in hospital for a week so the scrapping has been non-existent....so sad!

I am desperate to scrap and hopefully *fingers crossed* I can get into some this week...i need to scrap!! ;)

Although I haven't got any recently finished projects to share I thought I would just upload a couple of past OTP.

The altered notebook I made for a swap over at Scrapbooking4Less. And the little wooden container is for my daughter's hair ties and clips.

Well that's it for today, take care and hopefully I will have lots to share soon :)

And The Winner is.....

Congratulations to TONI - Scrapdragon!! She is the winner of the Scrapbooking4less Scraptacular!! Woo Hoo Toni, very well deserved, your work is just gorgeous. What is her prize i hear you ask??? A $300 pack of scrapping goodies....pretty impressive hey!

But I'm certainly not complaining as runner-up, Lisa and I each receive a $50 voucher to spend at http://www.scrapbooking4less.com.au/ . Well I think it is just awesome and thank you so much Shelley from S4L, YOU ROCK!!! The scraptacular was a heap of fun and to be rewarded is just an awesome bonus :)

We Challenge You update & Latest Layouts

Hi

Well I'm hoping by now that you have all checked out http://wechallengeyou.blogspot.com/ and maybe some of you are having a go at the challenges???

Here are the first challenges:

May Challenges

Layout- Using a photo of you make a layout using paint, hand stitching and stamping with some flowers

OTP- Make a door hanger and/or bookmark using a favourite photo with flowers, beads and hand stitching

Cards- Make some Mother’s day cards using a photo of yourself, your mum, or both of you together along with hand stitching, stamping and flowers.

Don't forget if you would like to be in the running to win a prize please go to the blog, click the link and email your creations to us or post a comment with a link to your creations.

Here are mine for the May challenges - I was assigned to OTP

Well I have been busy finishing off the layouts for Scraptacular - round 4 over @ http://www.scrapbooking4less.com.au/ . We had to create 3 layouts -

one inspired by Kerrin Quall - who does the most amazing hand stitching on her layouts! Her work is absolutely beautiful. "Photo Shoot 1976" is my Kerrin Quall inspired layout.

one inspired by Marah Johnson - I find Marah's work to be very rich with an almost old world charm/feel {but hey that could be just me} so that is how i have scrapped my layout inspired by her work.

and one of our own style - which I think is quite simple, with clean lines. Generally in 8.4x11 and mostly with 1 photo. I love to add bling and when I journal I tend to write as if I am talking to the subject in the photo.

The competition is fierce, the other 2 girls are extremely talented!!

Well, that is it for today, have a great afternoon

Attention All Scrappers - READ THIS

Here is a post from Ebony at www.allcraftz.com.au sounds like heaps of fun and Im sure you would all love to be a part of it :)
******************************************************
National Scrapbooking Day
Here is a note from our major sponsor AllcraftzHi again everyone...In the US this month it is NATIONAL SCRAPBOOKING MONTH and today is National Scrapbooking day. I think the concept is brilliant and mentioned to one of my wonderful suppliers that they should make it INTERnational instead of just National... and I've decided I am going to do just that.Whether it stays in the Allcraftz For You community group, or spreads Australia Wide (hopefully).

I declare that the first Saturday in June, the 7th, will be our National Scrapbooking Day!On the day we will have games, prizes, fun, laughs and some awsome events... challenges, excitement, exclusive secret offers and MORE. A percentage of all profits on the day will go to a fantastic charity too!Tell everyone!!! Let's see if we can get EVERY store in Australia claiming the date too and make it Australia's National Scrapbooking day instead of just the Allcraftz one.Ohhhh fun- here we come!!!I challenge ALL scrapbookers to make this a memorable event where-ever you are in Australia. Tell your local store, the other online stores you visit, your friends, EVERYONE. Let's make it bigger and better than any other Scrapbooking event and set the standard for every year to come.We can do this!Thanks everyone for participating in the store-wide sale today too.
Cheers!~E~www.allcraftz.com.au

Just Sharing some of My Recent Creations

Hi, I just thought I would share some more of my recent work with you :)

This collage is a mini album I made for the 'DT Pack challenge' on Scrapbooking for less. As Dame and I eloped we don't have alot of photos from our wedding so this little album was just perfect!

This collage is of an altered book/journal that I made {available for sale on ebay} The clasp is painted grungeboard, and it feels just like leather!There is a little envelope on the inside front to hide little secrets/treasures. Each page has lines, and is a cute and classice colour scheme.

Here is a layout I really love. It was another challenge at Scrapbooking4less - Scraplift a DT Member. It is a scraplift of one of "Scrapdragon's" wonderful layouts.

This is a layout I did for a Guest DT spot with Enchanted Scrapbooking. This was one of there February packs.
