Once Upon A Sketch Nov 15th Challenge

Morning everyone! The new awesome challenge has just gone live at Once Upon A Sketch and it is a beauty! This time the journalling criteria focuses on YOU as a woman OR ANY female in your life. What is the best thing about being a woman? Motherhood? Shopping? Make Up? Girls nights? Gossip? Your journalling can be as long as you wish and in any language, but you must journal at least 2 sentences on the best part of being a woman.

You must combine the journalling criteria with this sketch..

And here is my take on the challenge...

And always some amazing prizes up for grabs...

Scrapbook It Week 4 Challenge

Morning all =) Thought I'd pop in and share my last LO for a while. This is one I did for Scrapbookit Week 4 sketch challenge.

Things are getting busy with work with christmas just around the corner and to be honest, I feel like I'm producing really average pages at the moment, so am going to take a break from scrapbooking for a while. I'll still create and post my DT pages and hopefully some time away from my craft desk will help me find my mojo for challenges again. Right now, it's just not happening for me =)

Be good & stay safe

Bird Is The Word 'Wish' Challenge

As always I've decided to play along with the girls over at Bird Is The Word. This challenge is to use the word Wish in either your title or your journalling. Really great DT samples for this one, pop on over and check them out!

So this is is my little man on his very first b'day. Although he is looking relatively calm here, it was a totally mad day of children running in all directions, squealing, covered in food, fighting one minute and best buddies the next. I swear it took me 6 months to clean all of the sausage roll and chocolate cake out of my carpet. It was insane but the best fun ever and one of my most fondest memories of Mitchells baby years.

Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge

This is my LO for the November challenge at Another Freaky Scrappy Challenge. The challenge is to scrap about a belief, or philosophy you have - it can be something deep or something silly. I chose to scrap about Karma. For me, I believe, good or bad, your actions always to come back to you and you can only get out of life, what you put into it.

Time to get busy!!

Along with the start of the month brings a brand new awesome challenge at Once Upon A Sketch. The challenge is to use Nadia's gorgeous sketch below and journal at least 2 sentences on when and why you started scrapping...too easy!! Up for grabs this month is 3 prizes ( we always have the best ones don't we!). A full and fabulous Swirlydoos Kit, a $25 gift voucher at The Chip Chop Shop where our Guest Designer, Leanne Pearce, has lots of her yummy handmade embellies AND A Websters Ladies & Gent Paper Pack. Sound good? Time to start scrapping my lovelies =) Can't wait to see what you create, you may even get a spot as our Guest designer!

Creative Scrappers #180

Hope everyone has had an awesome weekend and maybe got lucky at the Melbourne cup today =) This post is for my first ever entry to Creative Scrappers. I've always checked out the gorgeous DT work from time to time and finally I have had a chance to join in. It feels like ages since I have done a vintage LO so I decided to do sketch #180 using these rather dashing photos of my dad in his 20's...
