A quick post ...

Happy Easter!  My little hooligans were up bright & early looking for any goodies that the Easter Bunny had left behind.

Only one card to share today ... I had a fun scrappy day with my gorgeous friends yesterday but, as usual, more time was spent chatting than scrapping LOL.  Even though I only finished the one card, I do have a few more stamps coloured up ready to go.

and the inside includes a sentiment from a Cloud 9 Design called Simple Thoughts - Girl.

This card was made for the current Cardabilities challenge using a sweet digi stamp from Pink Cat Studio.

The sketch was so much fun to play along with & I hope you like what I created :).

Six months??? Oops!

I'm guessing that if there's awards handed out for bad bloggers than I'm definitely in the running LOL!  That missing mojo of mine went on such a looooonnng holiday that I thought it would never return.  It's only been in the last week or so that I've actually felt like playing with pretty papers.

So here they are ... my first cards in a ridiculous amount of months made for Julie's card challenge at Scrap Therapy.

The stamps are digis from CC Designs - Balloon Lucy & Birthday Lucy.  Digis have so much going for them!  No storage issues, no waiting for the postie & they can be resized or flipped or layered ... I {heart} them.

Here's a card I made for the latest High Hopes challenge using the super-cute Cuddle Cloud Baby.  The criteria, apart from using a High Hopes stamp, is (1) ribbon, (2) patterned papers & (3) flowers.  You may need to squint to see the patterned papers but I promise they're there LOL ... one for the leaves & the other inside.

So whilst I'm feeling all inspired, I'm off to find some more challenges to play along with :).  Thanks for looking!

September Scrap Jacked & DT Call

There's only a few days left to get your Scrap Jacked entry in!  As always, the girls have created a variety of layouts for you to take inspiration from.  It's so easy to play along for a chance to win a great prize from one of our wonderful sponsors.  Check it all out here.

While you're there, why not apply to join the Design Team :)!  This is the best Design Team to be a part of ... the girls are gorgeous, friendly & oh so creative.

I have absolutely loved my time on the team but all good things must come to an end & this is my last month.  Time & work constraints have killed my mojo so I've decided to step down.  Thank you so much for asking me to be on your team Bec ... you are a beautiful friend who never once put any pressure on me & I appreciate it like you wouldn't believe.  Good luck with the continued success of Scrap Jacked xx!

Don't Blink!

The first Saturday of the month means it's time for a new Scrap that Tune challenge.  Don't Blink is one of my favourite songs ... it doesn't hurt that Kenny Chesney is just ahhhhhhh!!!  I thought it was about time that Kenny made an appearance for September's Scrap that Tune challenge at Global Scrappers.

As always it's so easy to play along ... simply find inspiration in the song, create a layout & upload it to Global Scrappers :).

Here's my example

I look forward to seeing your creations!

Scrap that Tune!

It's time to reveal the August Week One challenges at Global Scrappers ... there's four challenges to get that mojo moving!  Week One is all about the Sketch, Card/Stamping, Manufacturer & Scrap that Tune challenges.

This month, I chose Rascal Flatts' "My Wish".  Maaaannnnn I love this song ... guaranteed to bring a tear to the eye every time I hear it!  Actually, anything Rascall Flatts sings I love :).

I scrapped this song years ago when my daughter was born but I love it so much I couldn't wait to do another version for my little boy's album too.

To play along, all you need to do is find inspiration in the title, lyrics or message from the song & start scrapping.  Check it out here :).

I can't wait to see what you create!

August Scrap Jack

OMGoodness, once again you all gave us such a hard time trying to choose a winner LOL!!!  Well, July's Winner & Grinners have been announced so now it's time for the August reveal :).

Here's mine ...

My little boy was so proud of the Valentine he'd made for me at Daycare ... he's such a poser LOL!

It's so easy to play along with us at Scrap Jacked.  Pop on over & see just how easy it is to win one of the three prizes up for grabs.

Some Global Scrappers' challenges ...

sheesh, another month has been & gone!  Midnight tonight is the deadline to get your Global Scrappers' challenge entries in ... so you still have a bit of time LOL.

I had the best day last Saturday, scrapping the day away with great friends at Andrea's house.  I didn't get home until after 2am but, as always, chatted waayyyyyy more than I scrapped & only managed to get two layouts done.

My first layout is a Sketch/Journalling combo in that it started out for the sketch challenge but I got sidetracked & the sketch ended up a bit lost.  Added some journalling strips & wa-la, all good for Milie's Journalling challenge LOL!

And it would have been just plain WRONG not to do Bec's Manufacturer challenge LOL!  After all, MME is my favourite manufacturer for sure.

My girl "borrowed" my camera one day & this is one of the photos I found on it when I uploaded the photos :).

So that's July done & dusted ... the Global Scrappers' Week One challenges go up on Saturday so fingers crossed that August will be the month I get them all done.
