END OF THE MONTH

I don't feel like I've actually scrapped alot this month, but the big pile of LOs on my desk, waiting to be filed, tells me otherwise!!!!
I managed to finish 16 LOs & half my 2009 Christmas album, on our weekend away up at the Hut with the TickLed Pink girls. It was a great, relaxing time in a beautiful, natural setting. I haven't photographed all my LOs yet but these couple I did for challenges at ScrapBoutique.
The Stylist challenge was a LO about you & music:

And the Stash Stomper was multiple photos using a sketch from Manon:


Have just about finished sorting my scrap space - it's been such a big job but I wanted to do it properly, so it has taken a bit longer than what I anticipated.

BOOTCAMP

Last month I signed up for the new Bootcamp at Blue Bazaar & these are my first 5 LOs using the Pagemaps sketches & prompts provided.
BC#1 A Day In Your Life

BC#2 Holiday/Travel

BC#3 Family Traditions

BC#4 Stripes & Dots

BC#5 Double LO


Have also completed 4 of the next 5 sketches but haven't photographed them yet.

I'm still plugging away at sorting my scrapping area - I have a big box of stuff ready to take into Riley's teacher - hopefully she can put it to good use for craft lessons. It took me all this afternoon to sort ribbons & flowers & buttons. I'm planning to be finished on Wednesday, so I can do some actual scrapping!!!!

STYLIST LOs

My sample monochromatic LO for the monthly challenge:

These were using Chelsea's Paper of the Month - a bright, fun range from Rose Moka, now on a half price special in the Boutique.


Kaisercraft Lush range - gorgeous colours in these:



And the full sample of my sketch challenge for the Cybercrop last weekend.

Still lots more to photograph & post later.

This is where all the challenges will be posted.

I'll be off having some scrapping fun with the TickLed Pink girls, up at 'The Hut'.

LUCKY ME

Kate has asked me to stay on the Creative Team at Scrap the Girls along with these awesome girls:

And of course we have a great monthly challenge as well…..

The August challenge is: Girls getting messy! Use your less than lady-like photos (some examples might be a bad hair day, mud & dirt, food disasters, tantrums etc - use your imagination!)

Include a "messy" technique on your page, such as inking, glimmermisting or painting.

Remember your pages must be girls only - no boys allowed! Please email your layout entries to scrapthegirls@bigpond.com in jpeg format, no bigger than 600x600 – please re-name your picture file with YOUR name! Entries close midnight 31st August 2010.

And here's my messy sample:

Thanks Lois for letting me use another photo of you & Charlee!!!

This next lot are bonus LOs designed by Teresa for our Monthly album classes.





And these couple are just because LOs from June.



Finally, these were from Peta's June class:




So now I'm nearly up to date with show & tell!!!!!

TIME FLYING BY

Gosh......just where are the days going.......nearly 2 weeks has passed since my last blog entry......& now we're into another new month.

OK.....getting back to the charity crop day in July - I had a lovely day with Lois & Michelle & met new friends in Annie, Donna & Mandy. Also caught up with lots of older acquaintances from Megastore days. Cassie & her helpers did a marvelous job in organising the day & I was lucky enough to win a couple of prizes too!!!

These are the other LOs I finished on the day.




Some were scraplifts & all were scrapped using my kits that I have saved for crop days etc.

Also in July, Chelsea hosted a crop day in the holidays - Lois & I went down for some scrapping with Chels, Sav & Ros & met Toni & Lisa for the first time IRL!!!!
Had a lovely & productive day again, completing 4 LOS all together.






I am really enjoying scrapping with friends at the moment - I seem to get alot more done then what I do at home.

These were the other challenge LOs I did for the Boutique Cybercrop.The first one was for Manon's Roast.

Sharon's Colour Challenge.

Chelsea's Speed Scrap


Hmmmm that will do for one post I think!!!! More to come when I photograph some LOs from Peta's classes last month.
