RED EARTH ROAD TRIP

Our road trip is going along nicely over at Red Earth Scrapping:):):)

These are my LOs/cards for:

Week 3 - Sydney




Week 4 - Tennant Creek




Helen & the DT girls have put alot of thought into this 12 week challenge & the beauty is that there is no elimination & you can complete as many or as few of the challenges as you like!!!!

LOTS HAPPENING

I was lucky enough to attend Scrapboutique's winter retreat to Noonaweena last weekend. This was the 3rd year that Chelsea has hosted a retreat at this beautiful place, down off the central coast into the mountains.

There weren't as many girls this year but we still had lots of fun & managed a fair bit of scrapping between us all. I scrapped 23 LOs & completed quite a few different challenges over the 3 days.

This one was for the White With 1 challenge - it's been a long time since I participated in a challenge on this site but I was really drawn to the red & white & spots/dots combo this month.



And this one was for Kraft It Up:



I also got to scrap at Peta's SFS retreat, just for the day on Friday. Had a busy day there as well, finishing 10 LOs & catching up with some new & old scrapping friends:):):)

Will share some more during the week - I accidently deleted my 2011 LO file in Picasa yesterday - so will have to photograph about 150 LOs again. That's what I get for not backing up more often.

HAPPY MAIL

On Friday I got two lots of happy mail.....& of course that made me one happy girl :)

This was from a new embellie site called 'a lil somethin' by Susan Longman & Wendy Smith:

And this pretty package was from Gail Lindner's etsy shop Greatest View.

Here's a sneaky peek of one of the yellow cogs & a button I've used on a LO of Riley


& I'm itching to use some of those pretty felt flowers as well.

I love special little pieces like these...aren't we lucky there are such clever girls around that will share their creativeness with us!!!

A NEW MONTH

This is my last month on the Scrap the Girls CT - due to my computer problems, I wasn't able to take part in the previous month's challenges, but I hope to get the current challenge done this week.

This month's challenge is a COLOUR CHALLENGE and there are some scrummy samples from the girls over on the blog.


Malinda will be announcing the new Creative Team tomorrow!!!

The new challenges have also gone up at Scrapboutique, which you can check out here.
