THIS WEEKEND

Great fun Speed Scrapping tonight & lots more challenges to complete over the weekend. Check it all out here

MORE RETREAT LOs

These are the rest of the 16 LOs I completed at the ScrapBoutique Retreat at Noonaweena. I was really pleased with them all & I had such a nice, relaxing weekend with a great bunch of fun girls!!!!
Photos on this one are from 2006!!!

This one came together so easily using a Pink Paislee Queen Bee kit from SFS & some fun photos of Lois & Briony at our weekend retreat in April.

I think this was a sketch challenge - used the gorgeous Teresa Collins Friendship p/ps which were very fitting for this equally gorgeous photo of Michelle, Lois & I at Kate's retreat in March.
Love this one - I was determined to use the chip chandalier this weekend.

Speed scrap - had 45mins to finish - I think I took 35!!! And won the voting prize.

Congrats to my darling for reaching 30yrs service with the Railway. A big achievement in this day & age!!!

Puzzle Challenge using a photo Teresa took of me after my facial at Ella Rouge - this was the week before I went to hospital.

This was a lucky dip challenge - I had to use black, white & stars.

Documenting Felicity's month when she got her full time job & her P's, within a fortnight of each other.

Another one for Josh's childhood album - using the new Tim Holtz mask from the Boutique.

JUNE CHALLENGES

This is one of the challenges I did at the weekend retreat - it's the June 1st sketch at Stuck?!Sketches!.


And this is my take on it.


Also completed Manon's Inspiration challenge & Em's Monthly 'symbolic' challenge at ScrapBoutique




(Please excuse my poor photography.)

This one is the monthly sketch at Scrapbooking from Scratch


This month the challenge at Kraft It Up is to use kraft in a minimalist LO. This is what I came up with.


And I'll finish up this post with my last LO of the weekend - a little tribute to 2 of my favourite scrapping girls, who inspire me all the time.


Will post some more tomorrow!!!

HI HO HI HO

It's off retreating we go.............to the beautiful Noonaweena with the ScrapBoutique girls............what a blessed life I have!!!!!!!

WHERE DID THOSE 10 DAYS GO???

The last 10 days of May that is????????

So today being the 1st of June means there are lots of new challenges up for the month. At Scrap the Girls we want you to scrap those girly Birthday photos in bright, fun colours. Extra criteria this month is to use a mixed alpha title with at least 3 different alphas. Here's my sample:



Join in the fun this month, there are always great prizes to be won, email your entries to Kate at scrapthegirls@bigpond.com

And getting back to those lost 10 days - I had a sick little boy for 3 days, we spent 4 days in Tamworth, I celebrated my Birthday on one of them & the other 2 I think I might have spent doing some scrapping!!!!

Slowly recovering from my surgery each day, hopefully this wet weather clears up soon so I can get out for a little walk each day. Just when I start feeling a bit stronger, something manages to pop up to upset things - at the moment it's the thought of having to start the dreaded chemo again next week:(((

BUT I am soooooo lucky to have the ScrapBoutique retreat at Noonaweena to enjoy this weekend.******* CAN'T WAIT ********

Back tomorrow with more challenges.
