days before i got to ink it and glue it down...yeap thats how busy it's been in this house..lol

so that is most of my year planned...lol

Justin finishes work on Monday so it's all home duties for him..lol

He seems to be looking forward to it and getting into him jarring ...i'll explain as 

the mystery unfolds...lol

still i'm thinking i haven't blog like in a whole week!

OMG! it just doesn't feel right! i'll be sure to pop up on every Sunday 

at the very least! i promise myself!

well now let me show you what had been sitting on my scrappen desk for four days..lol

      Now you can see why! lol using the October Afternoon papers

and some over done maskin...lol

still it's different...

well i moved right along from that mess and dived into the new colour pallet from

the Colour Room

I have to admit i love Purple! so i totally loved this pallet 43

i got a little carried away with the Sassafrass flowers...lol

but i loved making the purple masked paper

This has got to be one of my most fav photos, Justin having a nap with lockie :D

well i have to admit i did get to start a new book

but that is almost finished...lol a feww very late nights...

Back In a flash!

Huge hello Everyone!

Well i was almost back in a flash...lol

well truely i have suprised mysle today not only did i get through church a live 

with both the little boys...whom wanted to speed there hot wheels across the church floor(OMG!)

But i also Baked Cup Cakes and

seemed to get another Kaisercraft sketch done?!

I know! i really have to get some more of this wonder coffee!!

it's a worry though when i realize that i'm grinding my teeth?! ...seriously only one cup tomorrow...lol

any way i thought i would give the Double Kaisercraft Sketch a go..

well i sort of made it into a simple layout cause my printer is running

out of ink and i just though why not!

so going of the original Saturday Sketch #1 for Jan 2011

i used the basic outlay for the pattern papers, and focused on the three largest

photos on the double layout and
then a few of the embellishment placementand the title placement from the 

original double for balance and then i just filled in the blanks ....

i hope some of that made sense...lol

well here is what i came up with 

   I really love these photos of Ash and ME :D

they really show those really speacil snuggle moments we have :D which i cherish with all my heart!

i used the Lush collection from Kaisercraft, papers,rubons,die cuts, thise cute little

journal blocks and some Kaisercraft large cream alphas

as well as some Kaisercraft inks!...lol

really given my kaisercraft Stash a work out this weekend :D

Well now with that out of the way i think i can read in peace...lol 

yeah i know... you think i could block out the need to scrap just long enough to read the last chapters

of my book...lol 

But my mind just clicked on how to use this double as a single layout and i was off!

Like a frog in a sock...lol i love that saying :D

Well Lovelies i really do hope your Sunday has been a scrappy one, but

if not i just hope you got to put your feet up....

or   at the very least a HUGE HUG!!!

:D

Happy Sunday!

{HUGS} 

Oh For the Love of Sundays!

Huge Hello Everyone!

Well i've got to say it is just my totally fav day of the Week Again!

I just LOVE Sundays!!

today is even over cast so i'm stoked!!

I'm thinking after i finish up with my Church thingy with my parents..(LONG Story)

 I'll come home and brew some coffee and get stuck into a sketch and clean up my stash

then i'm thinking i'm going to attack my book..only 5 chapter left!

any way with thqat in mind i better show you what i stayed up last night doing

Kasiercraft Sketch of course!...lol

 I ended up using Pear tree collection from Kaisercraft as it suited the colours in my edited photo,

One of those fun perspective photos that lockie and i fluked...lol

still i really enjoyed using the Kaisercraft chipboard as a mask for the background

along with using the yummy lace and pear strips!

well i'm running out on time and i'm sure i'll be back soon with what ever i make this afternoon

...well thats if my book doesn't swollow up my whole day...lol

Happy Sunday Scrappen :D

{HUGS}

Bring on the Coffee!!

Huge hello Everyone!

Hope your friday is finding you well and has given you enough time for

all the important things and of cousre the chores...lol

Well totday was a bit of a challenge

just getting out of bed and organizes was a mission

so out comes the super dooper coffee blend..lol

Now two layouts later and all the chores done...well

except for dinner....I'm able to jump on real quick and show you what i've been up too...

Now first i really wanted to get these photos scrapped..

you know those ones that have been floating around on your desk for a while...lol

Well those ones!!

now i found it really hard to match these colours in the Kaisercraft ranges as i wanted 

to do last Saturday sketch before tomorrows,

I ever started name calling the editor of these photo..

lol which is myself...lol

WHy couldn't i have just fiddle with the Saturation or Just made them black and white!!

lol! now thats one trick i have learned scrapbooking

Trick #1 make sure your pattern papers, matches the colours in your photo/s

so this was a mission, any way settled on what was left of the Roboctics range from

way back...

As you can see the blue is a little off (LOL that beein nice)

but still i was trying to match up the yellows and reds...and sort of blue...lol

oh well still time to do this sketch again :D

Next i Dived into the New Pallet from The Colour Room

Now when i fisrt saw this pallet i was .."oh yeah blues?!"

then after a look at what the Creative team came up wiht i just went straight for 

my Fancy Pants Happy together collection

So with a sprinkle of prima and a some lovely Glimmer mist i cam up with this

darling layout...

Well my man is given we the un spoken code of "it's my turn on the computer"

LOL! so i better bend to the whim of My Working man

:D

You how it is keep your your family happy :D

their happy your happy :D

Hope you've enjoyed my little rant...lol

She gave me that look of...."yeah right....thats nice...but you payed how much???"

Huge hello Everyone!!

Well i haven't been up to anything too different...lol

Just enjoying a Sunday with My boys , trying to wash some walls for our rent

inspections on Wednesday...same day i get to enrol!!!

Really looking forward to getting back into study and then onto greater things...

not that my boys are not the greatest things i'll ever have/be...Just need to get back into the rat race so to speak..lol

will miss the SAHM routine...and i know my scrappen will turn into a late night thing

Saylav!

What ever will be will be! :D

Just as long as my boys are happy and i get some me time all is sweet!

How you have enjoyed your Sunday!

I bet Sunday has to be one of the best days!

Any hoo! i've gotten into the Colour Room (AT LAST!) i've been floating around but never seem to stick to the colour pallet...lol  well least i've been getting the inspiration..lol

Now wait till you see this Pallet

How Yummy!! and the layouts in the Colour Room!

OMG! seriously worth drooling over!!

so after a while of staring i was all for a simple layout and amp up the

saturation of the pallet...

But thigs got a little out of hand and the page took on a mind of it's own...lol

This is a photo of my Neice Princess Maddison :D i thought her bather totally fit this pallet!
and i'm so glad i used some felt for a change! :D
Totally enjoyed rolling around in my Sassafrass stash...lol :D

then My scrap table was turned into a Cave (Kids building cubbbys..lol) so i cranked up Photo shop and dived in a template challenge from PickleBerry Pop...Man i almost forgot how much Fun it is to scrap on the computer! no Mess no fuss! no worries! ....i think i would miss the hands on feel and the shopping!...lol mind you it's just as easy to get into shopping with all the digital kits! lol!

I have ponder many times about going all digital but i think i'm too far gone to get rid of my stash...just too much!!...lol

Well here is what  i came up with Using the Wild Child Kit by Lindsay Jane and the Template by LorieM Designs

Now here is a question....Could you go all digital???
I also have a real issue with storage!! Now no joke i haven't bought an album for a while so i have now four piza boxes full of finished layout!! How do you cope with your Storage??? Not just the materials i mean the Finished creations!!....Should i just make a libary??? LOL!

Oh well least i had fun making them...lol

Happy scrappen lovely :D
{HUGS}

Another Jack!

Huge hello Everyone!!!

Yes you read right i Jacked another layout from Scrap Jacked *Blushing*

I Just couldn't help myself!..lol

Well this time i think i think i really pushed the comfort zone...

Right out the window!!! ..lol

I wanted to Jack  Lisa Layout,
I was draw by the lovely textures and the circles and over all style.

Now this was a HUGE challenge

as i just don't do Flowers much on a layout and the shabby chic is so not my thing,

I totally love shabby chic but i don't do it cause..well i haven't felt my

boys really fit into a shabby chic layout..lol

 More like loud bright colours, if you know what i mean..lol

so this was a totally drama....figuring out the flowers and the Papers!

oh seriously nilly got a headache over choosing papers!!..lol

i change my mind so many times!

so i settled with Basic Grey...you don't know how much i would have killed for

 some Prima or Webster!

LOL!

Any whoo!

i came up with this layout ,

I'm really happy with the texture on this layout! i love the circles and the machine stitching over them!

I've got to find another way to use this in another layout just LOVE it!!

So HUGE thanks to Lisa! for pushing out of my comfort zone and showing me another thing i Love to do!

So if you haven't caught on yet to the Wickedly Inspiring Scrap Jacked Blog

GO! Check It Out!! NOW!!

So i didn't even mention what a funny day i've had besides Freaking over my non-shabby 

stash...lol 

I honestly thought today was Saturday! got up and got ready for outing to my parents, kids dress and ready and..... nothing?! until i phoned my Mum and she laughed so hard! 

Thanks Mum! now i really do feel like a goose!

LOL! still that reminds me of a fortune i got in a cookie this Chirstmas...

"One good thing about being wrong, is the joy it brings others"

Yes! i got that as a fortune! Seriously!

Now if thats not insightful what is?! ..ROFL

Well i ended up taking the kids to the park and haven a picnic

 and haven fun soaking up the sun and playing with the kids
Taking some fun photos and feeding the Ducks
