Getting Sketched with Kaisercraft

Huge Hello Everyone!

well it has been a nother fun filled week at TAFE!
starting to feel the routine settle...even it leave little time to
scrap, arh well i did get a couple late nights in...lol!
well i've got to say the boys are going well even thought the heat over here is starting to
get to me more than anyone...i just do heat very well..lol
sweat and ice cold drinks and becoming more in love with my purple sarong...lol
not that i could be out in public with it on but i do hide in a
dark corner of the house with it ...lol

so with the time issuse and heat scrappen has been moved to
"Wheni get cool enough to move"pile..lol
have you tried scrappen while sweating??
not very good for your papers...lol
but things do start sticking to you and not your layout..lol

Well i have worked on some seriously secrect Squirl Layouts for my DT work
at Deb's Creations as i did mention in a few posts ago that Deb's is going to
release a few more Emerald Faries...but you just have to wait and see!...hehehe

But i have got a couple of Kaisercraft sketches done..WOOHOO!
first is the Febuary Saturday Sketch #3
i used Jungle Bug as the colours suited the photos so well!


i think it's the combo of the bib and that mashed Pumpkin :)
aww..i remeber the fun of given your buba mushie delights :)

then i gave Feburay Saturday Sketch #4 
a go with the yummy Peachy Keen collection :)



  This is Ash again, but a lot older and what seems to be Deep in thought...lol!
really makes you wonder what they are so deep in thought over...

Well i've got to tip my hat to kaisercraft, even in the heat and time lacking
i will find the way to get to play with their collections and give their sketches a go!

i wish i had more to show or something more to say but i'm feeling a little
mifted...maybe just tired....i think i'll grab a fresh iced cold water
and lap up some Brothers and Sisters for 40mins :)

thanks for dropping by and have a looksy
as always i'm thrilled to see your comments and totally HEART you for taking the time to make me smile :)

{HUGS}

But it was the most delish Choc Browie cake (Gluten free)
i have ever ever had! My man really out did himself on this one..
i've even put in my order for my Birthday...lol
i would have wet my pants for a cake like this when i was 7..
i so love Ninja Turtles! been so cool watching all the old cartoon
show i watched as a kid...sing the intro song...lol

Ash even thought the Cake was really yum :D




I took so many photo yesterday! when i went to upload them to my computer
it was near on 500! lol!
i am always torn between taking photos or a vidio of the blowing out of the candles
but i have now desided that when they're up for thier 21st
i'll do a montage of the vidios of singing happy birthday all through
their birthdays and play it for them on the actual singing of their
21st birhtday :D or i'll just do it for myself..lol

Well now it's Sunday and you all know i LOVE Sunday!

Imaginisce Blog challenge

Huge hello everyone!

Well i've got to say a huge HAPPY LOVE DAY!!!
sending you all loads of Loves and Cuddles!
hope your day is filled with heaps of love on this day and all the rest of the year :D

Today is the day before my TAFE course starts ao i am a little
tied up inside...wondering why i even open up my mouth...lol
still i'm sure after a couple of weeks i'll be stoked
i'm just a little worried about change...
I already miss the SAMH life style and i haven't even venture out yet...lol
well to get my mind of this i thought i would squeeze in a challenge

I popped over to Imaginisce Blog to see what they all have been cooking up
Well! i was blow away with the newest collections thay are bringin out!
and the challenge for Feb is a bit of a tuffy for me
it is an inspired challenge from this photo and using the colour combo

Instantly i thought Sweet! and Birthday! 
But these colours were all wrong for my stash!
seriously haven problems finding papers that fitted 
this theme and colours from my Imaginisce stash!
so digging deep i found some scraps from the "Wild Things" collection
nowi was streching it ...lol
what am i going to do with scraps???
well i suxed it up and thought outside the box and came up with a card and a gift box for a
birthday...






  Now thats what i call using your scraps!...lol
Now all ive got to say is i'm going to pop some Imaginisce papers on
my wish list! :D

Well thats all for now i'm going to go and find out what chef's going to cook
for dinner and bring in the washing...and maybe spray the kids with the hose just for some fun :D

{HUGS}Happy Love day {HUGS}

Saturday sketch on Sunday

Huge Hello Everyone :D
Well i'm sure you have already caught on i totally me Sunday's!
so today has been a totally homebound day!
WOOHOO! 
I am really understanding now why mums have at least one day of
complete home, every other day your running around
getting kids ready for school and shopping and cleaning!...oh such is life!
Not at all conplaining! seriously Love my life i just have the
same little streak of laziness i had as a kid,
just want to bum around home doing nothing much eles than what a want..
well almost..lol we'll be realistic with kids you get to do some
of what you want...which is awesome! :D
I finished my Awaked House of Nights book....so now i'm on the prowl for
a good read...again...well not that it will be hard...but i always
miss my friends i have in each book i finish...Sniff sniff...lol

So today scrappen wise i've been lazy also...lol
i've only done one layout but still better than nothing..lol
i attacked the Saturday Sketch Challenge Febuary #2 from Kaisercraft yesterday..
This week’s sketch is based on the layout by Al Hannah’s layout “Life itself is…” – from Kaisercraft’s February Workshop Magazine.

Here is my take on this sketch challenge


I must admit when i printed these photos i was 
really scratching my head over what papers i was going to use..
considering my kaisercraft stash is well limited...
trying to match up the red, blues...was thrill seeker and i wanted more playful feel
lucky i had a couple papers i bought for myself for christmas..
thanks to my Lovely Big Brother and his darling Hun Janelle! they
gave me a $50 voucher! seriously! best Present all christmas....well
don't tell anyone eles in my family but my voucher and Tripod are just the top of the list!
anywhoo! i was suprised how well these Beach collections addapted as a 
playful homey layout, even the top of the Beach shacks make awesome arrows!

Well now i'm on the count down ..two more sleeps and i go to school!
very excited and very nervious..but i'm sure i'll be ok...lol
Now just to sit down and some Fariy ATC and flowers for a swap at Deb's Creations :D
I'm thinking i use the delish Emerald Faires that are exclusive to Deb's Creations
            Also got to pop over to Colour room and see the new pallet
totally missed the last weeks...ooppssyy!

Well Happy Sunday Scrappen Ladies

Quick! While no one is looking!

Huge Hello Everyone!

Well i know i really should be doing some thing a little more
construtive ...like cleaning the house top to bottom while i wait for my TAFE course to start
but all i really felt like doing today was sitting in my corner playing with my papers
and have a cuppa or two...lol

So i squeezed in a couple of layout challenges today to get my inspiration going...

First yesterday i did Anna's Craft cupboard Sketch


    If your stuck for a layout design give this one a whirl!
i used the Sassafrass Lass - Robotics papers

Today was mostly taking up by a Double Challenge layout,
First was a Sketch from Handmade by Suzanna
Chloe Nielsen designed this fab sketch for Handmade by Suzanna 

so armed with this sketch and a colour challenge from Deb's Creations
Pink, Greren and Black...
Now if you don't know yet i really loath Pink and green and struggle miserable with this colour combo
so it took two coffees and some hair pulling to come up with this...




Lastly i had a go at this months Stuck?! Sketch..



Oh i sssooo loved doing this sketch!
you know you got a great sketch and papers
when it just falls into place in hafe an hour...aahhh
i totally love these papers too!
Fancy pants - Happy Together
totally great on white with mists :D

well thats about it, i've got to go look busy before my man realizes i'm really doing
anything ...lol
Hope your all have a great week and i'm chat a bit on Sunday :D

Happy scrappen lovelies :D
