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
thats if i get anything done to chat about...lol

Happy scrappen lovelies :D

Finally a bit of Peace....almost!

Huge Hello Everyone!

Well i think i've been trying to play catch all this week!
With Ash Starting School 5days a week i'm feeling the presser
getting every one organized for a day is well...full on!

My Hat goes off to all those Mummies out there who do this every day and go to work!
MAN! you are all like SUPER MUMS!
well another week till i start study so i'm starting to bit my nails and try not stress
while Justin is Confidently taking over the kitchen and Lockie is just like a
leech onhis father...or little baby monkey!
LOL!
i'm feeling the sting already and i haven't even left yet!

Well as you all know i Just LOVE SUNDAYS!
so i finally got to sit down and scrap and have a few coffees in my space
and hide from all the stress and worries and just enjoy 
playing with my papers :D

i tryed out the Bobunny Challenge Any Kind of  "Before And After"....
this took me a while to settle on a photo but i'm really stoked with what i came up with


   Morning After - you Preposed....
This photo was taking on the Morning After my 21st Birthday and the say day my
Sweetheart preposed to me....We were ordering Pancakes for breaky too...mmmmm!
lol! i loved using the collections Cambrigde by Bo bunny

Then i tryed my hand at the Sketch from A2Z scraplets
using yet again Bobunny and some of A2Z Scraplets Chippee


 I think Ash looks so cool! lol! totally cute!
if you love this sketch pop over to A2Z scraplets and give it a whirl!

Next i tryed out the challenge for Kraft it up! with their colour pallet challenge...

Well when i saw these colours i instantly thought of Kaisercraft Rewind collection...one of
my all time Favs!




If your like me and can't go past a colour challenge pop over to Kraft it up and give it a go!

Now i had to squeeze in a couple of quick cards...one for someone's Birthday
and Another for Love day...
My Birthday card is created with the Kaisercraft Collection
GOD! i LOVE these 6x6 pads! they are AWESOME!
Just sprayed the CHippie Numbers with a bit of Cosmic Shimmer
and think i should give them a lick of Dimional magic to make them look shimmery! 




Now i thought i would do something a little different for Justin's Love day card...
i came across one photo of us after my 21st and thought if i fiddle with the
effects on PS i will get something Arty..lol
so to make it pop i thought this Prima paper would be sweet!
all psychidelic like he make me feel! aaww isn't Love grand! :D

Well i really hope your week and your weekend has been great and your ready for round two!
LOL! i'm sure looking forward to an early night!
lol!
Happy Sunday Scrappen!
