Now lets get started....

Huge hello Everyone!

Wow what a couple of days!

first i've got to say i got a phone call from TAFE letting me know

that the course that i applied for i didn't need too, i've just got to enrol on the day?!

so i'm very excited to say for the 19th i'll be a student again! I'm all so picking up application forms

for our loacl supermarkets to see if i can possible get some part time/full time work too... 

Well with that simmering in the back of my mind i really have not been able to stop scrappen

weather that is a good or bad thing...i'm not sure...lol

Maybe it's my body way of trying to get something more construtive done than worrying

or maybe just cause i may not find the time too soon..EEEEKKk!!

well i've been hitting the challenges pretty hard so i'll try and pop up a couple post 

sperately so not to confuse myself...lol

so first i'll show you my layout and card i've done for the My Minds Eye

challenges this month

not only are they haven a layout challenge but also a card challenge this month!

Why not give it a go?!

Here is the layout sketch

Looking back on this layout i'm wondering what i was trying to achieve with the twinge????
Oh Well i really do love this Collections  Fine and Dandy from My Minds Eye, i purchased this kit full of delightful goodies from Scrapbooking from Scratch  after i had won a voucher from Scrap the boys  Now if your like me and LOVE a wicked Kit then you should totally checkout Scrapbooking from Scratch there is heaps to choose from and really great bang for your buck!

Next i gave the Card sketch a go, now we all know i'm not much of a card maker...but it's a great way to use up all your scraps! and i've got to say it has been so handy haven Birthday cards on hand!...lol

I used up some of My Bloom and Grow Collection from My Minds Eye    

If you love these sketch too you really should give them a go and post your creation on the Blog before the 20th Januray :D

Next i'll show you my Creation for Kaisercraft Inspire challenge

now the go is to be inspred by a photo they post up in the forum

now you got to be a forum member to do this challenge...not at all bad..lol

still here is the photo to grab our inspiration

when i saw this i instantly thought of it as a sketch!
lol but how cool is this wall! i would totally love to have wall with rndom shapped boxes to fill!
now bare with me i dived into my Homemade papers from Kaisercraft and came up with this layout

Honestly when i saw these papers i thought the last thing i would use would be these ducks...lol

well i think i was completely wrong! lol

these ducks were perfect to give the eye movement around the layout

Ok i think i'll leave it at that, two challenge a post is fairly good...

i'll be back tomorrow to show the others i've

done over the past couple of days

Hope your day has been good and your night is a rest ful one :D

Sweet scrappy dreams

{HUGS}

Sounds Like FUN!

Huge Hello everyone!!

Well sad to say i'm still working on the Mojo...

didn't do hafe the things i suggested my self...lol

seems to be the way..i've been more tied up in worry

all about weather i''ll get into this tafe course...

i was a little later for first round offers so second round offers end 7th Januray

some reason our loacl tafe in Busselton is closed till the 10th?!

so i posted to Bunbury after a ring around to find out if that will still be acceptable

so now i'm holding my breath hoping for God almighty to cut me a break a Please oh please

let me get into the Course...i'm a little scared about going straight back into the workforce

not that i'm a slacker or that...i just want to get a better Job than Cleaning..

Now i'm not saying clean is a terrible Job seriously i admire cleaner

the things they got to do and the full on work that has to be done in

limited time..WOW! that is super cleaning when you

have to clean a room/chalat in 20mins Amazing women i worked with

at Mandalay Busselton 5 star caravan carpark

i swear i thought i knew how to clean untill i was shown how to really CLEAN!

i still reamember my first week dripping sweat and trying so hard to keep up!

was even more fun when i got my older Sister some part time work

with me and how she was cleaning..i realized how much i emproved and

what a cleaning machine they had made out of me!...lol

this is before kids of course....i remember cleaning from 8am till 3pm

sometime getting the early shift in the summer @ 5am till 7am and going home form breaky

and coming back for the second day shift

then cleaning my own house when i got home and then cleaning my sister !!

LOL! oh man i think i had a cleaning bug!

So i really have nothing against cleaning or cleaners

i just want to up my stakes a bit and build my confidence

so with that eating away at me weather i'm student or Job seeker in three weeks!

i think thats why i've been retreating into my books and escaping..lol

aarrhh the typical Picese!..lol

I've also started writing a diary....they last diary i had was when Ash was born

i really wish i had kept one through the begin of motherhood..but i think was

more concerned with just surving..lol

so just another way to get out what i'm thinking and help...well thats the idea

Now onto more important things like my first Layouts for 2011!!

WOOHOO! i was just so happy to get anything done while my brain has been taken over..

so one just for just for fun with Fancy pants Rough and tough range

Then only yesterday did i break out the brights an attcked the Kaisercraft mix it up challenge

the list of things were

- Black rub ons

- card stock

- Post it note / sticky note

- something white

well you would think the sticky note would be the hardest but i had that storted from the start

you see i had keep a few "sign here" sticky note from our rental forms

and i just added a couple of kaisercraft mini alphas to change it from "sign here"

to "Fun here" 

then i used Green mod sqaud Cor ordiates cardstock

Kaisercraft little man Rub ons

And for some thing white i have white poka dots in the Fun fair pattern paper

I did use a mix of kaiser craft papers of Fun fair and Babushka (my favs cause of the bright colours)

oh i also used the Tuesday tip for prining on the tags for the journaling from the

Kaisercraft Blog

http://www.kaisercraft.net/blog/tuesday-tip-printing-onto-journaling-tags/

So this week wasn't completly no productive..lol

now to find out if another coffee can help me clean out my stash?????

That Sound like FUN!!!
