Hi Bloggers,

I just wanted to share with you a digi layout I created just now.. I havent done a digital page in such a long time and for a mini challenge on Scrap, Chat 'n' Challenges I decided I would whip one up :) I find them very quick and easy but no where near as fun as paper scrapping lol!

Less then 4 weeks to go!

Only 27 days till we meet our little christmas angel.. I have some beautiful christmas paper all ready to go for a welcome home layout :) I feel like I am carrying a baby elephant and this elephant moves ALOT! My feet, ankles and face have swollen up big time so thankfully there isint far to go. Here is a preggy pic.. We had to take it inside today because its just way too hot outside (45 degrees) but you can definatly see that he has dropped and is not longer up under my ribs :). He is making alot of fuss too.. Arms and legs flying all around LOL

Some Exciting News.. A new Scrapbook forum has opened up and its called..

I've made it through to round 5!!

WooHoo! Im so happy to have made it though to round 5 of the 'Embelish This' Competition.. Here is my entry from round 4..

It didn't actually turn out the way I had imagined in my head.. It started out to be a newborn canvas which was going to have little ducks etc but then I seen this photo and well it kind of just came together like this. The challenge this week was to combine 2 other crafts with scrapbooking. The crafts I used were the canvas and painting, Patchwork (the stitching of my paper onto the canvas) and my favorite was Paper Mache.. I cut out my own flowers using cardstock and then layered them with ripped up newspaper :)

TFL xx

ATC's & Me

Well first of all I want to say YIPPPPPIE!!

I made it through to the next round of the 'Embelish This' Competiton! Now we are up to round 4 and its going to be a tough one :) Wish me luck.

Next I wanted to share some ATC's.. This one is for a free swap up on the gold coast..

Halloween theme ATC swap over at Young Scrap Birds :)

These little babies had me worried.. I sent them to mum last month and they took almost 3 weeks to arrive :O I was so glad when she called to tell me they had finally made it. I think the posty must have put them in the wrong box as it had a 'return to sender' sticker on it. Im just happy they turned up safe and sound, I broke my back making these LOL

I cant believe it.. Less then 6 weeks to go!! We have another ultrasound on Monday to see how bub is doing.. he has had a few big growth spurts and is definatly not measuring under size anymore LOL.. They also like to keep an eye on his kidneys to make sure they are alright and my fluids needs to have a check aswell. Oh the last few weeks are a pain in the bum but it will all be over soon :)
This is me yesterday.. thought it was about time I had another preggy shot.. Thankyou my wonderful fiance xxx

Much Love

New Layout

Hi everyone, Here is my latest layout I made for the week 3 'Embelish This' competition over at Scrap 'N' Craft with T!

This week we had to use the colours from the Melbourne Cup logo, black, white, hot pink and teal and had to create an intresting background with 3 different elements to it.. I layed the black netting over a plain teal background and painted over it with black paint to give it the dotted effect.. Then I sanded over the paint to bring through the lighter teal and some extra texture. I did some hand sewing at the bottom and then scrunched and folder the netting and stapled it to the background. We also had to use Fabric, Feathers and Bling. One annoying thing about the heat is my letters keep on wanting to peal off :(

Till next time *hugs*
