Just a quickie

Aaaaaw I went and saw a new baby tonight. Soooo cuuuute! Little Rhys, didn't even make me clucky though so I am definately NOT having anymore kids. My 2 have driven me insane lately, a 3rd would send me over the edge completely!!!

While they were at mum's and I had a spaer hour I got busy with publisher and finally made the raffle books, made the covers, posters, flyers and even did the calendar bottoms. Now I just have to print out 150 copies of raffle tickets, and over 1000 pages of calendars!!! Geeez I'll be a busy girl! Here is the 2008 calendar, every page is a different colour scheme. I just hope it is all right, I make it all manually using a spread sheet. Hope the dates are all correct. Then everyone makes an A4 sized custom top which I laminate and bind with the bottom. Finished product looks really good if I do say so myself. Now I just have to get time to make one for us and all the family members!! We usually raise over $1000 each year doing this fundraiser but I have to do it ALL and it is a LOT of work.

And here is the top half! Closest thing I'll get to a layout for now :( I'm really happy with it.

When I saw this photo I just HAD to scrap it. It is the best photo ever. So I did a page to capture it's beauty. These 2 cute little girls belong to a friend and I just hope she likes what I have done. So girly and glittery and of course BUTTERFLIES!!! What little girl doesn't like butterflies & glitter?

Just a quickie I made tonight!

Get them HERE

PSSSST!! Keep an eye out here early this week http://www.scraphead.com/

Finally a page!

First in over a week! For Bella Gypsy. It's my nephew Cooper and I thought the colours would look great. Notice the glitter? That's the style freebie in action. I am also working on a new photo cluster action. With & without frames. I used it in the layout, look good? Hope so.

Well I am so sick today, aching ALL over and have sore throat & nose. It's Jason's birthday today so I'll cook something nice for tea tonight. Back later with hopefully another page.
And here is page 2 for today. Using Lindsay Jane Designs. I love this photo, and I love this kit, the papers are really gorgeous.

And my last page for today. My layout for Kiki Scraps. This is my Maternal Grandmother. Any Aussies who know Jed Adcock that plays for Brisbane Lions? Well this is also his grandmother.

Well now I am off to bed to finally watch my episodes of Survivor China.

Happy Monday!

AH what wonderful weather we are having this week. Today was so beautiful we ate our lunch out in the backyard like a picnic! Except I think Kaylee fed all of hers to the dogs! haha. I got Deacon new sneakers for a steal at $10!! How good is that? And he was excited to get the thing-a-ma-bobs for his crocs too, you know the little thingy's that go in the holes? No computer time today, no pages to share yet.

Happy news is my excellent gift I got from Christine Smith today at DST. She RAK'd me with her new 'Crumpled, Creased & Curled' template/ overlays. I LOVE page tears & curls so I can't wait to use these. The crumpled paper overlays look so good. I always feel so honored when I get a gift, and love downloading them like opening a present!

UPDATE! This is my new layout, a very quick put together tonight but I'm happy with it. I love all of the photos from the Wildlife Park. The kangaroos are just so tame, even letting Deacon pet the baby joey in the pouch.

I finally bought Christina Renee and got RAK'd by Karah Fredricks & Juniana!!!

UGH I finally took the plunge. I have been holding off for so long because I knew once I started I couldn't stop. And already I have spent more then I had in paypal so now I have to wait for a echeque to clear!! Arrgggghh.

I so wished I had been game enough to apply for her CT call. But there is so much good talent out there that I knew I was outgunned. Luckily my CT's have asked me and I haven't had the rejection yet, so that's probably what turned me off.

So now I am happily waiting for my CRD products to be available and I can't wait!!! This is what I'm waiting impatiently for:

The skinny mini ribbons is the first thing I ever saw of Christina's and I went to her store and was blown away. I could hear my paypal account shivering nervously so without even looking I made a bookmark and left the store quick smart knowing one day I'll have the courage to come back and shop. The collection looks so awesome, those flowers are what I am really hanging out for.

And when I logged onto DST today I had been RAK'd by Karah Fredricks! Shanna4 RAK'd me for Karah. A $5 gift voucher to Blue Flombingo!!!

I have been totally in love with Karah's fold templates since I bought one last week so now I have 2 more! I also bought some cool ribbons. And I must add too that Karah's customer service is AAA+++ after she sorted out a query I had no worries at all. Great people to deal with, very professional. This is what I got:

And lastly, I logged on to DST again and suprise! This was in my inbox!! I haven't even had a chance to look yet, it's a BIG download.

Thanks girls for giving me your wonderful products to scrap with. I'm only too happy to pass on the good word to other scrappers. Hopefully this might inspire someone to shop at your stores.

Wowee have we been lazy today. It's 3.30pm and the kids have just had their bath. Back into pyjamas. Deacon wanted to stay in his PJ's all day so why not. So of course Kaylee did too. But now they've had a bath and into clean PJ's, same thing but I couldn't stand dirty PJ's any longer. We've just watched movies and used the computer today, it's wet and windy outside so it's been a stay home day today. Lucky I have 2 clothes horses for my washing!
So far I've done a page for Kiki but I haven't uploaded into galleries yet, will do it later this week. It's a friends daughter from Playgroup. I just loved this photo of her, her eyes are just perfect. When I saw my Kiki 'KIWI GELATO' kit I thought of this photo with the diamond crown. I just bought the paper fold template too that I used on the page, so cool. I love it. Click layout for full credits.

And today I got Gina Cabrera's papers, 50 for $3! What a sale. Extreme Grunge Collection

I'm planning on making a new header too. More my style, pink, glittery & girlie. That's tonight's plan when the kids are in bed. It's taken me nearly all day just to do this post!

And I made these diamond swirls tonight so I'm posting them as freebies. Please leave a comment when you download HERE
Thanks, hope you enjoy. Can't wait to see one in a layout.
Finally...the last page page for today. Using Gina's grungy papers and my new tear template. DST has been down all night so no galleries until tomorrow.
