LOs to share!

I've been playing with mixed media! yay!!!

At ScrapChat the talented chellejamo, owner/creator Chelleybean Designs (see the clickable blinkies on -----> side of the page to visit her store ) has started a mixed media backgounds swap. We have to create A5 background pieces to share. I am in 4 groups - BRIGHTS; NEUTRALS; PASTELS and EARTHY colours.
Here's my sneak peek at the neutrals and the brights. The photos do not do justice to the colours and in fact the brights looks completely different IRL - it's actually orange, lime green and red..not yellow orange and pink LOL!!


I'm really enjoying getting back into scrapbooking, and this year I am going to get more into the arty scrapping.

I will write up an epic update on Monday when Murray is back at work.

Till then xxx

AN EPIC RIDE TO CONQUER CANCER!

T

his guy Rob is a friend of mine, albeit not as close as we were growing up, but our dads are still very close buddies.
Please take the time to read this post, and even if you can't donate, would you mind taking the time to spread the word? It would be very much appreciated :D


*************************************

Support My Ride To Conquer Cancer!

1 in 2 Australians will be diagnosed with cancer during their life. I am one of those two! As I'm currently fighting cancer myself, I felt that this ride is a ride that I need to do, not just for me, but for the many others who are affected by cancer. The Ride to Conquer Cancer benefiting the Queensland Institute of Medical Research, is a 200km journey over two days throughout Queensland's scenic countryside to help fight cancer. This will be a challenge, but with your generosity and my push as a rider as well as a cancer suffer, a real impact will be made for cancer research, cancer suffers, their family and friends!


I ask you contribute to this history making event with a donation or two! The funds raised on this ride will support breakthrough research, exemplary teaching, improve the understanding of how and why cancers develop and investigate the causes at the Queensland Institute of Medical Research, who are a worldwide leader in cancer research and discovery! This ride will make an impact on many lives! Join me in the fight to conquer cancer!

Cheers and thanks for your help!

Rob

Scrap the Girls NOVEMBER challenge

This was a great challenge! I can't believe I actually did it lol. to quote scrap the girls ...

This month we have a “Bits and Pieces” challenge for you to complete….

The rules are to use every piece of the puzzle ONCE ONLY! you can't add anything else to your page aside from the elements, they represent all the patterned papers, photos and embellishments - (exception to this rule is your base page does not count as a puzzle piece and you can add a title, ink, stitching, paint & glimmermist ;))

the stars can represent ANY embellishment, the heart must be used as a heart, the circles must be used as circles - it is up to you how big or small they are, or what they are!

The puzzle pieces are obviously not to scale, it is completely up to you what size you want to make them.

and here is my effort...


The heart on the white card is actually made from cardstock, so it's one of the 'stars' in the puzzle .
Please excuse my photography, I've had to use my iPhone to take the pic as none of the cameras in the house have batteries ARGH!!!

Scrapchat are having a cyber crop YAY!!! hosted by Lexie!!

SONG ADDICTION!

My favourite song of the moment

I hate this

I hate it because it's always the way. The one at fault gets least amount of suffering. Sure he got a fine but I bet he has the type of job that pays the fine amount per day...someone who thinks they have a right to not give a rats about other people...real people!

I know a lot of people who might read my blog already are smart enough to NOT use their phone while driving...but if you do...one day this will happen to you...you will end up causing a bad accident...it's only a matter of time...it's inevitable...it WILL HAPPEN ONE DAY! think back to the days before mobile phones - whatever it was it could wait! use this theory today...if it's rining and it distracts you...turn it off before you start the car - it can wait!
you don't want what is in this video on your conscience!

I love this

Love Bon Scott

Soooo jealous of Murray right now...even though Bon is gone (but not forgotten!) I'm still jealous that Murray is seeing AC/DC AS I WRITE THIS!!! ARGH!!!! So I got a bit (OMG phone is ringing...)

OMG!!! Murray just rang me just then hahaha....I could hear it live...oh wow...he must be loving it!!! I'm so happy for him!!! he txt me earlier to say he was as close to the stage as our house is to the road...which is about 100 metres...which a crowd as big as it is, is actually pretty close!!!!!!!
ARGH!!!!!!

anyways...back to what I was doing...


check out those shorts!! ZOMG!!!

now I'm off back to bed - not feeling really well today...

Well...first post for the new year YAY! lol. I hope you all had a great time over Christmas and NYE. We stayed home. We didn't end up going camping because we couldn't get my eldest daughter and her frind in they were that booked. (They can only have a certain amount of people per acre) But it's all good, we'll go when it's a little more quiet and we can pretty much have the place to ourselves LOL!! NYE was a good one. We finally got the bar my brother was making for us! We had to finish it - long story and I won;t go into it online...but here it is all done and ready to have collectibles added ... well the first pic is a progress photo, we pretty much got it as just a frame - but it's hardwood and VERY FREAKIN HEAVY! We decided against using fine corrogated iron - too many others have it like that...so we went with good old cheap and nasty fence pailings and stained them...TELL ME THEY LOOK BAD? I think not!!!

This is all the panels on and the oil staining begins...





And this is Murray finishing the oiling...



THEN there's me having a NYD breakfast drink LOL! Just kidding! that bottle was empty! hehehe...



I've finally got back into scrapping. I have tidied my scrap shack once again, and it is again a bit more comfortable a place to be in. It is just a tin shed though...so it's quite 'tacky' but I'm hoping I can work out some way to jazz it up a bit, without it costing too much as it's a rental place - so no permanent fixing up!! I created this LO for a dear member of Scrapchat and her family. This page is the one going to Finland to Lizzy's DIL's mother.

And this is the page for Lizzy...


I have also done the card sketch challenge at Scrapchat


I will be posting quite frequently as my household chores become more organised and I actually have time to scrap. I've decided also that I will just scan all my work as it seems to be quicker and I can do it any time of the day LOL!!! Taking photos of stuff was just a PITA to me...hence why not a great deal of my scrapping was ever posted ...now though...

I am also hosting a CJ swap for 2010 at Scrapbooking Memories . I am very excited about this, and the group we have in the circle seems to be a great one! This year will be a great one for EVERYTHING in my life! I hope it is for all of you too!!!!
