Zapped!

I have been zapped of my scrapping mojo- a lot going on personally which has been draining and hopefully with a new year soonish things will be turning around :)

I have still been quietly scrapping away and here is a few LO's to share :)

This was my last LO for project fashionista and even though I didn't win I am happy with all I got done:)

This place truly is heaven on earth - it's Melross at Kangaroo Valley NSW - google it and drool all over your keyboard - 10 of us are heading back there in Feb and i wish it was tomorrow - Can't wait!
I did this LO for November blind scrap over at LSBS - the next one will be on the 7th of December -drop by and join in the fun it starts at 8pm :) it also is my pick up 52 challenge 43 - hidden journalling - it's in the envelope - just alittle on my thoughts about the last year and moving forward....the inspiration came from Kobi Yamada and the "She" quotes - I used She went out on a lime, it broke of sehind and she started to fly".... Sums up the last year very well for me.
this one is a challenge Belle set for pick up 52 to use Cardboard in your background and pics from teh past - these pics were taken when Corey 1st finger painted at kindy- over a year ago - the pics are priceless :)
This one was for the LSBS November CC - I love this little bag Deeane threw our way and will be making more for the boys kindy teachers:) the little charm is an earring bead from spotlight.
Another challenge from the CC was to make a Calendar using scraps - I used Elle's Studio 2010 Calendars and lots of odd scraps - love this and it rady to go for my scrap desk:)Thanks Tara:)
ok so a little overload - these had been done over a month...I really have slowed on the amount I had been doing - if you find my mojo return it to me ASAP - pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease :)

I am a finalist

I am so not a fashionista at any point in my life so it is completely ironic that I made the finals of Project Fashionista over at Wicked Pricncesses.Huge thanksto everyone who voted my in :)


Here was my week 5 entry - you were only allowed to use green,pink and yellow, had to include satin also :)Minimal amounts of white and black could be used...



So for the final I have to showcase 3 pieces - an all white(or shades of white - cream and ivory allowed) LO - no other colour allowed bot even to journal - OMG this was hard especially for a gal who loves colour!!!But I have done it :)



A LO showcasing your style and journalling about yours truly :) which I have also done



And a sketch to follow - which I am still working on - all entries due this friday.Anyone can vote who has posted more that 10 posts on the forum.....will pop back later in the week to upload the sketch :) thanks to anyone who has dropped by

Challenges

I hosted the blind scrap at LSBS this week were we made some home made flowers for our LO and journal tags also:)

Here is my LO...



I also managed to get a couple more of my pick up 52 challenges done - still have about 4 to do to catch up - oops...

This one was set by Tash Allen you had to use a negative on your LO so I used the backing of a set of alpha stickers(just like Tash did)....


This one was set by

Kerryn - the pic had to be B&W and larger than 6x4 and you had to have a bow on your
LO

Thx for dropping by

You know you're a scrapper...

...when you copy a Stampin up stamp to make your child's cake - lol

Just had to share - this wasn't my intention as I found a super cute one on a site in the states but I saw the stamp and thought it was easier to decorate the rocket that way so went for it - turned out ok I think.

thanks for dropping by Melxxx

Happy Birthday Corey

I can't believe my littlest munchkin is two already :)
The saying "from little things big things grow" certainly applies and he is doing amazingly:)

Happy Birthday Cheeky Chicken



You bring so much mischief and joy to our lives and continue to amaze us everyday - Happy birthday sweetie I love you to the moon and back a gazillion times over, big squishy hugs and sloppy kisses
Love always Mumma :) xxx

Some more from me...

A big congrats to Kayla Renee and Sara for getting the two DT spots at Savvy - great work during the comp and I am sure you will keep us all inspired from here on out....

I have completed week 4 for Project fashionista at Wicked Princessess - the theme is shabby chic l so you had to include muted colours, lace and pearls...a bit of a challenge as i don't usually scrap muted colours or girly girly so here goes....



I also entered a couple of the challenges at enchanted scrapbooking for there 6 month birthday CC....



Now I had better go and catch up on the missed pick up 52 challenges over at LSBS...
Check back later :) thanks for dropping by Melxxx

Bit and pieces...

I have completed my last LO for the DT comp over at Scrapbook savvy - you had to use the banner from the site as inspiration,make your own flower, use the quote"she was an artist and her life was her canvas" and it had to be about You :)

I have really enjoyed doing all the challenges for this comp and Thanks Sar for the opportunity to try out - now to wait and see....



I have completed the round 3 challenge for Projct fashionista over at Wicked Princesses - it was a tough one this one - Men's fashion,avent garde, metal, mesh, black - with two little boys it took me a while to get my butt into gear but I love what I have done....

I know I have used the mesh for both the above LO's but I love how they both have a completely different feel - that's what art and scrapping is all about :)


I also did this LO using one of Jay's artworks as no PP was allowed for the studio.scrapbook 101 here's the link .....

http://thestudio.scrapbook-101.com/

great challenges and lots of talent - go on over and check them out :)

I also did this mini using envelopes for the challenge at scrapbook 101 - you had to do a summer themed project, it had to have a title longer than 4 words and it wasn't allowed to be a 12x12 square LO - odd shapes....

Love to escape the everyday - don't we all :)


Hope that's wet your creative appetite :) have a great weekend thanks for dropping by Melxxx
