Yeah I cna call myself a scrapbooker again

It was a long night with little sleep but much was accomplished and yet nothing was achieved.... oh that sounded pretty good... where can I use that in a report??? It says lots of nothing just like lots of reports that I have to read...

Ok so here are the layouts I finished off and started and finished if you know what I mean . Have another three going at the moment but unfortunately my children are hungry so I'd better feed them...

oh yeah and yah to finding my challenge page. Only found it yesterday when I went thru all my gears!!

Things I'm loving ..........using text strips, pea haylie font which looks really good and handwritten (will explain to children that it isnt my writing) white cardstock (can yah guess) and BG boys collection. Wasnt much of a fan when I first got it but hey sometimes potential takes some time in the eye of the beholder.. sorry about the bad photos couldnt be bothered scanning them in!

Things I want more off... um white cardstock, chipboard stars and chipboard arrows ( I have nin tuck) hs alphabet letters any kind and all kinds and um yip thats about it really.

Bye bye... off to find the children.... I think they have starting to walk up to the shop without me... fatal flaw I have the money!!!

other photos

tried to do all the photos in one post and it wouldnt let me so here the rest are.......... am working on the hand at the moment, well not this exact moment but you know what I mean!

Smack my bloggin hand!!

One could be forgiven in thinking I do not scrap any more. Problem is have to clean the house before I can get to the kitchen table to start creating and secondly have to unpack the whole thing before children awaken!!! I want my own space room!!

Ok well its late.... 3am to be precise ish and I have been in the process of finishing and starting pages adn so far I am at 5 which is good for me considering I started at 10.30pm. Of the six three I did at scrapcamp but didnt get finished and of the three one is nicks class and the other 2 are my sad own designs..... working on compleing the FAYE album this weekend and am on a baby joseph buzz at the mo'. So will post in the morning.... remembering morning as in risng could be at about 1 at this rate............

phoyos.....before and after shots........... and some variations... if you want to know how to do something specifically let me know and I'll post the detail.... or should I save it all for the nov scrapcamp.... yolande??? hehehe

Oh yeah we won the social grade at netball final score 28 - 36 it was close I tell not much in it up unitl the 3rd quarter however because we won we now have to go up to the open fit grade (key word being fit in case you missed it)

Crazy Days of June

Here we go again... ok in the lst 7 days we have done lots of everything .... no scrapbooking since camp which for all accounts is relaly poor and am getting fussamarated as!! Have nearly finished up on some photography assignments as well as practicing more and more skills but determined that new screen will be needed quickerly!

Ok so had TKD grding for my sons (ps hubby took the photos for that. I was tending to crying baby and got asked later from DH did you miss it all) my reply was not polite, netball practice including some photo practice for the real photo.

Very difficultto get grown women to pose in the cold of winter cause all they can manage to do is moan there *&# off says she who was wearing a full tracksuit and jacket. But good news we have our final on Tuesday night against the team we only beat by one last time so that should be fun. A couple girls missing in the shot inclusing myself and the manager was hung over and looked terrible so didnt want to be in it :)

Picture of one of the local kids outside the dairy....

question for blogger............man where to the photos go that get uploaded but dont show...........

Photos gone wrong

Well its late of course so have been playing on photoshop and going through some photos that I would usually have deleted but instead going thru them i decided to artistly photoshopistly recreate them. The left is the orginal bad colour, out of focus, blah blah, middle one, cropped, colour variated, saturation increase blah blah while the last one is my new fav weapon which still needs me to tweak again. Ok let me know if they look terribly pale on your screen... I'm working of a screen that has a terminal illness and dying slowly so everything looks much darker... i should work off the laptop but cant be bothered setting it up. And like Yolande and Lianne am missing people comments and thanks to those who do!! So if your reading let me know which of the two you like :)

Actually got some scrapbooking done, bring on Yolande KS July class I'm busting to hook uo with everyone. Day in breif, woke up late, lounged around for ages, did some scrapbooking, went to visit my dad, searched for his and mums passport for 2 hours but found $1000 cash that she had stashed in a safe place about a year ago instead (wont tell everyone about that 'special place' mum) had a lovely afternoon nap followed by a mad afternoon with my daughter returning home from her auntys house and played referree between my two sons.

Habve been strolling the blogs and great to see Keishas blog back up and running. Love her work and will now have a play with my HS frames but miss my sewing machine something chronic. Actually picked it up at the op shop for $10 but lost the bobbin and havent been able to find a replacement one for the model ...... sigh Have also been enjoying Cynthias blog, Rachel Richters updated blog, and Desiree as well so guess I'll be awake for many hours

A picture speaks a thousand words

Far too busy life is.... trying to find slow and easy again. But admist the asthma, the flu, the birthdays, and the work its all on all the time......... have made a couple of shoots for the month of June so looking forward to that and my last day of work is looming real soon..... oh well just have to spend more time on working the photography stuff and with any hope scrapbooking, bring on July 1st

Cards and Floods

On the card front am loving my designing with greetings book. Highly recommended!!
I'm on a card making craze at the moment and decided that I would make me a set for family so they can stop bugging me to make some on short notice (defined as like 10mins before they are leaving for the birthday) so made this jandal/ sandal card for a 21st. Really enjoyed making the jandal card and decided I would use that template often. Will just have to touch up on my skills re joining the chipboard together. But again given the short notice I was stoked.

Also made some birthday invites for our 'pakeha' brother Brett whos 21st is in a couple of weeks. Struggled with the invites being a male and all so took a surfing approach and think that it was probably the inside words that made it funny. Cant see it on the scan but used my heidi swapp beach stamps and on the black card used my versamark as a subtle stamp, whilst on the front used the same stamp Ok so cards to make for

• June are Sons 9th Bday Card,
• Niece 1st Bday card
• Sister in law bday card
• Another niece 4th bday card
• mum bday card (no i'm not going to give your age out)
• 2nd son 8th Bday card
• brother in law get well son card
• bretts 21 bday card

Should get my own stamp made at this rate. But yip on my DW calendar was a great idea to just make a whole lot and store them so this could be a go

• 
  Its been pouring down with rain and theres nothing much to do except watch DVDs and eat food of which is now on short supply:) Theres a flood outside my driveway and has taken a couple of hours to subside. It wasnt deep but it was excuse enough not to go anywhere....
  
  

Photos from Camp

Ok am shocked that I didnt take as many photos as I thought I did. Not my usual style usual I take heaps. I didnt even take a photo of the venue which for me is strange... oh well its only 20mins away could take a photo later of the sign... any some photos to enjoy and hope they look ok on your screen cause my monitors dying and I cant see the colors properly..........aaarghh!! some more on the way tomorrow.... now when shall I sleep???
