Layout time

These are my latest layouts - i've been on a roll this week, got 3 done. Here are 2 of them - the Family Circle one is for the NZ Dare Blog and the other one is just because. I'm really feeling like I need to do a little bit of creating something every day at the moment - just loving it and it keeps me sane.





























I really want to do the weekly art journal challenges over at Emily Falconbridge's blog. Haven't got round to it yet, maybe this week!

Also discovered a new site, The Anywhere Studio, which has some really cool looking online classes that I'd like to do.

I've been checking out some of the CHA sneak peeks, might post a few of my faves over the next few days.

Also thinking about some cool little projects - i've got the opportunity to do some online classes this year so thinking i'll do that - just got to actually figure out what i'm going to do. Stay tuned!

So I guess

I'd better actually update this blog! It's been a bit unloved lately. Must make more effort to update regularly, lol.


So anyway today I finally picked up a copy of For Keeps. So cool to see my layout in there. I had one of my other layouts kept for future publication, not sure at this stage when that will be. Here are my 3 other layouts for the competition.







In other news, CHA will take place in a few days. I'm really looking forward to seeing some of the new 7Gypsies, Fontwerks and BasicGrey products. I've seen a few sneak peeks already and they're looking good!



Over the next few days I think I might post some of the layouts and projects I've been doing for Scrapbooking By Design.



Also Crafting Connection 07 has been announced with the class schedule posted on the Kiwiscraps website. I'm definitely going, just have to decide what classes to do. Should be a lot of fun tho as its not my usual style of scrapping.

Thanks

Thanks for all your comments re the FK Awards win. It was such a shock to me as I'd never entered anything before and never been published in FK before so its all very cool. I got to spend my prize - a voucher to a scrapbooking store here in Auckland - on Saturday. Was so much fun!


Here are a few pics of Isla from her birthday and over the holidays.

New Year - time for an update

Ok so xmas has been and gone, and new year's has been and gone. Hope it was good for you. Thought it was about time i updated on what's been going on and try and get back into some regular posting.

We finally got a new computer just before xmas but was only on it a few days before we went on holiday to the family bach up in Doubtless Bay. The weather hasn't been very summery - didn't even go for a swim so we came back early and had some nice time at home. Daryl is back at work this week and i'm catching up on things. I have a bit of scrapping to do for Scrapbooking By Design. Go and check out the forum and the shop - all up and running now. Still got the gallery to come but hopefully that will be soon.

Isla's birthday has come and gone, she was thoroughly spoiled and looked so cute in her fairy dress - will post a picture tomorrow. She started walking on her own the day before so that was cool. Now she's all over the place, getting into everything and having a great time. She's also finally got some more teeth, now 5 and i think another one is coming through.

Oh yeah and check out this pic!
