Get those challenges in!!

So much going on this weekend challenge-wise in the world of scrapping. But in case you are looking for something to do, or some inspiration head on over to the re-invented 123 Challenge blog or the Kraft It Up blog and give the March challenges a go. You still have 2 days to be in the running for some great prizes.

The 123 Challenge for this month is to create a layout using the colour 'black', the word 'year' and the techique 'twine circles'. Here is my Creative Team example....






The Kraft It Up challenge for this month is a sketch...


And here is my take on the sketch....


So get into the craft room, and get creative!!

Two weeks......

....is not a long time for me between blog posts because I simply quite often forget to, with everything else that occupies my busy days. But it IS a long time for me not to scrap or craft in any way, which is exactly what has just happened in my life.

TWO WEEKS WITHOUT SCRAPPING!!! That is just wrong!

I have a 5mm kidney stone (and the subsequent state it left my body in after it was unceremoniously removed) to blame for the hiatus.

So needless to say, I am champing at the bit to get creative and thoroughly messy this weekend with four glorious days ahead of me.

So as I set off on my weekend of creativity I leave you with this thought....

Meet-A-Cheetah

It's not often I get the chance to scrap a page just for the sheer joy of it lately. With all my other commitments there just never seems to be enough hours in the day.
Last weekend I went away to The Dandenong Ranges near Melbourne to join in the fun at Malinda Gardner's Scrap & Chat Retreat, so I spent the first night creating this layout (in between the chatting and laughing).
These pictures are of my daughter Elise and her boyfriend Rhys getting up close and personal with a cheetah at Canberra Zoo (a Christmas present to Elise from Rhys).


I have this huge collection of washi tape, but hardly ever seem to use much of it, so I gave it a good workout on this page.
