Not much to show...

Can't show much today as one of my layouts over the weekend was from Lisa's Blind Scrap @ Savvy on Saturday night and we're not showing those until Wednesday. The instructions are still up in the forum so head on over and give it a go.

Another was a future sketch for Inspired Blueprints so can't show that either...

So here's what I can show and its appropriate to show it today. This is my friend Kellie's little boy James, who is in hospital at the moment with high temps. Thinking of you guys and hoping your boy is home soon. xoxo




Not much else to tell, have been catching up on paperwork and figures for Savvy tonight, omg what a big job. Note to self:- Don't EVER leave paperwork for over two months again, it really isn't worth it... **sigh**

Bye for now,
Sar

Lovely Saturday

What a gorgeous Saturday here in Wollongong, the sun is shining and it feels like Summer! Here's a couple of pics from this morning, we spent most of today with my friends Juzzy & Amanda and all the kids.





Home for sleeps and now its nearly time for the dinnertime rush. But before that, here's some scrapping for you.

Peta's blind scrap layout from the other night, using the brand new Webster's Pages Nature's Storybook...which is just divine and PERFECT for boys. xoxo



Another layout using the Websters, my one and only from the Savvy crop last night.



A just because layout using some old Elsie, and a Hambly transparency on gorgeous Dotted Swiss. Love this photo of Cooper & Charlotte. And the title just melts me... 'Friendship is a knot tied by angels hands'. Awwwww!



Thats it for now, planning on some more scrapping tonight and tomorrow. I need to put together some more page kits, my mojo wanes big time when I'm not organised and I seem to just shuffle papers for hours with no result! Might start that now actually...there's a few minutes before I have to start dinner... ;)

Cheers,
Sar

Some layouts...

...from the weekend.

Gorgeous pic of Bronte's at Nic's 40th B'day...gotta love this Prima, they just finish a layout, don't they?!



Some pics of Coop that have been hanging around waiting to be scrapped for far too long.


This month's Sketch Challenge over @ Savvy.


Another great Crop Day held here today, we all had a lovely day and I got lots of work done in between doing one lousy layout! ;)

Hope you're having a happy Tuesday!

Cheers,
Sar

Heads up for Savvy CC!!

Our Fathers Day @ Grandad's

It went like this...

Photos & presents with Grandad

And beer for Grandad of course

Cuddles with Grandma

Some bike riding



And some falling off!



Prune & Chocolate Brownies made by Nic - divine!!

And then it ended with this when Coop & Uncle Rob were playing footy...

But Georgie missed all the excitement!


And that was Fathers Day, a great day which would've been even better had DH not had to work. :( When he got home at 7.30pm last night he was greeted by three kids sitting at the top of the stairs with the little cards and gifts they'd made at preschool, and that was enough for him! :)

Overwhelmed

Thats one word to describe the response to the Savvy DT call, so far over 20 names on the list! With less than a week's notice to advertise, I'd say thats pretty awesome eh?! The first half of the first challenge is due on Monday night, so hopefully all the girls are plugging away at their layouts and criteria. :) Can't wait to see them all!

I've had three nights scrapping in a row - Thursday here with Juzzy, Friday night @ Scrapbooking Delights Crop and tonight here with Kindra & Hayley. I'm so lucky to have such an awesome scrapbooking group, can't imagine life without them all! Haven't had a chance to photograph my layouts yet, but here's some I haven't shown you from last weekend.

This is a major mix of old and new product, brought to life with the gorgeous yellow Prima flower, one of my faves at the moment!




This photo is of me, the moment I hit the button on the mouse and agreed to buy Scrapbook Savvy! Such a defining moment in my life...my gf's Juzzy & Amanda were here and insisted on taking a pic...I'm so glad they did!


A very strange size I know, but here is a 6x12 layout of some holiday photos from a couple of years ago. I have some 6x12 American Crafts albums lying around and I thought they'd be just perfect for holiday albums, so thats what I'm doing. It was actually really fun to scrap this size and I can't wait to do more.


Once again, a big mix of old and new product. I am trying really hard to use some of my old stash, and not just use brand new products off the shelf all the time! Any scrapper would know how dangerous this could be...and the temptation with having my store right here at home is sometimes unbearable! I do give in, often, I admit it... ;)


I had to play with this new piece of Scrapware as soon as it arrived. Another one designed by my gorgeous friend Lisa Warren, its called a Circle Journal Strip and works as a main feature on your page. Love it!


Thats it from me, have a hubby here that needs some time spent with him, happy fathers day babe and thanks for being such a great daddy and husband, love you! xoxo



Cheers,
