Off to New Zealand

Well I am off to New Zealand for Craft and Quilt Show, so this will be my last post until I get back, I can't wait I am very exciting.

Cathy from Scrapgenie was in Gladstone, she was passing through on the way back home it was so lovely to actually get to spend sometime with her without worrying about catching the plane home or should I say missing the plane, everytime Lauren and I are together we always are rushing for planes LOL !! one day we will actually be on time.

I did an online crop on the weekend at Scrap Therapy, I had so much fun, I don't normally have the time to do this, but I made time, Mike was working all weekend, so when the kids were in bed, I got online with all the girls at Scrap Therapy, and I had a ball. There were 4 Challenges to do, but I only got 3 done, so here they are.

My first Challenge was to follow a general sketch, so this was my offering, and with this layout, I actually used up some of my old papers We R Memory Keepers, and I also used some transparency as well, in the little frame, and ontop of the layout, I created 8 1/2 x 11 layout.

The Second layout was using flowers for spring, I did the layout on my mum, so I went all out and I love what I created, needless to say it is now hanging in my scraproom, with 3D flowers, gems and lots of rubons very dimensional.

And the Third thing was a little accordian Album, created from scratch, which was a heap of fun, I used Cherry Arte Papers, tags and rubons, with a few Kaiser Gems.

I also did a layout for Scrapbook City using Basic Grey Mellow Range, an adorable photo of Chaise, the little diecuts where so cute, and I created some trees to match, just super cute. Scrapbook City has the whole range of Basic Grey products, so you are sure to find something you like.

Well I would love see you in New Zealand so if you happen to be passing the Craft and Quilt Show please come and say hi, until I get home have a wonderful couple of weeks.

All the very best.
