Miss Nelly...

Just a quick post to share some projects using Miss Nelly...

I had fun playing with the cards... I really love using the papers that come with the quotes as a centrepiece for cards. It makes them really quick and easy to make and for someone who is not a cardmaker, they're great inspiration!




And here is another layout I did using this range...



and some detail...



I've been doing a lot of scrapping these last couple of weeks but can't share sorry. All DT work for next month for Kaiser (you will absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the new ranges!) and I've been doing the samples for my classes at Hyden... that's been a lot of fun!!!!
But don't you just hate it when you cut a piece of paper wrong and you only have the 1 piece!!!!!
oh well....

Hunt & Gather

This range was really up my alley... the greens and browns suit boys perfect, but that's not the layout I did...
On the way back from Perth recently I played with the the camera in the car, and took some photos I'm really happy with.
One of them with the photo I used in this layout, The Long Road Home.
And yes it is a long road too...



And here are some detail pics...





I think I will be putting this range through its paces when I get more time... !

I also made a couple of cards too... it's great for the masculine cards!




Head on over to the Kaisercraft blog to see what the other girls have been up to with this range!

I had better head back to the desk and finish the projects I'm in the middle of as I'm meant to have french doors installed where my desk sits next week so I have to pack up my scrapping stuff out of the way...
On the plus side, it means there's a good chance I will get a bigger space as I will probably be moving into the garage!!!!

A busy little vegemite...

I've been doing a lot of creating but only some I can share....
I've been working on projects for Kaisercraft for September. Trying to get ahead of things but somehow it doesn't seem to be working... go figure!
I've got 3 projects done, just have to get 4 more done, and then my classes for the retreat... I'm so excited about it...just have to get the work done and I'm nervous but I really can't wait!

But I have done some layouts I can share...

The first is the current round of the Chooks Amazing Race... this time we're visiting Vietnam, and we had to use the colours of red and yellow and follow a sketch.
This is my take using Basic Grey Ambrosia...



The photos were taken when we were in Carnarvon a couple of years ago.

And Chookscraps is also running a cybercrop this weekend, so I decided to have a break from dt commitments, and have some fun...
This month's theme is the movies of Dustin Hoffman for the first 2 challenges, one being Rainman and the other Kung Fu Panda...



This one was for Rainman and had to include a talent, numbers (but not the date), hearts/spades/clubs or diamonds, and 2 flowers. Jonathan's talent... breaking hearts!



This one was for Kung Fu Panda.... 50% black and/or white (for the panda), 5 things (I've got 5 kids in the photo), the word "nothing" somewhere on the layout and either a chinese symbol, or word in another language.
I've kept my layout very very simple, but I really love it!

And the third challenge was a scraplift from one of the winners of the rounds of the Chooks Amazing Race.



I lifted this layout of Geraldine's from Round 5.

So now it's time to get stuck into some more dt projects... I do have to tell you though, you will ABSOLUTELY LOVE the new releases from Kaisercraft next month!!!
And hopefully I'll be back this week with some of the layouts I've done for this month for Kaisercraft!

Take a look...

at this....



I've been asked to teach at the retreat... now I'm scared!
I've never taught a class before so I'm nervous as hell... now I just have to get the classes sorted out!

I've been told it's a lot of fun, so if you're interested and in WA, go and check it out here and contact Karen....

I know...

I've been quiet and haven't shared any more projects, but it's been a busy week.

I travelled to Perth again on the weekend with the boys so Nicholas could try out for the State U15 hockey team. He missed out on the squad, but he's really happy with the way he played and as far as we're concerned he's a champion.
Now he can spend the rest of the season concentrating on his local games, instead of worrying about travelling to Perth every week for training.

Because we were away, I haven't had a chance to do any scrapbooking, but I do have a Miss Nelly layout to share with you that appeared on the Kaisercraft blog last week.
We've had problems with the blog and uploading of photos so hopefully it will get fixed and all will be back on track shortly and you will see more gorgeous projects from the girls using Miss Nelly and Hunt and Gather!

But here is my layout...

Let's go caravanning....



Just thought I would pop in and share my Carnarvon album made with the new release Hunt and Gather.
Love this paper range which will match a great range of different layouts.

Some of you have seen this one over on the Kaisercraft blog, but here's some closer detail shots.













and if you haven't headed over to the Kaisercraft blog yet, you'd better do so and leave some comments to go in the draw to win a September sample pack... trust me... it'll be gorgeous!

That is an absolutely awesome achievement... being one of the top 40 players in his age group!!!!
We are so very very proud of him....
