It's another CC

CC weekend over at Chooks this weekend (though entries don't close until end of next weekend) so lots of challenges and fun to be had!!!

This month's theme is Rugby League... a sport I have absolutely no idea about!!!

But the challenges were fun.

Here are my samples...

There's also a card challenge but I never got a chance to get the sample done!

But I did manage to get the DT challenge done...
This month they gave us texture, blue or maroon (I went blue), 2 photos and an oval!

So now I'm off to cover some boxes for my little ink pads. I really needed them sorted into colours, so decided the little gift boxes were ideal!

I might need to take some updated pics of my studio now as I have redone the wet area as I added a few Distress stains, and I'm getting some distress markers next week... shhhhhh......

Stop this merry-go-round...

please... cause I want to get off!!!
I thought life was mean to slow down and get easier at some stage, but it seems to be one drama after another.
February has passed in a haze, with a trip to Perth to visit a neurologist and for an MRI (no answers) and Nicholas off to Victoria for their State Fire Brigade Championships... and this all happened in the same week!
So needless to say, the only scrapbooking I did was what I had to get done, and there were no photos of the day taken!
As it is I'm still trying to get my head around things....

Nicholas did very well at the Victorian State championships, coming home with a 1st (4 man event) and a 2nd in one of the individual events!
His 4 man team came 3rd in dry work, and 3rd overall, and the whole Esperance team came 8th overall.
I think they did well!!!! Sadly though it was Nicholas' last championships as a Junior, and as he's doing TEE this year, he's not doing seniors.
But onto the hockey!!!

Chookscraps had their cybercrop the weekend I went away with the theme being surfing.
I can't remember what the criteria were, but here are my sample layouts...

And of course, we had a DT challenge...

The March CC is coming up so guess I had better get busy and get the samples done for that.
Unfortunately I've been playing in my studio and rearranging and sorting yet again! All because I wanted a 'wet' area for painting, etc. (That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!)
There was also things that I had never really sorted so I'm getting stuck into getting them all done...

Another CC

It's another chooks cybercrop this weekend so of course I'm scrapping layouts.... I am meant to be doing journals....I'm decorating them on commission to sell in the shop. there'll only be 6 so I will share a pic when I'm all finished....

but onto the layouts...

Challenge 1



Alliteration in the title; stitching in some form either hand drawn, rubons or stitched; a photo smaller than 6x4 and distressing.
I'm still thinking this layout needs something but I'm not sure...

Challenge 2



Add something to the photo (I used rub ons); combination of flowers, buttons or brads (I used flowers and buttons); Black and brown colour scheme; and have something partially hidden.

Challenge 3



And this one we had to scraplift one of the lovely Niq's layouts as she is guest dt member this month at Chooks. I ended up lifting her challenge 2 layout, but I don't have a link.... but you can see it here...


Can you tell I'm really loving the Bo Bunny new Timepiece range.. perfect for heritage layouts.

Now I really should get those journals done....
