LO's to share

Some scrappy love to share..
12 x 12 LO's

good times

Last night I also created these LO's for the White with one Blog.

I wanted to do something with the pic of Lisa & I taken recently at a bonfire night at the lovely Pam's place. We had a ball that night!



I also wanted to remember another bonfire night (no, it's not a theme!) at my Mother in Law's place when our niece Natalie intriduced us to her daughter Claudia. I especially loved these moments caught with Robert.. 3 Generations..



Hope you like!

My latest creation..

I found it! It's back! My Mojo has returned.. and with it my desire to scrap scrap scrap.

Last night I spread out on the dining room table, and scrapped this page of my lovely Sister Kate on her 30th Birthday. It was such a great night, and I loved creating this page to remember it by. I had a ball!

This page is for the sketch blog http://stucksketches.blogspot.com I guess I got in quick!

Thanks to Louise to posting this awesome blog on facebook - lovin' it!

Grandmotherly Glamour

I thought I would do some scrapping, and actually get a LO done.. I have had these pics of my Gorgeous Grandmother Margaret Nesbit (we call her "Mardi") for a while, and wanted to scrap them. These are shots when she was modelling in her 20's, and she was just so beautiful. Amazingly enough, she doesn't like the pictures, and gets very embarrased when I asked to see them, but I hope she will like what I have done with them.

They are very like her, and to me, she hasn't changed a bit since then. She is beautiful inside and out, and I adore and look up to her.

What do you think?

Update from me

Well, it has been far too long since my last post, almost 3 months! Time does fly..
I guess things have been a little hectic of late. We have enrolled Emily for next year into Kindergartern at Central Coast Grammar School (so yes, we will be poor for the next 13 years.. then Uni after that.. sigh..)


I went to the Craft Show at Newcastle on the weekend with the lovely Lisa (aka Scrapwitch) we spent too much money, but had a ball. Here's a pic from the day, courtesy of Lisa's blog :)




I have been working on my resume, as with the Westpac / ST George merger (we are now the 4th biggest bank in the world!), everyone in my State has to reapply for their jobs, YUK! SO wish me luck, it's very nerve racking.

I have been a bit slack taking pics of my scrapping of late, most of it has been CJ's.. I have just been so busy!

But I did win the January sketch challenge for a card I made over at the SM forum, which was a nice surprise..

So take care, and my thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by the bushfires. Stay safe xoxoxo

I am still alive!!

Hello All,

I have been a bit AWOL of late, but that's just because I have been super busy with work, and actually having a social life..lol.. I have 2 weddings coming up in the next 3 weeks (My lovely Brother in Law Cameron to his Gorgeous Fiancee' Becky) and also a very old (he's not so old, I have only known him a long time..) friend Shaun to his fabulous Fiancee' Lesley. I have had the 2 hens nights which were BLAST, and now we are waiting for the big day..

Anyhoo, with St George (who own my employer Asgard) merging with Westpac, as you can imagine, things have been a bit manic on the work front. I have spent 4 out of the past 10 nights in Canberra, so have been super busy.

I will upload some work soon...
