Still alive and kicking...

Wowsers time is flying!! I am nearing the end of my 2nd year of Uni and boy has it taken over our lives of late =/
We are all really missing the freedom that has been taken away due to commitments of study, both financial and time wise but we are half way there and will survive =)
However I have managed a couple of layouts in the last two weeks. The first was just a really quick one, simple lines, colours and embellies.
Yesterday's had me coming and going from the Diva Den in multiple, short visits (not how I usually scrap) and allowed me to experiment with my new product Gesso and new tool...a template! Oh how much fun I had and loved every lil bit I did!! Unfortunately my title is a lil bit difficult to read as it on the busy pattern from the template but it was fun trying.

The Cubby creating Clown, fighting huge gusts of wind...

Not sure why it has lost is quality but will check that and fix later =)

I also took a dive into my stash and committed myself to using a Heavenly Heart from Charms Creation! I have a number of her lil creations but never want to use them on just any page LOL. 

Ok more study to be done! 

So looking forward to a huge break over summer.... to scrap away =D

Last LO obligations for my position on Scrap Elegance's DT

Well my time as a member on Scrap Elegance's Design Team has come to an end but not without working with two really cute button designs =)

The first being very boy-like Pirate buttons but these pics of Miss M fitted too well!!

I have finally entered a Scrap the Girls challenge....

"The June Challenge is all about being OUTSIDE, using photos taken outside."

And my Mummy's Day was full of Matryoshka/Babushka Doll themed gifts, so these buttons were ideal for the story-telling on this page!!

Thank you Tenisha for seeing my potential and giving me my first DT position.

 I have thoroughly enjoyed the thrill of deadlines, these have helped me find a balance between my study time and craft time (most of the time LOL).

Off the study for an exam, the last task for this semester before my 3 week prac, exciting times!!

These lil "Simple" buttons in yellow and grey spot-

It hasn't been as long this time...

I have had a lil turn at scrapping over the last two weeks and already have another page planned (just need the photo op to show up)...

Keeping with the theme of catch up I have completed the kidlet's first official Kinder photos!!! Yes thank you very much, thank you!!

They are all similar with simple, clean lines. Now to start the 'getting ready for the first day' pics, it is never ending.....which is a good thing =)

Just a lil thank you to Charmane and her team at 123 Challenge, for acknowledging my entry  in the March challenge with words of encouragement and my first challenge prize...a voucher from Charms Creations!! 

So be prepared to see many LOs with the addition of these lil beauties!

On with the assignment writing only 3 weeks left of this semester, how time flies =)

TTFN

Oh My!!!

Finally a scrap turn, I have been HANGING to do a LO for sooo long (that is how it feels LOL)!! This sketch may just be appropriate.....

Daring You To Scrap

have posted this challenge and their DT takes are just gorgeous...

I have stuck right to the sketch design as I need it to provide new mojo, didn't want to feel like I was floundering for too long trying to get started!

Here is my take...

Yes there are some Charm's Creations there!!

I have also used Echo Pack Boy's Life card and element stickers, LilyBee card, Sassafras card...

twine and paperclips =)

Here's to more pages to come

Balance...

Who would have thought I would get a page done so quickly, especially with my Uni workload? Maybe I am in search of some BALANCE....

Nah just too many great challenges posted yesterday.....and most I could roll into one!!

1,2,3 Challenge's April elements are.....

COLOUR: MINT

WORD: BELIEVE

TECHNIQUE: BEADS

I have been wanting to use these October Afternoon letters for ages, this covered mint along with the Bella! paper, safety pin, Family tile and journalling blocks.

I have strung some wooden beads on to my twine for the tag, keeping it really natural.

And the word 'Believe' is one that you can always incorporate into a family pic =)

I have used a sketch that has been post by Purple Pumpkin that I was going to wait to until after I received all my wonderful goodies from my huge and generous win, but I couldn't wait. With a little flip around I was able to place the printed Crate Paper photo backing beautifully, this is such a fun piece of paper! 

But wouldn't you know it I was stuck for a title.....again!

AND THEN....Polly! posted her April Challenge..... that also uses a mint colour, tree embellishment and the phrase that is just perfect for this pic!

How lucky am I!! 

Ok back to the books...=/ don't want to as I want to get stuck into Daring You to Scrap's

April's challenge....a Page Map sketch, which I fell in love with the other day!

Scrap often!!
