Something Fishy???

I spent Melbourne Cup Day scrapbooking! What's up with that? Usually I would be out to a lovely ladies luncheon, but all my friends were working this year.

Anyway, it was a nice productiveday- the first day I've felt like creating in a LONG time. A layout for each of my boys of their first Charter boat Fishing Adventure. I was inspired by a class I took with Skye Johnson as a fundraiser for Breast Cancer.

Some good news

after a sad month with my Dad passing away, I finally have some good news to share. I have a card and an ATC published in this month's edition of Scrapbook news and review.

I also heard I have had an ATC accepted for publication in the next issue. I haven't been feeling very creative lately, so this is just a great boost.

Shabby chic challenge

My gorgeous friend Chris has set a new challenge at Born2Create. Check out the details here. Entry is open to international and Australian scrappers and cardmakers. Entries close October 20th.

The sun is out! & October Card class sneak peek

Here's a sneak peek of my "Think Pink" themed cards for my October classes I'm teaching at made with Memories in Rockingham. I'm teaching 6 classes next month. It's going to be a busy time with lots of new techniques and fun getting inky. Until then, I'm having a week off enjoying the School holidays.

It's been a beautiful day here in W.A. I sat outside and finished my book and am halfway thru another. Lovely way to spend the Queen's Birthday public holiday.

Yay! I'm being published.

One of my scrapbook pages was accepted for publication at Scrapbook News and Review magazine, They are having a special 12 hour sneak peek this weekend where you can look at the magazine online for 12 hours only from Saturday 8.30pm EST- to Sunday 8.30am. That's the US timezone which I know is 12 hours different from me in Western Australia. Please check it out by clicking on the magazine tab.

Teen grunge collage

Love this page I made from a Kit by Deb Mitchell. My Mr "Almost 15" is looking so handsome with his hair longer (yes I'm a proud Mum!). I tried out the barbed wire doodling I saw in a tutorial somewhere. I'll get back to you with a link if you are interested.
