Welcome to another week...and what an exciting week (well, for me anyway)....it is HOLIDAYS!!!!
It is so nice to know....sitting here on Sunday night that I don't have to get up and rush around to get to work in the morning.
Also this week is exciting because the Sydney Swans are in the 2012 AFL Grandfinal..we are all very excited here.

This week also finds me posting for Scrapbookit. Check out the sneak peek of my layout. Make sure you head on over to the blog to check what I have been up to.....why not enter your own entry to the challenge and whilst you are there do some shopping at the Scrapbookit online store! There is some wonderful inspiration from our DT and some great prizes up for grabs. Why not head over to the Scrapbookit Blog or the Scrapbookit Store to check out what is new at Scrapbookit. 
Have a great week everyone, GO SWANNIES!!!!

I'm back.....as promised 
to share some more of the things that have been happening in my scrapbooking world...

Not so long ago I received an unexpected email from the editor of the Caravan and Motorhome On Tour Magazine. She asked me if I could be part of a craft feature in their magazine.
Initially, I was gobsmacked. I actually thought someone was playing a practical joke on me and were having me on. After showing Jason he convinced me that maybe I should take the email seriously and reply to it.....which I did!
No, it was no joke. I then provided the magazine with lots of images and information for them to put together the feature which featured caravaners and motorhome travellers that crafted whilst on the road.

This is the feature (sorry about the pic!)

I hear you asking.....how did they know to contact me????
I had submitted and had accepted me layout 'Loved' to CK. The editor of this magazine knew that I had created that layout in our caravan whilst on holiday....she passed my name on.
Funny how things happen!

Last month's challenge at Scrapbookit saw me creating with Kaisercraft's Check In collection.
I made several bits and pieces with this collection and I still have heaps left over.
I created this Bon Voyage card for the card challenge...

For the second part of the month I created some Tags....

I was very excited to be able to create some layouts from our Thailand trip using this collection. I love how they came up. The first layout is of one of our most favourite activities whilst in Thailand....Elephant Ride.

The second layout is of my very cheeky little man at the age of 4. His first overseas holiday (hopefully of many in his lifetime), which he took in his stride...these photos were of him entertaining us at Singapore Airport.

Well, I hope this inspires you to pull out some photos that are hidden away and scrap till your hearts content.
Until next time,

Hello!
It has been such a long time since I last posted...but I have been doing HEAPS of creating!
To make up for it I am going to try and share something that I have been doing everyday over the next week.....lets see how I go!

I might start with the weekend just gone...
SCRAPBOOKIT RETREAT 2012
The weekend just gone saw the first retreat for Joanne and Scrapbookit. It was such a wonderful weekend. We stayed at the High Country Motor Inn, Bright and had an absolute ball. Here are some happy snaps....

We had an awesome weekend......looking forward to the next retreat in May 2013.
I did do a few of my own personal things at the retreat and was very impressed with what I produced....I will get back this week and share them with you.


If you haven't seen my latest post at Scrapbookit, why not pop over to the blog and spread some love. We love hearing your thoughts! Head to scrapbookitblog.blogspot.com


Can't wait to come back and share some more with you over the next few days....see you then.

What a busy holiday I have had. No where near as much scrapbooking done as I would have liked.
Back to work tomorrow.....
The June/July monthly challenge has just finished up at Scrapbookit. There have been some great entries, pop on over to the store gallery and check them all out.

I was lucky to be able to create lots of projects with the gorgeous Bo Bunny Collection "Little Miss." Here is what I created for the month...

I have been working on several projects for Scrapbookit in the last little bit. Projects that I can't share with you right now. One is for our August Retreat (which is booked out...but if you are interested in coming next year email your interest to [email protected]) and the others are for the July/August Challenge...the first of my layouts and cards will be revealed on Tuesday on the Scrapbookit Blog. So make sure you pop on over and check them out. The new challenge started today!

I hope you all have a lovely week especially all those heading back to work and school after the holidays. Welcome home to my sister, brother in law and beautiful nieces who arrive home tomorrow after 2 years in USA.

Hello All,
School holidays have arrived and the biggest term is over! Thank goodness :0)
What a way to start my holidays.....a visit to the Kaisercraft Warehouse in Geelong for the Kaisercraft Retailers Day. Thanks Jo for inviting me........I had an awesome day.
There are some lovely new ranges coming out over the next little bit so make sure you keep your eyes open. Today, we got a sneak peak at the new goodies and all of the wonderful work the Design Team at Kaisercraft have done. We got to spend time shopping in the warehouse and then spent some time scrapping with Melissa Kennedy.
A wonderful day - I was in heaven all day.

Speaking of scrapbooking heaven - have you popped on over to Scrapbookit lately. The DT are doing some awesome work with some beautiful paper collections.
I have recently posted my layout "Truly Divine" using the Bo Bunny Little Miss collection. It is so sweet and lots of fun to create with. check out the sneak peak above and then head on over to the Scrapbookit Blog to see the whole product and leave your comment (I love hearing what you think!). 
Until next time,

Make sure you pop over to Scrapbookit today to see my newest post. I have used Basic Grey's pb&j......Click here to check it out!

Welcome to a new week everyone! They are just flying past aren't they.....
Today (Monday) I have posted another layout using the Authentique Genuine Collection.
I would love you to pop on over and check it out. I have completed a DOUBLE layout - yes I know...a DOUBLE (very rare these days for me) but also I have completed a layout of my Dad and Brayden. 
Over the last little bit Dad has made a few passing comments about there being no layouts of him!!! There are actually others but thought I would tackle this one for him. 
Here is a sneak peek.....

Now make sure when you head over to Scrapbookit you check out all of the other layouts and cards and most importantly don't forget to leave a comment for me and let me know what you think. I love receiving your comments (good and bad).

What an awesome start to a HUGE week for me!!

I have a few little gifts that I have created to share with you.Brayden was extremely lucky to have two lovely teachers to start off his Grade 2 year. Mrs Lappin has decided to retire and Mrs O'Mahony has just had a new little baby boy!I didn't have a chance to create for them prior to the holidays so have done so over the holidays. For Mrs O'Mahony I have decorated a photo frame and for Mrs Lappin I have created a little box of handmade cards.
Check them out....

I hope they like their little gifts.
Have a great week everyone!
