  • Best laid plans

    Well I was gonna scrap today but it never happened. I ended up doing housework this morning after sleeping in til 10am. then went out to the scrap room and decided to end up doing some cleaning up. found a nifty feature on my phone camera –  a panorama setting!

    so here’s a couple of pics I took while out there.

    yup it’s a mess…… but it is slowly getting there. just need to finish painting the walls, get some curtains & put up some shelving.

  • Some new layouts

    The last of the music madness challenges – Disco

    We Dare Ya Layout 8 – Healing

    and a sketch box done last nite as part of a class taken by Kayla. I totally LOVE how this turned out. Might have to make a couple more for gifties. & I’ve decided I’m in lurve with BG Two Scoops. & I have an obsession with Kindyglitz lol.

    That’s all for tonight. I’m off to listen to the rest of the football. Go the Hawks!!

  • The amazing scraproom adventure P2

    Well parts of the room are painted & 99% of my stash is put away & semi organised. I’m loving having my own creative space.

    Still have to paint the remaining walls, get some curtains, put up shelving & add ‘me’ touches.

    Here’s a couple of pics I took this morning. It looks more organised now.

    The fence is almost done too. The boys will finish it off tomorrow 🙂

  • Easter Plans

    (or The Great Scraproom Adventure Pt1)

    So what are your Easter plans? I gots 4 days off work so my plans involve working in my scraproom (while the boys fix our back fence)

    That’s pretty much it. Oh & eating Easter eggs (pref Cadbury Creme Eggs plz)

    So here’s a before pic (note the lovely wall paper – it’s gone now)

    and this is what it currently looks like (yup it looks like a paper explosion happened lol)

    Stuff pretty much got dumped in here in boxes when we moved. I started to organise it but keep getting sidetracked by life (& scrapping) so I am gonna get stuck in over Easter & will keep you all updated as I go 🙂

    TFL!!

  • OTP, Art Journals & Cyber crops

    Got the OTP challnge at Mystical Scrapbooks done. The challenge was to alter a mint tin BUT the tin had to serve a purpose.

    Here’s my first (yup I’m making two) – a change tin.

    Two cyber crops last night, one for ScrapWorld & one for Mystical Scrapbooks. Only got one LO finished thou. I’ve decided I am doing an art journal this year (after buying one last year & not doing it lol)

    One of the MS challenges was to create a page that shared our 2008 resolutions. The page had to include a pic of ourself, journaling in list form, use black, white & one other colour (I chose purple) & some bling. So anywho I’ve made this my first page of my 2008 AJ.

    Still have to scrap a blurry pic (& use 10 brads min), a page with purple pics, a page about a game & a page about my scraproom. Fairly easy as I have ideas for all of them. Will share pics later & update the great scraproom adventure 😉

  • The Great Scrap Room Adventure

    (originally posted on my personal blog)

    So I have a room. I’m going to use this room from scrapbooking. I’m going to blog about my adventures in setting up & organising this room. Along the way I’ll share pics, layouts & hints & tips.

    ATM I scrap on our kitchen table, only real problem with this is hubby & his mates also use said table of a weekend to play D&D, so your’s truely has to clean up the table every Saturday. Anywho, there is a room on the back of our garage that I’m gonna turn into my scrap room/cropping space (so I can have friends over to scrap). Only real problem atm this room out the back has no net connection, that & my computer for out there (yeah I own two computers – we have 5 working computers plus a laptop & numerous non working computer at our place – hubby’s into computers) is sitting in bits cause I needed a hard drive for another project (yup I’m a computer nerd ;))

    Will post before pics on Saturday. Feel free to share pics of ur room or any sites you think are helpful.
