"That's not real scrapbooking" I used to think.<br />
<br />
But with my kids growing up, way too fast....they are 12 and 9 now...I just don't have the<br />
spare time that I used to have. Sport, Band and lots of before and after school training and band sessions have taken over. Life is crazy at the moment.<br />
<br />
So a few months ago, I was in Spotlight and they had a 40% off sale.<br />
I thought "Why not?"...I'll give it a go! <br />
<br />
I took it away on a Retreat back in May. I worked away diligently and <br />
can I say I think I am well and truly hooked!<br />
Being a time poor scrapper these days I can get a page done in next to no time.<br />
I can still document my families life, to look back on in years to come and have some<br />
creative time, all for me at the same time. Loving that!<br />
<br />
Along with that, I'm trying to have some "me" time each weekend, even if only for a few hours!<br />
I think it's reignited my passion. I needed that!<br />
<br />
I'm currently working on everyday moments from our year last year, 2014!<br />
I'm into April already and loving it!<br />
<br />
So, I thought I'd share a page with you.<br />
<br />
This is the Wedding of my beautiful long time friend, Catherine to her now hubby David.<br />
Catherine and I met way back in 1994, from memory. I was a 3rd Year Hairdressing Apprentice<br />
and she started as our 1st Year Apprentice at Betite Hair Salon. We hit it off immediately and<br />
have been through highs and lows, watched our children grow and get married.<br />
She's a lifetime friend!<br />
<br />
Catherine and David got married out in the country in January. It ended being the hottest<br />
day in Jan 2014, with it hitting 43 degrees out there. God, it was hot!<br />
But, it didn't matter...the lovely ceremony by the Lake kept us cool, before a few drinks,<br />
dinner and some dancing. It was a fabulous night to remember.<br />

I'm still coming to terms with writing 2015 on everything and the fact that my eldest starts High School this year. Eekkk!<br />
<br />
Anyway, this past weekend I joined in a Cyber crop over at <a href="http://d-lishscraps.openstores.com.au/">Delish Scraps</a>. First time I have ever joined in with them. I was a little bit limited with photos as I left my Hard Drive full of photos over at my father-in-laws place at Christmas time. Damn. Luckily we are heading to his place for the long weekend so I can grab it and I'll be back in action again.<br />
<br />
Anyway, Wendy had a sketch challenge that I had a photo for so I had a play.<br />
This was the sketch.<br />

This is my Dad holding a little fish. My whole family was on holidays in Hervey Bay and we all went fishing out the jetty. Dad caught this little fella and the joke was, if you stretch it, it'll look bigger!<br />
Then he joked that the kids should kiss him before throwing him back, like Rex Hunt does.<br />
They didn't think that was a very good idea! Lol. Sweet memories.<br />
<br />
Here's a few closeups.<br />

<br />
After having a go at Scrap the Girls, I thought I'd best look at <a href="http://scraptheboys.blogspot.com.au/">Scrap the Boys</a> Challenge blog. This month it is a sketch and I liked it. Lots you can do with this one.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So, I dug through my older photos in my stash and came across this one. I took it last December in our backyard. Zac and his good mate Ethan, who have been friends since Prep, way back in 2008. They now attend different schools but are still good mates. It's a lovely friendship.<br />
<br />
I took the photo with my Fuji Instax Polaroid camera. I love that thing. Very cool! I really like this photo. It makes me smile.<br />
<br />
Here's my layout based on the sketch...<br />

It's been quite some time since I pulled out the paper and glue, but to have time to unleash some creativity is always good for the soul. I've missed it, although with our busy life I didn't know I had.<br />
<br />
I hopped on <a href="http://scrap-the-girls.blogspot.com.au/">Scrap the Girls</a> Challenge blog to get some inspiration.<br />
To say I was pleasantly surprised is an understatement. Beautiful soft, feminine colours with a touch of sparkle. I loved it all.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tNmNdmAYHr8/VJPBxYN_s6I/AAAAAAAAIaI/3WrloRgHnyo/s1600/10314690_693258874044372_5748465008762511322_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tNmNdmAYHr8/VJPBxYN_s6I/AAAAAAAAIaI/3WrloRgHnyo/s1600/10314690_693258874044372_5748465008762511322_n.jpg" height="225" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
So, I dug through my stash of photos and thought this one of Ella, when she was about 4 or 5 was perfect. Colours suited the look and style too.<br />
<br />
So, this is what I came up with...<br />
<br />

<br />
Even though I'm not a <a href="http://scraptheboys.blogspot.com.au/">Scrap the Boys</a> Team member anymore, I still love scrapping
along.<br />
This month's challenge was to scrap <b>Something New</b> about the boy/man in your life!<br />
<br />
The boy child in our house has been begging for a PS3 and the game "Call of Duty"<br />
or "COD".
He's played it at his mates place and has been saving for quite some time.<br />
Santa decided he
wouldn't bring it as Zac was so close to achieving that goal.<br />
The Christmas money he received
from family got him there. To say he was estatic,<br />
was an understatement!
Home it came and he's loved playing it!
Kept him occupied<br />
for short stints at a time and he's even played with his sister.
They both like playing it,<br />
as does Dad. I can play on my scrap desk right near them(in the rumpus room)
and<br />
everyone is happy! Loving that!<br />
<br />
So, Zac's "something new" is his PS3 and COD!<br />
<br />
I played with my Dylusions inks again to draw the circle. Again using the<br />
spray nozzle
and getting this result. I like it.
I'm not sure what's going on<br />
with me and purple of late but it's featuring again.
Mainly because Zac's shirt<br />
was purple and our lounge is blue.<br />
<br />
I used my Stampin' Up
water crayons to create the blue and purple effect.<br />
I added some doodling and a few rubons
to the circle to finish it off.<br />
I added a few splatters with my Dylusions inks using black and london blue.<br />
I also used a
turquoise mist I already had. Let it dry a little before adding some<br />
Gesso and a circle template.
Let it dry overnight then added my photo, washi tape<br />
and my journalling.
Simple layout but quite effective.<br />
<br />
Promise my new next layout won't have any purple on it.
It's going to be a bright one.<br />
Just waiting for it to dry!<br />
<br />
Here's my layout...<br />

I've been playing with my Dylusions inks of late, so decided to give them a go with<br />
this challenge. I unscrewed the lid and used the sprayer hose...the bit inside the ink<br />
to create this background. I saw <a href="http://youtu.be/csaGUySSHYY">Dyan Reaveley's video</a> about using your ink like<br />
a drawing tool.<br />
<br />
I used that idea to create a strip,sort of like a firework.
Then I flicked it around to make<br />
the splotches!
Loved the result!
Left it to dry, then ran my sewing machine up and down<br />
with black cotton and a few across bits too.
Added my photo, lettering, journalling, a few<br />
bits of paper and washi, so not as to cover too much of my background.
I also used some<br />
very old rub ons that you can see near the stitching. Some splotches in black.<br />
<br />
My handmade item is the diamond looking page pebble that I made a few years ago but<br />
had never used.
On it went, along with the "funny" pebble. Makes me laugh when I<br />
see this pic, as we had such a
fun time on New Years!<br />
<br />
Lastly, time for sequins. I never use them on layouts, so why not?<br />
Best part was I had them in the colours I needed!<br />
<br />
So, here's my layout...<br />

We had to choose a word for 2014 and scrap a layout about that word.<br />
I chose "Success".<br />
<br />
I turn 40 this year and I want to be fabulous at 40!<br />
A few kg's have slipped on since my lowest weight so I am determined<br />
to get them off
and a few more before my 40th Birthday in November!<br />
I can do it!<br />
<br />
This was my inspiration!<br />

I LOVE the Rock...aka Dwayne Johnson! I saw this on his Facebook page<br />
and had to use it. It was perfect!<br />
This picture is now pride of place on my wall next to my PC.<br />
Any time I'm tempted or haven't excercised that day, I have The Rock<br />
glaring down on me! Motivation enough? I think so.<br />

Creatively, this layout was a lot of fun.<br />
Started with white cardstock and used texture paste with the chevron template.<br />
Once dry, I used "Postbox Red" and "Lemon Zest" Dylusions inks with water<br />
to get the background runny and merging together. Waited for it to dry.<br />
Then got out my white paint and a credit card and smooshed it over the<br />
centre of my layout, as well as the chevrons. Used my finger a little too to<br />
smoosh it around. Then flicked some more "Postbox Red" over the top to<br />
add some more colour. LOVE IT!!!!<br />
<br />
I need to use these inks more often. Love the effect they give.<br />
Bold and vibrant colour...delish!<br />

<br />
This is my last Scrap the Boys Design Team layout.<br />
I'm stepping down at the end of this year. Mainly to have a break.<br />
I've been on this team for about 2 years, so it's time to give someone else a turn.<br />
<br />
I have loved scrapping with these fabulously talented girls on this team.<br />
A big thank you to Mel Heather for giving me a go and to Wendy Smith for taking it<br />
over this year
and doing a wonderful job running it. Again, Thank you!<br />
<br />
So, this month's challenge is to create a layout about the boys in our lives<br />
and celebrate Christmas!<br />
The theme is:<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">All I want for Christmas </span></span><br />
<br />
I actually used this as the title of my layout and scrapped about what our<br />
10yr old, Zac would like...
A playstation 4 apparently!<br />

<br />
This month, you have to create a layout about...
<b> </b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: lime;"><b>MANS BEST FRIEND</b> </span></span><br />
<br />
This challenge can be literal (so you man/boy BEST FRIEND) or you can think<br />
outside the box and go
with something they love like their car or remote.<br />
You can also use the traditional Man’s Best Friend
of a DOG…<br />
the options are wide and varied.<br />
<br />
I decided to scrap about my husband Jason's love for his dirt bike.<br />
Sometimes I think he loves it more than me?<br />
Seemed perfect for this challenge.<br />
<br />
I used lots of texture paste with my hexagon template, white paint,<br />
a green inkpad, stamped some images over my background and then started layering.<br />
Seems I am leaning to more a messy look these days. <br />

I didn't have a lot of patterned papers in green and blues that suited my photo.<br />
So, I created a washi tape border around my photo. Quite like the look of it.<br />
I even tore some of the washi to create a different look.<br />
<br />
Love this coolour combo, but actually don't scrap it often.<br />
Having a boy, you'd think I would? <br />
It was a good challenge for me!<br />
<br />
Be sure to upload your layout to the Linky tool by midnight on<br />
October 31st...Halloween!<br />

First time it's been held here.<br />
It began at the Botanical Gardens and did a loop around Southbank and back to the gardens.<br />
It's a nice little 5km loop. The Glow Run isn't like a regular run.<br />
It's non-competitive,
not timed but lots of fun.<br />
There are Glow Zones set up about 1km apart and they have DJ's that you can dance at.<br />
Very cool and very fun!<br />
<br />
Here's some photos from the night...<br />

Kept me occupied while I was watching the footy!<br />
<br />
I had a look at the Challenge blogs and loved the latest challenge,<br />
over at <a href="http://showusyourstuff.blogspot.com.au/">Show us your stuff</a>.
Red and White...It was calling my name!<br />
My favourite colour!!<br />
<br />
It also requires to use a handmade item.
I made these cute washi tape feathers<br />
a while ago so decided to use them.
I LOVE how this layout all came together.<br />
Very minimal, with some of my favourite things...washi tape, paint, ink and texture paste!!<br />
<br />
Here's my layout, using some photo booth pics I took on my Iphone about<br />
12mths ago now!
They make me laugh!!<br />

If you're like me, you'll have a ton of them.<br />
<br />
I actually took this photo of my son Zac and his good mate Cooper,<br />
when they had the Brisbane Ekka Show holiday
off from school just recently.<br />
They begged me to take them down to the Basketball Court to shoot some hoops!!<br />
They both play in the same School Basketball team - 5B's!<br />
Love this pic of them both in action!<br />

I used some very old Kaisercraft patterned paper.<br />
It matched the boys t-shirts, so I ran with it!<br />
Then I went a bit crazy with paint, tape and doodling!!<br />

No school sport due to the Ekka break meant that I even got to sleep in!<br />
The boys decided to head down to the Footy Club this afternoon,<br />
so I jumped at the chance to
do some scrapping!<br />
<br />
I looked at the <a href="http://scrap-the-girls.blogspot.com.au/">Scrap the Girls</a> Challenge blog and really liked the recipe challenge for August!<br />
<br />
<u>We had to use:</u><br />
masking<br />
doodling<br />
flowers<br />
chipboard or wood veneers<br />
<br />
So, I decided to make my own mask.
I cut the circles out of a scrap piece of 12x12 and used that! Just love how this page turned out!<br />
<br />
Especially adore this photo of my gorgeous girl!<br />

My eldest is now 10...double figures!<br />
<br />
How did that happen?<br />
I can recall very clearly the day he arrived into this world!<br />
Seems like yesterday. How time flies...<br />
<br />
Here he is blowing out his candles while away on holidays<br />
in Hervey Bay recently!<br />

New month = New Challenge over at <a href="http://scraptheboys.blogspot.com.au/">Scrap the Boys</a>!<br />
<br />
This month you are to create a monochromatic layout using just one colour,<br />
as well as incorporating twine and chipboard.
Sound like fun?<br />
<br />
I dug out an older pic of Zac.
He was about 5 or 6 in this pic.<br />
Seeing he's 10 now, he's changed a bit!<br />
<br />
Here's my layout...<br />

many Strawberry Farms on the Sunshine Coast. We picked <a href="http://strawberryfields.com.au/">Strawberry Fields</a><br />
at Palmview, just near the Ettamoggah Pub.<br />
<br />
We arrived to carparks brimming full and swarms of people around.<br />
Apparently this strawberry picking thing is quite popular!<br />
<br />
So, we headed for the patch to pick out some big red juicy strawberries!<br />

Portrait pic
of a male. The rest was up to us!<br />
Great opportunity to snap some new pics of Zac.<br />
<br />
I rarely use black and white photos these days.
Not sure why?<br />
Just prefer colour more, I think?<br />

Doesn't happen often enough these days!<br />
<br />
So, I checked out the Challenge blogs and really liked the<br />
<a href="http://kraftitup.blogspot.com.au/">Kraft It Up</a>
Challenge for this month.<br />
<br />
The Challenge was to create a "Project Life" style layout,<br />
documeting the every day.
Since we've just been up to Hervey Bay<br />
last week, I had lots of new pics to use!<br />
<br />
A fun week filled with lots of sweet memories!<br />

We headed off last weekend to the beautiful City of Hervey Bay.<br />
It's about 3hrs north of Brisbane.<br />
<br />
My nephew Mike is currently trying to get his driving hours up.<br />
My sister Kellie always feels it's a white knuckle ride, so she came with us!<br />
<br />
Thank god for Ipads is all I can say!<br />

I'd only ever been to Hervey Bay once and it was a year ago and for a funeral.<br />
Not nice circumstances, but loved what we saw in that very short time.<br />
So, we went up for a 5 day break. No firm plans, but to check out the place and<br />
watch my
SIL's nephew Sam play in the State Rugby League Carnival. He lives<br />
in Cairns and by sheer fluke
the carnival was in Hervey Bay!<br />
So, a game of footy a day was in order!<br />
<br />
Our apartment was across the road from this gorgeous beach. It became our<br />
daily routine to walk up the beach. This was late Sunday afternoon, overcast<br />
and cool.<br />

This kid just loves playing on the beach. Wasn't impressed it was too cold to swim!<br />
But had fun playing near the water anyway. <br />

Monday saw us head to the Go-Kart track for a bit of fun!<br />
I'll admit, we're all a bit competitve! So, this was going to<br />
be like playing for Cattle Stations! Lol.<br />
<br />
Brought back my inner bogan and Go-Kart Racing days from my early 20's!<br />
LOVED it!!! <br />

We watched plenty of footy. Sam played every day around lunchtime.<br />
The footy fields were't far from where we stayed.<br />
He's from Cairns, so he captained and played for Peninsula.<br />
His team finished 3rd in the U12 Rugby League State Championships.<br />
He was then picked for the Probables vs Possibles Game.<br />
He made the Probables Team, the No.13 in yellow.<br />

She asked me a little while ago, if I'd like to play with oe of the new Stampin' Up<br />
This And That Journal's.
It's a fabulous kit with matching papers, stickers and washi tape.<br />
<br />
After pondering what I'd do in the Journal, I decided to use some of the pics from my<br />
Hong Kong trip!
Can you believe that the colours matched perfectly. Now, anyone that<br />
knows me, knows I'm a matchaholic!!
Love it when it just works!<br />

I had lots of fun playing with this gorgeous Journal.<br />
I've added only a few extras...paint, Prima letters, twine and a few buttons.<br />
Everything else comes in the kit!<br />
<br />
Thanks for asking me to play with it for you, Lou!<br />

Zac had never played rugby before. He's always played AFL.<br />
So given the chance to try something new, he jumped at it!<br />
<br />
He's loved every minute of playing rugby this year.<br />
From the wonderful friendships he's made, to learning all the new<br />
rules,
how to tackle, maul and all that goes with it!<br />
I think he'll be back next year!<br />
<br />
Sadly, today wasn't the positive finish. We got smashed by Marist.<br />
They were the better side on the day!<br />
<br />
Here's a few photos from today...<br />

She asked us to create a look with colour...from dark to light.<br />
We could create it any way we liked.
I chose washi tape to create my Ombre look.<br />
I found this cute pic of Ella, from whe she was about 5,
so a little while ago.<br />
Seeing she turns 8 in a few months!<br />
<br />
While on Retreat, two of my lovely friends introduced me to Dylusions inks.<br />
I'd seen them on blogs and on layouts but had never played with them.<br />
I've been converted!!!! Bright, bold, vibrant inks...right up my alley!!<br />
Needless to say...I've bought about 10 different colours since the Retreat!<br />
<br />
I've always loved my paint and these inks have me seeing colour in a whole new light!!<br />
Broke out the templates and texture paste too...NEW ADDICTION ALERT!!<br />
<br />
So, I've used the washi tape down the side, starting with the darker pink and down<br />
to a
mid pink then a light pink. Then I went nuts with the texture paste and<br />
hexagonal template
before adding paint and inks! LOVE!!<br />

It's a good way to use them up!<br />
