New Challenges...

Hello everyone,

Hope you all had a lovely Easter break! It sure was good to spend time with all my boys! We went away for a few days, didn't do anything exciting but the weather was PERFECT and so was our time together...:))

Last week I did manage to do a few layouts, some new challenges...well not new new but new to me...have never done these ones before.  Had lots of fun...which is the main thing hey!

Here they are:

Anna's Craft Cupboard

Just love Anna's shop...always stalking to see what new things she has in stock...and I have always promised myself and Wendy to try one of Wendy's awesome sketches!!

Here is the sketch....


A moment captured between 2 brothers....have no idea what they were talking about but just love these photos and I am glad I captured the moment.  Photos taken last winter...man time flies hey!



And the 2nd new challenge for me was this....

Bird is the Word

Using the word FOREVER...
had this perfect little diecut which I just HAD to use...


Love this little lime green PURPLE PUMPKIN doiley...


A bit of distressing, inking and scrunching in those layouts...loving that at the moment!

Well its nearly the end of ANOTHER month...!!!???
Just a reminder in case you haven't done these challenges or you are looking for something to do...lol!!

  • KRAFT IT UP.... 54321 challenge...see details HERE

  • STUCK SKETCHES?!....2 gorgeous sketches....see details HERE

  • WHITE WITH 1.... White + Olive Green + Twine...see details HERE
Speaking of White With 1...I have decided not to reapply for another 6 months on the Creative Team :( :( I have thoroughly enjoyed every challenge that Mel has thrown us, and working alongside such a great bunch of talented ladies.  But I am looking forward to hopefully playing along each month!

Thanks heaps Mel for having me on the Creative Team. 

Well that's it for me today...hope you are having a very enjoyable day :) :)
