Blind Scrap LO and a little bit of Canvas Work!

This is working with Teresa Collin's Canvas...

I've got a Step by Step on how to create this at

SCRAP THERAPY

And here's the result of the Blind Scrap I held at Scrap Therapy too.

You can find it here

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEAGHAN!!

LET'S GET SHABBY Challenge #23

You can find the Let's Get Shabby criteria

here

And here's my sample LO

This was me!

The sponsor is SCRAP THERAPY

AND

speaking of Scrap Therapy,

I'm hosting a Blind Scrap there

(Easter Tuesday, 26th April, at 8pm - Sydney time)

you can find the details here

If you'd like to join us you will need:

for an Easter LO:

1 portrait 6x4 photo

I've cut the figure out of mine - but the full pic is great too!

3 double-sided papers -

You will use both sides of each, one needs to be quite dark as this will be your border. The others I have a mix of plain side and muted patterns in pastels. If you dont want to do double-sided, then have 3 single papers and scraps. All in all they need to work all together pattern and colour-wise to your taste.

Trims and laces

These need to vary in length between 8-10inches. How many doesnt matter but when laid out horizontally, one under the other, the depth should be about 4 1/2inches.

2 lengths of string or twine 

 approx 11 inch and 12 inch

Alpha or title

Mine is a chipboard title of 'Happy Easter' which I painted beforehand

5 small buttons

Embellies

Choose what will go with our LO, I've got a little bunny and chicken diecut (cut from a cricut I think) and a journaling spot if you dont want to write directly onto your LO.

Distresser

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Another big day here today!

Paige marched with her Grandpa (who is next to her) in the ANZAC parade today

She wore her great great grandfathers medals and marched for him.

HAPPY EASTER!!!!

Here's our Easter Morning!!

The table was set and among our family tradition of the big breakfast

We sat, ate, laughed with my parents as well,

and a last meal with Meaghan who left not long after breakfast to move to London, England to live.

It was a bitter sweet time....

This above was the tidy table!!! LOL!

Then there was the Egg Hunt!

Never too old!

And just as grandparents and the girls were lining up for a photo,

Maggie (our bird) flew over to be in the pic too! She wont miss out!

and once inside at the table...

Paige and Grandma

Meaghan with Grandpa and Grandma

One lucky bunny among the eggs!

Way toooo full to move!!!!

My annual pic!

Maggie wont miss out!

She had fun amongst the easter eggs rolling them about

Time to say Good-Bye

And off to England she goes...

No pics of me..... I'm the one who takes the photos

and I'm the one who is the mess...

Sigh......

England is too far away.

Hope you all are having a wonderful Easter!

My last day away!  I'm finally going home tomorrow with work finished and holidays starting!!

YAY!

PLAYING CATCH-UP!

This past week I've been working in Sydney and tomorrow flying onto Brisbane until Good Friday. I'll be so pleased to get home to my family and get back into my own bed!

Oh my gosh... my sore feet!  My mantra in my mind lately has been 'Im too old for this'! LOL!

Anyway, before I left I had to prepare so many DT works to be ready for reveals while away so that was another race against the clock! 

I'm look forward to having this weekend off to catch up on some blog hopping and chatter!!!

So here's what's been happening!

SCRAP THERAPY

We have been working with Teresa Collins this month!

Amazing products.... and of course some of my bits and pieces thrown in!

This is working with the 'Freestyle' Album kit with Hannahs End of Year Ball photos.

Details and close-ups on how to put this album together are here in the Scrap Therapy Forum

Here's a bit more of the Teresa Collins 'Giving Thanks' Mini Album  I showed a few weeks ago that I turned into a Monthly Calendar with one photo and a place to journal on each page so by end of 2011 - a years worth of memories.

Havent put the photo in the April page yet because I'm waiting for Easter!

The rest of the album and detail is in the Scrap Therapy Forum

This next little Mini Album is from the Teresa Collins 'Chic Bebe Boy Card' Kit.

And I've turned into a little Envelope Mini-Album

Here are some tutorial peeks here, but you can find the instructions here

Using a bit of pink below... it can easily be turned into a girl album

---------------------------------

SCRAP JACKED

Here's my DT sample to jack!

You can find all the dt members work here

More fun to be had!

I host a challenge called 'Scrap that Tune'

'Easter Parade'

You'll have to go check it out too

but here's my DT sample

Everyone knows how much I LOVE to decorate the breakfast table on Easter morning!!

Its done every year! 

I'm also hosting the 'Shabby' Challenge which will be revealed next weekend!

One of the things going on there is a comp called 'Chopped' and we have a set of criteria that we have to abide by or chopped from the comp.

Its quite funny really - its based on a TV reality show in the US!

Here's my third submission for this challenge

The criteria was white, cardborad and stitching!

------------------------------------

On a sad note....

TullulahBelles Etsy is closing down as Kris is moving to the outback, quite remote and will be unable to keep it going.

I'm so sad as her products have given me so much joy over the last few years of scrapping!

Here's my latest bunch of gorgeousness...

I've got another lovely big parcel coming too! 

TullulahBelles is doing a big destash...

so keep an eye out for some wonderful goodies.

Will miss your beautiful creative Art Kits Kris!
