MME Collection

For the month of August I was given the MME Garden Party "LUSH BLOOMS Collection.... These are such soft pretty PP's. I knew instanty what I wanted to create using these Papers.
This is what I created for the SHELF

Becky Fleck Sketch

We are in for a real treat this month over at the SHELF..... Make sure you check this out!!

Becky Fleck from Page Maps has designed this fantastic 12 x 12 sketch exclusively for Scrapbook Shelf.
We want you to use Becky's sketch to create your own masterpiece. By all means feel free to adapt it to suit 8.5 x 11 if this is your preferred scrapping size. Upload your creations to the appropriate gallery folder by Midnight Tuesday 30th September 2008.

Everyone who uploads goes into a random draw. I have a copy of Becky's very cool new Scrapbook to Page Maps book to give away. Also Becky has offered to showcase sketch creations on her page maps site!!

This is her Exclusive Sketch for the SHELF!!!


This is my interpretation of her beautiful Sketch


And of course check out these amazing papers...... I told you I LOVE Pink Paislee.... Orange and pink..... who would have thought.... but I LOVE LOVE this colour combination....

Slice Of LIFE

Last Friday we had FNG at the Shelf with the winners of The Slice of Life Comp being announced..... SO I have to give a HUGE Congrats to Maria for winning..... YAH and she received a MM slice machine!! Runner Up was Leanne (Sillyscraps) and Third Place goes to Sandy..... The scores were very close and you did not just earn points for layouts created but for bonus challenges etc...... so it really did pay to be on the look out every moment for an extra point here and there!
There were a few HONOURABLE mentions too which go to Tanya..... Honey.... Annette....Fran.....Renae.....Julie....... and Paperdoll (Louise).... LOVED the consistency every week from these girls and it was sure damn hard to vote!!! It was an awesome comp and Trudi was so so generous with all the prizes that were given away during the competition too.... SAD it is over as I don't get to look at all the awesome layouts flooding into the gallery every week...... So a BIG CONGRATULATIONS to everyone that entered!!!!

I did manage to get a couple of layout done for FNG, the theme was "LIFESTYLES OF THE RICH AND THE FAMOUS"

Challenge One : THE CINEMA

Criteria:
- What would your Movie Title be called?

Include:
- Bling
- Diecuts

This is my interpretation:

I used the new Pink Paislee "POP FASHION" PP's, alphas,topsider borders and journal spots.... SO love these papers and had so much fun using them!!!

Challenge 3: PAPARAZZI

Criteria
- Showcase your best / fav pics
- Minimum of three pics
- Paper Cutting - 3D
- Stamping

This is my interpretion of the Challenge

I also used some new PP's from Pink Paislee "VIntage Moon"..... how cute is that owl!! I cut him out of 2 pieces of PP and 3D'd him..... I just love this new range too!

ON the home front!

UMMMM sometimes I wonder how I survive most days at the moment..... The house is crazy and I feel like I don't have a second of peace.... Matt is back home.... and finally started a new job yesterday. But one problem.... MUM has to be the taxi!!!! But at least he has a job and hopefully we can work out something down the track how he can get to and from work.... HE went for his learners last week and failed and its so hard to get him motivated and go again!!!
I had been sick from the flu and had to get better to go and Celebrate my hubby's birthday..... we went to the Gold Coast for the weekend and had an awesome time.... We both so needed to just get away from life here at home.... it was so nice to be just ME and HIM.... It was very romantic indeed:)
Jamie also got the flu and now it has turned into Bronchitis..... he has been so sick and just as we thought he was getting better he got worse! Back to the doctors and have to keep an eye on him closely!!! Poor LITTLE man.
So I have not managed to scrap for nearly a week..... just a mess in my scrap room and too much going on at home too!
