Who's in your family poppet style.

Is the title of a CJ I have out there somewhere and I would really love to have it home with me again. I thought I had a photo of the cover but I don't even have that:)
I started it up with a group of girls on the Scrap apple forum, which has since closed down. I can't even check out the posting list to see just where it may be. Last heard it only had two more stops before heading home and that was about three months or so ago. So if there is anyone out there who pops in here, was a part of the CJ and has any idea of where it just may be can they let me know.
PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE

Stuff to share

Wahoo can you all here me out there I'm on holidays for a week and am so looking forward to sleeping in and spending time with Asher and scrapping of course. lol
We went out to the beach for a while this arvo. Craig took Zumo for a race on the grass and Asher went down and played on the waters edge. Here are a few pics from Asher at play. I didn't get any of Zumo as Craig had put him away when we got back from the water.

I have been having fun scrapping over the last few days and I finally got around to doing a 123 Challenge. I have been meaning to get to one for a while now but just hadn't found the time.

Photos are of my sweet goggle girl at swimming a few weeks ago.

THERAPY NEWS

We have had another weekend of happenings with the girls snapping away for a photo challenge and also being inspired by the DT's monthly look what we can do with weekend. Here is one of my photos I took of Asher's new pony and her piano too. Lee anne send us all out a similar product and we all put our own take onto it. This month we all picked a Kaiser album and papers too work with and this is what I did with mine.

And you can see more and what the other girls did in here

I also scrapped a few more things with my Sass lass goodies.

A set of gift tags and a tag for Asher to take into daycare with some changes to her diet we are starting to do I did these with some papers from the wee bundles Lee anne sent us and has been sending out as prizes on the forum.

And this layout with scraps from the Woodland whimsy range. I think I ended up with a piece of all on it. I just kept on adding things left right and center.

I've also done two other layouts but can't share them just yet. You will have to wait till Friday and Sunday for them.lol

Why Friday and Sunday. Well we are cyber cropping this coming weekend. Challenges will go up on Friday so pop in and check out the clues for what you will need. I've scrapped my sample page, sorted out the guessing game and can't wait for all the fun to start. Roll on Friday.

And Sunday is our Super Sunday. When we will announce the new man of the month and share the new monthly challenges.

SCRAPPING THE MUSIC NEWS

This weeks song is Celebrate by Kool and the gang and seeing as I needed to make up a 21st card this is what I did along with a little autograph book for people to sign too.

Hope you can play along with us this week. I'll be back with some STM news durring the week.

Well I think that is all from me for now so till next time as always thanks for popping in, any comments, happy scrapping and see you all in Therapy

Therapy news

Therapy mum Lee anne has been at it again and there are some new yummies in the shop and if you would like some you had better be quick.
Hero Arts stamps have landed.
Anyone that knows me and my work knows that I love Hero Arts stamps and these little birdies are my fav.

Also we have the Sass lass chippies and letters arrive finally too. I've already been and put in an order for some.

And for the news. Well I think I'll let Lee anne fill you in on that.

Sort of anyway. I've copied this from a post on the forum. lol

EXPRESS POST FROM HERE ON IN

One of the things I have discovered in my short time with Scraptherapy is that one of the disadvantages of ordered on-line is the time the mailman takes to get your parcel to the door, so we have shaken the mail bag a little and made some changes. Order over $60 and you will get a prize in the post with your order, just as a little thanks for those of you who order more than $60. In the past we have offered free postage on orders over $60, instead we are now offering express post on all orders. All postage will be capped at $6.00. Insurance will be available on all postage at an extra $1.50. Insurance covers replacement of items ordered and if not still available a refund or store credit for what is not available. We know our regulars cant get enough of the new postal arrangements, we hope you try them out soon too.

If the new goodies in shop don't tempt you I am sure the new postage system and pricing will.

The girls and I have been busy getting ready to show case some Therapy goodies this wekend in our regular monthly look what we can do with weekend. I've seen what the girls have done with this months challenge products and they are just stunning. All will be revealed tonight.

Anyway till next time happy, scrapping, happy shopping and see you all in Therapy.

STM layouts

This weeks song over at STM is Forever young by Rod Stewart and this is my take on the challenge. A few fun picks I took of my Missy a few weeks back when we had a photo challenge in Therapy to take pics of a Daisy or a bucket to fit in with the Dasiy Bucket man of the month theme last month.This is a layout that I did up for a tribute album for Alieda's family that the girls over at Studio Calico, an American kit club forum are putting togther and asked if us STM girls wanted to contribute too. It was a bit hard to do but something I felt I needed to do.Thanks for stopping by, any comments you may leave and til next time happy scrapping.

Scrapping the music tribute

There is no new song this week after the passing of team member Aleida.
Mary has put together a slide show of her stunning pages she has done for the Scrapping the music challenges as part of a tribute we will be doing over the next few weeks.
The news of her passing has really hit us all hard and we feel that this is the best way for us to pay tribute to her memory and her work as a talented scrapper.
Rest in peace my friend. I only wishI had of had the chance to get to know you better.
