and my page. Missy A's school photo from last year.
This one took me a while to do as it involved heaps of cutting out and I very nearlly tore it serveral times. There are two sheets of the Prima stiched papers on this. One with the stiched blue frame around the edge, the flowers and leaves and I cut out the flowers on the second sheet again to 3d them.
See them blue scallops tucked under the stiched edge. I punched out a heap of small circles and added them to the reverse side. Took me a while and the girls at the crop all thought I was crazy but I love the look and will be doing something similar again for sure.
I tucked some trim in behind some of the leaves at the botton and added some basic Grey birds too.
The small flower in the center has been taken of a bigger Prima one that was in the kit I had to play with.
Missy Julie2 you may just recognize that cheeky little smile at the bottom of the photo. I hope you like what I have done for you. Can you email me your addie and I'll pop it in the post.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's been a while since I shared some photos here. lol It's been a while since I took any. Here are a few I snapped today.
This morning Missy woke up in a better mood than what she went to bed in thank goodness but she woke up with a big list of things she wanted to do today. One of which included going out for a 30 min drive in possible rain to play at the pirate park and me not wanting to go anywhere today. So when she asked me very nicely this morning if she could have her Little pet shop tamagochi back we made a bargin. She could have it if we cancelled the park idea. She agreed and we both were happy.
This is one of many photos I snapped of her with it laying on her bed. Cheeky thing wouldn't look at me but I so love that little grin that is happening behind her tami and that cute dimple.
And I just had to snap this photo of Missy Reenie. I had a pile of washing on the lounge that had been calling me to fold it for a while and I was pretending not to hear it. Well Reenie heard it and decided to curl up and go to sleep on it next to Missy A's toy dog Doodles which Asher had put there as well.
Well that is it from me for now. I'm of to do some blog surfing I think I've had enough crafting for today.
As always thanks for popping in, any comments and happy scrapping/cardmaking.
This is a page in my 52 week album and the first one I played with. I used my circle punches punching out of some old book paper and layered them over my Pink Paislee paper. My friend had some circle stamps with her that fitted around the punched circles and I also used my My minds eye memories journal block. It is not very clear in the photo but I also played around with some charcol pencils which Lucy did on one of her samples and highlighted the punched circles.
Card positioning systems I did this one up for the latest skecth but I realsied when I went to grab the link I missed the deadline. Oh well.
I brought myself a sponging block yesterday and played around with it and my distress inks Love how it tunred out even if I did go a bit over board with the ink on my first try.
I used some my minds eye papers along withsome more of my Purple onion stamps.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And now for the story.
Yesterday Jane,Missy and I went up to Galeria shopping center to watch Christines daughter Sammi strut her stuff in a modeling competition. After that we grabbeda bite to eat and seeing as Missy had some money burning a hole in her purse we headed over to Kmart and she was lucky enough to be able to get a Little pet shop tamigoti toy with the money she had and she was happy. Been wanting one for ages. We get home from the shops, I open it up for her and went and had a nana nap as I had a headache only to be woken up 30 mins later to a lot of banging and dh yelling. Missy had put her toy, chain and all around the cats neck. After cathing the cat, a talking to and degangling the toy, which was confiscated she started screaming. Dh and I left her too it in her bedroom. After about 20 mins she was still going but I managed to calm her down enough to get her in the bath only to have it all flare up again when she wouldn't get out of the bath and I pulled the plug with her still in it. She ran of into her bedroom slamming hte door. 10 mins later I went in to check on her only to find her wrapped in her towel still wet laying on her bed. Fumming I went to her drawer and pulled out some pj's that she absoluetly hates and made her wear them and it started again. Durring dinner she had calmed down a little but both dh and I got the "I don't want to be a part of this family any more" talking to along with "I don't like my life and I want a new one" and "I want a remote control soI can turn back time". Once Missy get upset every thing thing can set her of again and dh made the comment that he would like the remote control thing to as he knew the lotto numbers and we could win lotto and i added we could by a new house and you can go to a new school. Well guess who didn't want a new house or school. So it started again. After all that there was no way she was going to be allowed to watch the movie she wanted to so she was banished to her bedroom to read till she fell asleep.
Boy when Missy losses it she losses it big time.
Til next time, Tomorrow with my STM page thanks for popping in, any comments and happy scrapping.
Not totally loving it but it is anothe to add to my stash of cards on hand.

Hope yoy can play along this week.
The challenge this month was to use material, lace, more than 6 buttons and hand stiching. I had fun with this one.This weekend Lesley was running a mini crop and I managed to get two scraplifting challenges done.
The first one was to scrap lift yourself and I lifted my giving layout from a few posts back. This is my page for last week in my 52 weeks album. Missy nearly has the knack of tying her laces.
The other scraplift challenge was to lift a layout/card/OTP project belonging to one of the dters. Luci does some gorgeous OTP projects and I lifted this page from a mini album that she posted and used it as a base for a card.
I have popped this one into the die cut challenge on the Hero Arts blog. Not that I have many die cuts but they did have a few templates we could print out so I did that and stamped my favorite script stamp over it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pop on over and say hello to the girls. We have been introducing the team over the past few days in the lead up to the first challenge on the 25th. Don't forget to pop in and tell us what Shabby means to you to be in the running for a Shabby rak which we will draw on the 24th.

A page for a memory album about a friends sister who past away early this year. My friend passed on some photos along with the notices from the paper, which I was so worried about losing, so I made a pocket page, sewed a butterfly onto a paper clip and the notices are tucked away.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had some more fun with paint and masking tape on this and if you are in the Perth area I will be teaching it at Just scrapbooking in August sometime.
Here is a detail pic of the masking tape and paint work. Love the way that the tape gives of a distressed look.

lol I had fun scrunching the paper for this. The white clouds are actually a few sass lass ones that are printed on the other side. Thanks for the fun challenges girls.
And the card.
Which Missy A has already claimed. Seeing as I am on long service leave at the moment Mum dosn't need to pick her up from school anymore and Asher asked if she could give her a card to say how much she misses her. Even though we still see her on the weekends.lol
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This weeks challenge was to play around with back ground stamps and after seeing an idea on the Pink Paislee blog I knew just what I was going to do. I had to go shopping first so I did. I came home with some new Graphic 45 papers and some masking tape.
I added the tape to the paper, swiped it with some paint, stamped on it while the paint was still slightly wet, layered up some of the ATC type panels from one of the papers and ended up with this card all ready for fathers day.
I so love the look of the paint and masking tape that I have another project lined up ready to play with.
Well that's it from me for now. Just one more thing before I go though.
