Till next time thanks for popping in, any comments and happy creating.

It's time to party

WHOOHOO...

Are you ready for some blog hopping fun???

Most of the Shabby girls, along with Michelle (our fabulous Sponsor Purple Onion) and Sharon (our fabulous guestie) this month have put together a rak each on their blogs that you could be lucky enough to win by random draw.

plus

There's TWO RAKs to be won on LGS as well!!

That means there will be quite a few raks up for grabs.

Now just what do you need to do to be in the running for them??

Here are the details:

Over the weekend, the girls will be popping up a question relating to either the Shabby blog or one of the team members, along with a photo of their rak.

Post a comment on their blog to be in the running for that rak and then find the answer to their question (don't post the answer there!!) because you will need to gather all the answers from each blog and email them to Julie, lol that's me jacsplace2@iinet.net.au in one email by midnight TUES 13 July(Aust time-so check the clock at the top of our LGS blog if you are not sure)

Here is the rak I have up for grabs.


A selection of some of my Purple Onion cards, a butterfly that I happen to have a double of, some grunge board circles, a chippie alpha, some flower embellies, a bingo card, a doily, a book page, some K Co die cuts, 2 crocheted flowers and a sprinkling of buttons.

Its all in good fun!

And lots of chances to win a RAK!

Here is my question.

What was our 10th Challenge?



Now pop into the other blogs for the rest of your questions. All the Shabby girls are linked in the side bar of the Shabby blog and you will find a link to Michelle's and Sharon's blog in the challenge 13 post which is linked below.

(If a blog doesnt have a question up yet...keep checking back as it could be due to time zones)

ASJ reveal

Just popping in to share my layout for the latest ASJ challenge. I managed to combine all three fab jacks into my layout. Jodie's flowers, Melissa's grid and Amie's apple.

The 3 of us.

lol and yes my layout is crooked. I can't stamp straight to save myself.

I used a Purple Onion stitches stamp to make up my grid pattern.

Till next time thanks for popping in, any comments and happy creating.

I've inspired

Jill, a fellow Purple Onion design team member.

Pop on over to her blog and check out her work.

Thanks Jill. This has made my day.

I spied

with my little eye a Purple Onion blog giveaway to celebrate the July4th weekend over in the USA.

Pop on over and check it out as well as what some of the girls have done with stamps that Michelle has generously sponsored us with for this months Let's get shabby birthday challenge.

What a week.

No scrapping out here but a nice week anyway.

Sunday I took a few pics of Missy out back. Here are two of my favs.



Monday to Wednesday was work as usual. One more week and I'll be on holidays. Wahooo can sleep in if Missy lets me. lol

Thursday food shop, housework, Missy's dancing class and dinner with the girls from work.

Friday I got my hair cut and have spent the rest of the weekend getting used to my new do.


lol My hair hasn't been this short in ages.

And my copy of the latest Cardmaking, Stamping and papercraft was in the mail box.


You can bet your last dollar that it was opened in a flash to check out my cards on pages 20-22.

Won't totally spoil the surprise for those that haven't seen it yet so here is a sneak.


Saturday was the Copics course. What fun. I have learnt a little more about my new toys and have came away with a few more tips and ideas. Thanks Debbie.

Here they are in their new home. Nearly all of the Ciao's and a few Sketches. lol They had out grown Rach's little bag and I am sure they will out grow this one too. I may just need to get another tote so the Sketches have their own home.


Saturday night I coloured an image for a card on the Lime Tart blog during the week. I can't share it just now but will do once it has gone up on the blog. I also started work on some images for a swatch book with samples for different colouring of hair and skin using Copics.

Today I did some more colouring, housework and not much else.

If you are after a great scrappy bargain or two then pop on over to Scrap Therapy as they have a sale on now.

Till next time thanks for popping in, any comment and happy creating.
