Life is Busy

Life has been rather hectic of late, and school holidays are doing my head in !! Bring on next Monday when life returns to some state of normality.




For those that don't know, I have sold Mystical Scrapbooks. I am sad to see this chapter end as I have put a lot of hard work to get it to where it is now, but, I am also excited for Donna (the new owner) and can't wait to start on my new venture with Tam and Wicked Princesses. Our new site should be up and running by middle of the week and we are so excited about it !! And now that I have sold the site, it might mean I have more time to spend with the kids and DH, as well as actually scrap. Shock, horror.





My exciting news is I have a new car.

It is a Mitsubishi Outlander, and I love it. So easy to drive, and the kids think it's the greatest car they've been in LOL.

Onto scrapping news. I've managed to do a few LO's in the last week or so. I'm not the greatest scrapper on the planet (by a long shot), but I enjoy what I do, and I'm happy with the results.

This LO is one of my favourite photos. It is Justin and Aidan when we were at the snow during the month. I've used the new Basic Grey Ambrosia papers. The sketch is from Stuck Sketches, and the color combo is from White with 1.

This LO is of Bailey is his besty, Lachlan. They are thick as thieves these 2 kids. Just used a few old scraps of paper (Junkitz, I think), Buzz alphas, Kaiser rubons and Blueyedezines star felt ribbon

This is a LO of my eldest son, Ethan, at our niece's first birthday earlier this year. The sketch is from Black Magic sketches, but I didn't stick to the colors required. I've used painting as the technique and cut out my flower embellishments from cardstock. Rather basic, but that's me.

Don't forget that Wicked Princesses is looking for new DT members. Applications close October 4th, with the new DT announced shortly after. Email your application to wickedprincesses@y7mail.com and make sure you look out for our new website, www.wickedprincesses.com.au later this week. Our October kits are on the blog now, and Melissa Corbett is our GDT for October.

That's it for now.
