Grumpy Bum

Hello fellow Bloggers, I can't recall uploading this layout before, and I just cant help myself but share a little more!
What a grumpy bum!!!
I've been playing around with this new blog, its much easier for a novice like me to move around and post new items.
Its my last CC at Zig Zag as a DT member tonight, I'm looking forward to "playing around" again as I missed the buzz of surfing the many Scrapbooking websites around, and I'm looking forward to new challenges and lots of lovely inspirational work.

The CC theme for tonight is " Trick or Treat" So pop over about 7pm and join in the fun! We have arranged Trivia and two rounds of Bingo, loads of inspirational Challenges, including two Ziglets Challenges,

Hope you can all come and make my send off a special one!
I'll talk to you all very soon!

Halloween.............

Here we go be spooked!




What a scray little boy!

and another...........

Well now I'm all scrapped out, here is another from Allison Ellis " Impression " range, awesome blue! Thanks For Looking!!

About time..................

I was Challenged, Last night was Chookscraps CC and the challenges were right up my alley, so to speak! This 2nd layout I've done using AED papers, http://www.alisonellisdesign.com.au/
their new "IMPRESSION" range ia awesome.
This layout is of my Nana who passed away sometime in the late 1970's, I've used Melissa Francess tiny little key locks and one of the many MM hat pins, too cute, and you all know, I cant stop myself from using Fabric! I did a nother shop Friday and acquired some more fantastic pieces, just loving the vintage fabrics, busting to use more. Heidi Swapp Letters and the ever so faithful Making Memories Foam stamps .


Ok, the 1st image, is another layout using AED "Girl Stripe" the Challenge here was to create a layout using the words or words "trick or treat" and three triangles. This has a funny story behind it . You all know Bronte had a party at the local Fairy Shop, well while there the children were taught a little bit of Magic, by Fairy Rose.
You may like to try this at home?
Are you sick of plain old boring lemonade, well if you shut your eyes very tightly and repeat the words " I wish " " I wish " and concentrate very hard, your plain boring old lemonade will magicly change colour!
We practice this magic at home, but last night unfortunatly I poured a little too much magic{food dye} into the lemonade bottle and after a couple of sips we all started to feel ill!!
No I'm not trying to poison my children!! Please!
The photos of Bronte's green mouth looked great in the camera, but when I printed them out, opps......... we had run out of Ink, so all the photos came out, much to my amusement GREEN!
Talk soon Girls!

Top50 Cyber Crop....

Was last weekend, Now my memory is not that good but I think I managed two layouts, A Thing of Beauty and this one............ "My Friend".
Scrapblocked again, just cant find the motivation, maybe I'll have something special to show you all next week, have a great weekend everyone!

A thing of beauty..........

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.
Therefore, on every morrow, are we wreathing
A flowery band to bind us to the earth,
Spite of despondence, of the inhuman dearth
Of noble natures, of the gloomy days,
Of all the unhealthy and o'er-darken'd ways
Made for our searching: yes, in spite of all,
Some shape of beauty moves away the pall
From our dark spirits...
-- John Keats

Witchiepoo!!

Ahhhh, Halloween is getting closer and the Kids just love dressing up, I love scrapping these photos . How cute is this little Witchiepoo??

Big Birthday Girl

Well what a start to the day, Bronte woke up to her Birthday presents, a Calico Bear and textas to write on her bear with, a [pink] My Little Pony, with long beautiful hair and a set of Paints.
She was so good all day, taking phone calls from relatives wishing her a happy birthday, and later at 4.30 she had her very own Fairy Shop Birthday Party!!
Fairy Rose made Bronte feel very special and she received a lovey doll, lolly bag, heart balloon sparkles on her face, hair clips and a bracelet!!!!!!
School next year and she is so ready. It was just about the best Party that any little girl could ever dream of!

Wonder

Well I kinda had another of those weekends, where I was hanging out for inspiration, I always want to scrap, but cant find the motivation .
Chookscraps sent me an e-mail, they were having a impromptu Cyber Crop, and I quickly popped over and found a challenge I was interested in.
The idea was to "scraplift" from a layout in the Gallery.
How easy is that? I didn't have to flick trough mags to find something appealing, I stayed on line and found a layout which suited what I wanted to do.
I'm pretty sure the winner has been announced and it wont be me, so am taking the chance to show it here.
I've added fabric, what else??? and white washed the paper it was way too bright, left the chipboard raw, thats always fun, you might not be able to see but the large Monogram 'B' continues to say Baby.......................................

Boo!

We are all very excited to announce ZigZag October Cyber Crop, "Trick or Treat"

http://www.zigzagscrapbooking.com.au/index.php

Like the layout?, please leave a comment,
I've used balck cardstock and Basic Grey PP, fabric, a lovely white flower I've cut in half, and just so lightly outlined Bronte, by adding dots around her figure to show her cape, using Uniball White Gel pen. Catcha ya soon everyone.
