Luckily I had thrown all of Blake's clothing tags in a dish in my scrap room so when I read the brief I had the perfect excuse to use them. Not my normal style, really messy and I spilled a bottle of glimmermist all over my scrap desk while I was creating this. Aaaarrrrggghhhh Mr Hart, what a mess. </span></div><div>

We were camping at Pottsville with friends last September holidays and we found this little blow up boat and of course the kids wanted to use it straight away, we had no 12 volt pump so we pumped it up with a bike pump. Took us forever. Didn't even realise until we were done that the kids had no paddles, they were smart enough to go and get their sand shovels and use them. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg5kMbTF77h0DtvpHWRrSsuxm3ung-meql6UMvWvc55O7L7TaRAweVxPtcXN5FFT4A8nwVMtd-FR2c6FkytsVGv7IWM8Gjp9aQPM-kEHzywtDIBkisVEUJgoIWKAUppFMH4L-V1KeoN0X9/s320/Improvise+1.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5636197985433460162" /><br /><div>and a close-up of some gorgeous goodies from <a href="http://www.alilsomethin.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" >A Lil' Somethin'</span></a>.

It is very full-on, a project a day. I started late because I was in Geelong with the girl at Nationals for hip hop. By the way, they came fourth which is a huge effort, but missed out on selection to go to the World titles. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Anyways here are my first two - Self Portrait</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjInTkBFLAySIxt3T7xen9A30zyFxI-2YBCLPPJYVGg4q_UPtxvd4FxRPecjC5pKjo3W50epRrcm6J4qutxrZvjtEYC2UjJRr7M2Mg7bfgXSHeWNlm0JhEaToFpj3l8Zjo1jc_HwMtGN5AZ/s320/DSC_0261+ps+resized.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5634341391296876178" />Yeah I know, I cheated a bit, but I had to take the photo myself and closeups of my face is seriously scary. <div><br /></div><div>And my second project - Explore</div><div><br /></div><div>We had to take our camera somewhere different and the subject had to be something we hadn't photographed before.

We did a double layout, of course I didn't finish it, but the reason I took the class was to learn some of Lou's awesome techniques. She is one of my fave scrappers and does some awesome art inspired layouts. So not me, but I am going to push myself a bit harder to use some more mixed media on my layouts. </div><div><br /></div><div>I had a quick look around and met up with these lovely ladies from The Boxx - </div><div><br /></div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgMwZcy55pSjbrQl77uFIF5jiV7zRghAq4LQLwcSs9BRHqXvmIZOWaX1k_jC9qS22eqkGLFLQ5kY4hsuo-QPiQ88yhPXdPdh3y30Jbn1AsNh6vDtvUVeI87O2yPOkdwi73OZHhUCdSmT9o/s320/DSC_0013-1.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5619024226083670994" /><br /><div>Leanne Jago, Belinda Lowe (BB), Mary Bennetts, Annette Edmonds, Kim Ewins and Noelene Fairweather.

We had a nice relaxing lunch with fish and chips down at Paradise Point, at the park on the Broadwater. It was lovely, the kids had a bit of a play and Ash and I lay in the sun for a while. Ash was taking some pickies of the kids and I and a lady offered to take a photo of all of us. I was so grateful, we never seem to get a family photo, so here we are - </div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR1qv4Rag2M6o41urL9Cl7SYtTgA_46qvNfL8Rh0KXSkUMVdvJLY_jsnPLmETrb0Pw4Y4xJtTz9rabRrZYRU_nt1JQsSbAoq87cYovIBYU7wyj_4vyXqA_L2-2sx8LIJpC2hAfG8SOMXhD/s1600/DSC_0143+ps.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR1qv4Rag2M6o41urL9Cl7SYtTgA_46qvNfL8Rh0KXSkUMVdvJLY_jsnPLmETrb0Pw4Y4xJtTz9rabRrZYRU_nt1JQsSbAoq87cYovIBYU7wyj_4vyXqA_L2-2sx8LIJpC2hAfG8SOMXhD/s400/DSC_0143+ps.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604288459486927986" /></a>No matching outfits, but a very treasured photo all the same. I think I could fix it by changing it to black and white which I may do to scrap. <div><br /></div><div>Megs made a lovely card for me and Blake bought home a little pressie he bought me at Movieworld yesterday, a lovely crystal prism with my star sign. I was really surprised he actually thought of me while he was out having fun at a birthday party. Will wonders never cease - LOL. I am a tad proud of them both. I told Ash no pressies, I am desparately in need of a new camera, I have my eyes on a Nikon D7000, so I told him not to buy anything. I think I may save my birthday and maybe try for it for Christmas. </div><div><br /></div><div>We ducked over to the factory outlets and did a spot of shopping and I did score a lovely top, dirt cheap so I couldn't leave it there. The kids got a couple of things as well.</div><div><br /></div><div>I'll try and be back to post tomorrow about Creative Block, I had a huge three days and met some lovely people. Got some great pickies as well.</div><div><br /></div><div>xx Deb</div>Debbie Lawrencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15974442896846116405noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774384655699858578.post-43232351168568785812011-05-04T13:01:00.004+10:002011-05-04T13:17:12.953+10:00May Scrap the Boys challenge<div style="text-align: left;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-family: 'courier new'; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px; ">This months challenge is to...</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-family: 'courier new'; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px; "><br />SCRAP A LAYOUT ABOUT A <span style="font-weight: bold; ">COLLECTION</span> THAT YOUR SON OR HUSBAND HAS.<br />THIS COULD BE LEGO, ARMY MEN, TEDDIES, DINOSAURS, TOYS OR BOOKS...</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" >so here is mine, better late than never.......</span><br /></span></span><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaXEBOv9c9vdBq5L2gDElXy9JOnYKsjR14GDNAXokdUO2eGmtJ4ac-adT88RyH5iGW7npO0VlTy_8KK2MaXeJK0FpdpdulijRUoy0MLl3Hev_NSylyGmAYNVSiceKntm1msqUDP6Q-rxXA/s400/My+collection+of+Beyblades.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5602692282938899074" /><br /></div><div>It seems the latest fad for 10 year old boys is Beyblades.

The next step is a 10 day Photoshop course which Sheye is running in May, if you are interested pop over to the <a href="http://eyecandyworkshops.com/"><span style="color:#000000;">Eye Candy</span></a> site and send her a quick email.

I've been doing Sheye Rosemeyer's Eye Candy Explore workshop. I am in the last week of it now, it has been awfully time consuming but I have learned so much. And I have finally got it, apertures, f-stops, ISO's, all makes total sense now. I am shooting in full manual now and the only stress I have about it is learning to juggle all the buttons and remembering to watch the light meter. I know it won't be long and it will be second nature. Just a quick shot the other day for one of the weekly modules, dude was not being very co-operative, all he wanted to do was get to Toyworld to buy a new Beyblade. I got a couple of okay shots, but really love this one. We are editing this week so I am hoping to get my photos up to scratch soon. </div><div><br /></div><div>If you are thinking of doing a photography course I would highly recommend this one.</div><div><br /></div><div>No scrapping at the moment but hopefully will have time after next week.
