I'm back in the land of the living

Ok I went and bit the bullet today and bought a new lappie. AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!!!!! I still have to get my hard drive back to be able to access all our photos and emails etc so I am only half organised but at least I have access to the internet. As far as our old computer is concerned we are still not sure if it is fixable, my big bro is doing it in his spare time which means he won't be able to get back to it until the weekend.

Anyways, just thought I would pop in and let you all know I am back.

Who likes a bit of whimsy?

If you've never had the pleasure of visiting my little bit of whimsy go over and have a look. Steph makes the most gorgeous pins and buttons. She is having a giveaway at the moment too. Hee hee, I have a little bit of an addiction to this place.

RIP my faithful computer

I think the time has come to bury my trusty friend. It has finally frozen completely and has gone on a holiday to my big bro's house to see if it is fixable. I am thinking not, lucky everything is backed up. So I won't be around much, just occasionally when I am at work until we decide on what we are doing for a new computer.

As far as scrapping goes, I'll have to go and drag out some of my old pre-digital photos. They are sitting in a box screaming to be scrapped so I might have to get organised and scrap some old photos. They are terrible, but the memories are still there.

Catch you later.

Some Happy Mail

came last week for me from the very lovely Miss Sandra Gerdes. She sent me the most awesome bag of hand dyed doilies. Of course I couldn't help myself and ripped open the packet and started creating. I can't wait to use some of the gorgeous coloured ones. You can get them from her Pretties Etc shop or from the Scrapping Outback shop.

I love this photo of my gorgeous girl, this was taken just before one of her hip hop comps.

Can you believe I actually got out some of my mists and used them. The jury is still out on these, I love the layout but still not sure of the sprayed effect. I'm sure it will grow on me.

Can you believe it, two posts in one day. Have to get my computer fix while it is in a good mood - LOL!!!!

PS. I matted the photo just for you Georgia Keays - LOL!!!!!!

Some new Paper Poppy

Well I have been so good lately, I really haven't spent too much at all on anything scrapbooking related for two months so I rewarded myself with the new Paper Poppy kit. How gorgeous is it???? Full of some Cosmo, Pink Paislee and Jillibean Soup, mmmmm mmmmm, three of my fave manufacturers.

and seeing as the dollar exchange is so good I also got the July kit.

There are some great add-ons you can buy with both kits, if you are looking for an awesome jam-packed kit to buy, Aphra does great kits.

I have completed a few layouts, unfortunately I can't show too many as they were completed for specific things and as we're still having computer probs I am having trouble uploading my photos - grrrrrrrr. I'll try later again today.

New Challenge at Scrap the Boys

The first challenge at Scrap the Boys for August is to scrap a layout using flowers …to make it a little easier you can include a photo of you and your boy/s… Or if you can’t come at flowers …scrap about their feminine sides… or if you are feeling very clever… use both criteria.

Here is my layout -

Wow, love this challenge. I do use flowers on my boy layouts, but usually just one or two discreet ones. So I went all out and used a flower cluster, but balanced it off with some corrugated cardboard and some boy papers. I love the finished product, now I would love to see some of your layouts!!!!!

Hope you are all having a fabulous day
