Layouts

A layout in 15minutes was the Friday night challenge over at the sketch book this week...so this is what i came up with...also you had to use pattern paper, doodling, die cut and your own hand journalling...i don't know that i like my journalling and may change it one day,LOL.

I got this happy mail on Saturday...I won a RAK from Niella's....so a big thank you to you Niella and I will be sure to post a photo of layouts that i use these on in the near future

These two layouts are for challenges over at Stampin Scrap and I have used my owl stamps that i got as a RAK from Lynda on this first layout...they are so cute the little owls and thought they looked good on a sleeping layout...but keep an eye out for more layouts with little owls..thank you Lynda this may just be my next addiction,LOL

And the 2 RAK'S go to.......

I was going to get the boys to do this lucky dip for names tomorrow but being first day of school and a busy day I thought i would do it tonight.
So Liam went first and the name he pulled out of the hat was.........

....Vicki. I will PM you Vicki over at Stampin Scrap.

Then it was Stevens turn and the name he pulled out of the hat was......

...Kelly. Kelly I will leave a comment on your blog for you to email me as I see you are with wordpress.


A few photos of some of my latest creations, first is a layout I have done for the sketch book for the fortnightly challenge

A few cards that I have made over the last couple of days

Just love this butterfly one...not sure if i can part from it,LOL. I put some beads onto wire for the feelers and butterfly body.

These are the stunning cards i got back from last months card swap over at the sketch book. Great cards ladies looking forward to see what i get back this month.

And these stamps are a RAK from Lynda she did a draw and I was the lucky one who's name got drawn, so I'm going to have a play and make some cards with them...thank you very much Lynda

RAK.....

...forgot to add that since I have had few little raks sent to me I thought I would pass on the kind thought to others, so to all you NZ bloggers leave a comment before the 21st of this month to go into a draw for a rak, there will be two RAK to be sent out....I will get Steven and Liam to pull a name out each from a hat.

More Autism Awareness

I got the first draft copy of my article for the paper tonight, so I will go through that tomorrow and then send it off again. At the moment its over a thousand words so needs to be shortened, but she is also interested in sending the full length article to a magazine, if I was keen. So once its published I will post a copy here for you to read. And I guess the more people see and read about autism the more awareness of it there will be. I would also like to say thank you for all the comment in my last autism awareness post. So on that note I have posted a picture of a flyer from my autism support group, our next meeting we have Jen Birch coming along to share her story with us, she has Asperger Syndrome and is author of 'Congratulations! It's Asperger Syndrome". If anyone is local and interested in coming along let me know as number are limited, but I thought I would post here and if you know anyone who may be interested then you could let them know, but if you are keen you need to let me know by the 15th of July.

A big thank you for these lovely RAK's from a couple of online friends and bloggers. These lovely snowman stamps from Trace...watch this spot for the making of snowmen cards for Xmas this year...and these papers from Janine(aka Angelgurl) from a RAK from her blog. So a big thank you to you tow ladies, and I will be sure to post photos of my creations with these lovely bits.

On Sunday night while watching The Lion Man the boys were on the sofa and Steven had been wiggling his bottom tooth pretty much all day and then said 'look it just popped out' and there he was with his tooth in his hand. He was very excited and started jumping around saying Im going to get $2 from the tooth fairy,LOL. Lucky the tooth fairy actually had some change in her wallet..I must say she was a bit worried there for a moment.

So i have been doing a bit more sorting with my scrapbooking stuff and when I sorted the shelving out found these container so thought they would be perfect for my grungeboard letters and numbers, the bigger ones are put together in one of the plastic draws.

It was a lovely day today and warmer outside than it was inside, so Liam and i got outside and mowed lawns, did some weeding and washed the car since it was well over due for a wash, even though I'm sure the neighbours cat will have left more dirty foot prints on it again by tomorrow morning.

And a layout that I got done today, very simple but its another layout for Stevens album.

And here is my last weeks Friday night challenge for over at Stampin' Scrap. The word search idea came for the Mays Creating Keepsakes magazine. Took awhile to get the word search typed up but i love the affect of it and i have printed off a few extras because if Steven gets his hands on this layout with no one looking I'm sure he is going to get a open and start searching for some more words,LOL.
