What Is Old Is New Sketch Challenge November

I feel like I haven't posted a lo in ages! I have done a few things but they have been for DTs so I haven't been able to post them up as yet. I had a little operation this week and have been "lounge bound", the only thing I have been able to do is handstitch, so I came up with these lovely pinwheel flowers, if you look closely you will see little crystal beads around the edges of some of them. They took me hours to stitch lying down on the couch!! it was alot of fun though!! The organza ones are handmade too, my lovely buddy Jodie showed me how to make them.

Cheers for now

My 40th Birthday Gift

Aussie Scrapjack for October

Here's my take on one of the many gorgeous Jacks for October. I chose this one as it was way different from my usual style. I had fun playing with paint and watercolour pencils, and it was very quick to do.

Here is the original layout by Mel Nunn:


and here is my Jack of it:


Mine is alot busier, I did get a bit carried away with the paint!!

Have a great day everyone!!

Arrrrrggggg! I can't find my desk

or anything else for that matter! Why does my scrap spot always look like this? and why do my ribbons keep getting all mixed up? I'm sure there is a naughty scrap fairy who creeps in here at night just to mix up my stuff! I think I need help!!



To say that I'm a messy scrapper is an understatement (just ask the girls I scrap with how many things I loose each time we get together). I have so many things on the go and tidying up so I can work just doesn't fit in (sigh). Much to Daryls' disgust I am slowly moving things into the front room hehehe! Last time I did that it lasted about 2 months before I got notice to leave or my stuff was going out onto the verge for the rubbish pick up!!

cheers for now xx
