SBM Vol 12, No 3....

YAYYYYYY, it's finally done - my first published LO is in here.....

the latest edition of Scrapbooking Memories  

"Cutting the Cake" - page 82  :)))))))

I didn't think I would be so excited, seeings that it seemed to take forever from when the LO was first accepted, until it was actually published - but it's now done & dusted! 

Wonder when they will let me know about the other 8 or so LO's that have been accepted?  - soon I hope!

I have been clearing out some of my scrap stash over the last week or so.....something that was way overdue!  Dear Lord, I have so much stuff!  I really think I need to seriously stop buying stuff until I have used the majority of what I already have....it's just so hard when all this new yummy stuff keeps coming out...ahhhhhhh.  I will, at the least, need to stop buying so much....I can only try!  LOL

Wonder what I could do with all this stash that I am clearing out?.........

OK, on to some scrappy shares.....

"Mr Attitude" - March sketch at Bon's.  You also had to include Felicity's painted circle technique - which is such a cool effective look!

"Magnificent Sunset" - March Stashstomper over at Scrapboutique.  Using Karen's gorgeous sketch & to use at least 3 different kinds of  fabrics or felt.  Pic is of a beautiful sunset at Norfolk Island. 

"It's all about the hat" - a LO I did at my LSS on Tuesday.  I haven't been able to attend the Tuesday group for over a year as I was taking Joel to Bathurst on Tuesdays, but now that he has his P's, I am able to meet up with these gorgeous girls each Tuesday - I have really missed it & am so glad that I am back!

"Boyz will be Boyz" - My take on the March sketch challenge at WIOIN.

My gosh, this layout became somewhat of a headache...LOL 

Originally I had cut out some of the circles & shapes from the Kaiser rewind paper ....but it just wasn't working - at all.  I was getting so frustrated with it all....and have ended up piecing most of the paper back to how it was....LOLLLL.  I guess you could call it a bit of a patchwork LO...hahaha!

Luckily I had 2 of these papers, so I have put some of the circles as a double layer, to give it a bit more definition.  OMG, the things I do!

Okie Dokie...that is all from me for now.....this was post no. 99....post 100 should be coming up soon :)

Almost a century.....

Posts that is.....I'm almost at 100 posts...WOW!!!
This one is post # 98....hmmmmm, wonder what I could have up my sleeve for my 100th post?!?!?

You will have to keep stalking my blog to find out what it will be......but I promise, I will make it worthwhile :)

I haven't got alot of scrappyness to share with you today, just 3 LO's & maybe a little sneaky peak at something that you'll have to wait until next month to see the entire LO....aren't I such a tease!  LOL

This one is for the WIOIN year in review challenge - a layout each month about something that happened in that month....this is mine for Feb - DH had a track day down at Phillip Island with his mates & came home with all sorts of stories on what they did, how fast they went etc etc etc *rolls eyes*.  I really don't think I needed to know the bit about reaching speeds of 220kmph +  :-0  But he also came home with some awesome photos that will definitely NEED to be scrapped!

This one is for the ROTM (Room of the month) challenge over at Bon's.

To take inspiration from this room......

I took inspiration from the gorgeous colours....love them!!!

& used pics from our recent holiday to Norfolk Island.

This LO was a free class over at Bon's - hosted by Charm .....thanks for the awesome circle stitching techniques Charm :)

I love how this came out....Pic is of Joel just after he passed his driving test....he is now on his P's & on the road to freedom....he loves it that he can drive himself wherever he wants to go....I am loving it too ...LOL

Ok, last but not least.....that little sneaky peak......

Hahahaha.....well, I did say it would be a "sneaky" peek :)))...and you will have to wait almost a whole month before you can see what it issssssssss.....

I stole this idea of Tracey ...I seen it on her blog recently & thought it was a great idea....and just a bit sneaky & funny...LOL 

(hope you don't mind Tracey)

That's all from me for now....don't forget to keep an eye out for my 100th post!....who knows when it will be, could be tomorrow, or the next day.....or even next week...or maybe next month...LOL 

You'll just have to keep a checking *wink*

Bye for now and take care  .... xx
