Addicted to Books & Digiscrapping

Ok so I MEANT to come back and post last weeks photos but I guess I forgot LOL. I jumped on here today to do some posting about my scrapping and thought opppps I'm a bit behind! hahaha oh well I put my photos on a LO again so here you are - April 13 through to April 19. Credits - DebF - Year in Review template and everything else from ksharonk designs. Now I have been doing a bit of CT scrapping over the last week and I would love to share my pages with you. Sharon had put the delicious kit Sophisticate in the PBP store last Friday and I couldn't wait to use it. The papers are so yummy and the kit is very elegant! Baby's got the bluest eyes Credits here We asked and she delivered - Dawn made some fabulous doodled page borders with some handy notebook style papers for us to play with after one of the CT girls made a request for them. The pack is called Daydreamer and you can get it here from the PBP store. They are so much fun and I had a great time making this page - cho...

I've been a bit slack about posting this last week sorry but I have been recovering from a busy busy FUN busy Easter weekend and I just wasn't in a blogging mood. But I thought I had better catch up before another week over took me and I fall incredibly behind in my project posting. I hope you don't mind - I took a leaf out of my pal Carol's book and put my photos for the past week into a page rather than post them all individually - so here you have my week in review for the period April 6 to April 12. Everything - including the Photo-a-day template - comes from the talented Deb Fisher . I haven't posted it anywhere but here and i probably won't because I am feeling very lazy :) I alluded to the fact in the post title that there was a birthday over the Easter weekend - yes it was mine, I am now a year older and hopefully a little wiser. I had a lovely day and I was spoilt rotten by everyone. My lovely MIL cooked my favorite meals for me and I was bathed in lov...

Another week shuffles by and I am still clinging to the project by the skin of my teeth lol. As you will see from my photos this week there was a bit of a theme that hasn't been there much before - RAIN! Yes we had a few days of rain in Brisbane this week which is really exciting as our dams are now at 50% capacity which means water restrictions will be eased. Now that isn't saying I am all that happy about water restrictions being eased because I'm not really - I mean lets face it, we have had these tough water restrictions in place for a while now and we are all used to them. So it doesn't make much sense to me to ease them UNTIL our dams at 60 or 70%! Anywaaaay thats just my humble opinion! Ok here are last weeks photos: Day 89 My Monday chore is doing the shopping for the week. I don't mind really, it's nice to shop without the kids loudly demanding every sugar laden consumable ever created! Also the shops are usually pretty quiet which is great so I don...

I decided my blog needed a bit of a face lift - sooooo tada! Here is my new blog banner - yep that's all I did!! Oh I did change my clock too! I used that cute alpha of Bren Boone's and if you like it you can still get it at DSA in the Freebies section here . I did kind of cheat off DSA because DSA's site header looks so nice - I wanted to have my own LOL. BUT I honestly can NOT be bothered doing anything fancier on my blog like those gorgeous background pages and stuff - I mean I like to look at them but I can't be stuffed doing one on here. Plus I kind of like the clean look of the white background especially while I am doing my Project 365 LOL.

Yes I have been doing a bit of scrapping last week - I think I am all scrapped out right now but I do have a thought for another page bubbling away in the back of my mind LOL so maybe I can squeeze another one out today some time haha! Ok where to start? Ummm how about I start with the pages that I made for the great new April Challenges available at Pickleberrypop right now? Right then - first up we have a fabulous Scraplift Challenge where we have been challenged by our talented CT member Cass to lift a page from one of my bestest bloggy pals and super scrapping wonder woman Carollee (who Deb and I both want to be when we grow up LOL) - participants in this challenge go in to the draw to win a $10 GC to the Pickleberrypop Store!! Here is the page that I made to advertise the challenge - You are my everything Credits here I lifted Carol's adorable Love Reigns page Credits here The other challenge we have at PBP this month is our fun White Space Challenge hosted by the lovely ...
