Scrapping up a storm!

-
Well I am feel pretty darn proud of myself at the moment! First I have managed to take a photo a day all week, I have completed the first two ADSR Challenges with by best bud Deb, done my part for the next PBP newsletter AND I have exercised four days out of five! Yay ME!

Deb and I are Team 99 and we have used the cool blinkie that Mel made for us in 2007 and we are once again .... the Digital Duo, saving memories for all!!

So here are my first two pages for this years ADSR!

Challenge 1 was to tear a photo into three or more pieces and focus on journalling - so that's what I did - my page is about the struggle I face making changes in my life:

Challenge 2 - Was a challenge! Deb and I had to do a joint page with 4 papers, 8 unique elements, 3 photos and 2 fonts PLUS it had to be something about Cabin fever!! Crikey! It was reallyhard but fun to do and Deb and I spent most of yesterday on msn trying to work out how it would all go. We had a nasty moment after we posted when we checked the forum and found out that we had got the element bit wrong but we quickly re-did it and TADA we finally finished last night and we have been signed off for both our challenges this week sucessfully! Yay!

Cabin Fever = Friends boldly going nowhere!

I have been doing a bit of scrapping for the PBP CT this week and I have to say it is a pleasure working with the gorgeous goodies available in store at the moment.

I made this page of my darling Bella using PST Designs new kit Sky - I really like how it came out!

I also made this vintage page using a new kit called Winters Natural Warmth from Laitha who is a brand new designer at Pickleberrypop and she is just amazing!

Well I have made a start on my first resolution and I have been taking my photo-a-day. I am probably only going to post on Sundays though because it is a bit of a pain uploading the photos daily blah blah blah so I thought that once a week is plenty. It's pretty quiet here on Sundays so I am hoping that this will be a good time to post the weeks photos. I am going to use the gorgeous photo frames from Deb's fabulous 365 Challenge over at Pickleberrypop - if you like them you can get them too by going here or clicking on the image :) So here are my first four days for my Project 365 - I hope I can make the distance this time. As to the other parts of my new Years resolutions I have to say i am off to a pretty good start there too. I spent some time on the phone to one of my girlfriends which resulted in me going out to see the Twilight movie with her for a nice girls time (with our eldest girls but that is ok). I LOVED the movie and I really can't wait for the rest of them

Project 365 - 23 Mar to 29 Mar

It still freaks me out that I am still going with this project - and even my family are starting to get interested in what I am doing and are becoming more than unwilling victims of my paparazzi attacks they are even suggesting things for me to photograph. The biggest shock came from hubby when he said today that I should take a photo once a week of each of our faces so that we can have a record of how our faces change over the course of a year. I think that this interest from him has a lot to do with the fact that he is on the diet with me and I have been telling him how much slimmer his face is looking ROFL. So next week you may very well see (in addition to my project photos) a photo of the four of us - should be fun! Ok enough blabbering - on to the project photos for last week! Day 82 Bella knows that there is no point asking Mum to help her with her maths homework - unless I can have my calculator there next to I am frankly less than useless! Luckily Dad came home from work earl

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
