Addicted to Books & Digiscrapping

Well I'm sorry but I haven't been here for a bit - the ADSR and CT requirements have been taking up a fair whack of my time but the race (for me) is over now for another year so I am hoping to have a little more spare time for you my dear blog! Speaking of ADSR here are my last few pages ... Challenge 9 - Create Art! credits here Challenge 10 - Life is our Canvas Credits here Challenge 11 - A little birdie told me ...... Credits here Now the final challenge is being done by the lovely Deb as a roadblock and is a card and envelope - apparently there was some drama about the last challenge but we dont buy into all that rubbish so as long as we get checked off we are happy. We have had another fabulous race and all kudos to the team at NDISB for all their hard work, we cant wait until season 6!! I had better post my P365 pages now - I am only two weeks behind and while the photos aren't anything amazing they are of my day-to-day life in all its humdrum glory lol Week 10 Credi...

Its just a fly by posting this evening as I am in the middle of doing dinner but I just wanted to post these pages before I forget! I have had a busy weekend scrapping, firstly I finished my page for the April edition of the Artisan Notebook, then I finished my two ADSR pages for this week! Not a lot of housework was done sadly as I am still recovering from the darn virus I got last week. Hubby and I seemed to go back down hill yesterday but we are crawling back today. I hope I am heaps better tomorrow as I am undertaking my first ever day at Bella's High School Tuckshop! Eeek I have no idea what I am doing but the lady I spoke to today seems lovely - so fingers crossed I don't cut myself or burn myself (which is invariably what happens when i go near a kitchen!). Anyway without further ado here are my latest ADSR pages: Challenge 7 - My Bucket List In this challenge we were required to list 50 things that we want to do before we kick the proverbial ummm bucket! Credits here C...

Eeek I can't believe its been two weeks since I posted last! It seems like only yesterday but man it's been pretty busy so I guess the old adage is true - time flies when you are having fun (hmmm not sure about FUN exactly!). Things have been flying along here until this week when we all ground to a halt with a yucky virus that struck down the whole family. Sore throats, headaches and fevers abound, the kids had two days off school, I had two days off work (1 for them and 1 for me) and Tony even took a day off for the kids too. But thankfully after an icky few days we seem to be emerging out the other side. Needless to say that did cramp my scrapping style but I have been going a bit over board the last couple of weeks as you will no doubt see from my post. Since I last posted Bella's underdog netball team came up trumps when they took home the trophy and grabbed first place from the season favorites! A more exciting game I have yet to see as they were tied all the way thro...

Yes I know .... I am slipping but really I have been so busy playing catch up with my CT and ADSR scrapping, newsletter contributions, posting and all the family stuff sometimes it get a bit much and the last place I want to sit is at the computer in the evenings (my favorite time for blogging lol)! Home life has been especially busy this week with netball training, tennis, parent information nights, netball semi-finals (which Bella's team WON woohoo! into the Grand finals now!) and I have been busy at work too! yikes! First of all here is my latest page for the project - I am just loving these templates of Leora's - so crisp and clean, it really makes it all about the photos and not a major scrapping exercise! Week 7 Credits - Designs by Leora I'm so happy to be racing with ADSR season 5 with my BFF Deb and it was great fun to kick it off with this first challenge - about your partner. We had to scraplift a page of our race partner and make it all about her - so here is my...

Now that the February edition of the Artisan Notebook is out I can finally post my January pages with joyful impunity! So here for your viewing pleasure (I hope lol) are my pages ...... one page is for the Just Write Challenge section .... Now and Then Credits - here and one is for an article on one of our talented designers over at Pickleberrypop - Carolyn Rose Kite .... Alway be with me Credits - here In other scrapping news Deb and I were thrilled to discover that we were allowed to register late after we discovered the ADSR season 5 team nominations had closed - Ernie and Theresa were kind enough to throw open the gates to us after they discovered that a number of people had lost touch with the site after the "troubles". So now Deb and I are racing once more in our fourth season of the Amazing Digital Scrapbooking Race so stay tuned as I struggle to cope with crazy deadlines, tricky challenges and a partner that lives across the globe while having a BLAST at the same ...

Well I guess all good things must come to an end and the ADSR has finally wound up for 2009. I enjoyed myself lots, scrapped outside of my comfort zone on occasion and spent some quality msn time with my bestest bloggy pal Deb, what more can anyone ask for! So Deb and I decided to go ahead and do Challenge #13 even though it was an optional challenge because we didn't really want the race to end. Challenge 13 was hosted by NDISB and had to be a two page LO with a list of requirements - here is mine! Love Credits are here Well that's it for another year so it's back to my usual CT scrapping schedule and getting back into being more help over at PBP as I have been sadly slack recently. Oh and I have to tell you it is now day two of my Low Card High Protein Diet and I am actually not feeling hungry at all which is unusual for me, normal when i hear the word Diet I feel hungry! I have found it hard to make up a protein rich breakfast in the small amount of time I have in the m...

Ok I got a bit behind posting these too after the holidays sorry so I will quickly pop them in now so you can see that I am still plugging along with the race. Thankfully there haven't been too many curve balls so far and there has only been one challenge that I haven't enjoyed. You may not remember that I was bragging about being able to scrap while I was away on holiday?? WRONG! The stupid photoshop wouldn't open the files so it was all a waste of time taking the laptop and the external HD with me but never mind I managed to talk to Deb via email (from the internet kiosk downstairs in the unit complex) and got all the info for Challenge 5 so I could think about it and then do it quickly once I got home and Challenge 6 was a roadblock that Deb did - so it all worked out ok LOL So here goes ...... Challenge 5 Challenge 5 was hosted by Anita Stergiou (a fellow Aussie) whose work I have always admired so this challenge was a pleasure to do. The challenge part was that we cou...

YAY I have finished this weeks challenge nice and early this time, mainly because I am off work and also because I will be away down the Coast for a few days from Saturday so I was trying to clear my to-do list before I start packing. Luckily for me my wonderful hubby has arranged for me to have limited internet access while we are away so I won't miss any of my challenges so as long as we keep getting checked off we will be eligible to go in the draw for the grand prize. Deb and I had decided that the prize didn't matter it was the race that matters most but we both (I think) breathed a sigh of relief when hubby said he could fix it for me to keep racing ROFL! So here are this week's ADSR pages... Challenge 3 was from Gotta Pixel and it involved finding the first LO you have uploaded into a gallery and re-do it, using the same photo and the same text. I re-did the first LO in my DST gallery Baby Mine and here is my new page - Baby Mine Credits here Challenge 4 was a fair...
