Playing catch up...

What a crazy few weeks! I've been off work resting my arm as the RSI has been quite bad and have been able to get nothing done, so I've been going crazy! I was finally back to work this week, albeit half days and on minimal PC use, so getting something done takes me forever lol! Thank goodness for being able to briefly use my left hand and Dragon Dictation on my phone.... they have made things a bit easier! The next few weeks are going to be slow going with the hope that it gets back to normal and I can't wait!

With the injury, it has also killed my scrapping time, however I did have a few pages up my sleeve before I was out of action thankfully! These are recent DT work for Scraploot. Head over to the blog to check out the full posts and close ups.... there are instructions for the first page as well.

Don't forget to check out the new sketch comp for April over at the Scraploot blog.

Here is my interpretation of the sketch, featuring the lovely Jenni Bowlin range.....

There is a great prize up for grabs, so give it a go! Keep an eye out for Monday's DT post, I will have a step by step page for you to have a go at.

Have a great weekend and happy scrapping!

Welcome to the weekend!

Given I've been struck down with tonsillitis this week and my crappy RSI in my arm, it's a low key Saturday for me.... I'm doing this post and then it's off the PC for a few hours. Hubby has joined me on the couch and we are watching the first race in the 2012 V8 season. He is super excited.

So needless to say, not much scrapping has been done lately. However I can share my DT post over at Scraploot from earlier in the week...

Check out my full post for the close up details.

And here is a sneak peek of next week's inspiration for you.... this is a step by step page to start off your week.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and happy scrapping!

Design Team Work

I've just realised how neglected my poor blog has been over the past few weeks. I've been suffering from bad RSI and working long hours at work, so my PC time after work has been extremely limited and I am trying to rest my arm as much as possible. I'm giving myself tomorrow off to watch my husband in his baseball semi finals, so I figure I will smash the PC time today instead and rest tomorrow!

In case you have missed my posts over at the Scraploot blog over the past few weeks, here is a recap of some of the work... head over to the Scraploot blog for all the finer details and stock lists. Don't forget each Monday I have a new page for you and a step by step tutorial once a month.

Here is my example for the sketch challenge for February. Only a few days to go, so don't miss out...

These few feature the Echo Park Yours Truly range...

This is the start of the Bo Bunny Enchanted range...

And a small sneak peak at this Monday's layout... make sure you check out the Scraploot blog to see the full reveal.

Have a great weekend and if you have the chance, happy scrapping!

Some new scrapping work and cards

I finally got some scrapping done last week for my DT work over at Scrappers Garden. I have created 2 double LO's and one single page. The kits go one sale in a few weeks, so I can only show a sneak peak of them here... Check out http://scrappersgarden.openstores.com.au/ for all the kits on offer. They are excellent value!

These 2 sneaks are from a double LO. This pp range was so much fun to work with. Lots of bright colours! I need to crop the other LO's so I will post them in the next few days.

The following LO is my take on the July sketch at Scrappers Garden. The pics are from one of my best friend's little boy's first birthday which we celebrated recently. He is so adorable!

Some more card work:

This was created for a friend for her nephew's birthday. I love this little truck! I did a similar card in brown tones for my Dad for his birthday.
This little cutie was made for my mother in law's birthday. It's the Rustic Rooster Hostess Stamp Set. I wasn't a fan of the rooster to start with but now i'm using it, I love it! 

What was meant to be a quick update, has turned into a really long post! Happy reading lovely people and I hope you all have a great weekend.
