Let's do the time warp again...

I have a reoccurring dream that causes me to wake with a start - it always has the same elements but not always in the same order. I had the dream again last night and this time I only got as far as the missing scrapping forum before I woke up! It's so real that I lie awake with my heart pounding trying to work out how I can locate the link to the forum when I can't even remember its name. I think perhaps that is the definition of obsession - logically I know the forum doesn't exist and even if it did and I'd failed to visit there would it really matter? Or maybe it's the definition of insanity...

So, some scrapping shares. I've done a few LOs in the past couple of days - this dreary weather lends itself to scrapping :)

I made a LO to go with my fabric flowers - I added an extra flower using the CIS technique challenge. I got some awesome sass lass alphas on the weekend and they were perfect with my flowers - not sure the pic does them justice - they have a kind of hessian pattern in the centre of each letter.


I also tried my hand at a couple of the challenges at Shell's new forum Challenge Heaven. She has eight challenges to choose from. So far I've done the Scrap Yourself challenge (you had to use a photo of yourself with Australia as the theme). I finally got to use some photos I took when I went to Central Australia in 2004. I did a double because I didn't want to crop any of the photos.

This is my take on the Quote challenge - "a picture is worth a thousand words", the extra criterion was to include strip journalling, a button and a star. I took this photo of myself in the mirror so I could show my MIL how fabulous the cardigan she sent me for my Birthday was :)


In other news Angus is going back for his next shoulder review tomorrow. We're hoping for a good result as he's been doing all his stretches and his not being able to play sport is driving us all to distraction. A few crossed fingers and toes wouldn't go astray :)

TFSB!
