New goodies

Janina came over to scrap last night. She brought with her my Stampin' Up order (that I'd forgotten all about) and the latest Scarlet Lime kit - got love new scrapping goodies to get those creative juices flowing :) But since we hadn't caught up since before Christmas, scrapping was a bit thin on the ground. I finished one LO and she did one and a half!

Anyway, here's that LO - it's for Kerry's challenge for the wp cc. You had scrap about your goals for 2011 and include some green, a cloud, distressing and mixed alphas. My journalling is on the tag behind the pic, it says: It's ok to have dreams, plans are good too. But sometimes you have to stop dreaming and planning and just DO. 2011 is going to be my Nike moment (just do it).


I scrapped the third and final challenge for the wp cc today. Krissy challenged us to create a LO, based on her sketch, featuring our word for 2011. I had no idea what one word would sum up the direction my year is going to take but I really wanted to use this photo. Rob took it while we were at the coast so, I came up with the word enjoy. I figure that these kids will have grown up and flown the coop before I next blink so I'd better enjoy them while I can.


I had a lot of fun with this LO. I used my new Glimmer Mist sand and surf kit, some new Pink Paisley paper and some fab misting tips from Peg Hewitt to create the background. There are three different colours of mist on there (and on me and the dog).

I hope all you Aussies are enjoying your Australia Day - we're off to the fireworks later - fingers crossed the forecast thunderstorms don't roll in till after 9.30pm.

Catch you!

P.S. I have no idea why the words on my blog header look they way they do - I tried to fix them but failed...so, now I've decided to ignore them in the hope they revert to how I want them to look - stamping my foot didn't work either!
