Back to school

Wicked scrap school that is! Wicked Princesses is running a comp that's all about using techniques.  Here are my LOs:

Class 1: distressing. I've had this piece of cardboard from the flap of a box hanging around for ages - after I peeled and tore it I glammed it up with some black and orange glimmermist. I double distressed my photo by sanding and scraping it with my new super fab and groovy scraping tool. I took this photo while we were in Port Macquarie, there was a fabulous art show on the breakwater. The artists created their sculptures using only recycled materials. Can you see me in the photo too?

Class 2: journalling. I kept this one simple because I had a lot to say (bahaha). Not sure if you can read the strips but they say - I felt my heart twang when Zoe said she was too old for Trick or Treating, especially since the neighbourhood was buzzing with excited kids. But she happily drew a spider on her face and announced she would hand out the lollies to the kids who came to the door. In reality she disappeared to her room to chat online and I gave out the lollies. Guess I have to accept that my girl is growing up whether I'm ready or not!  

I'd been feeling a bit overwhelmed by all my scrapbooking supplies of late. Everytime I sat down to scrap there semmed to be too much to choose from - crazy I know - especially since I'm the one who bought all that stuff! But I just couldn't seem to choose something and start. So, on Friday I tried a different tack. I made a card. What do you think? I'm not a regular card maker but I was happy with this one, I used A Lil Somethin' birdie and bookprint doily. it's for our friends who just got married, not a traditional wedding card but it suits the bride and groom.

Here it is with the wedding present. I love wrapping parcels!

Anyway long story short, the card was enough to lift me out of my funk and I've scrapped three LOs since then.

In other news Angus has a broken wrist - again... He's currently in a blackslab and we're back to the doctor and for xrays on Tuesday. Fingers crossed they take the cast off and that is that (one can dream lol).

And now I'm going to be a little sneaky and share my LO using the latest WP sketch. Shhh, the sketch will be up tomorrow and it can be our little secret for now ok? It was Angus who was desperate to go on the Ferris Wheel at Floriade so here he is looking very happy :) Rob found those sunglasses at a Brumbies' game - they're brown with pink highlights and Angus loves them. All his friends want them. Such a dude!

Thanks for stopping by, have a great week :)
