Just Me and Them

Zoo Mini Book

Ever since going to the Zoo last school holidays for training, I have been slowly making up a digi book with all the photo's I took.  I didnt want to make just any old photo book though, I've used photo images of the animals feathers, skin and pelts to add decoration to my page rather than the standard type embellishments.

Here it is -

 

 

Phew!!  Just making this slide show was more work than the book!!  On a lighter note - my TV officially blew up today!!  Yep, one great big smoking gun - smoke definately not optional. 

It;s been going for quite awhile now but its definately gone now - the house still smells of electrical burns.  We have a loaner TV for now until we can decide on which of the new fangled TV's we want which is pretty cool.

I tell you though, I pretty well freaked when it happened.  Not because we now have to get a new one but because I had no idea how to redo the cable connections since our now blown TV used Euro cabling which are different to the loan one BUT I got there and the foxtel is working along with the TV!!

More of the Typewriter 2 Work

This week is the last of the Typewriter 2 course already.  Well actually yesterday was the last day but since I still havent finished yesterday's work - I'm sticking to it being the last week!

It's been a pretty busy fortnight with writing and creating but its also been fun dredging up those memories to write about.

Here is the most recent pages done during the course -

Then there is this double page (I saved it in two halves)

Last but not least is this one -

And thats it.  Hopefully I will get the last project finished tonight and will share it with you tomorrow!!

ScrapArtist Challenge

Scrap Artist released their monthly Muse ScrapArtist challenge last week.  The kit to do the challenge with was very pretty and I found it easy to complete this one. 

The challenge was to create a page with a border on the theme of 'Looking back now...'

Here is my version -

As always my credit list for other products used will be in the gallery.

Back to Work Tomorrow

Yep, thats right!!  My holiday is officially over as of tonight.  I'm all ready for the most part to go back although another week of holidays would have been good - especially today since I woke up feeling dreadful. 

I slept for most of today, to yuck to even get out of bed but at least tonight my head feels clear again even though my chest doesnt. I'll get there.

Before I do go back into the hustle and bustle though I'd love to share some work I did this week -

I began the Jessica Sprague Typewriter 2 class earlier this week and this is what I have done so far.

Well, thats it for me for tonight - time for bed!!

  

I'm Backkkkk!!

Firstly I have to share my October scrappit pack with you -

Being in Melbourne meant that I missed out on my normal sharing day and I loved this page so much that I really didnt want that to happen so here it is.  The photo actually opens up as well to reveal a photo of Sarah's face painting but with her eyes open and of course my journalling!! Here -

Such a beautiful face painting!! 

Yesterday I got back from my shopping trip to Melbourne.  I bought quite a bit but more for everyone else than myself.  Yet again I ventured into the Prada store with the intent of buying myself a purse.  BUT dang, there is no way I am going to spend that much money on a purse - for the same amount I was able to buy myself 2 pairs of embroidered jeans, 2 tops and 2 pairs of leather shoes!!  I think my love of all things Prada will just have to be from afar :)

Anyway, here are some quick glimpses of my trip -

We left early that morning and got to watch the sun come up over the airport!!

The view from our window!

 

I finally caught a train in Melbourne - I was amazed at how much the station looked like those on the Australian TV shows!!

 

The whitehouse institute where one of my favourite TV shows is filmed  -Project Runway!!

 Amazing street art all throught the streets of Fitzroy!!

 

 The departures board - my favourite sight by last night.  I love Melbourne but I do so love being back home with my family.

Finally, here is a quick page I created this afternoon -

Well that's it for me for tonight!!  Hopefully I can scan the work I finished creating just before I left so I can share it all tomorrow!!

We dare you Challenge

Well this is it - the last challenge in the book and I made it all the way through!!  This last one was to create a page about something to do with home.  I chose to do a reminder on fire safety for myself - using the photo from last week!!

And, thats it for me for now!!  I'm off to Melbourne in the morning for 3 days shopping - woohoo!!

ps.  Credits are included in my gallery.

We Dare you Challenge

This week the challenge was to create a page about friends.  I chose to create mine as a digi page -

Alright, off to make literacy games - still!!

Catch up

Every week I start out with the best of intentions - I will share on time, I will get on and catch up each day or at least every second day.  I say it every week and guess what?  It doesnt happen - like at all!!  It's Wednesday already for goodness sake and I have no idea whats happened to the first half of the week.  Its just evaporated!!

Wait, I remember last night being dance night - I took Sarah to dance with Mum and then came home to crash and I remember Monday night working on the club for September but nothing inspiring like going out to rescue a burning child or building an apocalyptic event!!  Both of the pages I have to share tonight were created on sunday - another pretty ordinary sunday in my current state of affairs.

Here's my "We dare you challenge for the week -

A digi page but one that share one of my favourite photo's because of the fact that it is 3 generations - me, my mum and my grandmother.

The other page is my September Scrappitpack -

This particular kit features awesome Websters papers and my page features a cutesy photo of my nephew!!

Well, off to carry on the load, I'm teaching staff tomorrow night all the highlights of using photoshop elements to our students then off to the show on Friday!!  I am so looking forward to the weekend at the moment!

 

Another week!

 During the end of last week (Man I already have to say that - where is the time going at the moment??) Sarah's school had a Bookweek parade.  She desperately wanted to dress up as Hannah Montana BUT she hasnt been looking after her Hannah wig - it was a mess and awful even after a good brush.  In the end I got her to dress up in her favourite "Trendy" clothes and I covered her face and body in a white shimmer powder.  She put the wig on and called herself Rosalie - from the Twilight vampires!!

Oh, and Em lent her a crest necklace to wear to help others recognise who she was!!

Lastly tonight, here's my page for the last week of the Gotta Pixell challenge -

The cat in question is 'Sarge' and he is a right pest so its lucky he has a very adorable little face!!

We Dare you Challenge

This week's challenge was to create a page about those "Little things" in life.  I chose to retell the story from yesterday of Sarah's new kilt -

As always my credits will be in the Digital gallery along with a copy of this page - when I get a chance to upload it!!
