I have heaps to share but...

First things first..

***

CHOOKSCRAPS survivor is down to the last ten survivors.aND ARNT THEY LOOKING TRIM TAUGHT AND TERRIFIC IN THEIR BIKINIS AND SARONGS ON OUR OWN CHOOK ISLAND ...

Congrats to all who have competed in this gruelling challenge,,Every fortnight being made to enter a layout that has been thought up by the DT at chookscraps..And what a mad bunch we are and the challenges have really seen the bar being lifted in way of outstanding scrapping..

Here is my sample layout for this weeks challenge:

Now this was a very quick layout using a prebrought: pre made page.. I just added a few things to make it my own and in under 15 minutes a page..I am slowly scrapping througfh last years xmas photos in readiness for this years photo festival..lol

Next: Embellished Idol

Well i didnt get into the final three but im soooo very proud of myself to have gotten into the final 9. Is this being vain?? Oh who really cares if im vain, im proud to have gotten this far..lol

This week six were voted off and i was one of them.. But the competition was sooooo much fun and i have some gorgeous layouts to add to my albums..So thanx embellished for heaps of fun!!!

Cant wait to see who is the idol??

Better than the idol on channel ten..lol

Now i also visited LSBS this weekend and managed a layout for them:




This was a sketch challenge that i really enjoyed..


*****
This layout was for scrapworld:

They were having a scrap and the city comp..But i didnt get any further than round three..




This one i did for a sketch at EMM..


And finally i spent some time at CRAFTING IN STYLE"S first cyber crop..
Its a brand new online shop and forum. So pop in and say hi to Jolene.
I completed two layouts that i am very happy with.

This first one was for a sketch challenge.


This second layout was to use four or more photos and it had to be related to something about firsts.Hence my first kiss caught on camera!


*****

And last but not least i did enter one challenge over at SCRAP PILE cyber crop.

Now perhaps you can see a common thread running through some of my layouts??

I brought some of the basic grey paper in the Romani line.
Now i thought it was gorgeous but had no idea what i was going to do with it as i first thought it was very girly, But i used it for Jacks layouts and i really loved it,, So used it all up on the weekend..lol
I dont think it looks too girly on his layouts,, Do you??
*****
Now all the scrap sites are over on the side bar if you want to go and check them out.
Im off to bed..
Night
