WHAT IVE BEEN UP TOO, (IN THE SCRAPBOOKING WORLD)

Well im into round five at the scrapbook chalet survivor comp.. I think i just barely scrapped in by the skin of my teeth!.

The challenge was" Two valentine cards and a valentine canvas"

With my canvas i wanted a different look, the photo to be a bit different so i cropped really close.

I wasnt really too happy with the design of my canvas, i left it too late and ended up rushing it, but i did like my cards..So whoever voted for me THANKYOU!!!

First my canvas

Second: my two cards using the blush basic grey range..
Ive also been busy over at Crafting in style....
They have their search for a DT member on.

First challenge: A layout with at least two frames.

Now this photo of Jack ive had floating a round for soooooo long and decided now was the time to scrap it!!!

I sanded and used rubons on the photo for a framing effect. i made a collage background to frame the photo, i stitched around the boarder and then added small bling flowers to give another framw. Lastly i cut the bazzil in a scalloped edge to give the layout a frame.

I also made this tag as a side challenge in the DT search.. Just a quickie for Jackson.

Also over at Scrapbook city, ive made it into the final tweenty for their Reality scraps. Ive been given a partner and the game has begun. The first challenge was to scrap about a passion using papers from a kit you purchased.

Here is mine, about books of course.

Well thats all in the scrapping world for now. A few CCs this weekend so ill see if i get any done..

MY REAL WORLD..
Not a lot happening on the home front..
Except my daughter now thinks its cool to put a strecther in her ear lobe. for those not up on peircings and such it is a large plastic, cone looking thingo, about 3cm in diameter and about 6cms long. You push it through your already exsisting earring hole, yes ouch, and stretch the hole till it goes all the way through and then just sits there.(for us who have had children the word stretching and hole do not go togther the same ever again).. After a while you can take it out and.... you have a large hole. Now forgive me if i dont seem to excited about the whole thing, thats because it looks disgusting and makes my blood run cold. She says its hip, and the in thing..Hmm. ive told her that i can only see one benefit for this large ugly peice of plastic in her ear. And that is..that when she is 90 years old, big , fat and a granny. Sitting in the nursing home, waiting for the kids to visit. She will have no problems getting her old gaudy hoop earings into the hole. And i guess she wiont be wearing studs in the hole ever again.
