Another Scrap LO!

I created this LO for the Purple Pumpkin Sketch Challenge! I just love the embellishments you can get from them. I have used a Purple Pumpkin flower on this LO, I love how bright and funky it looks!

I have also used my April 'Nook' kit to create most of this LO with. I have to say that the colors and Papers from the April Kit are so not papers and colors I would normally pick, but I have to say that I have really enjoyed using this kit. Maybe I will get a chance to use my May kit before the July kit comes along...hehe!

Anyway here is the Sketch for the Purple Pumpkin Challenge

And here is my LO

I just realized that my lace bow is not sitting right in the photo as it was pretty windy when I took the photo of this LO this afternoon, oh well!

Ok I have played on the computer long enough, time to go and put my washing out and clean my bathroom....Aaarrrggghh! I hate Housework...hehe!

Somewhere Over the Rainbow!

We took these photos of a Rainbow that was over our house a month or so ago and I have been wanting to scrap them ever since. I just love how the Rainbow goes right over the top of our house, it's looks pretty cool!

Over at My Scrapbooking Nook, one of the girls came up with a great challenge which was to use a Song Title in your LO, so here is mine, whch I have also created using the April Nook kit. I am slowly going through this one, so hopefully I will get to the May kit before the July one comes...hehe!

I do have another LO I have finished earlier this week using the April Nook kit as well. I will try to photograh it and put it up in the next few days. I am finding photograhing Scrap LO's a little harder than cards. Does anyone have anything in particular that they do when they take photos of their LO's?

Ok so I need to go and make a start on some Pumpkin Soup that I have been promising Hubby I am going to make for the last week...hehe! Should make him happy when he gets back from taking Ella to her State Training Karate session!

YOur mission?  Create something Regal, Royal, or all of the above using the Sketch Jess provided...even if it's just a tiara, like Ballet Anya here, it all counts!

 Ok so I know I told you last week that my kids had been pretty sick, well lucky me they decided to share their germs and I have been in bed sick for the last 5 days. OMGosh I have never felt so crappy, no wonder the kids weren't happy! So anyway I am onto some antibiotics now and hopefully things will start to pick up! 

Hope you are all enjoying the TGF Royalty contest! I know I am, there are seriously so much fabulous entries in the Gallery!

It's a Royal Deconstructed Sketch!

Now I have used this weeks Decontructed Sketch for my Card. Here is the Sketch:

Don't you just love it! I love round cards, they alwasy look just that little bit fancy...hehe! So here is my Wedding Themed card with the Gorgeous new Princess 3, I think she is just perfect for a Wedding Card!

Well it has been a crazy week here, we have a couple of sickies and it is not much fun, up most of the nights and then not very happy during the day. My youngest vomitted everywhere in the car today when I was on my way to an appointment. Needless to say I was late as I had to pull over and fix him up, my poor little man!

Hope everyone else is having a good week!

August is Here.....

Well Lil Pinkette August that is...hehe!

I have been working on this box for a little while and have finally finished it. It was all done with the exception of the image colored in, so when I saw that this weeks challenge over at Tickled Pink was 'Anything Goes', I decided that now was the time to finish it.

 My daughter got an Ipod Touch for her birthday and I decided to make this box for her to keep it in. She usually just leaves things around her room where her little brother can grab them and wreck them. Like last year when she got an Ipod Nano and 2 weeks after getting it her little brother had dunked it into the toliet like it ws a biscuit he was dunking in his coffee. Needless to say he stuffed it and we had to buy her a new one.....Ggrrhhhh!

SO I decided that this new Ipod Touch needed a better home.......

So she has been keeping her Ipod Touch in it SO far, well it has only been a day...hehe! 

We have had a pretty busy weekend with Karate and Footy here. On Friday night we had the Karate Victoria Dinner where they announced the Victorian State Team and I am SOOOOO excited to tell you that my 10yr old Daughter Miss Ella was selected....YAY! So it is on to the Nationals competition for her in August, which lucky for her and her Dad, is in Caloundra, QLD. We are so proud of Ella, she has been working really hard to get selected and all her hard work has paid off!

Ok so not to forget my Son Brody who kicked a Goal at footy yesterday, we were very excited. Way to go Brody! Plus they won as well, which always makes the day better...hehe!

Anyway I am off to take kids to the Dr's as I have 2 kids that are pretty sick and have been all weekend. I just hope they don't pass it on to anyone else, don't like my chances...hehe!
