Scrap Tuesday

So how was your Scrap Tuesday ? Got your links ready for Mr Linky? 

Mine was slightly hyperactive, Im still in that mood actually (Sorry long suffering husband!!), too much triple chocolate cheesecake

We were one down this week, which the only good part of that is more M 'n Ms for us! Cindy (blogless) we missed you!

I did a bit of fart arseing around today. Got very messy with PVA and paint. I had a few things in my head I wanted to try. One of which Im still working on, the other ( a background cardstock) I trailed in potato stamp form. Its over a servietted, painted background.  Not sure, every time I look at it I think of Greece. Is that just my strange brain?

Though I can show you what I was working on Last Scrap Tuesday! It was my last GDT work for the Dollies ( sob! ). Their wonderful Orange, brown and neutral challenge has just been posted. 

I used a paper mache carry case, and covered the bottom half in a hessian shopping bag from Coles. I though that was a lil plain so just free cut a basic stencil to add a lil somethin' somethin'.

 The top I dived into a wonderful gift from the amazing Teresa, these Vintage Home journals. Which are a crack up to read! Though have me slightly concerned that my knees may be to fat — thankfully their advice column has helped me in that area. No more unsightly knees for me.

A few finishing Touches and Wallah. I really enjoyed making this one. 

 

So what have you done lately?? Add the blog link to your creations and link on up. Mr Linky is hungry and needs links!

 

speaking of Mr linky, Ive linked my case up to Get Your Craft On

Sugar rush has died and Im to buggered to even go watch my Big Love or Greys Anatomy ( thank IQ foxtel for allowing me such joy even when Im out at family dinners!)  So Im off to bed, I'll catch up on all of you tomorrow! Nighty Night Dont let the bed bugs bite.

Ps If you make said cheesecake go with the reviews and use slightly less gelatin — the cake is well worth its slight fiddleness!

PPs Dont forget the fabulous Dollies are having a Dollie call!

12!

12 ruddy gigabytes we have gone through! So now we are on slow power till Monday. I dont know how we used to do it ( in my old package I had 2, we spent most of the month on slow power). I tell you there will be far less of the boys catching up on Pokemon and Suite life on Deck on youtube this coming month!!

 

On a Scrap Tuesday post, a few down, I gave you that sneak, 

Now for the full effect. 

Yep, he too, seems to be a football loving kid as well. Im doomed to bad sports telly for ever and ever! I mean, they could at least go for a team that wins occasionally! And the season is about to start again! AGHHH!

 This is based off the Dollies most fabulous sketch for this week! 

I cant tell you how much fun I have had, playing with the Dollies, and being a guest Dolly. ( I like to imagine Im Doctor Barbie — well at least Doctor Barbie, until my sister cut of all her beautiful blonde hair and gave her underarm hair — plus in another unmentionable place... ) 

You could be a Design Dolly as well. They are having a Dolly call! 

Ps I seem to have lost my photo taking of layouts ability! — Any extra special tips I should know?

The non sappy sort

We dont really do Valentines Day here. We are not really a mushy sort of couple ( I think thats part of the reason we eloped). We do say I love you a lot to each other, but it's usually followed by but only because its tuesday, or  cause your but looks good in those jeans.  

Anyway, one of the fabulous challenges for Design Dollies was to create a Valentine something with no red or pink. 

So with those 2 things in mind this is what I came up with this....

The handwritten writing says — sorry you missed it, I wanted it to have a more traditional sugary valentine feel about it, with an unexpected message.

I tried a few things before choosing that one. This is one I tried, to give my 2 eldest boys.

So go and play, you know you want too!

Ps the good looking but will be playing with his boys ( Fatt Lipp) at the Carousel at Rooty Hill from 8, and I get to go for a bit! Whoo Hoo! Freedom! Dressing and talking to adults!! Whoo hoo!! Hurry up and finish your turn in laws so I can go over!!

Late Scrap Tuesday!

Proof that one layout got done (even if it is one that has to hide for a lil bit, and not just cause I could not get a get a good photo of it!), amungst that chatting with divine Friends, drinking cuppas, feeding babies, and I even got a row of crochet in there!

Thanks Daph, Blogless Cindy and our new very cute, very talented friend Beth!

Ps The wonderful Laura suggested I make this a Mr Linky party, what do you think? I love seeing peoples work ( thats why Im slightly addicted to the odd late night blog surf I think!),  so I quite like the idea.  Whose up for that next tuesday, would you share?

PPs edited to make it clearer, Mr Linky wise ( in my defense it was written early in the morning - which I am allergic too!)

So if you create something (scrapbooking or whatever!!!) on a Tuesday, pop the link to the blog post about it so we can have a looksie!

I get to play with Dolls

Design dollies that is! Im so excited to be guest Design Dolly, for the month of February. The standard has already been set extremely high from Januarys guest DD - the fantabulous Karen.

 Go and see this weeks fabulous sketch and all the wonderful eye candy it helped produce!

Here is what I did with it.

Go, play with Dolls! It's the only chance in this house of crazy, smelly, wonderful boys, that I get too!

Its back......

School is back in so Scrap Tuesday is now reinstated!! And I actually got things done!!!

 A piece of my guest DT work for Design Dollies, my C page for Friday, and a layout, All while chatting, laughing figuring out what naughty kids were up to, and holding cranky babies.

Ill show you the layout and the rest has to wait a lil.....

Thanks Daph and blogless Cindy for helping to try and keep me sane!

I did the love on this paper a million years ago and was just waiting and waiting for the right time to use it! 

Oh and the baby isn't Kook! Go ahead take another look - yep, Im figuring out which baby is by birth mark or lack of!! My sweet middle was a staypuft marshmellow baby so that helps give it away in this one! (He had rolls on his rolls and then they had rolls!)

ps Ill keep my 2nd mini giveaway open till midnight EST.

A sneak and a giveaway

Thanks for the support about the dreaded phone company. Hubby was impressed with me tonight!!

A quick sneak of what I was up to last night. Anyone recognize the purple, open here? Its from a certain packaging. And because Im in a great mood, If you can name what was in the wrapper, ill include you in the chance to win a small prez, 

A hint can be found here (in my top 5 things), and another hint is it has been in the news ( well the company) as I believe an american company is trying to by it from the uk this past week. 

So leave a comment by Tuesday the 2nd.

Ps both the company and the product start with the third letter of the alphabet. 

PPs its bloody delicious!! And I might have a slight addiction! 

Small toot of my own horn!

Lookie here!
