2 of 23!

Yep that's right, here are 2 of my 23 layouts from the weekend. Being a whole weekend of scrapping the layouts vary. Many are simple ones, and some are more gourment (LOL), yea, some stitching and even painted chipboard, so stay tuned. It just depended on my mood at the time. The first layout was one of my first ones I completed on Friday, which I based on a sketch, which I rarely do, but I needed to kick start things without too much pressure, hehe . The second one highlights Emmy's healing head.

I hope you have all popped over to http://www.rememberwhen.com.au/ to the blog because I have a few little guest blog entries coming up (one already), which is very exciting. And there is a new owner Lee, who is bringing in some fun, fab new products, including the fab Bazzill just the edge, and yea Bazzill in a Box is back.

Ok I best scan some more layouts, there a few I am really happy with. So don't forget to check back.

Bye

They tried to make me go to rehab..

I said No No No. But I am thinking maybe, LOL. I had a mega weekend away at Rawsons Village at the Very Special Scrap Getaway which raises money for Very Special Kids. I went with a dear friend and a heap of fun girls. There was much fun and frivolity. I drank way too much alcohol, and have felt seedy for 3 days, LOL. So now I can detox this week. In amongst the fun I did get some scrapping done. I managed a stellar 23 layouts (one of which is a simple double), 2 cards, featured below and an 8 x 8 mini album of our Apollo Bay family getaway in January. I love my 2 cards. The first is for my dear friend Annie, whose birthday is in May, so I am getting in early. And the second is for my daughter Emmy, who is 3 in August, super organised, hey! But when you want to make a nice card it is nice to have the time to put some effort into it.

On looking at my layouts when I got home, I was pleasantly surprised. I had forgotten some of them, and would think oh that's nice. LOL Ok I am soo tired I better get to bed. I have a full week of work and then a trip to Deni. No rest for the wicked.




HAVE A FANTASTIC WEEK.

Doing a Happy Dance...

Cause it is only 3 more sleeps til I hit Rawsons Village and scrap for 3 days or so. Yea. I cannot wait, true time to myself is few and far between. And also because I whipped up this card and I love it. I am now the social co ordinator at work, so I collect the money, organise a team building day, christmas function, birthday list and organise presents for people who leave/have a baby etc. Anyway someone is leaving this week, so we are having a lunch and so I got the pressie, and of course a card has to accompany it. Well I can't bring myself to buy a card so I made one. I used the paper from the gift wrap. It looks perfect sitting against the present. The brads, ribbon, cardstock and stamp is all Stampin' Up!

OK best I get sorted for work for the next 2 days.

See ya

Stampin' Up!s annual retired list is HERE

Ok girlies,

Get your catty’s out and mark off the ones you love and haven’t got yet,or maybe you will find some new must haves. Now is the time because it is time to say goodbye. That’s right, the 2008 – 2009 catalogue and idea book retired list is out.

Go to the website to see the full list - http://www.stampinup.com.au/ or leave a comment (or email) and I can email you the full list.

This is exciting because it means you might get a bargain, because some of the sets are marked at between 25 – 50% off, and there are also the sets that go towards the bushfire appeal, of which we have amazingly already contributed $34,653.80. An amazing effort. So thank you.

This offer lasts until the 31st March, or until SOLD OUT.

And if any of you have current in colour ink pads (wild wasabi, soft sky, blue bayou, river rock, groovy guava, purely pomegranate), then I recommend you buy the re inker now, as they will be gone.

Also due to the current economic state, some of the products will have price rises. Ink Pads will be going up to $11.95. So if you have some you love and have been meaning to get, now is also a good time as, you will get a bargain.

The new designer series papers will also return to the proper price of $19.95 (the current bargain price was a print error that SU honoured). The new ones are beautiful, and I might have to get all 6 I think. But if you want to stock up on your patterned paper for a bargain, then the current ones are beautiful too.

Of course if your order comes to $300, you will get a FREE hostess set to and $30 to spend (more if the order is more)

Any orders over $100 will also receive the new 2009 -2010 Catalogue FREE as a BONUS from me!

Please contact me with any queries.

Orders are being taken any time from now until the end of March.

Kind Regards,

Karen

Butter wouldn'tmelt...

OR WOULD IT, hehe.

Aren't they cute. Here are my treasures Harrison (Harry) and Emmerson (Emmy) at a recent photo snap.It looks so beautiful all framed in our lounge. Today they have been playing with play dough, and painting. Mostly they play very well together. Whether it is in the sand pit, cubby house, on the tramp or reading stories they are good mates. There is just the occasional whack, of course.

have an awesome weekend

Hey there. Just wanted to pop in and say have a great weekend. We have a kiddies party on Sunday, hence the card post. Not my best work ever, I was in a hurry, but it is still cute. Hoping this cool dino set will be in our next catalogue, which comes out 1st April. Stay tuned for the Stampin' Up! retired list to be posted early next week.

Tomorrow will be a quiet day. I am heading to the library to chase a book by Charlaine Harris. The first one is called ‘Dead until Dark’. Also a vampire series, it is eerily similar (but more adult)to Twilight. But released in 2001, 3 years earlier. The series True Blood on Foxtel at the moment is based on it, and I am really loving it. I then have a night duty Saturday night, so my budget is coming along.

Ok I am off to the movies with Katrina (hey Kat) to see He's just not that into you. Looking ofrward to a laugh, and maybe some popcorn, yummo!!

2 months in..

Ican't believe that the first 2 months of the year are nearly over. Oh well, just a step closer to turning 40. Hehe. I am busy doing a few extra night dutys, and getting a balance of life. I am really enjoying putting things into perspective. So much can wait til tomorrow. We had a fun trip to Mordialloc beach on Sunday, where we had lunch at a cafe and then the kids had a play. I am working 3 days at work this week, and then plan to see he's just not that into you on Friday. Can't wait for a girly laugh. Oh god i have a scrap retreat in just over a week too, how awesome. Woo Hoo.

Here are my babies, so beautiful and sweet and precious. and a card, which is a reject from a set of 10 quick cards i did for a mag submission.

Enjoy the rest of the week my dears.
