Scapping: HMITM 97

Here is a scrap page from today. For HMITM. 



The challenge is to use 9 circles on a LO. I've used 9 types of circles.
1) Ink
2) PP in the shape of circles
3) Circles on printed paper
4) Wooden item
5) Brads
6) Gel embelly
7) Buttons
8) Rubbons
9) Ribbon with circles on it.

Maybe I went overboard...

The LO that was selected.

Scrapping layouts

Ok, here goes: 
My brother and his girl:

LDS, a friend from Uni:
Audrey, a friend from work:


A photo we took with the holga camera:


Photos Peter took with the fisheye camera. The story behind this is that Peter seems to get his finger in a lot of the photos he takes => his trad mark.

Somedays

First off, here is a photo Peter took with the fisheye the other morning. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. 

Peter has decided that we don't have enough photo's of me... so on the trips in December, he took some more of me.. Here is one.. Not 100% sure that I like it.. the eyes freak me out some times when I look at it.. And it would appear that the face pulling is my new pose for photos.
On Wednesday this week, one of the ladies that works with me, said thank you for help. Not sure I deserve them, but sure was the biggest surprise.  So funny, everybody at work wondered if it was my birthday... 
And then when I got home, Peter gave me these. First flowers he gave me since we've been in Australia.. and then on the same day!!
Especially loved the pic of the boxer that came with the flowers.... 

Ta for now.

The excitement in the air...

After years of thinking I should submit my LO's to something (as lets face is, nobody is objective about their own work), I did the first page today:

You can find it here, on two peas and here on 3 Angles Scrapping. (thanks to Ellen, Deb, Heike and Debbie D for the love at 3AS)

OOOO, the excitement.


Also, pop over to Sue's blog, she has a HUGE Rak up for graps.

Cheers,

Two more days of the Write stuff


A sneak peak from day two of the online class I'm taking from Jen Hall.
I think this is the most I have ever written on a layout. And I love the colours. I think this is one of my fav colour combo's.

We're having a really lazy day at home, as tomorrow we're back to the grind. Ahhhh!! And as Nat said, it is really really hot here in Perth.

On another topic, I thought I'd share some of my fav's from etsy.com:
1) Tea for Bini. Love the vintage feel of the items, and especially these Magnets.
2) Letters for Lilly. How freaking cute are they?
3) And if I have long hair, one of these from Olive Farm.
4) This year, I get some cards from Megan Isabella for someone. Or maybe even a print.
5) This journal.
6) I don't normally look for jewelry, but this makes me wish I did.
7) Vinyl Wall Design. So gonna get one when we move into a place of our own.

Well. That's me for now.

Randomness... (Is that a word??)

Comment..
Today we got our first comment on this blog. I never understood before why people go on about people commenting on their blogs, but now I do. Thanks Danice! Excited!

Scrapping...
Yesterday I started an online class with Jen Hall - the w
rite stuff. Hopefully by the end of the month I should be better at writing and sharing (and not just pic). Here is a part of the first LO I finished today. (Not sure how much I can share). I see you can still join the class, just mail her (see at the link above). So looking forward to see what everybody have done with the first day's class.

Road tip...
Yesterday, we went for a road trip. Lancillin and Two Rocks.... the long way round. Got so lost and the 120 km's took us 3 hours!! Will post photo's once I have then developed (yes, developed. We took the fisheye with and so have to have the film developed before we can share). 
I drove all the way... LOVE IT > Now for a lot of people this might not be a big thing, but seeing that we do not have a car, and I love driving, loved the drive yesterday. Tomorrow the hire car has to go back.

One other thing that I'm thinking of doing is the "Project 365". See Becky's blog for more info. Not sure I'm gonna be able to get my hands on the kit, so will have to do something like it, but not the kit.


And lastly:
Starving artistamps are giving away some of their new stamps. Love the DoodleFactory Valentine ReMix. Sooo cute.


Well, laters
