New site(for me) to inspire!

I've recently discovered "pencil lines" website which has a sketch each week to inspire me. I've completed one sketch 81 . I loved the way this one came together and I even used my sewing machine!

Graduation time.

Here is my daughter Erica at her Graduation in Charles Sturt Uni Wagga Wagga. She is now a B.A (Design for theatre and television).
I'm so proud of her achievements as this course has been hard going at times with lots of practical work and long hours at the theatre.It has been a growth time for her and she is quite the independant young lady now!

Back again-that 21st Album.

With all that is going on here I've been neglecting this blog. My daughter graduates next week. I'm so proud of her.She now is a B.A. (Design)
Thanks to Purplescraps I have a renewed interest in scrapbooking. I've been doing Erica's 21st album which has gotten me down because it is taking so long, but finally it is nearly there.She has commented on what a good job I'm doing so that is also motivation for me.
A friend , Kaye has had a layout published in scrapbook creations. It looks great!

Entry for design team

I noticed on Scrapware that there was a call for a design team so I have sent an entry in. It seems a lot of these sites have their friends as their design team but I thought I'd try. I need some new challenges this year since my scrapbook teaching has finished.I've been doing the sketch challenges on Purplescraps and still working on the CJ's.Other than that I only do occasional layouts for family etc photos. Hopefully the new digital camera will inspire me to get into it again.

She passed!

Finally we have had some good news.Erica passed her uni courses so she will now graduate as a B.A. I'm sooooo proud of her achievements. Now the next step is to get a job in theatre somewhere. Hopefully they need a costume designer.I don't often blog about personal things happening but this is a biggie. It may call for a layout I think.

Erica's 21st.

Here's a layout I've done for Aussie Scrapjacked. It was at Erica's 21st and being a costume designer now, she needs a page about how she organised this outfit for her fantasy themed party.There were also large black wings (not worn in this photo). I went for the Parisienne look with the antique heart and swirly rub-ons and curly writing.The 7 gypsies card went beautifully I thought.

Busy, busy, busy.

I've been too busy to be blogging for a while.My daughter has completed uni and moved home awaiting results and a job.My mother has had pneumonia then been in respite care for 3 weeks.This has involved a lot of my time. My scrapbooking has gone on the back burner for the moment. I participated in 2 Secret Santas on line and received some beautiful scrapping stuff in return.I've also done 2 circle journals for purplescraps.Every moment matters has had a christmas Card competition which I've been part of, involving one card to make each week. my friends and family were given these and have admired them.
