Lighter matters.

I've been very busy scrapping while watching the Olympics. It is great to multitask.Here's 2 layouts I've done.The first Grotto, is in green and gold, my 2 favourite colours.The other was required by white with one and had to feature purple and handsewing. I'm pleased with how they both turned out.

On a less happy note I'm still missing Tuppence's little face meeting me at the door when I come home.The kitchen floor is clean of cat scraps. LOL. It just isn't the same around here without her.

R.I.P. Tuppence

This afternoon I took our cat Tuppence to the vet to be euthenaised. She was almost 17 and in poor health.It is a very sad day for us here.There are reminders of her everywhere around here.

October Retreat

I have just booked in for a retreat in country Victoria in October.I will be attending with Julie, a friend I met through Purplescraps. We had such fun last year I thought another dose of "uberscrapping" would be good.

There are 2 new challenges to create on white with one,a yellow with flowers and a purple with hand stitching.I plan to start on these tonight.

I've also seen some cheap green buttons on ebay so I have put a bid on those.They will be ideal for scrapping layouts.

Cyber crop and another lucky win.

Purplescraps had another cybercrop on Friday night.I won the bingo competition online for the 2nd time in a row. This time I won a hot glue gun from Purrfect invitations. I'm looking forward to using it as I've never had one before. I'm sure it will increase my talents/skills in scrapbooking,especially for off the page ideas.

We had to do another black and pink layout which I have here.It was to include a black cat, the logo from Purrfect's website.

Missed out on a design team :(

I read on the mystical scrapbooks site that I missed out on the design team.I was sad in a way since I like using black backgrounds,..... but onward and upward.
There is another 2 I'm contemplating entering.

Ribbon Rocks! online class.

I did an online class teaching some of the techniques for using ribbons. There are 4 on this layout. Using scraps with a brad,pleating using loops then stapling them,and 2 flowers.The flowers are made by looping ribbon around 3 fingers then cutting them or sewing them then fanning out to make a rosette.I was really pleased with how this one came together!

White with one blog

I've entered my basic grey layout ponder in this month's white with one.I really loved the old postcard and had fun making the button frame.
