Another update

Well it was finally sunny enough to take some pictures today so here is another update of some layouts I have done. http://littleshopofsketches.wordpress.com/ puts a sketch challenge out every two weeks. Here's my take on sketch 31

For the Synlait christmas party 2008 Rob dressed up as a lion. We got Mum to come out and take some pictures, and he was just so proud of himself lol here he is jumping around (more like tigger than a lion) but the look on his face was priceless.

Yvette on the design team at Stampin Scrap has also set a challenge. This one has to be bright summer colours, have at least 5 layers on it and include a critter and a tree. Now I must admit this one had me stumped but I gave it a go and it actually wasnt as hard as I thought it would be . . .

Some of you probably know we went to Queenstown for our honeymoon last year. While down there we went on the jet boat - man what a blast. We got some pics taken and here is one of them.

And finally, while surfing the net I found a layout that looked so pretty I just had to try it . . .

Also while in Queenstown. This time we went on the Segway. Rob put this off till nearly the last day as it was on my list of things to do, not his lol. It took awhile to get used to the feeling of it, you stand on a wee platform thing and it all works on balance - you lean forward to speed up, back to stop and stand straight to just keep going (I think, remember this was a year ago lol). Also instead of turning the handle bars to turn a corner it just all works on your balance. Our tour took us through Queenstown, up and down some hills, along the beech, and through the gardens, took about an hour and we had so much fun. Rob came away wanting to buy one (only about $12000 lol) he thought it would be pretty cool for bringing the cows in, considering he didnt want to go on it lol.

Another Page

Well I couldnt help it, today I sat down and did another page lol

After nearly a day of housework yesterday hubby totally surprised me by saying I should take a break and do a page (so not like him!!!). I enjoyed the online class so much, and loved the layout that I decided to do another take on it . . .

This was taken at our wedding last year and combines all three families.

Well I've done my first online scrapbook class, over at stampin scrap and it was great. We all got sent a copy of the instructions and then met up in the chat room where Tanya took us through the instructions. Here is how my layout turned out . . .

Cant wait for the next class, as it gives me a good excuse to do a page lol

Valentines day

Happy Valentines day to everyone. Usually I would buy hubby something but I decided this year I would put some techniques to practice and made him an off the page jigsaw and a card. Here are some pics













Also our resident Queen Vicki at Stampin Scrap has set us the challenge of doing a page layout with a photo of ourself, some pink, some bling, and a crown. Here is what I came up with last night . . .

This photo was with taken on the day of my wedding with my Mum, myself and my bridesmaid Nardia.

My first post

Ok so I think I finally have my blog up and running, and YAY I have my first award already. Many thanks to Tanya for giving me this reward . .

No doubt there will probably be something on here that I dont like and end up changing, but for now hopefully it will serve its purpose :)
