SOUS sketch #58

I loved the latest sketch over at Stuck On U Sketches, and came up with this layout of DGD Rebekah in 2009. She was 2....


The sketch, by Liz Qualman....


Using my Lime Tart June 2011 Full Tart....


Papers are Girl's Paperie "Vintage Whimsy"


Flowers are Prima and my stash...


Alphas are Webster's Pages and American Crafts Thickers....


The wee journal stamp is from Autumn Leaves....


I cut the bunting on Cricut using 'Carousel' cartridge at 4 inches....


Too cute......

Now for something interesting - with reference to the beautiful award I received from Nanne, and previous awards I have received - do you ever wonder where they come from???

I decided to investigate.....

I followed the award backwards (KWIM) to its origin - authors.....
They award each other upon the publishing of new novels (saw a few familiar names)and guess what - they had to send it on to 15 (FIFTEEN!!!!!) other authors - thank goodness it was 8 by the time it got down to us scrapbookers....LOL

I did discover a lot of new blogs on my travel back in time - there are a LOT of blogs out there - it was fun, but time consuming....

Off to a class at Inspired Crafts tonight, by fellow DT member Mandy - love her style....

Hugs for now

Next up I have received an adorable reward from my Scrapping buddy Nanne, over at Nanne's Creations....

Too yummy.....



I have to list 7 things about myself and then pass the award to 8 of my scrappy friends...

I never know what to write when it comes to these awards, so I asked DH to write down 7 things about me (that I could publish on the World Wide Web....LOL). Here's what he came up with....

1 I'm a Scrapaholic

2 There are more gadgets in my scraproom than the rest of the house

3 Love family history and research

4 Hate work - semi retired

5 Love shopping - scrappy shopping

6 Manic driver - the road's mine

7 Did I mention I'm a scrapaholic

8 Hate technology

That's eight I said to him, but Scrapaholic is a repeat - MEN!!!

Anyway, that's what hubby says about me......

Now to pass this award along to 8 irresistibly sweet blogging buddies....

1 Sharli

2 Carole

3 Curt

4 Leonie

5 Tracey

6 Tereesa

7 Tara

8 Glee

You must hop over to these folks blogs - they are making some wonderful creations out there, and I am honoured to be a part of this world wide hobby....

Blogger might play up sometimes, but we wouldn't have all these wonderful friends without Blogger and the other hosts....

Thank you again Nanne for thinking of me when you passed on this award.....

Hugs for now

HOME!!!!!!

Hello everybody - I'm back in Oz.

Had a wonderful time in Scotland with family, shame the weather was absolutely awful - it rained everyday, except one.....

Never mind. Spent lots of quality time with my Dad, children and my gorgeous granddaughters, and lots of lovely photo's to play with.....

Just to get over the jet lag now - that long haul journey doesn't get any easier!!!!

Back into my scrappy room in a couple of days.....

Be back soon

Hugs
