My 400th Post!!!!!!!!

Whoo hoo, this is my 400th post.

My blogoversary is in about 30 days, that will be four years.

So I'm averaging 100 posts a year - not too bad.

I remembered when I started the blog, what will I write about???

I have made so many blogging friends over

 the 4 years, from all over the world.

What a wonderful world blogland is....

Even when we are struggling to get used to

the new Blogger Template "@#*!%#*

So, to my 400th post - Sketch # 203 from

Creative Scrappers....

The sketch....

I have used the Bo Bunny "Country Garden" Collection - beautiful....

The title is from the Combo Stickers in the collection....

Some netting under the title die....

The butterfly is cut from the papers and a wee bit

of Stickles to his body for sparkle....



All the flowers are Prima....



The wee fence is a Memory Box die "Rounded Fence"....

The leaves are Spellbinders "Foliage" die....

The rhinestones are Kaiser Deep Yellow

and the ribbon and lace are from my stash....

Photo of my beautiful Granddaughters

to be added (when I take it...LOL)

Latest news on the arrival of our worldly goods

is that they have to be delivered to us on 4th May - yay!!!!!

And daughter and I are leaving for a few days in London on that date....Typical.

Darling husband will have to deal with it all.

So, I will be returning from London to all my scrapping stash - life is good....

Be back again soon

Love & Hugs

Creative Scrappers # 202

Finally, a layout with a photo and title!!!!

Took this photo of my three darling Granddaughters last week, and sketch # 202 over at Creative Scrappers was perfect to showcase it..... 



The sketch, by Juliana Michaels.....





 

 



 

I have used the beautiful "Random" Collection of papers from Crate Paper...

Flowers by Prima - "Audrey Rose"....

 

Bling by Zva Creative.....

And Bazzill cardstock - with lots of distressing, including the photo.....

Now, to happenings at sea......

As most of you know, we are waiting the arrival of our worldly goods from Australia, which has now been delayed to the 22nd April.....

Let's Google the ship.....

Voila.....

The MSC Firenze.....

Yes, our worldly goods (and all my scrapping supplies and photo's, including vintage family heirloom photo's) are stacked on this container ship.....

Maybe I shouldn't have Googled it....

But, you gotta love Google.....

Creative Scrappers #190

Today I have my interpretation of Sketch #190 over at Creative Scrappers....





Again, using Graphic 45 Tropical Travelogue collection.....



The bling flourish is from Prima....



The journal and 100% fun stamps are from Kaiser....



Doilies from stash....





And along with sketch #189's layout, a double layout. I don't do too many doubles, so was quite happy with this one....



Happy scrapping.....

See you again soon....

Hugs

Creative Scrappers # 189

Hello again scrappy friends.....

I've been having a play with the sketches over at Creative Scrappers.....

Here is my interpretation of sketch #189.....





The papers are Graphic 45 "Tropical Travelogue" - love the vibrant colours of this collection....



A Kaiser stamp for the "Paradise in our own back garden"....



Photo is DH and Granddaughter Rebekah in January last year....







Still no sign of the house selling, the market is really slow everywhere, although we are getting a lot of interest, no offers yet....

Back in a couple of days with sketch #190....

Hugs

A Wonderful Day

Oh what fun to be back in my scrap room after the Christmas festivities.....

This is my interpretation of the latest challenge over at Creative Scrappers....



Sketch # 136 by Michelle Fowler....



The papers I have used are from a 12x12 Scrapbook Pad by Grace Taylor 'Vintage Elegance'.....



All the flowers and the little bling bird are by Prima - gorgeous....



Love these Prima Antique Mistletoe in Blizzard Blue - so sparkly....



And the chocolate box bow, which was in the 12x12 Grace Taylor pad....



A wee close up of the Martha Stewart Deep Edge Daisy Fan - an immediate dramatic effect, especially in a contrast colour.....



The photo's are DD and DGDs 1 & 3 at Fremantle on Boxing Day (26th Dec) this year......



Sadly my photo's are not up to my usual standard - because.....

I got a new camera for Christmas.....

I had NO idea.....

DH bought me a Canon EOS 500D.....

So, a steep learning curve now to learn how to use it.....

Think I will sign up for a few classes - this thing looks complicated.....

Meanwhile, I will practice on my beautiful granddaughters.....
