November Sketch at Anna's Craft

Here's novembers sketch challenge over at Anna's Craft Cupboard. Do a LO based on this sketch and upload to the gallery HERE and be in the draw to win a $35 voucher includng free postage.


And here's my take on the sketch - I've flipped it on it's side - and if you look close enough you can see that the circle is there - it's just stitched in cream.

Ok - Bradley is on the header today so have had a scrappy day while on my lonesome (well, with the company of 3 lovely children too - not all *that* lonely LOL!)
Got my DT parcel from Anna on Friday and *sigh* just love the new Cosmo Cricket Nutmeg range - it has woodgrain patterns on the reverse of every paper - in all diff colours - how fun is that? (yes - that IS my idea of fun - bit sad hmmm?)



This 2nd LO is a scraplift of a LO of Mary Macaskill's - seeing as I was lacking inspiration and took a quick walk through 2Peas last night.
[Pretty much all products on these lo's are available at Anna's Craft Cupboard]

To keep Bon happy....

LOL - NOT - as I've got absolutely nothing to share I dont' think.
I've just got a parcel of stuff from Anna's Craft Cupboard though, full of the new October Afternoon and Cosmo Cricket - so will have something to share soon.
It's been a rough and emotional couple of weeks - my Mum's brother died and seeing as she had only just lost her Dad, Mum is really quite heartbroken. So I've been down spending time with her - and then also went back down this week for the funeral which was actually a great stroll down memory lane. My brother gave the eulogy and it was just perfect especially as he was really close to our uncle.
But with the 10 hour trip down south, then the funeral and then coming back up yesterday/last night has really drained me and am feeling really flat today. So no scrapping for a little bit.

But just for something to share (and to perk this post up a bit) I've got these photos to share of the kids in the crop - I saw on Pip Prosser's blog (I think it was) of putting a chair in the crop and I thought how much better that looked than just kids standing in a crop.
And as for the people reading this that ACTUALLY grow crops and are feeling sorry for this one, just remember we are on a station.LOL!
STATION = PASTORAL LEASE = CAN'T SELL YOUR CROP
It means that we can't sell this - we can only use the grain and hay for livestock feed - so we basically chuck the crop in the ground with fertiliser and whatever
s there at the end of the season is there - we don't put any more money into it to get higher yields or less weeds. Just thought you should know that!LOL

Using the Crate Paper "North Pole" embellishments from Anna's Craft Cupboard.

Oh I DO have one to share....

Forgot about this LO - this is using the Kaisercraft "Pack Your Bags" range.
I used this range before but never used that compass looking stamp - and never realised it was actually a date kind of stamp - it has the days/months/years printed in it so you can mark your date using it.
I just thought I'd point that out seeing as you may not know - seeing as I had the stamps set for a while before I realised!!LOL.

Stupid old slow computer....

LOL - my laptop is in at the doctor's hopefully getting a persoanlity transplant so I'm on my old sloooow computer. My laptop really just has to get over itself and do it's job - which would be much easier if it just didn't overheat all the time and actually STAY ON! Get your head in the game, laptop!
Anyway, where was I? Oh - old computer - slow - not blogging to share my news til now.......
Ok - my news is..
I was lucky enough to make the Scrapbooking Memories Masters short(but really quite long)list! YAY. I am just happy to have made the list as I wasn't completely sure about my entry this year, so am just happy to get on there and not expecting to get any further.
Especially since I am in terrific company with all the names on that list. Of the 5 design team girls at Anna's Craft Cupboard - 4 of us got on there, and the other DT member is already a Master so can't enter!LOL. And I'm also on there with 3 of my Kaisercraft DT'ers as well. Wishing all the girls the very best of luck with it!

Sorry I dont' have any LO's to share - been working on stuff which I'll be able to show later - not much help right now I know............

Puzzle Sketch

The new pieces are up and here they are. And there's my take on them - using some Fancy Pants products generously supplied by Scrap Therapy, with Fancy Pants being their MAN of the month.
I think I was feeling a bit "Elsie Flannigan" when I did this LO - must've been the cloud - but I love how it turned out.
