tabbed journal

... is my hybrid current project!

a KaiserCraft tabbed journal! I am in the middle of making the templates for this album. It's been really fun. I will hopefully finish it soon. It's my first official hybrid project and I couldn't be much more excited!

I will, of course, take progress shots along the way and will be happy to share the template with anyone interested in making one themselves.

It's going to be an album about myself and my mum called "Just the 2 of us"... a present for her birthday. Here's hoping she'll like it!

My first challenge at digichicks
{forum post}

I came across the digichick site by accident. I had just joined up at DigiShopTalk and found a link to a template challenge (with a really cute template!) and although I should have gone to bed, I instead started another LO, heh.

I like this one too :) I'm starting to get the hang of this thing!

caspar's first food

This is a result of a speed scrap I participated in, it was a lot of fun and not nearly as stressful as the first few I did! It was based around using contrasting colours from the colour wheel.

I was really happy with the results too. A cute LO me thinks!

caravan adventure

"Caravan Adventure"

This was our first trip away in my in-laws caravan, it was lots of fun! Being fairly pregnant and having a toddler who was too excited to sleep most of the time proved for an interesting time away! Overall a great time was had by all :)

Saturday Special #7 - Colour Challenge

at least FOUR of the following colours needed to be used for this challenge... I ended up making my own papers and template for this challenge, so that was fun. I used 5 of the 6 :) I'm learning more all the time!

What scrapbooking item are you?!

I saw this on erika's blog, who got it from britt, so I thought I'd have a go too!

What scrapbooking item are you?!

I'm... Fibers!

Fun and crazy at times. You are a warm fuzzy kind of person. You run around getting things done but still find time for fun! You have so many diverse interests that it is often hard to pin you down to any one thing. People love your friendly attitude and carefree ways. You often brighten other people's days. But Fibers Beware - Sometimes people don't take you seriously because of your happy-go-lucky ways. Sometimes you find yourself feeling left out from decision making that could directly affect you. Even though you like to be happy and cheerful, make sure others know that you can also be serious and in tune with reality.

what are you? take the quiz

Smile... Aisling & Felix

"Smile... Aisling & Felix"
my son felix and his best buddy; aisling. A pair of little gigglers who can always make me smile!

organising your bits 'n pieces

Okay, so it MAY be just after 2am in the morning... and I MAY be sick at the moment... but I'll tell you one thing. I'm nothing, if not consistent with getting a bee in my bonnet!

So this evening I have been organising ALL my digital scrapbooking stuff. It has taken HOURS. But it is soooo worthwhile. When I first started digi scrapping, I wasn't quite sure how it all worked and just kept downloading and downloading things... into the ONE folder. Who'd have thought I'd get so hooked?! (Anyone who's tried it I'd say!).

So, I have rationalised my collection, by getting rid of stuff I know I'll never use and organised everything else, as follows... (click to enlarge)

Previously it was like trying to find a needle in a haystack, so I am very excited to open picasa now and see all my lovely elements, kits, papers etc staring back at me, all nice and neat!

Is that weird??!

We have a long weekend this weekend, so now that I'm all organised, I'll hopefully get to actually scrap something! ;)
