Scrapbook Memories

this month has a double layout of mine in it. I love this layout!!!! Although the mag washed out the colors so much so you can't even tell how lovely it is. All my babies as newborns!!! They all look so different to each other. Oh I just looooovvveeee babies. LOL.

Another

Monday so another great challenge sketch at Pencil Lines. I really enjoyed this weeks sketch, it was so my style!!!. I used some photo's of Katelyn that I took the very first fishing trip for the summer this year and some beautiful Fancy Pants ribbons and rubons that I have had for a while and just had to use. I enjoyed putting this page together so head over for a look and check out what the other sensational ladies have been up to this week also, they all rock and the pages always look so different.

Oh my

see what happens when I'm not looking. My counter hit 10,000 tonight and I would love to send out a RAK to the visitor who came by at 10 minutes to 11 on the 22 November. You were the visitor that was my 10,000 guest. How unreal is that!!!! You then went over to check out Pencil Lines, so if you are this visitor please leave me a comment and I can get this RAK out to you.

In other news our Workshop day was a huge success, we sold all our kits and even had a waiting list. LOL. Who would have guessed it would be such a success. Well we are going to have a class again next month and already half the spots are taken!!! WOO HOO Will share more in depth news and photo's on the Scrapping Angels blog later on. But currently I'm working on a really big project that is taking every spare moment this week. I'm so excited about this and hopefully I can share with everyone real soon.

Catch you all soon

Bit cheeky

but I'm running out of time this week so I doubled up on a layout that was due for Pencil Lines with the DT pack I received from Scrap Happy. I love this Cosmo Cricket paper it's just gorgeous thanks so much to Kim and Ray at Scrap Happy for sending it as the DT pack it's just gorgeous. If you want a pack for yourself click the above link to head over there, they have it in a kit for sale, how awesome if you hadn't guessed I love kits. The other DT girls have done an awesome job of using it too so check them out while your there. Kim and Ray would really like to build up the forum over at their happy site so they have started a competition going. The person who introduces the most friends to Scrapp Happy wins. So all my friends out there go and register and have a chat with us cause we're all great girls and let them know I sent you and then I will win YAY YAY YAY .LOL.
Head to Pencil Lines to check out this weeks guest designer and guest sketch artist.......0ur very own Scrappy Angel Carole Janson . She is such a talent and a truly wonderful person too. If you haven't seen her stunning work it is a must you will be impressed, I guarantee it.

That's it for today I have lots still to do so till next time, see ya

A little late

But I thought I would share the LO's I had in Scrapbooking Memories this past month....
This first one is so old, it's a bit embarrassing to have in the mag this month. It's very simple and was accepted so long ago but kept getting pushed back and back until now it is finally in. I love it so that's all that counts I guess, It brings back fantastic memories and that what scrapping is all about isn't it.

The next one is a commissioned work using products they sent me, not my style of products as I very rarely use pastels but I was happy with it when I was done. I had so many photos of a recent trip away it was nice to use one of them as a little personal comparison between Tahlia and I.

And finally my favorite. This LO was inspired by one of Zina's classes at ISC Gold Coast 06, I'm so sad :-( there is no more ISC's!!! It was a DT page I did for Scrap Happy . As the journaling says these girls and I met at ISC's and have continued to catch up at them all the time, we grew to be good friends and always will be.

Whew there you go my contribution to SM. LOL. There has been lots of changes going on at SM and next year should see some exciting things coming through. I have my first article early in the year which is exciting and I can't wait to see it.

Also don't forget to check out Pencil Lines this weekend as our very own Carole Janson is the guest sketch designer and it is a truly fantastic sketch, so head over there and check it out and get your project in to the readers gallery so you can be in the running for a RAK!!!!!! Gota be in it to win it!!!!!!

Ok that's it, I'm really busy getting ready for the workshop next weekend so keep those expressions of interest coming in for the Scrapping Angles Australia designers positions, we will make a decision after then.

See ya,

On the lookout.....

for a couple more designers for Scrapping Angels. We are not expecting people to apply, it's not a competition but we are on the lookout for a couple of different designers with unique styles to enhance our already amazing team. We do blog hop and look at galleries and mags ect but if you would like to be noticed and are interested in a design position with us please send us a link to so we can view your projects. And of course if you know of someone who would be fabulous in a design role pass on this news to them, in fact tell everyone you can think of, spread the word as you never know who might be just the right person for us. All contact and links will be kept confidential and can be sent to me at trish@scrappingangels.com.au

My Big Big Big Exciting News..........

Tara and I are launching a new business............OMG OMG OMG !!!! We are so excited that after months of talks and preparation we are going to be partners with the fabulous Anna Bowkis and we are so incredibly thankful that she is entrusting us with the awesome honor of building up our very own Scraping Angels here in Australia.

Over the coming weeks we will be releasing more exciting news about this incredible and inspirational global venture but for now here's a little taste of what's to come.....

In April and September Scrapping Angels UK will be holding retreats and in October 2007 Scrapping Angels Australia will be holding their first retreat. We have many planned workshop days and will be attending many of your favorite Craft fairs in 2007 to hold classes and showcase our kits.

Both sites will be concentrating on having inspirational, creative kits and talented Design Teams members. We have started to bring our Teams of Angels together and they have already begun to design some fabulous kits and classes. We are very proud to announce that our very own Carole Janson and from the UK Ann{I}e Hafferman are part of the DT. Watch out for more of your favorite scrappers who are designing kits and classes for us. We are very proud to be able to bring many fabulously talented designers together in the spirit of teaching and sharing.

Scrapping Angels will have its own blog to keep you updated on all the going ons and we will be holding online classes and much more to keep you inspired. For a 'behind the scenes' view of Scrapping Angels Australia you can check out our blog also.

Ok as much as I would love to rave on about this all night I have lots of work to get done. I have my very first article to get done for SM and my next layout for Pencil Lines which is having huge success with more exciting news on that real soon, but firstly we have a BIG BIG designer from the US as the guest DT this weekend, it is just all so exciting.
Tara and I are heading off to Sydney this weekend for classes with Elsie Flannigan and Carrie Utley from Chatterbox and although I do love our Australian designers I just don't have time to do classes with any of them this time.

I have noticed many more visitors to my blog recently so please say hello, I don't bite much. LOL I would love to 'meet' you, so leave a post and I can come by and visit you too.
