Monday Morning

It's a public Holiday here today, yay we sure can use it. I'm looking forward to having a nice visit with Marie today, I'm going to share with her all the fantastic projects Tara and I did last weekend with Making Memories, sadly Marie was unable to attend, she would have loved to come and see any new techniques and products ect for the ladies she teaches in our local shop. But next time we plan to get in early and all go together.

And of course being Monday Pencil Lines is up, so a very big welcome to the lovely Leah Fung who is joining us this week as our Guest Design Team member. Leah has also provided a gorgeous Sketch done as either 12x12 or 8x11 for this week's Challenge.

When I was preparing to go away last weekend, I was planning my layouts for Pencil Lines, for something different instead of going for my most recent photos, I went through old archived photos on my computer to look for photos I hadn't scrapped yet. I don't do this often enough cause I found heaps I loved and wanted to scrap. You know those older photos that didn't seem good enough to scrap at the time, well now I have looked back I love the quirky little things Ethan particularly has done over the years. Sadly he is the only one that I have in digital format but one day I may go through the old film albums and negatives and look for shots of the other kids. I have used photos from Ethan's second birthday, yep he is now nearly five, I just love the look on his face in the main photo!!!

So any way Pencil Lines is up today, and I will share mine here now, it's a very simple layout compared to others I do, but having so many photos is unusual for me too, this is another reason why sketches are so good, it can lead you in a direction you haven't tried before with your scrapping. And variety is the spice of life so they say!!!! but truly go over and check this site out, it has so many different sketches and ideas for you to use, and always send them into us so they can go in for a chance to win our monthly prize.



Our local Scrapping Angels workshop was held here on Saturday and the ladies did some stamping and stitching layouts, it was another great day, we are holding the same workshop again on the 31st as the numbers of people wanting to attend are growing. I was so not with it this workshop, thanks God Tara and I share the work load as I was in hospital with a migraine till very late on Friday night and wasn't my usual self on the Saturday. Tara pulled it all together, she's such a star, I love her dearly. She had a little help from Mum and Craige, they did what they could anyway. I'm so lucky to have the support around me when things go awry.

I have another really busy week coming up and lots of things to share so stay tuned for more things to come.
