WWI & Savvy challenges

this is my WW1 entry for July - criteria: white + polka dots + tape.  I've been a bit subtle with the polka dots (I've stamped on one of my embossing folders blue backgrnd & then some spotting with punchinella) but they're definitely there along with plenty of yummy washi tape!! "adventure lies beyond"


 I've had this photo of my amazing DH for a while & I feel this LO does it justice.  Its for Jens colour challenge at Savvy.  Its not a colour palette I'd normally go with, but I'm really liking how its turned out! Thx Jen!!!  (the LO photo is not very clear I'm afraid)  "my inspiration"

Hope you enjoy :)

updating...

well, I seem to be forever apologising for not updating this blog.....& once again, I apologise for not having been on here for the last 6 weeks!! Sometimes LIFE just takes over & seeing as I'm not a 'wordy' then sitting here, with a blank canvas, having to think of something slightly interesting to say.....well, lets just say, its VERY difficult.  Thats why I do what I do.....create pictures on paper! Pictures definitely say 1000 of my words :)
Please enjoy the following few creations of my recent weeks.

I was totally delighted to be asked to be guest designer for Polly! Scraps for June.  The following 3 creations were with Kaylas incredible kit.  If you've never visited there, a visit is a MUST!! 



 this was a LO for my beautiful sis & niece XX
 my June creation for 123 chllge......I really luv the colours in this LO.
 my July project for 123 chllge.  Why not pop over there & give this challenge a try, soooooo super easy! GO ON, JUST DO IT!!  word: MY  colour: PURPLE  technique: CHEVRON! (chevron is everywhere at the moment, I just luv it!!)
this was my June KIU (kraft it up) challenge project.  DS loves Bear Grylls.....thinks he's pretty amazing, so a LO in honour of that.  

 this LO was for a challenge over at Savvy, colours: yellow, teal, green, pink & some black :D  yUm!
 now this LO........I have to say I ADORE!!!! its not just the paper & the quote (thx Charm at Scrapbooking from Scratch forum) but its my beautiful friend & her girls in the photo too! X


layout out for publishing :)


 My KIU July challenge project.  All about something I want to do/ or a wish.  This was a fun LO to do.....its really all about this 'journey' I'm on, with trying to get my health & fitness on track.  I'm doing the 12wbt Michelle Bridges program.  It is hard work, but then again, everything worthwhile is hardwork BUT sooooo worth doing!   I'm enjoying getting fitter & loosing a little bit of weight.  I'm feeling so much better & even though I have a long way to go, its becoming a part of who I am.....& I love that!  To quote the infamous Pantene advert.....'It won't hippen overnight, but it woll hippen'.  (Kiwi accent included! :D)
anyway............

in amongst all this creating, I've been on school holidays, turned 40, getting fitter & had a couple of LOs published (with a few more to come too!).  yeah, you'll probably notice turning 40 was not a big deal for me.........just another number really.  I certainly don't feel it!! it was more of a wake up call that I don't want to be an overweight, unfit, unhealthy middle age woman.....so thats what I'm changing!!!  BRING IT ON!!!!

I really appreciate you looking & commenting.
Thanks for your kind words.

catch you round cyberspace somewhere!!!
