Challenges - the Font, Sketch and Quote ...

Done ! :o)

 The Font is Impact Label (Dymo label users will recognise this one) using Di's new Kit, Touch of Terracotta.

You will recognise this one from the previous post - this one was done for the Sketch Challenge.

..and this one for the Quote challenge ... all at Nuts4Digi :o) Just one to do now ...

I think I'm gonna like this one, too ;o) It's the All About Me challenge, and this month is "Foods you Like". Well I'm going to forget my Weight Watcher's diet for a couple of hours while I do this next Challenge :o)  Stay tuned, to find out what it is ...

Till next time,

Happy Scrapping,

Deb.

A New Kit from Di - Touch of Terracotta

Di has a new kit out called a Touch of Terracotta which is a warm, earthy kit to scrap on these chilly days available at $3.75 (25% discount) until Monday the 14th of June.





Here are my layouts showing what can be scrapped with this kit :)

Never thought of doing a wedding layout with these colours, did you ?

Another couple of challenges to do for the month, and I'm finished - all ready to start over again. :-)

See you next time.
Deb. :-)

Here is the link to the Blog Challenge at Nus4Digi, if you'd like to join in, and get a prize for participating, of course :)

Have a wonderful weekend, and maybe we will even see you at the Chat tomorrow at 4pm AEST

And so many photos yet to be shown and scrapped of these amazing Sculptures, near Frankston Pier, in Melbourne. The two other people, on the left and right of Debbie just happen to get in the picture, too. There were quite a few "bodies" to try and dodge when we grabbed our shots :) Most of them trying to get photos without US in them too, no doubt LOL  This page was created for Nuts4Digi's Sketch Challenge.

Hope to be back again later today, with some more of our trip way.

Bye for now, and have a great weekend !

Deb :)

Shades of Love

Just in time for Valentine's Day, Di @ Legacy4Life has just released her new Kit Shades of Love. My CT layouts from this kit are below.

 

 

This is also my contribution to the Sketch Challenge at Nuts4Digi. The Restoration of the old Glengallan Homestead near where we live.

The Chat is on again at Nuts4Digi tonight, and it's Michaela's 7th birthday tomorrow, so we are all off to Brisbane to surprise her !

See you all later,
Deb.

What an 'interesting' day

Today started off in the usual way on Thursday. Up and ready to get out the door and in the door at Aldi at 8.30am, if there is something you really want :) I wanted to get a 4GB SD card, that will hold lots of photos and / or video, because they were only $13. That achieved, and a browse over the other goodies on special purchase this week, and we got the carrots, milk and bread we went for, and off we went back home. One of the special buys was a massager for the car or office chair, and I decided it was cheaper than a chiropractor's visit, so got one of them, too. The reason for this will become known shortly, after the weekend.

Then I decided I'd do the Animal Kingdom challenge over at DSO. The only requirement was to use the little dove on the page, somewhere. I knew I had a great photo of Candy and Peggy "chatting up" a budgie that my sister Shirl had in a cage, so all I had to do was find that, and I was set to go. The layout I did is above.


That went smoothly, so I also did the Scraplift challenge that Di @ Legacy4Life hosts. I like the way it turned out, using Di's kit, due for release very soon ;)
It's called Shades of Love.

The day was progressing well, until it was time for tea. Well 'someone' forgot the potatoes this morning, in their haste to get the "essentials" of life. We decided the quickest way out of it was to go to the chicken shop nearby (Brodies) and get a Chicken Dinner, and that will be tonight and tomorrow's tea, because we have the chat tomorrow night, at Nuts4Digi, and that will be something quick to prepare and clean up afterwards, and then Chat.

OK, problem solved .... until Steve got a plate out of the cupboard, to put the chicken bones in, and saw a cockroach running around .... Out came the spray, the fly swat, and a lot of crashing and banging ... I was on the other side of this and looking at my tea ... yes, I picked a few carrots and ate them, and coersed him to come and eat, while it is hot, and look for his 'pet' later.  When I go back out in the kitchen, EVERY cup, plate, desert bowl, glass and soup cups, had been taken out of the cupboards, and WE were going to wash and dry them, and put them back. Mmmmm ... that is NOT what I had in mind after tea LOL  I am just glad it was tonight, and not tomorrow night, or it would have been 6.30pm (Qld time) before I got to the chat !

Also I did the Colour Challenge demo layout for March, for Nuts4Digi . Now did you think you were getting a preview of that too ? LOL  I'll give you a clue - it's a single colour again :-)

Off to find a layout for the March Scraplift challenge now ...

So, have fun scrapping and stay happy !

Oh, I am still studying those maps ....   ;) ;)

Deb.

And there are more Challenges

The Art Challenge can be found here and using this artwork, we are inspired to create our own layout. I always find the Art Challenge to be just that, but I think I have something in mind this time :)


The Photography Challenge is an interesting one. The forum reference is here. The subject for our photo this month is  
Wear Your Heart on Your Sleeve. Mousey is always a bit tricky with her challenges too, but we interpret that statement how we want, too.


The Quote Challenge, also from Mousey is an interesting one again, this Month.  Mousey also has a download of this wordart all ready to use, on her Blog, too, to make it even easier.

The love bug doesn't hurt. It just gives you the sniffles sometimes.

Found here in the Nuts4Digi forum.

Di at Legacy4Life has also been very busy and released another new kit, called The Love Journal and I have created a few layouts with it, too.

 

  

  

  

So as you can see it has some beautiful papers and elements in it. You can find it over at DSO. At the moment for a few days you can get it for just $3, till the 4th February (USA time, I think)

Mum was having a Stress Test done today, and I am pleased to say it has gone well, although they were pretty heavy handed with the "poking" of the ultrasound scanner into her ribs. Let's hope the results are good now.

If you are looking for something to inspire you, or use up some of that spare time, just drop by Nuts4Digi and there is plenty to do there in the Challenge Forum, or just plain chat, in the February Daily Chatter section of the forum. Speaking of Chatting, there is another one being held in the N4D Chat Room, on the 12th February. Stay tuned, because closer to the day, we will have more details ...

I think after all the week's events, so far, I am ready for the shower and bed.

So till later,

Happy scrappin'

Deb.
