New month - new Chill-ing Challenges for JUNE

What a way to make you feel right at home... cold and overcast outside, and new challenges to do, with a complete kit, if you finish them all, called CHILL !!!

Here is a preview ...

What a pretty kit, though ! Look at all those papers !

Come on, open up your Scrapping program, and get scrapping !

Here is my page for the Colour Challenge. We got to download a free kit for this one ;) It's Anne-Marie's birthday, this month, and she likes all things bright, and the colours of the Rainbow, so that's what her kit is called, to use for this challenge :)

And here is my layout for the Scraplift Challenge. One of the sights I saw in the glitzy Crown Casino, in Melbourne, aah, but all that glitters is not gold ;)

See you later with some more of mine :)

Have plenty of fun !!!

Going, going, go ..... Gone !

Where did the month go ! I suppose not being home for most of it made it seem so fast, because I was enjoying myself, maybe a little too much LOL
While away, I did all my May Challenges for Nuts4Digi, and hope to post them all here, for you to have a little peek at what we get up to.

I had a birthday ... a fabulous birthday ! I got to spend it with my friend Debbie and her hubby and Zack, their little doggie. Debbie and I went with Deb's daughter, to Melbourne City, and we had a very "point conscious" lunch and 7km walk around. Let me tell you we all had a good night's sleep, after that ! We went looking for cupcake shops, and found some, but this one grabbed my attention - diet or no diet ! LOL I wanted to experience that HUGE cupcake on the top shelf. Unfortunately we hadn't ordered one, so we didn't get one LOL.
Oh well, the mini version was all our Weight Watcher diets would allow, so that's what we had. This Layout was created with the new Birthday Kit from the Designers at Nuts4Digi. This is only a very small part of it.

All About Me Challenge - before the Weight Watchers diet ....

The Art Challenge - use the colours of the Colour Wheel

The Blog Challenge - the messiest room in your house. Kinda looks like that now LOL

The Colour Challenge - to use ONE other colour with Black and white, maybe colourise a part of a photo.

The Font Challenge - since 'going to digi', HUNGRY JACKS OPENED THIS WEEK !!!

The Photography Challenge - a portrait. As I had already done one of me for the AAM (see above) I did Steve, instead :)

The Quote Challenge - use a quote with Mum or Mother in it. This is my Mum's Mother's Day gift. Just love this pretty kit of Nutkin Tailz (Lesley) called To Mum With Love. Available at Nuts4Digi, too ;)

The Scraplift Challenge - scraplift of Julia's "I Love You" layout.

The Variety Challenge - a template provided by Flora, and this is my Layout. The pedicure was my birthday gift from Debbie. First time I have had one, and I am pleased to say the polish etc is still going strong :-)

For all the credits for all these layouts, you can find them in my Gallery here.

OK, so having just finished THIS month, we start the whole process again, tomorrow !

Check back soon, and see what we will be challenged with in June :)

Till then,

Bye

Deb.

N4D Challenges - Blog Challenge

This month Di gave us a ripper of a challenge - photograph your messiest room ... mmmmm I am thinking - which one ? Most are due for a total cleanout !
These photos are probably the best and worst of my dining room table ...

The kit I used is called Tranquility, a digi duo creation of Debbie McKenzie (Digi Illusions) and Caroline B. (bbk29)

The kit is available at Nuts4Digi :-)

I'll add some more of my challenge layouts as time permits.

See you next time :)

Deb.

It was a bit flowery today

Yes, it's been a while, but life sort of got busy, running around to hospitals and visiting, then catching up with stuff, from not being here ... but here is something I did do. I went to visit Mum and Dad's today, and Mum had all these flowers all blooming, so I snapped a few of them. You can see lots of them have long grass near the flowers - that's from all the rain, and Mum hasn't been able to get into the garden, to weed.

So, here we are, for your viewing pleasure. Mostly Chrysanthemums, or Mother's Day flowers, I call them :)
