Its hard to believe we are up to week 6 of the Celebrate New Zealand competition over at Scrapbook Outlet. This week its my turn to post the challenge and kiwiana questions.
I must admit that week 6 come around very fast, and I was not at all organised, so I whipped up this lay-out at mid-night, the night before I had to post the challenge!

My page has that 'very quickly thrown together ' look about it!

I have used stamps to decorate my white background, added a little embossing

.... a few sprays of Glimmer mist, pearls, a handmade star, and a wee light house that come all the way from Germany (thank you Hannah).


The theme for this week is New Zealand songs, and the challenge is to use a NZ song title, or lyric from a song either in your title, or in your journalling. I have used Dave Dobyn of course, because he is my favorite NZ singer...I may be showing my age here!!

We have had a very wet afternoon here today, which was wonderful as it gave me an excuse to escape to my craft room and catch up on a little scrapping.

My skates were on ...today after work, and in between Andrews turns I managed to finish off this take on Vicki's Sketch Challenge......

I know.... red and pink! Its a bit of a clash really, but I just thought it would be fun to try a different colour mix for a change!
The ribbon inspiration came from Sharon's Challenge last week. Once again I have gone the flower way, really need to do something different, my pages are getting very predictable!

You still have until mid-night Thursday to get your take on Vicki's Sketch into the SBO Gallery.

I would love to see what YOU come up with :-)

Vicki's Sketch Challenge

I love this weeks Sketch Challenge at SBO and have my photo printed and ready to scrap, when and if I ever find the time!

Andrew has a pressure area on his backside at the moment so is confined to bed, its really is a nuisance because it means we cannot go anywhere and that he needs constant turns, such is life I guess. Fingers crossed it does not hang around for too long, these things can takes ages to disappear.

Here is Vicki's sketch challenge

Vicki has a gorgeous sample page done as well, you can view it, and the details right here at SBO, or you can check it out on Vicki's beautiful blog.
