Another Webster's Pages Layout completed.
Cody, on floral paper, who would have thought that could work! Not me, but I challenged myself to give it a go anyway.


I used a blue and a green stamp pad to 'stipple' in a bit of sky, and texture.


As per usual I cut out tiny pieces of paper, this time the leaf with the butterfly and the house and globe, I really need to get over my fixation of cutting out, although these Webster's Page's paper have such delightful images that it truly is very hard to resist that temptation!

Webster Pages collection's can be purchased from The Scrapbooking Outlet NZ

On Friday night our good friends come to tea, it was lovely to be in their company, we really must make an effort to catch up more often!
Today Cody and Hannah went to Dunedin and brought Aimee  home for the holidays. University holidays are three months long! Aimee will not be idle though as she begins work on a dairy Farm tomorrow. This year she decided to have a change from restaurant work. It will be interesting to see how she likes life with the cows!

Bright!

One more week before my mum is back home, have to say I'm looking forward to having her back on deck. I am feeling rather tired tiring to juggle Andrew, work and the house work into my days. Sounds like no big deal I know, but I have to get up extra early to allow time to get Andrew feed, showered, dressed, his physio and tilt table done and have him in his wheelchair so I can leave for work at 10 .15...and make the beds, do the dishes, hang out the washing, wash the floor, sweep the duck 'poo' away from the front door etc etc.... Andrew takes about three hours to get organised so my house work is getting done at the speed of light almost!
All weekend was pretty much catch up on the washing, ironing, baking and cleaning in the 'corners' ready for another busy week. FUN!!

Onto brighter things...
Here is a page I put together a few weeks ago, using the August monthly Kit from ScrapbookOutlet

I love the fun colours, and really enjoyed
using purple along side orange!
I mounted most of the stickers in the kit onto cardboard so they popped off my page!

At last I have a gap!
My Up2scrap work has been sent away.
No school for me tomorrow ( I don't do Fridays, except for a couple of hours helping out our budding mechanics at Mechanic Club tomorrow afternoon).
My mum is still in Auckland so I do have to do all of the house work myself, but the extra exercise is good for me! And really I'm quite happy to do it, I don't really mind house work too much.
Thought I pop one of my latest pages on my blog tonight, just to get myself back into blogging mode.
This is one of the pages I put together using the August Kit from Scrapbooking Outlet.


I love the bright colours, and feel of summer that this kit sure has plenty of!

New Day Kit from ScrapbookOutlet

This morning it was pretty much business as usual here in Duntroon. I was back to work, at school. Camden was back to school also. Cody and Hannah were the only ones who got to sleep in today.
Its nice to have Hannah back in the country.

Here are the scrapbook pages I completed using the New Day Kit from Scrapbook Outlet

This plain bazzil card has a wonderful surface for stamping on, so of course I got my stamps out and took advantage of it!



For my next LO I took apart the Prima spray from the kit and layered some of the paper flowers between the chipboard flowers.





I'm now a huge fan of paper tape, which I had not used before. My roll of tape is still going strong so it really is great value. Check out the different brands, patterns and colours that are available here


Bedtime Story was the last page I created from the New Day kit.
I looked at my small pile of left over paper scraps and could not bring myself to throw them away, so instead I got busy with my cuttlebug and added texture to these tiny squares. I hunted out this photo, passed onto me from my sister. The back ground was busy so I had to work a little photoshop magic to ensure some of the focus was on the bed quilt, I needed this photo to work with my patch work scraps!
In between my scrap patch's and the photo I have added a felt layer, just to soften things up a little.


I enjoyed scrapping with the New Day Kit. I still have lots of font stickers, some chipboard shapes, some tags and plenty of left over paper tape. That's after creating seven pages using only a few bits and bobs from my own supplies, so the kits from Scrapbook Outlet really are good value. Check out the bright kit available to order now, if you have not done so already
I had a lovely time at Senz, and the visit to Christchurch restored my sanity, that really was feeling like it was on its way out! More on that coming up soon.

Here is my finished latest painting

Here is my finished latest painting
This one is a hit with all the males who have seen it. I must say that I did not really enjoy painting a truck and it will be a one off for sure! Uncle David is now the owner of this one. Next project on thepainting scene is going to be a fisherman- for my Uncle Graeme who is wanting me to paint him something. Really need to get onto this one!

Finished at last- I think

At last I think I have pretty much finished this painting for my uncle. Do hope he likes it.
