Cybercrop Layouts........................

The requirements for my recipe challenge over at the Scrap Pile cybercrop this weekend were: non-human photo, 2 x circles, flowers and bling and my interpretation of the recipe:

I have also managed to complete Karen's sketch challenge:

Hoping to get Mel's card challenge done too, but I am still to pack for camp and need an early night as sleep maybe minimal the next couple of nights!!

Layout Share..............................

My first layout as GDT at Scrapping Outback is the 4 product challenge:

and I have finished my layouts from Creative Edge. Unusual for me as I usually go along to workshops and learn the techniques but quite often don't complete the layouts!! I must have really liked these ones. "Cousin" is the layout from Steph Devlin workshop and focused on hybrid scrapping, creating flowers and altering flowers:

"Beauty" was the layout from Janine Kocswara's workshop and focused on layering and altering flowers:
Okay, that's all from me right now. Off to have dinner and scrap

Bizaare.............

well at least that's how it looked when I peaked out the window at 5.30am this morning. An engulfing orange glow thanks to a dust storm. DP has taken some shots so I'll update with photos later.

Newsflash..............................

I am completely thrilled to announce that I am joining the Scrap Pile design team. I checked my email at 1.50am on Monday morning on my return home from Creative Edge (must be completely mad) and Gill had already made her decision and the DT position offer was there ~ WOOHOO. This is the second position I have gained purely on application and it feels good!!!

Need to update my sidebar!!

Creative Edge................................

was absolutely fabulous!!! And what a crazy weekend that is now very much catching up with me!! I left here at 1pm on Saturday afternoon, flew to Adelaide, taxied to Golden Grove, stayed overnight. 8.15 am Sunday morning I was off to the workshops ~ 3 in one day I was going to them all if I was going so far!! 4.45pm ordered taxi arrives (early ~ that never happens in Sydney) back to airport, check in ~ flight delayed more than an hour, dinner at Billie Chu's (totally recommended), board flight at 7.10pm, delayed in flight and on tarmac after landing. Finally disembark at 10.10pm, collect baggage, meet Happy Cabby and head for home. Arrive home 1.30am. Work at 8.ooam Monday morning!! Am I just a wee bit CRAZY????

First up a Prima canvas mini album with Kate Mason ~ what a gorgeous person!! The album was fabulous, the workshop was frantic, but I learnt so much and although it's not yet finished I am thrilled. It is one workshop project that I will definitely finish and treasure!! It will probably have to wait until the holidays as I'm not certain what I would like to dedicate the album to at this stage.

Second was Steph Devlin and a hybrid layout full of intense colour. I learnt lots of new techniques that I can't wait to put into practice.

Third was Janine Koscwara's very pretty Prima layout. Absolutely loved this. Unfortunately I had to leave early to ensure I didn't miss my flight (which ended up being delayed over an hour grrrrrrrrr) and didn't finish this layout, but it's on my agenda for this weekend. Thankfully Janine demonstrated the vital techniques before I left.

All in all a fabulous day. Wonderful organisation, great food and sensational scrapping. Thanks also to the girls who allowed me to share their table and the day ~ I very much appreciate it!!

I will upload the projects when they are all finished.

Cheers.....................Leanne

Layout Share..............................

Scrapping has been minimal recently due to battling the flu ~ I actually needed 3 days off work - it's been a long time since that last happened!! But I have managed a couple. The first started as my intrepretation of Trudi's August sketch at Scrapping Outback but due to my illness I didn't get it completed in time, however I am pleased with the final result:


The second layout is my interpretation of the sketch challenge at the Celebrate CC at Scrapping Outback:
A big weekend ahead ~ I'm off to the Creative Edge Event in Adelaide and I'm really excited. Will post photos of projects next week!!

September Challenge............................

at Scrap the Boys is all about birthdays:

Scrap a mulitphoto layout of your boy’s birthday.

Include on the page a list of everyone who attended and description of the party (theme, cake, games etc.). These are the memories we tend to forget so it is time to document them before it is too late.
and my interpretation:
