April Cybercrops

OK, well there are a couple of cybercrops coming up in the next week or so. The first is at Chookscraps starting on the 16th of April. Pre chat and hints can be found here.

The theme has something to so with school but there is much speculation about still. Can't wait to see what it is!

The second is happening over at Bons Scraps from 20th of April and you can find the timetable and pre chat here.

I always love the photo challenge here and hope I will have time to upload a photo each day despite being in the last minute stages of getting ready to go to Europe for 4 weeks!!

Cybercrop and Chookscraps

Well it's cybercrop time at Chookscraps til midnight tonight. Sorry I can't link but my blogger won't let me paste, grr. Here are the 2 challenges I did that I like the results of!

Ch 4: A shimmery card with a monogram and scallops.

Ch 1: using Alice in Wonderland themes as inspiration. Heart for Queen of Hearts, White background for White Rabbit, word 'smiling' for cheshire cat and 2 of something (butterflies, stars) for Tweedledum and Tweedledee.

The heart on this one was chipboard that I inked with dark blue then painted with silver then put sticker lace over.

Another Game On LO from Bon's. My dear best friend at another friend's wedding. Using the colour accent function on my camera to just get the blue lights. Shame the pic was taken at night with the flash in the way but I can never get that good photos anyway so this is probably as good as it gets! Haha! Her future is looking very bright right now and I am very happy for her!

I {heart}...

Felicity at Bon's challenged us to blog at least 3 things we love. I missed the deadline but thought it was a great post idea so I am doing it late anyway. Plus tomorrow is my bf's and I 3 year anniversary so the timing was right and the first thing I love is my bf, Phillip:

Happy Anniversary!!!

Other things I love are my friends (not all here but you all know I love you!):

And my best friend's little girl, Elissa. Too cute!

Blog to LO

From my 9 things i chose the following as inspiration to create a LO:

The boots (red & black), Elissa's dress (polka dots) and various hints of green throughout most of the photos.

Thanks Flis for a great challenge and helping me get my mojo back!

9 Things...

As Flis from Bons Scraps suggested here I am posting my 9 favourite things from 2009.

THE boots!

One of my fave Chookscraps Idol LOs. Another fave Idol LO, the most journalling I've ever done! The day I went crazy and made about 70 cupcakes for Dee and Jodi's birthday. Crazy entree Phill and I had on our trip up north involving prunes, cheese, proscuito and I think there was something else too. I really like this photo from our friends' wedding (Meagan & Chris) of their wedding cake. The first bit of gardening I've ever really done: my 'cactus patch'. My best friend's little girl Elissa's 1st birthday. What a pretty birthday dress!

The dessert I made for my birthday - choc cups filled with creamy goodness topped with a cherry!

Now that part is done I can start working on the first bonus challenge at Game On 2!
