Well I tried to update my blog last week and just when I had finished the computer logged me out!!! It has been playing up BIG TIME and it turns out I had a few viruses....including one which got into our bank account and transferred several thousand dollars to a bank account in Hobart!!! Now our internet banking is suspended and we are awaiting new passwords etc.
On to better news....I have been scrapping up a storm!!!!
This is a LO I did for my good friend Evana to celebrate the arrival of her fourth child Joel Lachlan...and what a cutie he is. This photo is of him with his big sister Kaitlyn. I have used the Baby Lily range from Urban Lily and the papers are just so beautiful that I decided to extend the flowers over the photo. I have also left room for journaling on the new Heidi Swapp dots journaling spots. I am so loving all the new Heidi stuff...totally addicted....be sure to check out her stuff and other layout's celebrating Joel's arrival at Shop and Crop. This week we have all done LO's in Evana's gorgeous style....or tried to anyway LOL
I have also been scrapping up my projects for my next class at Scrapabout Australia. All the classes for the next calendar will be revealed tonight at their VIP night....I can share them after that!!!
This is a bag and mini book I made for one of Emma's friends who turned 7 last week. I have made this bag before so it was easy to duplicate it. She loved it which always is so rewarding.
I have also completed a small 8 x 8 page for a small boy who is suffering from leukemia and has to be away from home for 2 months. Andrea a friend of his sent out a call over the net for people to help her compile an ABC album to remind him of home and to give him something else to focus on whilst he is in hospital.
Here is my page - I had the letter C and based the LO on cars. if you think you would like to help and have a few minutes to spare...contact me and I will put you in touch with Andrea.
Once again I have loved using the new Heidi products....aren't those arrows so cool????
Because my camera was dropped just before I had to send off my class samples to Scrapabout Australia last time I did my classes....I was unable to upload the pages.
I will post them here and add them to my photo album for those ladies who need to refer to them.
I apologise for the delay. The Making Memories large letters are still in the store and I will post a picture when I get them back.
The first Lo was for my Walnut Ink class. We dyed the ribbon, letters and blossoms and stamped the background with ink using the MM flower stamps. We also swiped the edges of the background and photo mat.
This class was just so much fun...lots of mess and
I spent most of the class on the floor drying everything with the heat gun. I loved it. You ladies are the best...so willing and so much fun. i really appreciate you hanging around all day or just popping in and listening to me ramble....we are always so tired but it is so worth it!!!
The next page is of my dad and uses the gorgeous Wild Asparagus range. it was a Waves class where we made waves from our pattern paper. We also used the Heidi masks (yes Heidi!!!) with ink.
I loved how everyone's page came out...they all look so different.
Ok gotta go..off to watch a school concert.
Enjoy your day :)
Hi Sal,

As always - I love all of your projects - but esp. your dad l/o. I really need to get some of my dad pics onto layouts so you may have just inspired me :). Sorry to hear about your 'puter probs - sounds like a bit of a mess but I hope you've got it sorted out now.

Seriously loving your stuff Sally!!!!! Yep I'm doing a little page on 'home' today for Andrea. How sad for the little boy and his family. Cute little bag, great gift idea for sure.
