Nook Scraflift challenge, Nate with stash

Hi everyone, hope you are all well, a beautiful day here today, gosh I hope it stays like this, just want to get some washing done, whinge and whine, I sound terrible......I must be getting old.

The above layout is by TANYA TAHIR, she is a fantastic scrapper and is the reason I joined The Nook's monthly kit subscription, and attended the Nook Uni, so thank you Tanya, I am so glad you encouraged me.

We had a challenge at the Uni to Scraplift a layout, so below you will see my layout, I just loved how Tanya used her mist, but of course I couldn't quite replicate it but was happy with the layout none the less. I hope you like it.

I feel very honoured to have made the top 15 at the Uni, their are 4 Aussies, Nicole Pomeroy, Anthea Peterson, Karen Brierly and myself. So this week is going to be very full on. Wish me luck and I look forward to getting my inspiration from you all.

Just have to tell you that Nate had on his superman suit (just a shirt) but don't tell him it's not the entire outfit and Jan put his flashing sword up on top of the cupboard as he was getting a little rough with it, he ran into his room, got naked and brought me out his spiderman outfit and said, help me mum, I put it on him and low and behold he starts climbing up the side of the cupboard and he said "Spiderman will get it" wow the kids say the cutest, well thought of things when they want to hey. Oh wow, Aunty Jan and I just cracked up, where do they know these things from, is there a gun,sword, superhero gene built into little boys.......

Love to you all. Melxx

Bisous, Nook University, soccer

Hi everyone, I cannot believe the month is almost over, what happenned to it. This month I was honoured to be Guest Designer at Bisous Scrapbooking in Canada. I want to take this opportunity to thank Suzanne for the honour and sending me all the gorgeous products to me. I had a blast, if you would like to check out the site please click HERE.The above layout is made using all her wonderful products.

Well I made it to the final week of Nook Uni, this was my layout for the Geography class and it is a picture of my nana's (dec'd) old house in Hervey Bay. She was a sewer so I just had to use a technique I learn't from friend Louise Nelson and covered the cardstock with pattern sheets. Tanya Tahir was the teacher of this class and although it brought up some emotional memories for me, I am so thankful I scrapped this photo. I was honoured to come tied 2nd with Anthea Peterson (can you believe it- I was super stoked), Nic Pomeroy won with her amazing layout design. As of next week the top 15 will start from scratch and be challenged in a new series of classes to decide the valedictorian.  I will let you know if I make the top 15.

Here is Nate with his under soccer photo for 2010, he was so pround to receive this and his trophy and he wanted to put it up here so Mikayla, Cooper, Connor and Jazi could see it.

We are off to another Currimundi camp from tomorrow morning 27th to Wednseday 29th, so I will be blogging to you tonight and catch up with you soon. Love to you all. Melxx

Scrap the Boys, Scrapbook Uni

Morning all, hope you are well and happy, normally I dislike Mondays but today we go to Amanda T's house for a scrap day, going to leave after this post, can take over an hour depending on traffic but Nate has a great day and I get to scrap with another addictee.

The above layout is for Scrap the Boys using the Crate Paper - Restoration line, he is such a cutie here playing nudie with his socks on, but this photo is a little older now (about 6 months) and he has to wear pants now. So I am glad I documented him when he enjoyed being a nudey. Gotta have something for his 21st birthday collage.

This is another layout using the Restoration papers, this is for Nook Uni and you had to paper piece a living thing, I chose to do an owl and had to add one of Sam's gorgeous Purple Pumpkin buttons. I am up to date with all my assignments but tomorrow another new week starts and I am so enjoying the challenges they set.

Some of my dear blogging friends are not well at the moment and to each of you I hope you are all feeling heaps better, look forward to catching up with you this week. Love Melxx
