Scrap it Saturday # 2
Hey there!
It is turning out to be a busy weekend! All good though…….
Last minute prep for school on Monday, and today we had a Family Fun Day at the school to celebrate the new year. All the kids had a blast. I was on the official face painting duties…..which whilst a little nerve racking, was really good fun. I can turn a gorgeous face into a mean pirate, or a tiger! And all the girls just love butterflies and love hearts too…….good fun!
Anyway in between that, and going out tonight, I managed to make this wee scrap page for you. I tried to work with the whole Australia day theme but it wasn’t happeneing for me, so ended up doing different colours, and just wrote up a journal about the day on the tag on the page which slides out from under the photo.
Oh and we have our special guest stamper again…….my 9 year old daughter Tiarne! - she was so excited about all your lovely comments last week, she defintely wanted to play along again today
So here is the page I ended up with:
For this page I have worked with Basic black, Rose red, Whisper white, and Basic grey for the cardstock colours. I have used the So swirly jumbo roller for the background on the basic grey cardstock. I have also used the Priceless, Wonderful favourites, and Outline alphabet stamp sets, which are all from Stampin’Up. For embellishment, I have used dazzling diamonds glitter, and black gingham ribbon, and a mat pack and black brads.
Okay so here is Tiarne’s page………Just remember I haven’t helped her one bit, and I have to say I like the greeting she chose to put on there……( too sweet!)
Scrap page made by Tiarne……
Don’t you just love the 3 brads she has on the left hand side? It seems that they do pick up what you do! And it is great time together………stamping that is.
So today I finally managed to pick up the 4th book in the Twilight series………I have been stalking the guy at the book store! He sees me coming and just shakes his head……..NO! AHHHH it is has been almost torture waiting for it to come back into stock! They were out of print and no book store Australia wide had them! Aparently I was not the only one hunting it down! So Kristy you won’t need to send me your copy now, but it was so sweet of you to offer!!!
Right better head to bed before Hubby pulls the plug! Oh and if you don’t see me much this week…you know why….that book is over 800 pages long, and apprently the best in the series, so I will be sure to have my nose in it all week………good thing the kids are back at school hey? or they may get neglected! LOL!
Have a good rest of the weekend everyone!










Enjoy the book - it’s worth the wait!

When I first looked at the pages I actually thought you did both just using different colours,then I read it and saw your daughter did it.WOW.I think you may have a bit of competition there!Fantastic job,to both of you.
Wow Tairne is definately following your footsteps. I have an award for you on my blog maybe I should give it to your daughter too. Thank you for the inspiration you provide. Jo
I like Joanne thought you had done both pages - then read Tiarne did one - great job girls - love both!
I love the scrapbook pages you did . I must admit I haven’t got into the whole scrapbooking thing. I find it hard to do still. I also tagged you for a fun photo challenge if you have time to play along. check out my blog for more details.

Great work, both of you! Cant wait to see more of your scrapbooking!
Hi! Wow your pages are wonderful…actually I love all of your work. I was blurfing and found your blog from a link from another blog, from another blog…LOL…I can’t even remember where I started! I love your sketches, I would like to try one sometime, do you require S.U. only?
Thanks for the inspiration!
Hi Keesh, Really love the scrap pages and Tiarne you are a star! When can I come over for lessons? Keesh you’ll have to get together with Elysia, she’s read all the books three times now and about to start the new one called ‘The Host’. I haven’t even read one yet. Have a good week, lots of inky hugs from Charmaine
