Long weekend of Scrapping

2011-06-13T16:02:00.004+10:00

Well I did it, completed 4 layouts this weekend!!!! So here is what I manage to create

This layout of the kids was for White with 1. The challenge was to use Red and use circles or Polka dots. I love these photos of the kids so it was good to scrap them.

Close up of the layout below for Scrap the Boys
This layout was for the Scrap the Boys June challenge. Needed to use the following colours Red, Yellow, Aqua & White. And this one was for Scrap the Girls. Had to use White, Black, Light Pink & Dark Pink.
And this challenge was for Kraft It Up. This is the first time I have entered a challenge on this site. These photos were taken at our family day in Feb '11.
Close up of the KIU challenge
And this was last months Scrap the Boys challenge. I did it before the end of the month but didnt get a chance to take a picture of it, so here it is anyway.

Well I have had fun scrapping this weekend, along with going to a 2nd birthday party and a baby shower, have had a couple of late nights though. Oh well!!!

See you all again soon

Oh my goodness, it has been far too long since I have blogged, almost didn't remember my log on & password.

All is going really well. Work is still going well, have been there for a year as of next Wednesday (where does time go??). Kids are doing really well at kindy and Mick is studying hard for his ATPL's. He has done 5 exams and has 2 to go.

I actually sat down tonight and scrapped, I know, unbelievable. I really wanted to complete the challenge at Scrap The Boys, so I got all my gear out and did it. Will upload a pic tomorrow when I have daylight.

Well until next time,

Nene

Well it has been a while

2010-07-18T10:51:00.003+10:00

Well hi everyone, yes I am still in the land of the living. Work is going really well and I am enjoying it very much. It is soooo good to get the brain working again. The kids have settled into daycare quite well. It took Lochie a little while but since moving up to the next room he is really enjoying it.

Havent been up to much else, havent had much time to do much else. I did go to the movies with the girls a couple of weeks ago, that was nice.

Kia is growing way too quick (as you can see from the photos). She is now 4mths old and getting very big. She loves chasing the ball around and is doing quite well been at home by herself.

Anyway better go and have a shower,

Speak again soon

New Fur baby pics

2010-05-23T10:32:00.003+10:00

Hi All

Well here are some recent photos of the fur baby with her ears up :) I took these 2 photos this morning.

I love this photo of Lochie and his fur friend :) I can see the 2 of them getting into plenty of trouble. This photo was taken just over a week ago. Kia is growing so quickly.

Well as you may know I got a job. I start this Tuesday and am excited but also very nervous. It is almost 4 years to the day that I finished work. Mick is having this week off to look after the kids and play Mr Mum as the kids cant start at daycare till the following week. Will keep you updated as to how the job is going.

Until next time

Nene :)

More Scrapping

2010-03-11T09:01:00.003+10:00

See what happens when you dont update your blog at least once a week??? I bore you all with all the scrapping that I have been doing:)

This LO was for Scrapping Outback for the March Scrapjack challenge. We brought this T & hat for Lochie so I could take pics and use Micks ticket from the concert to scrap them. I love the end result of this.
This one was for Scrapability Sketches challenge called Scrap Soup # 2. Bek gives us an ingredient each day then we do a LO. Ingredients for this soup were kraft cardstock, bling, transparency, flower/round embellishment & rub ons.

This one was for Scrappin Chicks White with red

Scrapping Outbacks 4 product challenge was a Christmas theme pack so I though this was the perfect photo to scrap

I love this LO too. The photos of Mick and the kids are beautiful. This was for Scrapability Sketched Design Team tryouts. We had to scrap our favourite things and do it in "grunge". This is my first effort at grunge and I think I did ok.

This is for Deb's challenge over at Scrapping Outback. Check it out here at SO . Deb set a criteria for us.

Another challenge at SO. This is for the White with pink challenge. Love these pics of Angela and I

Another SS DT tryout LO. This one Bek did a sketch for us to follow

And another scrapping first for me, hesritage/vintage. Again another DT tryout challenge. I was a little unsure about doing this style but have been told I should do more. I emailed Aunty Teresa for some old photos of the Grandparents and when i saw this one I loved it. This is Grandma at her 21st.

Well I am soooooooooooooooooo sorry to bore you all with so many LO's. Will try to update my blog more often so there arent as many in 1 post.

Lochie is still getting around on his guts but he has started sitting up by himself. So I am thinking that crawling properly isnt too far away. I found him in the bathroom last week sitting there looking at the bath. Was too early for a bath :)

Both kids have been unwell. Lochie had an ear infection. He was pushing 39.9 temps and was just miserable, especially of a night :( He then got a rash from the antibiotics. Angela complained of a sore tummy on Monday. Thought she just needed to visit the toilet until 3pm when my couch become covered in vomit.......mmmmmm nice.......NOT!!!!! She was much better Tuesday (thank god).

Anyway, better be off and do something. I am off to Noosa with mum on Sunday for a Thelma & Louise trip. Mum is shouting me to get my hair done for my birthday. My first "ME" day since before Lochie was born.

Bye

Nene :)

More Scrapping

2010-02-22T14:04:00.002+10:00

Hi All

Well I have been scrapping up a storm lately. I thank my stop smoking for this. Yep Mick and I have not had a smoke for 3 weeks tomorrow. Its been hard but not as bad as I thought. So by scrapping its been keeping my mind of smoking.

Well my little man has cut another tooth, 3 down, lots to go. I am pretty sure that tooth # 4 is also nearlly here. He has also started to combat crawl. He has a new nickname "slug guts". Seriously thinking about putting a cleaning cloth on his tummy and he can clean the floors whilst he is moving around :)

Anyway here are some LO's that I have done recently.

This one is for Scrabability Sketches. It was for DT Tryout sketch # 1.

This was also for Scrapability Sketches. This is for Feb Challenge called Scrapability Soup. There was certain things you had to do and they were use green, use paint, stitching, doodling & 2 photos, 1 had to be distressed.

This was for sketch # 2 for DT tryouts.

Feb sketchc challenge over at Scrapability Sketches

Another DT Tryouts LO. I love these photos of Mick & Lochie, especially the big photo, its just so loving.

This one is for Scrapping Outback Using the Feb "Challenge Yourself" kit.

And the Rusty Pickle challenge over at Scrapping Outback

Well I think thats most of the ones that I have done recently. We got set another DT challenge this morning to do a vintage/heritage LO. OMG!!!!!!! THis will certainly be a challenge as I have never done this style before. Have been on to Aunty Teresa today to email me a pick of the grandparents wedding.

Anyway enough rambling.

Love

Camping and Scrapping

2010-02-08T08:55:00.002+10:00

Well we took the camper away for the first time on the weekend. We headed down to Tullebudgera Creek camping ground. It is a great park. They have pools there and one of them even has a waterslide. Mum, Bec, B & Mia, Nat, Joei & Rahni came to visit on Saturday and check out our setup. Mick and B had a ball on the waterslide, I think they had more fun than the kids. Anyway, here are a couple of pics of the camper setup. These were taken Sunday morning before it was pulled down and after a night of rain, yep rained ALL night and we had leaks. Lesson learnt. Next time we are getting a tarp to put over the top of the camper :)

Some Scrapping. This LO of Lochie was done for a challenge over at Scrapping Outback. The challenge was to use white cardstock with only the colour aqua. You could use as little or as much aqua as you want.

This was for the Feb sketch over at Scrapping Outback.

And this was the 4 producct challenge at Scrapping Outback. I love this photo of Angela and her BIG smile:)

Anyway, thanks for popping in. Make sure you leave a comment so that I know you have popped in.

Hi it has been a while since I have done a post. I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a good new year.

Well we went on our road trip, just over 5000kms all up and I think that we are all still getting over it. We had a great christmas in Mildura with all my family. It was awesome to catch up with everyone and meet the children of my cousins etc etc. I have included a family photo that I managed to get everyone all rounded up to get. There are only 3 missing from the photo, my 2 nephews and my cousins little man. Grandma & Grandpa were thrilled that we all made the effort to travel from near & far. The next family catch up is in 5 years in QLD.......WOO HOO no serious driving.

Whilst we were in Sydney we brought ourselves a camping trailer. We got a tow ball fitted whilst we were at dads and towed the trailer home. We have booked our first weekend away and are very excited.

Well got home and there was a few challenges to be done. This one is for Rachelle's 2010 challenge. Something that happened in 2009 that will change things in 2010. I have been to scrap this photo of Lochie since he was born and thought this was the perfect photo for his LO.

This LO was to create a scene

This photo of Angela was Christmas morning. She was very happy with her new jewels that Santa brought her

And the little man enjoying his bottle

And here is the WHOLE family, arent we a wild looking bunch????? :) I am so glad that I got this photo especially for the grandparents.

Anyway better be off and check what the kids are doing. Angela and Chris I think are wrestling and Lochie should be sleeping.

Back soon with more updates. Thanks for dropping by

Love

Nene :)

Big Girl turns 3

2009-12-15T07:35:00.002+10:00

Here are some pics from Angela's birthday party.

We ended up having an ice cream cake because the banana cake that I cooked and was going to turn into a monkeys face didnt turn out like I had hoped :( I am pretty sure from these photo's that Angela enjoyed it :)

Ice cream cake all over her face

Waiting for mummy to cake the cake

This was on her actual birthday. Bec, B & Mia came up for dinner and cake.

Opening her talking kitchen. The look on her face was priceless :)

Well I have done a little bit of scrapping the last week or so but things have been quiet over at Scrapping Outback due to some very bad news. Rachelle the owners husband was involved in a serious car accident last week and is in a coma and on life support. I think all the girls on the forum are in shock. Sending Rach and her family lots of hugs and praying that Lyndon will make a full recovery.

We head off next Tuesday for our Christmas trip to Melbourne and then stopping in Sydney on the way home. We are looking forward to getting away and catching up with all our family and friends.

So if I dont get back on here before we go away, I would like to wish everyone a very safe and happy Christmas and a happy New Year.

Love

Nene :)

Hi

Here are some pics of the kids on Friday night. Angela was very cute when Lochie rolled over and she went and laid next to him :) Gotta love sibling love, lets just hope it stays like that :)

Well I cant believe that my little girl turns 3 on Wednesday. Can someone please tell me where the last 3 years have gone?????

Well I shall be back next weekend to post some pics from her "cheeky monkey" party.

Until then

Nene :)

Hi

Here are some pics from our weekend away camping. We had an awesome time and cant wait to do it again real soon. Here is our little man having his first swim.

Angela fishing with a noodle. Gotta love the imagination of kids :)

Lochie wearing daddy's hat, love that beautiful smile :)

What a gorgeous BEACH BUM

I hope this post finds you all well. A BIG congrats to Bec and her family, they found out last week that they are having a little boy........YAY :) A little play dude for Lochie.

Love

Nene :)

2009-11-18T09:53:00.002+10:00

Hi all

Well we have been on our scrapping weekend away and had an awesome time. I managed to get a few challenges done, will upload pics later :) Lochie was an absolute treasure, thank god!!!! That was my biggest issue about taking him was that he would be unsettled and I wouldnt get anything done. We are off again this weekend, going camping which should be alot of fun.

Love

Nene :)

2009-11-11T15:11:00.002+10:00

Hi

Here are some LO's that I did last week. The card was for a card challenge. The card had to be "funky"

This one was another challenge for Ladies Place your Bids on Scrapping Outback. I love this photo of the kids :) So loving :)

And this one is for the November Rusty Pickle challenge. We had to use black & orange and 3 different Rusty Pickle papers. Thought this photo of Lochie playing the drums was cool so thats why the title is "Play that funky music white boy"

Well this weekend Lochie and I are off to a scrapping retreat. There is about 20 of us going and it should be an absolute ball. Hopefully Lochie will be a good boy so that I can get some scrapping done. Mick and Angela will be spending some quality time together at home:) They will probably catch up with B & Mia at some stage as Bec is also on the retreat.

For Micks birthday we have been asked to go camping with B, Bec & Mia. We are really looking forward to it, hopefully the weather will be good so the kids can go swimming.

Anyway, check back in after the weekend away.

Love

Nene :)

More LO's and weekend goss

2009-11-02T15:28:00.002+10:00

Hi......I hope everyone had a great weekend. Our weekend was good. Saturday was the usual washing and then we went over to visit Irene & Jeff. Stayed for dinner and had a lovely visit. Yesterday we went to Carindale and Mick shouted himself a massage, came home and he cooked a YUMMY roast pork for tea.

Here are some challenges that I did last week. The card I gave to Irene as she had a knee op last week. It was made for bonus SO $$$'s.

This LO was for SO $$$'s and I have made the card to a similar style as the LO.

And this frame was for Leanne's altered frame on SO. I have decided I am going to give this to Grandma & Grandpa for Christmas. Because the whole family (all 48 of us) are going to Mildura for Christmas I thought it would be awesome to set the tripod up and get a photo of all of us that the grandparents can put in the frame as a memory keeper.

More challenges have been set for this month. Not stressing too much if I dont get them done at the moment cause next weekend I am off on a retreat with the girls. Looking forward to it. Lochie will be in his element, a room full of 18 women, 1 little girl and him :)

Take care,

Love

Nene :)

2009-10-29T09:38:00.003+10:00

Hi all.....here are some more layouts that I have done this week.

This one of Lochie was for Scrapping Outback for Leannes Oct challenge

This one was for Tams challenge on Scrappin Chicks. We had to use 3 different glitter colours. Needless to say glitter has ended up everywhere.

Scary Spider was another challenge for Ladies Place your Bids on Scrapping Outback. We had to include a spider on a LO. I have made my little redbacks.

And this was a double sketch LO challenge for Ladies place your bids. Had to include a chipboard title and hand cutting.

Thanks for looking......I am sure there will be a few more LO's up in the next week or 2. Expecially with the start of a new month just around the corner and new challenges set for us :)

Have a great day

Love

Nene :)

2009-10-23T18:56:00.004+10:00

Had a good day today. We had a couple of visitors and then this afternoon I took the kids to the park so Angela could have a play. Bec & Mia meet us down there too :)

Finished this LO this morning for another bonus for Ladies place your Bids challenge on Scrapping Outback. We had to use a line from a movie for the title, hand stitching, paper rolling and a cluster of embellishments. I had thought of my title so I set Angela up in my shoes so I could get a photo to go with my title. I am really happy with the end result.

I hope that you all have a great weekend :)

Love

Nene :)

2009-10-22T13:22:00.002+10:00

Hi all............have had a fairly busy week so far. Monday did some scrapping for another challenge over at Scrapping Outback, they are keeping us super busy this week, Tuesday Angela was at kindy and I had Lochie to the doctors for needles but he didnt get them cause he is not well :( Yeasterday Bec & Deb came around for a cuppa and then went and got Lochie weighed. He is now 8.5kg and 72.5cm long. Thinking he is going to be a BIG boy :)

Thought I would also explain where Enina J comes from.............it's my name backwards (thanks to Tania Burrows for coming up with that :))

Have a good day

Love

Nene :)

2009-10-19T21:56:00.002+10:00

Here are some photo's we took of the kids on the weekend. I love Lochie's BIG smile in this photo........far too cute (if I can say so :) )

and our local Gloria Jeans were doing face painting on Saturday so we went down and Angela got her face painted.......might have to invest in some face paint cause she loved it.

Love

Nene :)

2009-10-17T16:31:00.004+10:00

Hi...............I thought I would share some of my recent LO's with you. Most of my layouts are done for challenges on Scrapping Outback, a very regulare website that I visit :)

This LO was for the Ladies Place your bids challenge on SO. This was a bonus round to earn extra SO dollars

This was for the October 4 Product challenge. You can only use the 4 products that Rachelle puts in the kit. You are allowed to add inks etc. This has proven to be quite the challenge some months.

This LO was for the November Rusty Pickle challenge on SO. The LO had to be a shape rather than just a 12x12 LO and bright colours were required. Think I covered it all :)

This was an extra challenge that was set while we were waiting for the new comp to start. We had to use a title of a song as out title and I chose "Angie" by The Rolling Stones as this is mums song for Angela and she loves to sing it.

And this one was the September Rusty Pickle challenge. Requirements were to use green and do a LO based on Spring.

Thanks for looking :) I have done heaps more but didnt want to bore you all too much with my first post of layouts.

Love

Nene :) xoxox

2009-10-16T13:38:00.003+10:00

Well hi all.......it has been over 12months since I started my blog.....I know very slack. Thanks to Bec for going over things again with me so I can become a better blogger :). Keep looking on here to see what we are up to and I will also upload some of my scrapping layouts.

Love
