Punched layout

Hi from sunny Bundaberg. Here is a layout I did last week of my son and daughter. I am trying really hard to do flat (well flatter!!) pages. I used my trustyhole punch to make the circle patterns. I was really pleased with the result. My fave colours- blue and brown!!

It's good to be home!!


Home to Bundaberg!! I was sooo itching to get into my scraproom..I have done 2 layouts. Lovin the Heidi Swapp circle chipboard letters, I expect they'll be on my next few layouts. And while I have been gone..a new scrapbook shop opened!! I went and had a quick look..looks great. We are very lucky here in Bundy, for a small town of 80 000 or so, we have 3 scrapbook shops, plus the department type stores selling scrap stuff. The more choice the better! Only 2 weeks until our scrap club retreat, this time I am going to be organised!! I sat next to a lady at a crop day who did 8 double layouts in 6 hours!!! Talk about turbo scrapper!! She had all her photos, embellishments and papers for layouts all in seperate page holders, ready to scrap!! I just can't work like that..I don't know what I need until I need it, if you know what I mean??!! Anyway, I am going to get organised ( as I can!) for this retreat, and do..... 8 double layouts..over the three days that is!! Well, you gotta have a goal right!!

Still In Sydney

One more day to shop!! Actually I am just about shopped out and missing my kids!! Back to Bundy tomorrow morning to make a plan to keep kids entertained over school holidays (started yesterday). Looking forward to getting back into my scrap studio - I have got loads of inspiration while I have been down here.. and starting work on new book!!!! How exciting!! I have so many ideas I need to sit quietly for a while and just.. breathe.... Ok that's better.
I will upload some layouts when I get home..

Shopping in Sydney

Hi all, I am in Sydney for a few days, checking out the scrapbook goodies that I can't get up in Bundaberg. I have been to a few shops, the superstore in Penrith was the best so far...does anyone have any fave stores they can recommend?? It's nice to be away for a few days, but the old Mother's guilt kicks in!! Both kids crying on phone tonight - I'm sure they stopped as soon as I hung up!! But Mum's need a break too...right???
As soon as I get back to Bundy, I am going to post some pages..(and I have heaps of ideas for new ones!!)
