I have finally scrapbooked again

Finally looks like the scrapbooking mojo may have returned. Last night I had a play with the Prima paintables, this design came in my Poppy Ink Kit that came this week from Blue Bazaar. This was so much fun, I used my water colour crayons, an aqua brush pen, & 1 tombo. I also did a couple of other LO's, but that will have to be for another time. Off to a birthday party now..

Inching artists weekly challenge

This weeks wonderful and yet again challenging theme @ inching artists is "holes." As soon as I saw it I wondered and wondered what "the" am I going to do. First thoughts were a peeping hole, mmmm ok perhaps not, ozone layer hole mmm ok too hard, the black hole,mmm again too hard, and then today it came to me, a key hole using the "Collections" chipboard keyholes. Viola done, happy me.. Here is the link to come and play.

Postie was finally kind

After weeks of waiting and more waiting for my little parcel from the wonderfully talented Monique http://smallworld.web-log.nl/

from the Netherlands, Australian quaratine decided to post it on after they rumaged through a box of yummy goodies and art work from my fellow BB'ers. Last year we did an ATC swap followed closely by a moo card swap, and finally I have these wonderful creations in my hands.

Last year when I posted my ATC's & moo cards to Monique, I decided to add a few Australiana items, such as Tim Tams (which she loved), milo, and of course VEGEMITE. Needless to say unless your an aussie it sure is an aquired taste. Along with an aussie teatowel, most probably made in China along with a couple of stuffed aussie animals. So today I have the Netherlands in a taste box in front of me, and all the wonderfully different packaging has me rather intrique like the nun on the box of Cocoa. I am sure there is a history and story there. Havent been game enough to try anything yet, though I think tomorrow will bring a much gamer Sarah to try foods from another wonderful country. Thank you Monique I love all the treasures this box has, and thank you girls from BB for your wonderful creations..

In the mood to make cards

Today instead of cleaning my desk of scraps, I decided to use the scraps and make some cards. Quite simple and quick, but sometimes that is just satisfying enough for ones lack of creativity and mojo.

I made a few extra, seven in fact so if anyone out there in blogland that would love to swap, leave me a comment, then email me. Have I ever mentioned I love swapping ATC's. Last week I recievd a beautiful bundle of wonderfully created ATC's by a lovely lady Judy in the US.http://myartisticside.blogspot.com/ Thank you Judy, I shall treasure them.

Ok off to create something, dont know what now, but I will find something.

Skinny Saturday- Pierrot

This weeks theme at Skinny Saturday is Pierrot. Interesting theme as I have a stamp, but it quite wasnt what I was after, however I remember a trip down to Geelong earlier this year, and on the foreshore they have old pier bollards painted in all different characters. And of course lucky for me, I photographed a pierrot. With a little help of the computer and ink, viola!!! Next to mine is my 6yr old daughters who had to play along tonight as well. Her theme was clowns jugglying the buttons. Isnt it precious... She is going to be so happy to see her work on the net!! God love her..

Inching artists challenge

Today while it was stinking hot, I decided to follow the inching artist challenges. http://inchingartists.blogspot.com/ Even though they are tiny and fiddly, they are a great way of using your stamps or even parts of them and of course that ever growing scrap stash. This weeks theme is the roaring 20's and I used an image from old old magazine, must have been something like our new idea or womans weekly. Hop over to inching artists blog to follow Lindas greats themes each week.

An ATC

This afternoon I sat down to play with Tim Holtz new grungeboard and some beautiful silver glimmer mist from Tattered angels.

Hopefully now, some of the mojo will get flowing again and I can start playing more and doing what I love doing and that is getting all inky and gluey fingers.

Thats about it for now.

Outdoors fun

The last few days have been so much fun. Yesterday we went for a massive 12km bike ride with my nephew, and Imogen. We rode our way along the Yarrowee creek trail, soaking up all the bush and wildlife. Imogen and I couldnt help but stop to pat this beauiful and friendly horse along the way.

Today we visited the Fairy Park at Anankie just outside of Geelong. And wow that place has changed since I was a child. I had fond memories of a massive silver slide, and Barry had memories of go carts. Well the slide isnt all that big now, or is that I have just grown up, and well the go carts, well perhaps exciting for a toddler and thats all I have to say on that one. Sorry Barry. However this place is wonderful, and I cant wait to go back.

There hasnt been much creating going on, on my desk of late. Well nothing that I can share at the moment. Doing some LO's and stuff for Scrapbook Shenagians however will endevour to do more for my DT position in the coming weeks, thank you Michele for being so patient with me. OK off to rest my sore bum and bones

Love Sarah
