INCREDIBLE, come look at this!!

This is amazing!!

Amy is celebrating a milestone. Just a little over a year ago she decided to track her paper usage for her cards she's been making. She has reached 1000 and then some, now that's ALOT of paper!

You wanna see what a 1000 sheets of paper looks like??

If you blog hop over to Amy's blog she's celebrating her milestone with a GIVE AWAY ~ she's giving away 1000 sheets of 6x6 Paper and stamps. All you have to do is go over to her blog copy the image and post about her giveaway onto you blog and leave a comment on her blog.

Simple huh! Well get a crack on, what you waiting for??

DP2 Challenge ~ Wings

Hey hey

Well today has been a mixed day of sorts.

• Weather ~ VERY wet!
  
• Good news on the home front ~ hubby has work for the next 4 months anyway, then after that we'll see what the outcome will be, fingers crossed he doesn't lose his job right on Christmas xx
• My weee girl (well she's nearly 11, but still my baby) has a big swollen finger. She went to catch a ball yesterday at school and her finger bent back and went "click".
• Thursday night we enrolled her into Intermediate School
• And today I enrolled Jess (my middle child) into High School. They're growing up so fast

I went to scrapbooking today, I managed to make a card in which I'll be entering into a few challenges.

And when I got home I made a great looking fruit cake, hubby's fav!!

Interesting times ahead ~ Challenges thrown in the mix too

Good evening all,

Well our family has some interesting times ahead of us. My husband's company went into receivership yesterday, and will more than likely be liquidated. We are unsure of our stance in the company and are being left in the dark by head office overseas. Only time will tell what the outcome will be ....

Anyway to ease the nerves I made a card tonight for a challenge or two ...

Mo's DP2 Challenge 'Christmas in July'
Little Red Wagon 'Christmas in July'
Stamp Something: 'Christmas in July'
Our Creative Corner: 'Christmas in July'
Digi Doodle Shop's Best: 'Punch or Cut Me ... Challenge #18'


This layout is from this week's Dare U 2 Digistamp sketch challenge:



















The image is from the delightful Mo Manning.






















I've coloured her with Copics, used my Nesties, Cuttlebug snow die and Martha Stewart punch, with a little Kindy Glitz for a bit of sparkle.

Three cards made this weekend

Hello to all

I'm quite chuffed with my achievement of this weekend.

I have managed to make three cards.

We had a great time this arvo. We went out to Bethells Beach and climbed the sand dunes. The girls went down them on their boogie board, alot of fun we had.

Well with my mother's card made last night, I made my MIL's card today. Her birthday is just 2 days after my mothers.

My MIL lives a 3 1/2 hour drive away in the lovely city of Taupo. We visit there about 3-4 times a year.

I'm entering this card into three challenges.

*The Sweet Stop
*ABC Design
*The Sweetest Thing - Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 79




Time to have any early night as I didn't lay my head down until 1.30am this morning.
