March is nearly over!!

I can't believe how fast the year is going, easter next week and then I guess we'll start heading into winter...

Did a couple of layouts for the Scrapbook Savvy Cypercrop that was held the week before last...


Travelling in Style - Blind Scrap Challenge





























Flower Girls - had to use a specific photo (available at Scrapbook Savvy) as inspiration...





























Concentration - another challenge based on a specific picture (available at Scrapbook Savvy forum)...




























Once again I am behind in my '52 weeks of us' album, have the photos ready just haven't had the time to scrap... two uni subjects is definitely keeping me on my toes, and I am trying desperately not to fall behind...



Rory and I are busy doing 'easter' stuff, made biscuits today, just need to ice them after her sleep today. We have some dough left over that I think we will put in the freezer - will make for an easy baking day later in the week. We also have some other crafty stuff planned, and we have been talking about the easter bunny coming...

More Layouts!!

I have been on a bit of a roll just of late... well for me anyway!! This is Week 9 of my '52 weeks of Us' album:




























And I have done two layouts!! using the Scrapbook Savvy - We're Savvy kit for March - also had to scraplift a page from the Design Team at Scrapbook Savvy, use at least a two word title, and use more than 3 embellishments.




















































Not a lot else happening around here, am keeping up with two Uni subjects quite well so far, and have been doing a lot of baking, collage, and crafty stuff with Rory. She is loving dancing, and is very busy at the moment learning the days of the week - PlaySchool does wonders!

I am looking forward to the Scrapbook Savvy cybercrop that starts tonight: here's hoping I actually get some of the challenges done!

I've been so slack!!

Well, I can't believe how slack I have been about this blog, it seems to be the thing on the bottom of my list all the time.

Not that alot has been happening, finished Indigenous Perspectives for Educators at Uni and got a High Distinction, so was pleased with that, it was certainly unexpected. The new Semester started on March 1 and I am doing two subjects, Communication and Scholarship, and Psychology A.

Rory started Tiny Tots dance classes at the beginning of February, she looks so cute in her leotard, skirt and slippers. We have been doing lots of baking, gluing and activity books while I have been off Uni.

I decided at the beginning of the year I was going to scrapbook a '52 weeks of Us', basically a 8.5X11 page for each week of the year. I am mostly using scraps etc. and leftovers from kits.

Week 1 - Make a Wish



























Week 2 - Feeding Einstein (papers from Scrapbook Savvy kit)



























Week 3 - Fun (inspiration from a Scrapbook Savvy We're Savvy kit challenge)



























Week 4 - Swimming Lessons (once again using leftovers from January We're Savvy kit)



























Week 5 - Swimming in Luxury



























Week 6 - Dance (inspiration for this one from Scrap the Girls blog)



























Week 7 - Coffee (inspiration for this one from a February Scrapbook Savvy Cybercrop challenge)


























Week 8 - No More Dummy



























Haven't done any real pages... but I guess this way I am at least doing one page a week!

We had another 3 inches of rain here last night, so that means 14 inches of rain since the start of February! Sorely needed, and I have to say the overcast/rainy weather hasn't bothered me like it usually does!! Lucky, because I think we are in for more tomorrow!
