Camp Mojo challenge #4

Camp Mojo is a retreat I am going to next year in the Hunter Valley and every month they have a challenge with fab prizes. For the last challenge we had to make a layout and a card using 3 different punches. Here's what I contributed.....

"Do you look like Me?"

And some close ups...........

And my card..........."Hello"

Thanks for visiting and have a great week...........

Yippee!!! Blog Whisper finished!!!

Hurray !!!! A long time ago, in a land far away..... No seriously......  A while ago the lovely Bridgette started a blog whisper where someone starts a layout and then it just goes from one lady to another and you get to see how much it has changed as it passes hands......a bit like "Chinese Whispers" that you used to play in school.....

So here's my layout ......I stayed pretty true to the one that Bridgette sent me

"Happiness comes out of You"

And then I sent it on to Ali

Happy hopping....will have to do mine when I get back from Noosa!

Some new layouts!!!

I got very busy scrapping on the weekend and did heaps of layouts..... Yeah!!!! Some I can't share just yet because they are for the next Scrapboxx newsletter but this is one I have done for Scrap the Girls October challenge ( I have since added more journaling down the side about how Olivia got her name)
I used The Girls Paperie (so pretty) and lots of yummy new Prima ,including packaging!

"What's in a name?"

And some close ups....

For the fence I used crackle paint ( love that stuff!)

"Our Darling Daughters"

Close up of my punched concertinaed flower.....crystal butterfly from Green Tara and I used Sassafrass lass papers and a little bit of this and that from my stash.

"Pretty Little Girl"

This layout I have used bits and pieces from my stash and a heap of lace I got in a big bag from the op shop for $1.50!!!

Will show you  the others later on......When I can share:)

Have a great weekend!

The Fairy Party

The Fairy Party

Ella had  her 6th birthday last week and to celebrate I gave her a fairy party for her and some school friends.

The day turned out to be wet and miserable and the party was nearly postponed but we decided to go ahead and it ended up being a great day despite the rain.

Here is our beautiful little Ella fairy.

The party area!

See my beautiful tissue paper balls I spent hours making .....you can get the tutorial from here....tissue paper pom poms

See the pink mushroom cushions I decided to make at 7.30pm the night before!

The goodie table....yum!

All the little fairies.....

All fairies have to blow bubbles.....

(She's ditched the wings and grabbed a cardi by now!)

And of course the cake!

And that's it for another few years (I hope)!

Got a scrappy weekend this weekend (hubby away!) I'll hopefully have loads to share next week!
