My last Scrapboxx newsletter

I made the very painful decision to step down from my position as design team member from my favourite scrapbooking site Scrapboxx this month. I just felt with me now working I wasn't putting my all into what I thought I should be doing and have hardly scrapped since starting work! So sadly this was my last contrbution to the August newsletter which you can read here.....

The theme for the DT this month was something to do with Spring, so I found this old photo of me in my Nan's garden.

"Admiring Nana's camellia's"

Sadly no other layouts for me although I have had one on my desk for a few weeks now waiting to be finished. Should go and do it now but think I'm going to head to bed....went out to thr RSL last night to see a Bon Jovi tribute band (they were actually pretty good!)

Anyway

See ya!

A scrap whisper long overdue....and my final Stuck Sketch :(

Well once upon a time there was a scrap whisper and here is my take on it ........

 Sorry I'm a bit late with the blog hop but you can head over to LJ's blog here to check out what she did with the whisper.....

Also this is my final sketch from Stuck?! Sketches, I didn't re-apply as I just don't have time to commit to a lot these days with me working now....
Here is the gorgeous sketch (right up my alley!)

 And my take on it......

"Our new baby girl"

Thanks for popping by and I hope you liked my layouts..... E x

Pretty quiet here....

Sorry I have been MIA for a while on the blogging front....for a few reasons, one of which I've been on my iPad a lot and it doesn't have any of my scrap pics on there to upload, 2, By the time I get my jobs done at night ie @ 9.30ish I'm pretty stuffed.....!

I have forgotten to upload my sketch for July 15th sketch over at Stuck?! Sketches so here it is before the next one is up LOL!

"Farm Animals"

Using some gorgeous October Afternoon papers that fitted this photo perfectly! and of course some closies....
