Scraphappy LO's and ATC

Me.....with the leftovers from Kathies LO

Kathies class. Krystal and her friend.

Farmyard Animal ATC.

Cass and I headed over to Seymour again Friday night and we did the LO with friends on it. Love it thanks Kathie. The other purple one is what I did with the leftovers. I also redid my Farmyard animal ATC as I wasn't happy with my first one (I loved the pic on it but I didn't feel like i 'did anything' on it) so heres my 2nd attempt. Sooo looking forward to Trudis class over at Kathies next Friday night!! We got a sneak peek of Trudis class on Kaths blog http://scraphappykat.blogspot.com/. Pop on over and take a peek.... Thanks for stopping by....Pauly xx

Sweeties Blog Entries

These are the other LO's I did last weekend for Sweeeties Blog Card Sketch and Page Sketch....Off to see if I can create anything else...Paulyxx

Challenge Chics Cyber Crop

This one wasn't part of the cybercrop..it was an online class of Debs. Thanks Deb, I love it!!

This one of Phillip was for the challenge I set - 'white on white'. Been trying for years to scrap one of Phillip, it finally fell into place with white being so 'heavenly'.

This one was for Karinas sketch challenge. I used some of my Rose Moka papers I've had for a while. Turned out quite 'colourful'!

This one was for Vickis mini album challenge. Re-did the front cover to fit in with her requirements and finished off with more pages.

This one was for Amandas quote challenge -"Dream dreams that no-one dared dream before." My Tack looks so young and innocent here!! LOL, he's not!! Used some leftover bits from Debs online class layout.

Well, that was a mega-productive weekend for me!! Joined in on the Challenge Chics Cybercrop (link on my sidebar) and I have all the challenges done but one. We have until Wednesday to upload entries so I may get the last challenge done?? Games were fun too! I missed out on Bingo Saturday night as we went out to tea with Cass and Paul and had to wait over an hour and a half to get our meals Grrr! and they weren't that flash when we finally did get them!! I got eight layouts done, two cards and finished off a mini album for a workmate that has been sitting unfinished for months. AND got all the housework done AND all the bookwork! Hit invoice number 2000 today! Not bad for a one-man band! Gee my hubby works hard!! Shall upload my Sweeties entries maybe tomorrow night (if I not too exhausted from work) Ahh, back to work fulltime tomorrow! Ruined my track record of one sick day in ten and half years now!! Ah well, I must be getting old!! Thanks for stopping by....until next time....Pauly xx

WEBSTER AT LAST!!

Gotta love Webster pages!!

August 'Shabby Chic' ATC swap at the Challenge Chics

'Hearts' Aug Batlow swap.

I brought myself some gorgeous Webster pages probably about 6 -8 months ago and haven't been game enough to use them cos they are so pretty!! I didn't wanna ruin them!! Anyway I got real game and scrapped a photo of my cousin and her family, such a lovely family portrait I stole of Facebook! Got some great ones of her sisters birthday party that I wanna scrap too. Hanging to see my cousins that I haven't seen forever! Thinking about riding our Harleys over in October when Krystal is over in Malaysia. Either that or jump on a plane to Queensland....still deciding as I wanna do both but not enough time!!

Just been up to the Osteopath and she tells me she has put everything back where it should be....may be sore for a couple of days. So much better than over the weekend!!! Woohoo!!

Better be off...Thanks for stopping by Pauly xx

PS. Check out my Star Cafe link on my sidebar....Just click on the logo...can't wait till our new shop is done!!!

Not the best weekend ever!

Coffee anyone????

A LO of our little Cody, using my Guest DT pack from Uproar to Scrapmore. Yes, I am on the guest design team member for August.Will post details of Cybercrop soon!!

Scraphappy ATC Swap - 'Farmyard Animals '

Family & Friends Aug ATC Swap - 'Buttons & Lace'

Uproars Aug ATC Swap - 'A splash of colour'

Would put this one down as not one of my best weekends ever...OUCH!! Knocked off work absolutely exhausted Friday....asleep in my recliner by about 8pm...woke up at 3am and crawled to bed.....up at 9am with a bit of a sore back...........spent the whole morning doing accounts, statements and 'end of month' stuff....met MIL and Al for lunch at the Witches Brew, sat there for a couple of hours until I couldn't sit no more...pottered around the house whining that my back was sore and it just kept getting sorer by the minute. Cass came up to scrap as usual, but I just finished off some ATC's that I nearly had completed anyway and I had to leave her at the table by herself cos I was really startin to hurt and was havin trouble sitting, walking and existing! Took one of Robs voltarins and went to bed...kept waking up bellowing in pain..OMG! By Sunday morning I could hardly move and decided Rob better take me up to Casualty at the hospital. A nurse gave me an injection in the butt and four and a half hours later..........finally see a Doctor!! She tells me I have typical sciatica, take these drugs, and take a week off work and R&R. Well here I am, bored outa my brain! Can't just lay around! Can do a bit of scrappin, but can't sit too long. Bit sore today, but don't ever want it to get as bad as it was Sat/ Sun before that injection!!! Enough whinging for today, sorry peoples! Might be off to wander around some more.... Paulyxx

Weekend Update

Lexie, Pauly, Kathy, Shell and Cass.

Layout one from Friday night

Layout two from Friday night

Xmas cards from Kathies kit.

One off 'Wings' ATC for Vicki. Lots of wings, hope you like.

Cass and I went off to Seymour Friday night to Kathies for a class with Shell. Finally got to meet Shell and Lexie. Met a few other girls too that we hadn't met at Kathies before. Had a great nights, lots of laughs, not much scrappin! We stayed at a motel, then back to Kathies for brekkie with Shell and Lexie on Saturday morning. Great to meet new people, they were all lovely.

Saturday night I made 10 Xmas cards with a kit from Kathie, with lots of leftovers to make plenty more!! Sunday I had hoped to ride and scrap after I had done some bookwork and got my Tax ready to take to the accountant......totally lost the day to bookwork! Rob went out to the shed late in the arvo to make sure his Harley started as we haven't ridden for quite a while ...so I followed him and thought I should check mine too. They started okay, but then I had a bigger urge to ride!! So on I jumped in my pink flanny pj's and slappers.....down the drive, turned out at the road and come back, so lucky Rob didn't think to grab the camera...pretty funny sight!!

Can't believe the end of the month is nearly here as I hardly got any challenges done this month. Maybe next month I may get more done??? Better get some tea on, so I outa here. Thanx for stopping by Pauly xx

Page two of double layout (needs more bugs I think)

Krystals new hairdo

'Me' ATC

Winter ATC

Music ATC

The three layouts are from a class at Scraphappy Kats (Kathies). I started them over there and finished them off over the weekend. We left earlier than normal, I was feeling a bit off and mega-tired. Drove home with pains in the stomach. Saturday I was crook as....so I guess it started Friday night. Love these old photos of Cody and thought they suited the layouts to a tee..the second page of the double really needs 'something else' I will cut out some more bugs and think of 'something else'.

The ATC's I have been working on over the last couple of weeks. The music one is for the Challenge Chicks swap. The winter one is for a small friends swap. The 'me' one is for a swap at Uproar2Scrapmore. Thanks for stopping by.....Paulyxx

Another DEB Collage!

This is another collage I did from Deb's online class. My third collage now and I'm lovin em!! I have tackled one of my own and am working on another at the moment (actually been sitting on my table for a week, I want more scrappin time!!) They are not something you can whip up quick!! Off to Kathies tomorrow night to play with butterflies, woohoo! Just a quick post as I am supposed to be doing invoices. Oops, can't help myself!! Thanx for stopping by...Pauly xx

Cybercrop Layouts

Love this photo of Lucas. This was for Vickis Blind challenge.

This one for Stars challenge with no 'brought' patterned paper, so I used paint, ink and doodled!

My challenge was a collage. This is my first own attempt. I did an online class with Deb. Used a bit of leftovers from the class collage and a bit of leftover lime rickey as well.

This one was for Angies sketch challenge. Loved her sketch but dont like my layout. LOL, can't win em all!

Got four layouts done this weekend. One Friday night, one Sat. night, one yesterday and one last night. Spread it out over the weekend amongst stocktaking and end of month stuff. Tack (my boy) got his blower taken out of his ute and his restrictions off his licence last Wednesday. He can finally drive his brand new ute!! I am buying his black ute from him and he took the courtesy car, so now my VT is the courtesy car and I got the ute!! I love it!! Hope he has learnt his lesson and will never drink and drive again!! I really believe he has, he has grown up so much and realizes life isn't just one big party! Has a lovely girlfriend, hope it works out for him this time!! Better get some tea happening. Oh and Kathie, we will definately be there Friday night....no way am I missing out on the butterflies!! See you then. Bye for now Pauly xx

Debs

Hey check out Debs new Challenge Chics site! Cybercrop on this weekend, come and join the fun....link on my sidebar.

Hungry???

Woodland/Forest Critters ATC

I Wish ATC

The brekkie is for you Sue!! You mentioned a while back that I would have lotsa stuff at work that I could take photos of...I remembered!! This is our 'Works Breakfast' at Ski Inn Cafe where I work. We have had lots of brekkies while touring around on our bikes, I reckon ours is the best!! (not biased at all, we are often told that by customers too!!)

A couple of ATC's, one is a sample for our family & friends swap (haven't finished them yet) with the theme 'Woodland/Forest Critters', so I chose a little squirrel. The other is a 'one off' with the theme 'I wish' for a swap at Uproar2Scrapmore. Next I have 'music' for a swap at Debs and a set with a photo of me (eek) also at Uproar. Oops, little bit hooked here!! Oh and just a little swap with the theme 'Winter".

Now its vent time Grrr. We got a truck tyre changer a week ago today.....Rob spent a million hours searching the web and making phone calls before we decided on a machine. We didn't go the 'cheapy', we went about mid-range, took a bank loan to get the sucker and what happens....yesterday it broke!!! So not happy!!! A hydraulics man spent nearly four hours there today......a new part has been ordered and better be here tomorrow and it better fix it!! We are both exhausted, been crook and this just topped it off! Okay finished whinging...sorry

Thanks for stopping by Pauly xx
