Happy Mother's Day

Well it was a very quiet one for me, I spent the day doing some paperwork for the Studio and catching up in the forum. Then I cleaned the house (exciting eh) and made some chocolate Bundt Cakes, that actually turned out, fabulous. We'll have one each for desert tonight and then I will send the rest to work with Michael. Too much Chocolate Temptation is a bad thing for me rofl. Christopher did ring at around 2pm so I had a lovely chat to him and I spoke to my Mum at about 9am to wish her a happy day. So all is quiet here in our household but content :)

I hope everyone else had a lovely Mother's Day too.

We had a great NSD at the Studio with a scrap-a-thon, I was up at 4am to take part and I managed to get a heap of layouts done, well for me it is a heap LOL.


2 pm chat with Piggyscraps




3pm chat with Amber of RubyLane Designs




4pm chat with Michelle of shelly Marie Scraps




5pm chat with ME




6pm chat with Jeanette of mITSYBELLE Designs




7pm chat with Janice of JWDigiscraps


And I love all the pages I made Yay!!


I have been playing around with my blog as you might have guessed. I downloaded a free wp layout after struggling to edit one I had bought. I am finding the free ones are more user friendly if you want to make it look more your own style with custom header and background. I guess you can't have everything, sigh.

Well that's me for now, not a lot of stuff to talk about of late, Michael has an interview with Tas Ambulance so crossing some fingers that we get a good result there, if not we will finally be able to make a move to settle properly in Sydney for good.

That's that for now, take care and Happy Scrapping

Anzac Day 2010

Yesterday was our 6th Wedding Anniversary.

anniversarycards

It was a quiet day, Michael had worked the night before so slept most of  it and in the evening we ended up not going out for dinner even, he looked just way too tired for an outing. So we had bacon, eggs and chips for dinner LOL. Not real romantic but quite yummy.

Happy Anniversary My Sweetness.  Can't believe it's already been 6 years, where do the years go?


I made the Card I gave Michael with some pics from the ceremony on our big day


This is the Photoshop file

And Here is the created card


My photo was a bit dark as it is quite miserable here today so I had to lighten it, that's the only reason the color of the paper isn't quite right.


I may have to visit my friend "The Gamut warning tool" with the paper I used  :)

It's ANZAC day here in Australia, this is our Memorial Day for those who have defended our country in Action. Most of you will know my father was an Army Warrant Officer and I am very proud of all he did while he was in the British and Australian Defence Forces.

As I do each year since I created this mini for the SAS Next SAS-y Lady Designer Competition, here is the remembrance kit I created. It's more Americana than Australian but I am sure a lot of American Scrappers could put it to good use :)
