well i am in shock i had a call this morning

I had a call this morning from the lovely Susan at Grant Archivals letting me know that i had one there competition Grace Taylor “ Create Something Beautiful” contest.
I was so happy to hear this as i love alot of there papers and stamps well you all know that i have a stamp fetish.I have one $500 dollars worth of products and that is massive .

This clock was also made from the Grace Taylor papers the are so beautiful i have cut up the flowers the bird and the music papers and modpodged to the

chipboard clock.Do pretty i think.When i first found these papers i searched Adelaide for them every shop had sold out of this pack.By chance one day i went to Marion Big W and alas i found them.If you are lucky enough to have them I'm sure you would have used them by now.I have kept some as favourites lol.

The competition winning entry i love this layout and the picture The flowers are handmade from the Grace Taylor papers.

Susan has also asked me to be on there design team which of course i said yes.They are still working out the nuts and bolts of this so it should be soon.It is so great to be working on a Australian manufacturer design team.You can buy there products from spotlight,K mart ,Big W and lincraft.That's fab i think.These were all the projects that i sent in for the design team and the competition.The layout Joy was chosen for the winner of the comp.

The color room and two new challenges for October

The  Color room 25 #  challenge for last week was beautiful i missed it as i was away and was glad that i could come home and scrap these colors.

Scrap the girls for September was using flowers buttons and an inspirational  quote you click on the scrap the girls on the side bar and take a look at all the great inspiration there.

And last but not least the 123 challenge blog for this month was to use the word go hand cut title and the color green.These were all bought to you by  the lovely Gi.This was the layout i put together on the plane.And finished it off when i came home.

Been a long time between posts

We have been on holidays so we have had a great break for a week on the gold coast.I got to catch up with Lindy,Pip And Gigi we talked for a few hours thanks girls for the catchup i really appreciate it.

I HAVE MANAGED TO ONLY DO ONE LAYOUT FOR A WHOLE WEEK AND ONE JUST BEFORE I LEFT.

This is the layout for BAP prima for September

I also managed to put together another layout on the plane crazy i know.I have the scrap the girls layout on the go so that should be up by tomorrow.Along with the 123 challenge blog layout so stay tuned.

The color room #24

Close ups

My take on the color room challenge this week.Gosh i would never have used these colors together but i really like them now.The green is a bit light but that was all i had in my stash.And i thought the other color looked grey to me so i have used that too i have used a couple of bits of the darker brown in my layout as well.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend take care Love Kerry xx

A long post and a lost tooth

Mikayla lost her first tooth she was so happy because the tooth fairy was going to come.She was so excited that she ran off into the bathroom to look at her lost tooth.That when she came bounding back into the family room it bounced out of her hand.We searched everywhere and could not find it i thought oh know what can we tell her.I had to tell her that the tooth fairy's already had been notified that she had lost the tooth and that they would come and find it and take it with them leaving some money behind.
Well that planned worked except this morning when she woke up she found her money in her glass beside her bed.She came out to show Colin and i and then went to go into the kitchen low and behold what do you think she found yes you guessed it her tooth.Some quick thinking by me and Colin had to also stick to the story that it must have slipped from the fairy's hand and that they would be back tonight to retrieve it,so i have put it back in the glass but there we be no more money just a tooth gone.

My friend Jodi at the retreat that we went to at Lake Keep it in NSW.Thanks so much Jodi for looking after us all and we all had a very productive weekend.It was lovely to catchup with Jules,Lindy and Pip.Can't wait till you girls come to Adelaide to do some scrapping here with me.
