My Brags Tags

i am making brag tags this year or my mum, dad, my inlaws and my sister in law. this is my mum's all finished. i have put a piece of raw leather through the eyelets and have dyed it with the same pigment ink that i have used to do the edges of the tags ........i love them ......

this is the cover and the 3rd page ......the other pages are a bit out of the order as in the 2nd and the 4th are together...they are back to back.......but you get the idea .......

i am half way through my dads and have got the other 2 organised the p/p and card stocks .....they are all going to be the same photo's

just click to see them up closer

 

My First Challenge

this was the most fun i have ever had in doing a scrap layout ever. It was for an ongoing challenge on the top50 ( http://www.scrapbookingtop50.com.au/frontpage/html/ ) the challenge was set by Bon ( http://bonsscraps.blogspot.com/ ) and the challengers were set by No 1, Judith stamping but it can't be letters
No 2, Bon use hand stitching in purple
N0 3, Jude a photo of YOU on it!
and this was the result........i absolutely hated the thought of taking a pic of me ....so i thought i would do a fun photo......but i nearly was wetting my pants laughing while a friend was trying to take the pic ........man what a crazy day and a great memory...B-)

Breaking The Ice

Well girls i have done it. i have started my own blog. It seems to be the thing to do. So for those who know me thanks for looking in on my daily magic dust. I just love to scrap and i find it is great therapy to relax and clear the mind of daily duties. i really love challenges because for me they often take me out of my comfort zones .......and i love to see what i come up with . Some time i love them and others , well i have looked back on and thought what was i thinking ......But i would never change them.

For those who have not crossed my path and are just having a sticky beak to see what this is about (or me for that matter) i am a pretty chilled out relaxed person and often find that i am the joker in a crowd. i love the sound of laughter and i love to be around happy people. i am happily married with four kids and one grandson, and i wish i could own a hippie van with big pink flowers painted over it......wouldn't that lotto ticket be great.......What would you buy with your share of that lotto ticket?
