well the month is creeping past me and my challenge of a LO every day has gone by the wayside...
oh well....i'll just keep plodding along with things.
now my LOs are up over at RJR i can share them here.
jenny has a cool deal that you can actually buy the same ribbons that the DT used on their LOs as a pack each month. hopefully we have inspired you to scrap LOs or cards using the ribbons that we have.
and i was excited to learn that jenny will be sending us some ribbon stiff as part of this month's DT pack....can't wait to have a play with it and see what i can come up with.
people tell me that the stuff is AMAZING to work with.
i guess we shall see.
so here are my very first DT LOs and a card for RJR.
3/31 - i love this photo of mark and jake that matt took in november last year. despite the fact that mark realised matt was taking his pic (from a long way off using the long lens), hence the "that's gold" hand signal, it shows just a dad and one of his boys deep in conversation. i love that mark always tries to be so involved in the kids' lives and constantly talks to them about things that interest them and tries to learn about the things that interest them.

4/31 - this is my old bean and nanna's wedding pic from 1939 that my dad had repaired and re-touched. i just love this pic (it's the second time i have scrapped it). it shows my old bean and nanna in a way that i never knew...young and so very much in love. i wanted the LO to be fairly simple yet elegant. i made the flowers using one of the sheers that jenny sent in our DT pack. they were a bit fiddly to make but i love the effect i created. and i guarantee that those gloves that old bean was holding never saw the light of day again....LOL he was such a rough and tumble, hard living man. geez i miss having them both here *SIGH*

5/31 - must admit this was a very quick LO that i did when i felt that i hadn't done enough with the ribbons that jenny sent me. i guess it showed because jenny didn't use it on her blog....but that's ok. still....it's a pic of kait that is now scrapped and the sentiments are very true.
and lastly a nice quick little card i whipped up. it's simple but i love it. not only used some of my RJR pack but also some of my left over PP from an EMM challenge pack. (the new packs for august are up on the site already and i am seriously thinking of getting the whole three of them - YUMMO)
i also travelled to the gold coast last friday night to take a class with the gorgeous and truly inspirational miss zina wright, help at the scrapyard.
i travelled up with kirsten, a lady also from lismore who i kinda "found" online and we have been emailing and calling each other for a few months now.
we finally met and well...we chatted and nattered all our way to the coast and back.
it blew me away the number of people that we both knew.
we are hoping to get together for a scrapping day one day soon plus we are heading back up to the scrapyard next friday night (with kirsten's SIL, lorraine) for another class with zina.
we were lucky enough to do the class last week, with the equally gorgeous and simply stunning linda, a friend from EMM who not only welcomed us into her home but fed us a delicious roast pork dinner and showed us her small but so sweet scrapping area where she creates all her amazing LOs.
i have only met linda on one other occasion, when we sat together at the EMM retreat in march, but i am still blown away by her elegance and her gorgeous nature.
and she is a simply amazing scrapper.
some serious drool material here.
oh....and i have yet to finish my "little birdie told me" album from zina's class....but i will share it when i have. it is very "handmade" and lots of doodling and handwriting.
(hmmmm....not so sure about that bit but oh well)
anyways....that is enough of a post for now.
i have more, VERY exciting news to share but that can wait for this afternoon.
have a wonderful sunday and remember....
look for the things in your life that make you smile
~~ and let those you love, know that you do ~~

HAPPY THOUGHT FOR TODAY
spending time with like minded women, talking scrapping and life and anything else that take's our fancy at the time.
just being together is very good for one's soul.
i thank God every day for the blessings and friendships that have been brought to my life through this wonderful craft called scrapping.
oh well....i'll just keep plodding along with things.

Shazz, your projects for RJR are just gorgeous!
OMG! I have just had a DOH moment! I didn't realise that I hadn't included that gorgeous flower lo in the blog Shazz! No slight intended at all! I just hadn't counted to make sure I had every thing up there. I am going now, slinking back to Typepad in shame to add it up there with your other great work...........
ps Sounds like you had a great time friday night. Its great when you just click with someone you have just met.
Hi Shazz,
your layouts all look fantastic! It's great to hear you had a chance to get away too, and have some quality scrapping time at Zina's class.
Didn't you have some exciting news you were going to share?! Can't wait to hear what it is :-)
Megan xx
