meet Wendy...

be nice & don't laugh as she's a little shy!!

Do you like her party dress?

I know shes a little sad looking...thats how shes meant to be...but I love her all the same! After attending a recent class taught by Jill GG http://jillgg.typepad.com/jillygg/ I got to see one of her girls she draw IRL....I fell in love with these girls she draws & just wanted to give it a go myself. This is my first attempt & maybe not my last, i think she rather cute....in a EMO sort of way :0) There is also a feature article in the latest SC mag about drawing your own precious girlie. I have no idea what her future holds but maybe tomorrow I will get to play...as they say watch this space!!

SCrapper of OZ...

Well....This is round 4 LO from The Scrapper of OZ comp

http://www.scrapz.biz/CHATZONEZ

over at Scrapz.Biz.

You had to scrap about your favourite shoes, hide four secret weapons (must be visible but not obvious)& use a special technique. My 'weapons' are...safety pin which has beads hanging from it (next to the small pink flower)...hair clip which is near the top white rose -its a flower one with bling in the middle. Visa card which I printed from google image & used as a matt under the photo (wish i had a real gold AMEX!!) & a smile - which I used as my title & also my technique. I put alphas down on the CS & then sprayed over with walnut ink, let dry & then lifted the alphas off. I found this technique over at Blossies blog & loved it!!

Any way...as yet I've not been placed in the finals...two more Round winners to be announced but I'm not holding my breath as these ladies are some talented scrappers!!! but oh well I've gotten some LOs scrapped that I wouldn't have done other wise. I loved the challs that were set & really enjoyed participating. Can't wait to see what the girls do in the finals, they will all receive a parcel of the same goodies to use on their LO's.

Scrap with V...cyber crop....

'Imperfect parts of Life' CC was on Friday night over at

http://forum.scrapwithv.com.au/

The DT girls set some fantastic challs with lots of distressing & imperfect pics being used. Here's my LOs for the challenges.

Brigette set Chall 1 as a Mini Class & using Main colours OF BROWN, BLUE and ... USE ONLY ONE TYPE OF EMBELLISHMENT of your choice ALLOWED & a quote . I choose to use Cosmo Cricket Elements & my quote reads...a small son can charm himself into and out of most things.

Chall 2 was set by Jodi.
*a photo of someone or something behaving less than perfect!!!!!
*use the words "Chuck'in a Tantie/Tanty"
*some form of distressing
*some kind of punched shape
I used a photo of S drinking out of a Pyrex jug instead of a glass!! DISGUSTING BOY...

Kylie's Blind Chall was so much fun & right up my alley! Lots of distressing & paint!!
Used a blurry pic from the Pink concert.

& Chall 4 was Taryn's sketch, just love it, such a nice sketch to use.

More tomorrow.

Scrapper of Oz Comp

Round 3 from the Scrapper of Oz @

http://www.scrapz.biz/CHATZONEZ

What a interesting chall this week was...

- show us the chore you / or someone else despise the most

- your title has to follow the following pattern "pat, pat, pat" (the verb repeated three times just like in the second video clip)

- you must use distressing techniques to symbolize your dislike of your chosen chore

- you must include a red flower to represent the field of poppies

and white ribbon or string to represent the snow somewhere on your page.

Here's what I ended up with...

My journalling reads...

'Washing...Washing...Washing...its the never ending chore & don't even mention the folding!'
