X is for fox?

ok so I tried and tried and tried to find a picture of an x-ray fish, but I swear there is nothing out there, so I cheated and just decided to use a word with X in it, so for now X is for foX hahaha. Hey well in the For Keeps mag all the X layouts were words with X rather then starting with X.

Anyway I am quite happy with it, the chipboard letter didn't turn out great, note to self, never use crappy glue to put paper on chipboard if you are going to then cover it with Dimentional Magic, paper must be stuck to surface entirely LMAO

I'm starting to get excited, less then a week till we are in Sydney. The boys keep looking up when they hear a plane over head and if it is a Virgin Blue plane they yell "there's our plane" lol (for those who don't know Virgin Blue planes are red, it confused the boys the last time we went on one and someone asked if they went on Virgin Blue and they sdaid "no the red plane" LMAO.

A layout...

I was inspired by those tailored tab things when making this layout, I was so tempted to buy some when I was cropping yesterday but I wanted to have lunch and then wouldn't have enough for the tabs, so I decided to make my own using ribbon, I think they came out pretty good if I do say so myself hahaha. I also used Dimentional Magic for the first time, man thats pretty stuff hahaha.

As of next Sunday we will be in Sydney, ok so not for long, only until the 9th, but still it will be great to visit my family again, they boys are both very excited...

Um yeah, cant think of a title

still feeling a bit meh, had no kids today as they were both at Preschool and Kindy which was nice, but I was so utterly bored out of my mind. I couldn't even sleep, I layed down in bed at 1.30ish thinking of getting in an hour before picking the boys up but I felt really dizzy and everytime I closed my eyes it felt like I was falling which made me want to be sick. I have felt like that ever since (I was worried as I was walking up to school that I might fall over but I didn't hehehe).
I have decided I am going to go to Scrap That tomorrow as they have a free crop thing going on, so hopefully that will get me out of the ditch I am in. I did manage to fix a layout last night that I had stuffed up, I was doing a double in 8.5x11 but accidently cut one piece of cardstock 7.5x11 but didn't realise until I had finished. I guess it could have been worse, it could have been cut 9.5x11 which would have been bad as there are chipboard letters across the whole width of both pages, there is no way I could have cropped an inch off it. I will post the finished layout ASAP, Garry needs to re-install the scanner though so will be tomorrow night at the earliest...

meh

I don't know why I am feeling so crappy lately, I have just been tired and lacking in motivation to do anything, I don't feel like doing anything around the house, I don't want to go anywhere, I don't want to scrap, I don't even want to go on the computer really, I just want to lie in bed and sleep all day (not that I get to do that but I would like to lol). Maybe it is just the horrible weather we are having lately, it has been so stuffy, its just been building up and up and today it finally broke and decided to rain, but it hasn't really made it any better really.
Anyway just needed to bitch about feeling crap lol.
(and yes I do realise that there were only 9 layouts in my post yesterday hahaha)...

10 favourite layouts

Ali gave us a challenge to post our 10 favourite layouts that we have created, and seeing as my life is boring and I have nothing to write about I figured that it would be a good thing to post hahaha. so here they are...

M is for Moose

Another A-Z layout, even though this layout is rather plain I think it looks great, the scan doesn't do it justice, in real life you can see all the texture in the paint from when I peeled the mesh off after painting it, I came across the idea by accident when I was painting some mesh to use on another layout and had stuck it to a piece of paper while painting it, when I pulled the mesh off it left this impression of the mesh which I just loved.


Ekka

I really can't pin point what it is I love about this layout, it just really appeals to me, it all just fell together so well.


RiverFire 04

I sort of had this layout planned before I took the photos, but as I was taking the photos I thought it was never going to be. I love this layout becuase I am amased that I actually got the photos to turn out, my trusty little fuji actually handled the distance, even though I did have to use the flash to stop the blur from occuring.


Grateful

A layout for my book of me. I did a bit of experimenting with this, and discovered that if I just hammered my eyelet setting into the paper it cut out a little star shape which I thought was quite cool lol.

Jingle All The Way

not much of a layout, but it was my first ever paper layout, I really think that I did a pretty good job at it too hehehe.


Shannon - 100% boy

Another layout that just seemed to come together all on its own, lots of painting involved in this one, I love getting messy when I scrap hahaha.


Santa 2002

I think this layout is very simple but still draws your eye straight to the photo, other then that I don't know why I love it, I just do hahaha.


Shannon's First Birthday

the first layout I did for my Design Team work at Kirky's Kreations, I am very proud of this layout, I was so worried that I would choke and just make the crappiest stuff every hahaha...


Why you should choose Natasha

My design team entry for Scrapboxx. I didn't win (duh), but I am proud of this because it is the first big thing I have attempted to win, I think the layout looks really good, and I went to extremes to complete it. This is my bra layout. The lace was cut from a bra of mine and stained with tea.


Photogenic

Plain, Simple, Strong Statment, Great Photo, what more can I say. My favourite digital layout.
