Layouts

I was feeling scrappy today and managed to squeeze in two more challenge LO for this month.  I This month's challenge at Kraft It Up was a sketch.

 

 

I also managed to scrap the a LO for D'Lish Scraps using the inspiration bood.  I liked the sketch, but decided to use the colours for my inspiration.

 

 

Layout

I scrapped this layout last week, but with all the socialising I forgot to post it :)  I decided to scrap a layout for White With 1 challenge - white + green. 

A catch up

It's been a crazy, busy few days - so thought I would quickly catch up :)

 

Sunday we got up early (no hangovers - woo hoo!) and headed to Cathie & Andrew's for  brunch with Kylie & Mick and their bridal party.  It was lovely to chat about the wedding.   

 

Sunday night Craig & I went out to dinner to catch up with our friend Matt.  It's been month's since he's visited from Canberra, so was wonderful to catch up :)

 

 

Craig is in Brisbane for 4 days doing some training this week.  Today is our 14th wedding anniversary - he had this beautiful bouquet of flowers and a balloon delivered to work  <3 p="">

Kylie & Mick's wedding

 

Yesterday was Kylie & Mick's wedding!  The weather was perfect and the ceremony was beaufiful. 

The happy couple

 

 

The bridal party

 

 

After the ceremony the bridal party went off to take photos, so  had some drinks and finger food.  Cathie, Kylie, Amanda & I enjoying some champers

 

When the bridal party arrived, we headed upstairs to the reception.  The reception

 

Table settings - Kylie designed and created these.  Amanda and I may have taken some of them home ;)

The wedding cake.  How awesome is the cake topper!  The cake was a Bailey's mud cake - delicious!

Wishing Well (Kylie & Mick made that too) and guest book

 

 

We (Cathie, Amanda, myself and husbands) were seated at the same table.  We had an amazing night - lots of laughing and chatting, enjoying the meal, lots of wine :)  and then dancing the night away!  We were the last ones to leave!!

 

Stitched cards

I am loving the Amy Tangerine stitching templates - there has been lots of stitching appearing on my recent layouts :)  I knew the feather and camera would be ;perfect for some notecards.  I stitched the blue feather and camera cards first, then decided to try an ombre effect - love how that turned out!!

Pink gerberas and some beading

Another lovely weekend :)  Saturday I was surprised with my favourite flowers "just because" :)

 

 

Dinner with my handsome hubby, mum & Mike and family friends.

 

Sunday mum came over and we spent the morning making beaded lanyards ready for the cuise (we both broke our last lanyards after the cruise last year).  It was beautiful weather, so we set up on the table out the back.  My beaded lanyard ended up being more like a necklace than a lanyard, so i will have to look around for some more smaller beads.

Thrfty storage

Lately I have been buying a few thrifty items to use for storage in my scrap room, but don't share pics of how I am using them :)

The stand I brought last week is the perfect size to hold my spritzer bottles and I used the sugar dispenser to hold y plain string.

 

I was going to use the pink bowl in the kitchen, but thought it would be cuter to store my washi tape (I quickly ran out of room on my washi tape stand that Herb made me - I have an addiction LOL) and the blue basket is a good size to hold my spare adhesives.

Layouts

 

I went to Simply Crafty yesterday - there was only a small group of us, but still a really lovely day spent catching up and scrapping :)  I got 3 layouts scrapped (I just added some finishing touches today). 
 



 

 

Kyie's hens night

Only 2 more weeks till Kylie & Mick's wedding!  Kylie had her hen's night on Saturday night - dinner at a local sports club with friends.  We enjoyed a delicious dinner, chatted about all things wedding and drank bubbly :)  After the meal, we headed into the entertainment lounge to have some cocktails, do a bit of dancing and more chatting.  It was a great night and I didn't get home till midnight!

 



 

 

 

Car washi tape card

I've been wanting to make this card ever since I brought the skyline die a few months ago, then when I brought the car washi tape I knew I had everything I needed to make it :)

 

Happy mail

I recieved some happy mail yesterday :)  The lovely Dee generously sent me some scrabble tiles, so I could have a go at making pendants with them.   Look how beautifully she wrapped them - stunning!!
