Something old is new again....

Remember these frames from the 90's?

They look so tired and dated so I thought I would give them a bit of a revamp.

Am very pleased with the results. I have another one to do but that will have  to wait for now.
Well thats one thing of my to do list. Still got heaps more to do.

Bounce, bounce, bounce

Easter was such a busy time for me I ended up having no time to scrap so I didn't get CSI 13 done by their deadline. I am going to share it anyway.

This is Michael when he was about 3. We were at his Uncle Bruces place in Byford. Michael just loved the trampoline - look at his big smile.
I have joined a camera club and been practicing with my DSLR. I took this photo on Manuel and another on auto and this is the first time the manual one came out better. I think I am finally getting there!!!!
Anyways its holiday time for me for the next couple of weeks, so I hope to catch up on some of these  unfinished projects I have got lying around here.

CSI 12

Yet another busy week but I have managed this weeks challenge over at CSI. We were given a monochrome pallette which I thought would be so easy, but it wasn't. Anyway I ended up doing a very simple LO of my Mum on her wedding day.

There is a hidden journaling behind the photo talking about this being the beginning of a very eventful life.
Only 4 days 'til Easter and the beginning of holidays for me Yay!!!
Have a good week :)

What a busy busy week

These lasts 2 weeks have been super busy and I missed out on doing the CSI 10 challenge but I have just managed to scrape in this week.
CSI 11

I

I have Scrapped some old photos of the kids taken in 1997 and talked about how I liked climbing trees when I was little and then I took my kids to the local park to climb trees.

Enjoy your week and hopefully things have calmed down now and I wont be so rushed next time.

CSI 9

http://csicolorstoriesinspiration.ning.com/ Here is my LO for this weeks case. I am so pleased with this photo that Jane took (Thanks Jane) We all look so happy even Michael has joined in and I now have a photo of his face. Maybe it was because I'm not taking the photo or maybe he is finally starting to manage his condition. Either way I love this photo and had fun scrapping it.
Have a great week and hope to post here next Sunday.

March tag

http://timholtz.typepad.com/my_weblog/2012/03/12-tags-of-2012-march.html

Here is my version of Tim's March tag. He showed us how to make mosaics. It was really easy. I have used a different BG as I don't have a wood grain stamp and I used a cuttlebug butterfly. I didn't have any metal flowers so i made this one using the tattered flower die and glossy accents.

CSI 8

some of you will be aware that my sister-in-law Lucy got married at my place in January. I just got the pics from Jane (Lucy's sister) and thought these 3 would be perfect for this weeks challenge at http://csicolorstoriesinspiration.ning.com/. I also checked  out http://showusyourstuff.blogspot.com.au/ and used their latest technique using texture paste and string.

The light blue outline behind the photos is a star made using texture paste and string. I have then gone and covered most of it.
I had a lot of fun playing with this one. I have used texture paste with stamps and paint and glimmer mist and, and ....... (I think I might have got a bit carried away) Anyway I love how it turned out and I think it reflects Lucy quite well with her love of art and pretty things.
I am sure there will be more wedding photos featured in the coming weeks. Thanks for the great photos Jane. I hope you like the LO Lucy and hope you and Tony don't mind being featured in it.
