OK its time :)



Hi there,
I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. You are not going to believe this, our little town is on flood alert again today, we are expected to flood for the 3rd time in 5 months. Its just too much. None of the shops or homes have had a chance to get anywhere near fixed up after the really bad flood a few weeks ago, and here we are facing it all over again. Enough is enough !!!

On a lighter note though, our '5 kilo scrappers challenge' starts tomorrow. Its very exciting, and we have quite a few people who are joining in. Theres some great prizes to be won, so if you think you might benefit from losing 5 kg, then its not too late to join in, just follow the link to the blog, and we explain what you need to do :). Just a little edit to this post as I forgot to post my photo of the scales for the '5 kilos scrappers challenge' I took the photo the morning of the 7th, then forgot about it... duhhhh !!!! OK, so here it is folks, complet with 'ratty' looking nail posish LOL !!!! heres my updated post for the first week :) I mucked up Mr Linky. duhh week 1 weight loss





The latest issue of 'australian scrapbook ideas' is on sale now. My very first design team feature is in there. Its all very exciting. I would show you the layouts I did, accept, in my haste to get the work sent off a few months ago, I forgot to take any photo's of it.. Duhhh !!!

OK, now for a little share. It was my week for blogging at Kaisercraft this week. We showcased the 2 latest collections for February. Call in to the BLOG to see the full ranges, and to see what the amazingly talented Nerrida and Trudi ( oh and ME) have done with these collections. Today I want to show you a layout and a card I did using the 'Magic happens' range.


And a card

Thankyou so much for calling in, and for all the wonderful comments you leave. I love to read them, have a wonderful week,

  3. Rain, Rain go away - sorry to hear about the water's rising again and your town being once again threatened with flooding. It's heartbreaking when it happens at all, but then to have it occur so often of late well... words fail me really.

    Absolutely adore your layout and card Karen - you certainly worked so scrapping magic with this collection
