2 Angels sleeping layouts

As one of the Top 50 sponsors, I had the pleasure of co hosting last months Cyber Crop. It was heaps of fun and for this months Christmas in Jully CC one of the challenges is a blog hopping challenge. So to explain why I might mention something a bit out of the ordinary in this post, it may well be a clue for the blog hoppers :) And it isn't me 'just being my usual duuuuuurrrrrrhhhhh self ;) or is it????

Okay for some scrapbooking - this first layout is based on a sketch at the Scraplounge for July.

I have úsed heaps of our flowers

white scroll felt star

rhinestone words - sweet and dream (adding an s from other words I have)

silver, dark green & purple rhinestones

silver glitter brads

purple rhinestuds

purple crystal brads

green felt scroll ribbon

Buzz and Bloom acrylic house

and the following charms: butterfly, daisy flower, dragonfly and mushroom.

The Buzz and Bloom chipboard flower flourishes which I inked, applied dimensional magic and put DM and Kindy Glitz

The fence I made with chipboard, painted it green, applied crackle then covered it with white paint.  I found some soft wire which I threaded with our 13" clear beads.

I haven't been as scraphappy, as I could have been, while missing in action but I do have one more layout I did last month, don't think I have shown you. It was for the June CC at the Top 50,but didn't submit as it didn't turn out how I wanted. Same theme & style layout as above just a different angel skeeping. Whose blog? Where?





I do have 1 more layout to share but I haven't resized it etc so it can wait for another day. Blog what blog whose blog?

Ooooo my favourite programme is on now - How I met your mother - must dash

Damm dog ate my layouts

Considering I don't have a dog or (sorry) I don't even like dogs but I don't have any other excuse for nothing to show and tell today. Definitely will have a couple completed in the next day or two to show you.
What I do have to share is this clip from youtube the angels showed me. I just love the facial expressions and his accent!



I will be back promise!!!!
Tracy :)

There's a mouse in my lunchbox

I don't even have an excuse for why i haven't blogged lately, I can't even tell you what I have been doing, all I can do is blame it on the school holidays!

I have only 1 layout to share with you. It is for the Ebony & Ivory Challenge over at RSS where you had to use black, green and pink. The Rose Moka paper was perfect for this challenge and I just looooooooovvvvvvvveeeeeee the RM paper range. We also had to have rhinestones, buttons and chipboard.

First I need to explain what the ... am I scrapbooking sandwiches for! Well I have a habit of when making the angels lunches I take a bite out of the sandwich - well it always looks so yummy and I have to have something in my stomach before the day is full of consuming lots and lots of coffee! And I use to always take a bite out of my EX husbands lunch and my now BF when I make him lunch - not bloody often now he is ugly and old enough to do it himself!) So I decided to scrap this habit / tradition.

I have used our zig zag felt frame and as required buttons on the chipboard title which I painted and crackled, rhinestone eyes on the rat and 1 photo.

I had heaps of fun with this layout, so here it is with a few close ups.






Have fun creating
Tracy :)

PS Should have a restock of Buzz and Bloom & Glimmer Mist by the end of next week yipee

Musical Themed Ribbon Storage Box

Musical themed Ribbon Storage Box is my entry in the Top 50 combo challenge. For this month it's a musical theme and you must have the word music in your title. So on my little tag is

Life without music would be a mistake ... Friedrich Nietzsohe and then I added so would scrapbooking without ribbon.

I am a serious ribbon hoarder and have 3 more to boxes to make up to house my ribbons and that doesn't include all the odds and odds in a jar on my table - told you serious hoarder!!!



I used the cuttlebug on the pink cardstock for texture. Used our black scrolls, flowers, black buckle, black and white hearts ribbon, pink organza ribbon, white felt heart and muscial note, butterfly and made with love envelope charms. The lace I sprayed with granite glimmer mist. Oh and the musical paper, sprayed with Pink taffy Glimmer Mist I downloaded from the internet. I have keep it as a word document on my computer for future use. Click here to down load it

And here are some close ups ...






Oh I know I haven't given enough detail on what I did or how I did something, I always get an email from someone, asking how I did something! Sorry but time is limited today, everyone is busy so I have a quiet downstairs to work in and I feel like scrapping after I have blog hopped, which is a serious addiction that I need to control.

Have a fantastic weekend everyone

Tracy

and I will leave you with this. Words for Women to Live By :)


1. Aspire to be Barbie - the bitch has everything.

2. If the shoe fits - buy them in every colour.

3. Take life with a pinch of salt... A wedge of lime, and a shot of tequila.

4. In need of a support group? - Cocktail hour with the girls!

5. Go on the 30 day diet. (I'm on it and so far I've lost 15 days).

6. When life gets you down - just put on your big girl panties and deal with it.

7. Let your greatest fear be that there is no PMS and this is just your personality.

8. I know I'm in my own little world, but it's ok. They know me here.

9. Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.

10. Don't get your knickers in a knot; it solves nothing and makes you walk funny.

11. When life gives you lemons in 2009 - turn it into lemonade then ! mix it with vodka.

12. Remember where ever there is a good looking; sweet, single or married man there is some woman tired of his bullshit!

13. Keep your chin up, only the first 40 years of parenthood are the hardest.

14. If it has Tires or Testicles it's gonna give you trouble.

15. By the time a women realizes her mother was right, she has a daughter who thinks she's wrong.

'Good friends are like stars.........You don't always see them, but you know they are always there' 'Remember yesterday, dream about tomorrow, but live for today'. Now smile,copy & paste this and send to any girl wasting time at work, suffering from a hangover, or just suffering from life , that might need a reason to smile!

What??? It's been a week ...

since I last blogged OMG how bad am I??? Okay I do have excuses, its nearly EOFY so I have been doing my accounts, but I have been even badder (is that such a word?) I have only done about 1/4 of them so I have heaps to do but I have to be honest and admit, every excuse I can find to avoid doing them I have used it. Only to myself of course, since I work on my own .. which is probably worse! Yeah but you can imagine it ah? bit like the arguments you have in your head when scrapbook shopping ... I really shouldn't but I will, no I can't I have others I can use ... Oh know I have just realised it's my fault, my DS uses every excuse when it comes to doing his homework and tidying his room - it's in my genes, I've passed it on ... its my fault .. no it's not I'll blame my mother!

Okay that's the boring bit done, now for the cool stuff ...

New products arrived today ...



They all have a little friend at my2angels just waiting to be accesorised with ...
wedding with our gold or silver horsehoe charm
friends with our friends charms or girlfriends / mates ribbon
skulls with our skulls and cross bones charms

and our angel with our angel charms.

Oh look here is a layout I did earlier with the angels word ...




Oh and guess what you know that layout in last weeks posting, celebrate, I won that CC Challenge woo hoo. Funny though it took me about 3 hours to complete ... a record these days. My average completion time is 4-5 days per layout hence why I haven't joined in with so many CC's lately. I have decided to concentrate on the monthly challenges, giving me just a bit more time to get other stuff done, you know like anything but accounts!

OMG speaking of DS, yes I know it was a few paragraphs back, I went to get my suppliers today at the bottle shop. Now I can't stand the cold, so I quickly ran into the freezer and pointed to Mark which wine I wanted and he got it for me (he doesn't feel the cold, must be the Irish in him) anyway he took it up to the counter for me and they told me in future he is not allowed to touch / carry etc the alcohol or they will be fined! Oh for crying out loud have these idiots up in parliament / government / these bloody political correct twits gone mad!!! Don't they realise the more you hid stuff from kids they more likely they are going to try it. And what difference does it make when I leave the shop and hand him the bag with the OMG wine inside it to carry to the car cause I have to get my lucky lotto ticket number for the $90 million draw tomorrow night and its too bloody awkward to get my money and winners circle card out while carrying the wine and shopping - I mean far out!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for listening I feel much better now that's out.

14 days left of the school holidays and counting down ...

Till next time

Tracy

We have a winner and 1 layout to share

I have no idea if I have mentioned this before, but I am having a random draw ... so random I have no idea when I am going to do it but when I do one person who has submitted a layout to my gallery will receive a small thank you from me for sharing their creations. So this month, day, year or whenever is Amandaj73. Yes she has uploaded lots of her work using my2angels products to the gallery BUT it was a random draw so Amanda expect a little something from me in the post :)

I have one layout to share today, it was for a challenge at the Scraplounge CC last weekend. We weren't allowed to use cardstock - OMG I am just getting the hand of having clusters on my layouts let alone all the background to be in pp. Also in the title we had to have the word celebrate and it must be of a birthday.

They later change the rules and could be any celebration as people didn't have any to scap ... HELLO over here ... I think I have done 3 birthday layouts, which is pretty bad odds considering the angels have had 22 in total between them. Oh and 2 of the layouts for birthdays were mine. Let me know if any challenges or CC for birthdays are coming up, I will have just the photos for them PML

Here is Sarahs 10th birthday last month. I know, I can't even start from the beginning!


Love this LYB pattern papers. Used our black skeleton leaves and the title Celebrate is using the Rusty Pickle Stickers, damm can't think off hand the name but you can see them over in our stickers section.

Okay time for bed
Have a good night / day everyone
Tracy :)

PS Thanks mum for the dollies, which I sprayed with Pearl Glimmer Mist :) and big thanks Lexie for offering to get me some. Mum brought some over on Sunday which I quickly claimed as mine, whoops too bad if she wanted some LOL oh well she knows where they are!

2 layouts to share with you today

2 layouts to share with you today using our new flowers.

The first one, based on the June Sketch at the Scraplounge, of my sister and I (10 kilos lighter boo hoo) using our while scalloped felt frame which I sprayed with Sea Glass Glimmer Mist, delicious pink paislee pattern paper, forever tag charm, glitter brads, fabric plaid brad, brown chain, white tags, gold key, silver scroll flourish and our ric rac. Also I added our brown skeleton leaves.




I just love this photo, it was taken on Marks first week of school so long ago. Oh those where the days without the hormones and playstation 3!!!!
I have used the gorgeous pink pasilee pps again, pink butterfly felt ribbon, frangipanis, silver flourish, kindy glitz, pink glitter brads and the making memories poolside alpha letters. Unknown origin of the large chipboard letters. Tucked underneath the circle is tuelle which has been sprayed with glimmer mist.




And here is a video clip from you tube to make you smile. I bet many of the bystanders missed their train but most importantly went onto have a great day as as result of being witnessed to this.



I hope you are smiling now :)
Tracy
