Yikes!!! Nearly November already???!!!

I seriously am having a hard time dealing with how fast time is ripping by!  I cannot believe it almost November already and as of yesterday (25th) there are two months until Christmas.

I thought I'd take a few minutes this morning to upload the LO's I have made this month before October is gone!

Using Ooh La Lollipop, the gorgeous Team Collab by the amazing gals at Digiridoo (this can still be yours free with any purchase from the shop until the end of the month, so hurry!!!  I also used the fabulous template by Color with Caryn for the October Template Challenge at Digiridoo.

I have used Boys in my Backyard by Stacy's Backdoor Designs, and also one of Stacy's Triple Threat Templates.

My lift for the October Scraplift Challenge, based on Tine's LO Fall.
My 3 year old daughter has more shoes than I do and these are the latest and favourite in her collection!
Digital supplies from the Messy Girl Collab by Designs by Sweet Mesquite and Berry Sweet Designs.

I used the stunning Happiness by Designs by Angie and the Creative Juice No.23 Template by Biograffiti.

My LO for the October Font Challenge.

I made LOTD at Scrappity-Doo-Dah!!

I was absolutely tickled pink to have received the Layout of the Day at Scrappity-Doo-Dah on the 29th of August with my Sweet Baby Blue LO using Feli's beautiful Blue Like That kit.
Thanks to Caits and Darlene for the inspiration, as I made this LO for the August Scraplift Challenge at Digiridoo.
Here is the LO again:

And I get a special blinky to wear with pride!

I actually managed a LO!

What a cold, wet, windy and miserable month it has been!
I have had three out of four kids sick over the last three weeks, including Jeremy with his first chest infection and first course of antibiotics.  It has been so exhausting, yet nothing stops, so I feel like I haven't done anything for the month.
But tonight I actually scrapped a LO using the beautiful Summer Skies by Katie of Key of D Designs, available at Digiridoo Scraps.  This is Katie's graduation kit, so a big congratulations to Katie for completing the apprenticeship program!

Katie is also offering a gorgeous add on as a freebie, so be sure to check out her shop!

Here is a LO I did with it, also using her Solo Shot Template set:

Thanks for looking!

Blue Like That - new kit by Feli

Congratulations to our very own Feli, who has released this beautiful kit Blue Like That as her graduation kit from the Apprenticeship Program at Digiridoo!

Check out the bundle you can get here:

Here is a LO I did using it for the August Scraplift Challenge at Digiridoo:

Testing, testing

Trying to see if I've got the blog to link to facebook!!!!

CT call for LDrag Designs!

Woo hoo!  Check it out!  You still have time to get your applications in!
I was lucky enough to work with Lina at Digiridoo and now I work with her beautiful kits with hybrid projects.
Here are a couple of examples of my work with Lina's fabulous kits:

Don't get a shock!!

Cough, cough....it sure is dusty in here - 8 months since I've posted anything!!!!

I have updated my blog's look with the beautiful New Beginnings kit and blogwear by LiseteScrap.  I thought it was the right kit to use with the new beginning of my blog!   I have updated all the information on my blog - new slide show with my LO's so far for 2010, Digiridoo Scraps Blogroll, other sites and blogs I visit plus stamping sites.

I lost my mojo for a while there, then I had another baby!  We were very happy to welcome Jeremy to our family on the 14th of April 2010.

So life is pretty crazy and wonderful with four kids!

From a creative point of view, I am on the creative and hybrid team for Digiridoo Scraps, and I also do hybrid for LDrag Designs.  I am so lucky to be able to work with these amazingly talented people!!!

My goal is to blog at least once a week, but I'm hoping to do a bit more than that as time goes on.  So thanks to my patient followers - I hope no one gets too much of a shock when they get the feed of this LOL!!!

But for now, here is my fabulous family in July of 2010...
