Fiskateer

Just a quick post tonight. I have just been made a fiskateer, thanks to Rebecca Peck from Fiskars. What a great online community. Have started doing up my bio etc but will have to save most of it until after this weekend as we will be at the eisteddfod all weekend.

Have a really great w/e.

Keep scrapping, Rhonda

Breast Cancer Cards

Have been making Christmas cards in response to Carole Jansons blog where we scrappers supply 3 cards (or more) to be sold and proceeds to Breast Cancer Research. I whole heartedly support this research as breast cancer is not choosy; it does not matter what age or stage of life everyone is at risk. Here is a peak at one of my cards. The second card was made tonight by my 8 years old daughter Dana. She wanted to help out and for a first attempt it is not too bad. She is quite adept with the Sizzix machine and even makes tags out of scrap for the lady who owns the Pot (planters not the drug) Shop here in Wakerston.

Success

Just a quick post. Had the kids solo section at Eisteddfod today. They both did really well and I am proud of them just for getting on the stage and finishing the routine. Kendall was awarded a Highly Commended in his section; not bad for 1st timer. More later,

Time management

I was determined to get some los done yesterday and was actually successful, even if I got tea in between and organised eisteddfod costumes. Kids solos are tomorrow and we have had a practice this morning so hopefully they will remember everything,

Digital scrapping

Just playing around with photoshop and tried a lo digitally. I have never done this before as I like the hands on approach to scrapping but I thought it was worth a share. Have a good weekend.

Eisteddfod fever reaches a high

Had our first run through at the theatre this afternoon. Hopefully the kids performed well for their teachers. We have another run through on Saturday, but the kids get an RDO tomorrow. Hopefully they will rest up a bit (knowing my two I doubt it) and be ready to start again on Saturday. As a consequence my scrapping has taken a back seat but I will get back to it very soon.

Here is a lo I did a little while ago using an overlay. I stamped both on and under the overlay to add a little more to the background. simple but effective!!
