Its Saturday ...

and the holidays are just about over.  Today was the first day of the womens softball season and we played a lightening carnival to start with - three games in very steamy weather.  I must say Im feeling every second of my 38 years - with an injury to the top of my hamstring and a twinge in my shoulder - ah sport - its good that your back :o)

I have a few shares tonight from S&C Uploads and a very cool (ongoing) challenge at Aussie. 

S&C's weekly challenge was all about Clusters.  I got to work with the very yummy SR Grafton range - very nice.  Ive had an ongoing love affair with clusters for the past 8 months or so and really cant get enough of this funky way to embellish a LO.  You can keep it as simple or OTT as you want.  Love the end result.

 

Aussie have just posted a new challenge for the DT - kind of like a photo swap with a twist ... we each chose two other DT'ers and swapped photos with the instruction that we would scrap said photos in that DT'ers own style ... does that make sense?? Anyway - My photo was first up and I was 'lifted' by both Donna Wild and Chris Millar.  Below is the result ... Its funny to see my photo scrapped by others but in 'my style' - you can read here to see what both Donna and Chris thought of the challenge.

( sorry this is so little but its the screen shot from the Aussie site.)

and a close up of my own LO ...

Im very proud of myself and my journaling of late - its not rocket science I know but Im trying very hard to journal more from the heart without being OTT - Im getting there :o)

 

and I finally got to swap email addresses with this VERY INSPIRATIONAL CHICKY she is amazing - we met at the recent S&C retreat and I was literally blown away by her work - I especially loved how she made each class example an inspiration to create a LO that, while based on the example was totally original in design etc ... such a talent

Well I think thats it ... I have to go and ice my hammy (and eat apple pie and cream - gotta love comfort food *grin*)

be safe and be well :o)

Thanks for the link chooky, I really enjoyed meeting you too and it's just so lovely to sit with a brain like yours for a while and absorb some of your talent. I love how you put everything together on your Lo's - you are a fabulous cluster-maker! lol
