LCA week 6 entry :)

This is my entry for the last challenge for the Lights Camera Action comp over at CIS :D This weeks poster for inspiration was pirates of the carribean......once I had finished drooling all over Johnny Depp (LOL) I went full throttle on the inks,paints and distressing and am sooooo pleased with how the LO turned out!Ive had this pic of Josh with his pet Lizards Rocky and Betty for ages and this seemed like the perfect excuse to scrap it.......the quote I chose to use for the LO was "Not all treasure is silver and gold" which is perfect for Josh and his beloved little mates who are now gone :( He will always remember these too..... I think Josh will love the LO :)

My lappy is off to visit the repair guy AGAIN *insert rolling eyes here* because it now wont let me watch DVD's or download picasa......its got me stumped and the repair guy cant work out why just by me expaining it so he needs to have it.....hopefully only for the afternoon.

Oh and before I forget I went in search of my photoshop software last night and its gone :( ......dont even ask how it makes me so mad.....so off I went in search of some free software I could use for my sketches,photo editing and to have a little play with and came across the free software GIMP it is alot like photoshop and Ive been having some fun fooling around with it last night and woohoo can use brushes with it too :D

Okies better go......I was considering wandering down to the shops to get some bits and bobs but its raining so Im going to make some PJ bottoms for Lyns and Morgan instead :D

Have a nice Monday lovelies!

Krissy xx

Quick share

This is my LO using another of Liz Webers fabulous sketches and is totally inspired by the fandabbydosey work of Stacey Young......Stace im a huge fan....but you already know that lol Its the second one with lots of paint and distressing this week.......I cant share the other one til Monday so watch this space :)

A colour combo challenge at the cc at scrapboutique......mine was red,cream and rubons.....rubons!I had to dig through my stash to find some LOL I hardly ever use them anymore, I gave most of them to the kids Josh loves them :)

Little close up :D

Thats about it for today Im feeling a wee bit bleh :( .......might blast some music and tidy my scrap room that might cheer me up......if that fails Ive got a turkish delight in the fridge ;)

Thanks for visiting lovelies :)

Congratulations Adam and Mel :)

We went to the gorgeous wedding of Al's xbox buddy Ad's to Mel on Saturday :) It was such a beautiful day :D

I dont know why but I dont think this photo looks like me LOL maybe its because someone else took it instead of me doing the old "hold it out as far as you can and hit the button trick"PMSL

Can this view from our hotel room get any more beautiful??I think not......it was stunning :)

Thats more like it!

We had a fandabbydosey time.....it was so nice to have some time on our own away from it all......we met some really nice people,had a few drinks,ate some awesome food and loved every minute of it :D Thanks for a fab weekend bub, love you *mwah*

This is my LO from last weeks LCA challenge at CIS :) the theme was romance so I had to do some of our wedding pics :) The rose on my LO is my pathetic attempt at trying to do the gorgeous paper flowers on Nicole Aspinalls blog.......I couldnt do it as well as she did but I'll keep trying lol Thanks for the fab tutorial Nicole!

Oh my I am happy dancing like Ive never happy danced before!!Check out all these goodies I got in my stars of scrap prize pack!!!Yay woohoo!!Thanks so much to Victoria from http://www.scrapbookingtop50.com.au/ I love it!!

Oooh nice uggies on the bottom of the pic LOL oops!

As many of you know I lived in Belfast Northern Ireland until I was 8 and we moved to Australia to live and we have always had a fascination with the awesome wildlife in this country :D Well last night when I was getting ready to head home we heard a bang on the back verandah and when Dad went out to investigate we discovered this beautiful brush tail possum out there having a little sticky beak lol!It was so cool I couldnt resist snapping away :)

Hand feeding this little sweetie

Look how chuffed my Dad is :D He is a major animal lover (thats where I get it from lol) He was getting ready to catch the grapes again lol

I love this one....he/she is looking straight at me like Ïm ready for my close up"PMSL!!
This is my LO for this weeks LCA at CIS the inspiration was a pinochio poster :D I couldnt resist using these pics of Josh at about 18months helping himself to a drink straight from the carton LOL and the quote ïm a real boy"was perfect LOL!!Im loving these animal stamps at the moment so they are everywhere lol






Its my turn to teach this month at Wicked Princesses!!I will be teaching you how to do these cards using the fabulous June kit with all its yummy goodies oh yay love Marrakech so much :D So if you are interested in joining in please head on over to WP and pick up your kit and meet me in the classroom on the 15th of June :D

Lyns,Morgan ,Mum and I headed into the city for the scrapbook show on saturday (im so sorry Tanya I forgot my camera :( oops) OMG it was INSANELY busy!!!I was gobsmacked!!Poor little Morgan was a tad upset by some people wearing masks for the swine flu (dont even get me started on that one ) and to be honest I was a wee bit shocked at how rude and aggressive women can be :-O We took the stroller so Morgan could be comfy and the amount of tuts and dirty looks when I asked ëxcuse me,sorry"when just trying to move forward was ridiculous......seriously people manners are free!!!I think next year I'll go in on the Friday instead of the saturday.......we checked out the lifeline bookfest too and I scored a few bargains to use as ephemera for my scrapping ;-)

I got back late last night and slept like a dog after worrying about Lucy (our family dog we got when I was 17) i woke up friday morning and she was gone :( which isnt like her at all but the builders next door have been using a nail gun and she is terrified of loud noises.....I walked the neighbourhood calling and calling her and she was no where to be found :( Lyns,Morgan and I drove around looking too but still nothing :( I cried like a baby when dinner time came around because I thought she wouldve come back and was stressing she would be hungry (even though she is a total porker and missing one dinner wouldnt hurt lol) we called the council and left our details,and then on saturday the council website said it had a terrier X,black and tan,female,no collar(she took it off the night before :-O) and found on friday so we thought yay its Lucy!!But after calling the council found out their offices where closed until tuesday.......and then yesterday we where all sitting around having cuppas in the morning and Dad went to go out the front and get the paper and guess who was on the front verandah?.....yep you guessed it Lucy lou grinning from ear to furry ear, bathed and a more tired than I have ever seen her LOL!!As for where she has been and who bathed her I have no idea!!Happy days!!

Im off to play with the goodies in my pack!

Have a fab day everyone!
