Where in earth has this month, this year, gone??? The new Scrapjacked challenge has been up for a while now, have any of you completed a LO yet? Here is my LO for the month, of the most recent addition to our family, my niece Tanika.

I haven't had too much time for scrapping lately but I have made a start on an album about our trip to the US last year using Destinations by Simple Stories. My biggest challenge has been choosing which photos to use. Thanks to the age of digital photography I managed to amass thousands of photos over the three week period. I am doing an album roughly 15cm x 20mm which I will put together with my new toy, a Zutter binder that I picked up for $45 on sale. I've wanted one of these for ages but the price had always put me off but now it is all mine :)

So what have I been doing with my time you ask, well I have been doing a bit of sewing with some great fabrics that I picked up at resource rescue. Here is a sneak peek.

I'll pop back with more photos soon I promise.
Thanks for stopping by.

February Scrapjacked

It's that time again, the new challenge is up over at Scrap Jacked. There are some fantastic prizes up for grabs from our wonderfully generous sponsors so come on over and be inspired by our clever design team.
My LO is of our recent trip to Disneyland and the iconic spinning teacups. Every time I look at this photo I want to go back and do it all again! DH has talked about taking the kids for years, but it wasn't on the top of my travel wish list, however after visiting with my family I have to say that I am smitten. It truly is a magical place.

I am behind schedule I know, but we have been enjoying the school holidays. We had some time away at the lake with the girls swimming and skiing the days away and would you believe, a trip to Mt Bulla to see snow at this time of year????
We had fun catching up with family and had friends up for a day of skiing which got off to a terrible start with the boat not starting and the gusting wind and the rain!!! but thankfully everyone stuck it out and we were rewarded with the afternoon sun. I'll be back soon to share some pics.

And now for some scrapping...... If you haven't already checked out Scrap Jacked for this month inspiration then do it now! 
I have had these Kaisercraft papers in my stash for a little while and they seemed perfect for this LO. This is Darcey looking right at home on the stage at the Hollywood Bowl on our whirlwind tour of LA, and something tells me that it won't be her last time in the spotlight. Unfortunately when we were there the season had only just finished so we weren't able to see a show but it was great to see none the less. Our tour guide was wonderfully entertaining and shared a wealth of knowledge as he pointed out one landmark after another.

I will be waiting to see your take on this or one of our other talented design teams layouts, don't keep me waiting too long!

December Scrap Jacked.

The Scrap Jacked for December is up and once again these talented ladies have blown me away! There is something for everyone, no matter what your own style is. My LO is another photo from our recent holiday. No trip to San Francisco would be complete without a visit to the famous Lombard st, the crookedest street in the world.

Long time no see

No I haven't dropped off the face of the earth lol I have however been traveling to the other side of it. We return from a three week trip to the US just last week and boy did we fit a lot of stuff into that time, I need another holiday to recover from it lol!
I have no excuse now for not scrapping, I think I took a million and one photos. Thank god for digital cameras. I will need to make a few dates with my scrappy girlfriends really soon.

Until I do scrap though I thought I would share a few of my fav moments from the trip. We visited LA, Disneyland (love love loved it!) legoland (amazing) las Vegas (eye opening lol) the Grand Canyon (increrable) and San Francisco (beautiful city).

....and there are so many more.....now I just need to find my scrappy desk again so that I can get scrapping.

How do you scrap when you have heaps of pics? Do you do whole albums of a trip? Do you stick to one style for the entire album or do you do something completely different for each LO? I'd love to see what you have done, please add a link in the comments if you would like to share.

Bye for now
