Another one bites the dust
finished the SBO challenge for this week….I drew a blank with this one, couldn’t think of anything different. we had to make a wrapping for a present and a tag but it had to something original and attractive. what a week to lose your mojo right? but Mum to the rescue…she came up with an idea of the flax basket and showed me how to make it. then I added my own touches (with more Mum help lol) and added a couple of pressies that 
Mum brought yesterday (one that’s apparently Katie’s pressie to me lol)
the tag I just love, it was sort of Tim Holtz inspired I used Falala PP, grungboard key, a felt heart, a shrink plastic heart stamped with a Christmas stamp some flat and a bit of gold metallic rubon. it came out really well considering I didn’t even really have a plan going into it lol. it was a case of try it and hope it works. I did discover that if I cover the back of some felt with an adhesive sheet before I put it through the cuttlebug it cuts a lot easier than just plain felt, and it take the hassle of sticking it down too. It was pure fluke that the felt and the rubon matched so well.
all in all I am very pleased with how it turned out. and now…..its that time of day again….time to be Mum instead of rely on Mum lol…have a good night all.
history making day
Politics are very hard to ignore no matter how hard you try but today is a big day in history with O’Bama being elected president of the US. I wonder what big changes this will bring, hopefully a lot more positive than what Bush has done.
It will be interesting to see what happens in our own politics this weekend. Here’s hoping we don’t face 3 years of John Keys, honestly that guy scares me, bad things will happen if he gets in, I just know it. The man is not to be trusted. When you get right down to it, no politician is to be trusted lol but there is something about that man, he’s devious and he lies.
anyway enough of the politics, it depresses me. on a happy note. look what I got in the mail today. the Prima Paintables Class kit from Nic Howard. and it is awesome! I am tempted to put it away until all these challenges are finished but reality is I wont be able to resit lol. I get to colour in lol.
All these challenges going on are really great, so far the biggest challenge is the one from Scrapbox doing a layout for less than $10. I have never tried to price out a layout before. But I am sort of prepared, I even cleaned my scrapbook room up. I have ordered a Storybook cricut cartridge from Scrapbooking by Design as an early Christmas present for myself.
anyway time to go get this girl in the bath and off to bed. I am sore and tired today so might have an early night.
have a good night all
