Happy Halloween

No Halloween activities happening here (wee bit hard to go "trick or treating" when you live on a farm LOL) but thought I'd acknowledge the day anyway. Our Diva Challenge for October (which has been extended to November) is a Halloween theme LO ... neither me or my kids have been involved in anything Halloween but I have some cute fabric with little ghosts on it so I have plans to use that somehow ...

Here's my creations from last weekend's CC over at Scrapbook Divas ...



This is DD's page for the Kids Challenge which she won! So I have one very pleased young scrapper here today.


And this is, yes, a bra ... a scrapped bra! Another challenge over the w/end at Divas as we were acknowledging Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Pink Ribbon day.

Scrap Share

This is for the October Sketch Challenge at Divas. Found some pics from last Christmas I had forgotten to scrap.


This LO uses all products (except the c/s) from the October Divalicious Kit at Divas. It's such a beautiful kit, great variety and this LO actually came together very easily. I plan on doing lots more because there was heaps of stuff in it. Cant wait for next month's kit - make sure you check out the Divas shop here for the November kits coming soon.


These LO's above and below are from Mystical Scrapbooks October Sketch challenge - I had 2 pics of each of the kids with their Easter dippy eggs so I did 2 LO's using the same sketch - clever huh? I also used Fancy Pants d/s papers from the "Celebrate" range.

You have until midnight Friday 31st October to leave me some love on any October post here on my blog to be in the draw for my RAK ... good luck. Thanks for everyone who's already visited, much appreciated - mwah to you :)

Dont forget ...

the RAK up for grabs at the end of this month. I was putting everything together last night and I think the lucky winner will like it (hey, I do LOL). I've included a nifty little Tupperware "oyster" case too - fabulous for storing all sorts of bits and pieces. There's some clear stamps, some ribbon, some bling, some chipboard ...

Everytime you leave a comment on any post during October I'll put your name in the draw for these lovely little goodies. Good luck ... and thanks for visiting here.

AND ... dont forget the Divas e-bay Auction happening NOW - it's really hotting up with only a few days to go. Make sure you get your bids in on your favourite designers.

Craft Online work

I said a while back I would share some of the things I'd been doing for Craft Online - here's 2 mini albums I made (and sorry about the really crappy pics) ...







I'm currently working on some really funky little 7Gypsies portfolios ... stay tuned for more about them.

Speaking of crappy photos again, here's one of a double LO I did using the September Divas sketch - used Fancy Pants "about a boy" pp which doesn't look so good in the pic but are truly gorgeous IRL. I loved the sketch but my LO didn't turn out how I wanted so I'm not impressed with it but hey, thought I'd share it anyway.
