Cream, pink and brown @ Inkurable

Inkurable Stampers Blog welcomes December with a new challenge. It is to create something using only cream, pink and brown and I had just the perfect idea. I had a tin sitting at work that had lollies in it from a rep and everytime i looked at it it was screaming at me to stick paper on it. (im crazy... I know, but thanks for pointing that out, LOL) So I have made it into a christmas gift for my mother in law. Just have to put some yummy treats in there and it's ready.

I used some Daisy D's and Kaiser scrap bits of paper and my new nestabilities (They're so cool), some crackle medium - because i'm obsessed with the stuff and stamps from Hero Arts and Basic Grey. Oh and distress inks (of course).

Hubby is away this weekend so I'm off to creat something else.

bye for now

I love nestabilities

GUESS WHAT!? I have scored myself some of those fan-dangled spellbinders nestabillities thing-a-ma-jigs, LOL
I found Michelles Scrapbooking and more in the US that had an awesome sale on the spellbinders. So I managed to pick myself up a few and they came so quickly.

This is the most impressed ive been in ages, go and have a look.

Thankyou Michelle

A layout and pics to share

It has been a while but I have finished another layout. (and yes it's of the wedding AGAIN!) teehee.

Well on the weekend we had our work xmas party. We went up to Avoca Beach and then up to Wyong to the Tree Tops adventure park . That was fun. We got all harnessed up and had to go through a series of obstacle courses high up in the trees. Here's a couple of pics of me on one of the flying foxes and some of the obstacles. I only did 2 out of 4, im a chicken hehehe. How sexy do I look in my safety gear!

Go Margs, you can do it!



The Boss man in the cargo net

Team work!Well thats it from me at the moment. They are saying it's gonna be another hot one today, so I better get motivated to do all my chores before it gets too hot,

Bye for now

November Inkurable Challenge

Hi everyone? How are we all? Hot? I tell you I bloody am! It hit 40 degress c. in old Sydney town today and I just checked on google just then and its only 38 now. They are saying we should get a cool change at 10pm tonite. Dont think I can wait much longer. So last night I started my November Inkurable entry and it was that hot I couldnt sleep and kept going until 3am this morning. Ive been working on it all day today in my sweat-room..errr.. I mean scraproom (LOL) anyway Im really happy how its all turned out.

The challenge this month is to create a Christmas themed twinchie.

Now for anyone who knows me well... I dont do Christmas! I cant stand it. but I am trying this year to make a good go of it for Pete.

I have never made an inchie or a twinchie before and I think they are pretty cool! Well I started of with 1 twinchie and was going to put it on a card but I liked it that much I had to make a whole set. So I made 9. Hahaha!

Here is a photo of the twinchies before I turned it into my Christmas decorated frame

And here is my finished product:

And a close up :)

I used a miriad of stamps from Basic Grey Winterland Collection, Some darkroom Dooor stamps and a couple of Hero Arts stamps. I even got out the old punches (that I havent used since I started scrapbooking about 4 years ago!) Ive used my favourite Distress ink pads, cuttlebug embossing folders and some bits and bobs to finish it off and mounted each twinchie on chipboard and popped it in a glass frame. The frame was black but I swiped rub n buff all over it to match the twinchies. I have used Christmas Images from Lisas Altered Arts as well - You must check out the website - Just beautiful images at a fabulous price. Its my fave site at the moment.

Well I better go and get some tea, I was going to make a quiche tonite but I am not turning the oven on in this heat. So we're having BBQ chicken on breadrolls with salad! A perfect summer Aussie dinner.

Bye for now, Del xx

OMG another post??

yes it sure is!

I did this LO a quite a few weeks ago for my LSS and forgot to take a photo of it. So I went back today and asked for it back so i could put it on my blog.

Its of my bridesmaid and myself and its one of my fave LO's at the moment.

Ok must run hubby is home. Hopefully will get some more done soon - ive had a hit on the head by some inspiration

look at my chest...

Treasure chest that is you dirty minded people LOL!!

If the kids behave themselves at my work they are allowed a prize from our treasure chest. Obviously we cant give out lollies (it's a dental surgery!)

Our old cardboard box treasure chest was looking a bit worse for wear, so guess who's job it was to make a new one? I remember at our staff meeting the words were "Danielle's crafty she can make it!" LOL

So I blew them away with this..... unfortunatley the pics dont really do it justice :(

Pete made the box from scratch! Isnt he amazing *sigh* heeheeAnd then I used some grungeboard and crackle medium to give it a real rustic kinda look. We bought some hinges from bunnings and its funny coz when you open it it actually makes a creeking noise, Love it!! And everyone at work loves it too :-) YAY US!

Now onto other news... Not any scrapping tho :( I did do a LO for my LSS but forgot to take a photo Grrr!!! And it was oneof my faves atm too. double Grrr! I forgot to post some pics of our halloween party

Me and the Boss man. (sorry couldnt turn the pic)Pete as Elvis! too funnyTheres heaps more on facebook if you wanna have a look.

So hopefully some scrapping soon. I've been asked to go to a friends house tomorrow to take some pics of there new little girl. Hopefully will get some nice ones to scrap too!

Until then.. Bye for now xx

Yay I'm home ...

From our relay. It was a Loooong 24 hours in the cold and rain. Well it didnt rain the whole time only halfway through my 2 hour stint at 1.30 this morning LOL and again after we started pulling the tent down.

I think we kinda had fun - although i was over it well and truely early in the peace. heehee By the way - you'll see in the photos we dressed up as Tooth Fairies LOL

Thankyou to everyone who donated and helped me reach my goal. Im not sure how much yet my team raised exactly but was a few thousand i think, We all made cakes and biscuis to sell at our cake stall as well so the money we received from that went to the cancer council as well.. In total the whole relay raised over $100,000! Pretty good effort!

Ok well im getting delirious from lack of sleep now so i'll add a few pics and go to bed.

It's on tomorrow!!!

The day has finally come and the Relay for Life is on tomorrow and there is still time to donate to the cancer council. Its actually going to be raining and cold in Sydney over the weekend. GREAT!! >:(
So we will be camping out in the rain and cold and doing our 24 hour relay .
