I know, I know ...

... I've been a slack biarch LOL. Where does the time go.
Like to say congrats to the girls on the new Scrapbooking by Design DT. Great choices there Lisa. Have seen some cool stuff from some of those girls thru the NZ Dares.

Speaking of NZ Dares you guys will have to be around next Friday night to check out something way cool and pretty damn big happening on that there blog. You will be amazed.

Scrapcamp is 3 weeks away. OMG. 3 weeks away. Very cool classes and very cool product and very cool people. I can't wait. We should have some sneak peeks ready for you soon on the Scrapcamp blog.

Nice to catch up with the girls last night Nic, Lucy, Tracy and Ruth. Few laughs, just what I needed.

Got my nails off the other day and now my nails are very thin. Is that usual. Tell me, do you get them done at a beauty salon or at one of those nail places that are popping up in all the malls these days. That's where I got mine done and I'm thinking maybe I should go to a salon next time. Yes there will be a next time, right before Scrapcamp. I actually liked them when I got used to them.

Thats all for now folks.

I made a blinkie

for the NZ Dare blog. It's in the sidebar here. Help yourself to it if you want to add it to your siggies etc, you can just right click on it and Save Picture as etc, then you need to host it at a site that hosts animated gifs like Photobucket. I have yet to figure out how to make it so when you click on it, it links to the site, if anyone knows could you please fill me in.
Have fun!!

It's all about colour

I was going to do this layout for the orange and green + one other colour dare but decided to go with the one I did. I got these yummy coloured pipe cleaners from Arthurs Emporium. Ever since I saw Kim Henkel using pipe cleaners on her layouts I wanted to try too. They are so bendy and cool to shape and come in nice bright colours.
Talking about colour I got the Autumn Leaves book Designing with Color the other day and they have a blog too. It's great as always. Alot like the other DW books, just even more Eye Candy and tips.
And have you seen there's more AL books coming out - Freestyle 2 and Designing with Details. I can't keep up.
In case you're wondering I'm getting used to my nails though one has broken off. I bit it and it cracked - naughty me. Quite liking them now actually. Nearly time for a back fill and a good file down. And thanks everyone for the tips.
If you decide to have a go at pipe cleaners on your layouts please link them back here in the comments so I can see.

It's been a week since my last blog ...

... and over the week I've thought of so many things I could say but I just didn't find the time.

1. Check out the Scrapcamp blog for a change of venue. Scrapcamp is now at Rotorua. Nothing else has changed, same price, same classes etc etc, just a venue change. We went there last time and had a ball. So an awesome time is guaranteed.
2. Crocs - A friend ordered 2 pairs for me from the US over a year ago (pink and brown) and now I see they are here in NZ and in The Warehouse of all places and also in Stirling Sports. So here's your chance people, if you haven't already, run and get some. They are the most comfortable shoes in the world. I worked every day last week and wore them every day and I never once got sore feet as I usually do. Lynda came in the shop the other day and she was wearing some and when I visited Nic the other day she was wearing some.They are great and cool colours too. You can even get little kid ones I've heard.
3. Acrylic Nails - I had them done for the first time ever in the holidays as a treat. Emma had her braces off and while we waited for her retainers we went and had our nails done. Who can scrapbook with these things. It takes me forever to peel the back off a photo split. And my Mum said ' Oh Lianne, they really don't suit you'. So tell me who else has them or has had them and do you love them or hate them. Any tips would be good too.
4. While you're at Nic's blog she is doing draws all this week for Q & Co brads so you can enter this competition.
5. Check out the NZ Dare blog for some cool orange themed layouts.
6. And lastly, thanks heaps for all your congratulations on my Up2Scrap ET spot.

Happy scrapping without acrylic nails LOL.

YAY I can say ...

I made it onto the 2007 Up2Scrap Elite Team. I'm rapt and the other girls on the team are awesome. It's going to be a great year. Really looking forward to it. Thanks Steph and Jo for the opportunity.
Last day tomorrow for NZ Dare #8. Lots of very cool entries so far. And another exciting dare going up on Friday.

Quick share
