the amazing adventures of rachy

We have had Dad here visiting for the last week so havent got much scrapping done...

Made these 2 cupcake cards for some friends of Abbee's... twin girls who like the cards are the same but different lol.

This card was for dad...

A page just for fun...

its funny how after almost 7 years we still get the occasional hillbilly comment about Jed's name... I had the idea for this title one day last week and thought it was kinda cool.

And finally my entry in last weeks challenge the DT at Hybrid...

There are loads of things happening around the traps...

Hybrid is gearing up for a major comp... Ready... Steady... CROP! Starts on 1st Nov! Registrations are open now so get in and join in the fun for a chance to win!

Dont forget you still have a few days left to complete the monthly challenges over there too!

And omg... go check out the Wicked Princesses site & blog for details on their gorgeous new kits and an amazing competition with some seriously wicked prizes!

Now I am off to hopefully get some scrapping done before I have to go pick Jed up. lol.

Have an amazing day!

MWAH!

Managed to get a few more challenges done this weekend even with having Drew again but overnight this time lol. Sooo ended up spending most of sunday feeling very sleep deprived... I forgot about the whole not being able to get their own breaky and watch tv thing lol... been a looooong time since I had to get up that early on a sunday morning. The gorgeous smiles I got when I picked him up out of the cot were worth it tho! hehe
Anyway... not much else happening here so on with sharing the scrappy stuff lol...

Rod and I babysat our gorgeous nephew on monday... he was such a good boy all day... so happy to hang with his fave aunty & uncle I think lol.

This was Drew saying "Aunty Rachy is da bomb!" hehe

"What ya got there Aunty Rachy?"

Ive also managed to get some scrapping done this week...

The haircut one is for Hybrid.

This month I decided to have a crack at some challenge blogs challenges... just for something different.

This one is for Gutter Girlz... unfortunately I missed the deadline on this one but never mind coz I loved doing this one anyway!

This one is for One Little Word... the word is KEEP... loved these papers from cosmo cricket.

And finally this one is for Scrapping the Music... this weeks song is Nirvana's "Smells like teen spirit." Loving these Sassafras papers... just gorgeous and funky!

In other news... I had a tooth pulled today... hurt like hell and was a bastard to get out... felt like it took forever. Still very sore now... especially since the numbness has worn off. Have to go back in 2 weeks and get another one pulled... no joy there but hopefully it will put an end to the pain these teeth have been giving me.

And thats about it from my exciting world. lol.

Hoping to get some more scrapping done tomorrow and over the weekend... so fingers crossed for a tonne of fun stuff to show off soon!

MWAH!

This is my 100th Blog post!
Pretty cool huh?
So in leiu of any exciting news or crazy ramblings (coz honestly I just dont have anything insanely exciting to write about atm) I am going to catch up on sharing some layouts with you.
There are alot... and its been a while since I posted layouts so forgive me if there are any I have already posted. lol.
ENJOY!

Oh and I ran a doodling class over at Hybrid last weekend... everything is still there and it was a FREE class so if you are interested please pop over and check it out!

And Wicked Princesses are being very generous and until the 15th November they are donating $5 from every kit sold to support Breast Cancer charities! So not only would you get an awsome kit you are also helping support a really worthwhile cause!

I am also working on some cool ideas... at the moment its all a bit pie in the sky... but I am hoping that by early next week it will be a bit more concrete and I can share some really exciting news!

So thats it for blog 100!

Here's to 100 more!

MWAH!

Challenge the DT is well underway at Hybrid and so far its been loads of fun!
The idea is that members of the forum are setting challenges for the DT and some of them have been really challenging but they have all been great!

So last week Maree set the challenge and we had to make a mini album about our 5 favourite colours... I really loved doing this one because its not really something I would have done on my own but I just adore how it turned out.

If you are wondering what I made the actual album out of... well... you know how sometimes you get crappy freebie cd's for something? Or when you try and burn something and it doesnt work? Well now you know what to do with all those useless dead cd's laying around!

I just used mod podge to stick paper to them, sanded the edges and then used a small drill to put a hole through them so I could put the jump ring on. Really quiet easy.

So if you ever have a go at a CD album make sure you let me know coz I would love to see them!

I have big plans for lots of scrapping today... have a few challenges I need to get done and a couple I need to create and get examples ready for.

Ohhhhhhhh and this is post 99 on my blog! So keep an eye out for post 100! How exciting is that!!!!!

Hope everyone has an awsome day!

MWAH!

september is over! Yeah I know I shouldnt be wishing my life away etc but omg september was crazy!
I wont bore anyone with details... Ive been pretty crook... flu, toothache, flu again, then a bug... spent alot of time staying close to my bed and bathroom. Then just as I picked up and started getting better the kids had a huge dance comp over the last two weekends so we were very busy with that.
They did awsome at the comp tho. Abbee danced in several troupe routines and 2 of them got 2nd place in their sections. Jed danced with his boys class and while they didnt place they did get the biggest cheers of the whole comp. Abbee also did a couple of solos and a duo this weekend just gone... the duo with Jess got 3rd in that section which was awsome. And Abbee's jazz/hip hop solo got 3rd as well! That was huge! It was a tough competition with 12 competitors who were all awsome so for Abbee to place was just brilliant.
Also got Abbee's basic skills test results a couple weeks ago and they were brilliant too... she scored above state & school average in every area. So very proud of her!
Jed came home with this story last week...
I thought it was soooooooo cute! That kid constantly amazes me... he is only 6yo and has such an awsome imagination. I love it.

In scrappy stuff... well with september being as sucky as it was I honestly just couldnt scrap and couldnt stand going near the computer to check anything out. So I have tonnes of stuff to catch up on.

I managed to get this done for one of the september challenges at Hybrid...

And I got this done as my example for my October challenge at Hybrid... details can be found here. (While your there check out the other girls challenges too! They are awsome!)

Oh and check out Wicked Princesses too... the new site will be up and running any day now so keep checking their blog! Mel Corbett did an amazing job with the october kit... if her pages dont make ya wanna sell your soul for a WP kit then nothing will! lmao Not that you would have to sell your soul coz the prices are brilliant!

So as I said I still have alot to catch up on... so keep an eye out coz I will be getting to all the usual places and catching up very soon! Dont say you werent warned! lol

And I will be back tomorrow (actually later today) to show you my DT work for Hybrid... had alot of fun with it and it turned out awsome! (If I do say so myself... hehe)

MWAH!
