Australian Scrapbook Ideas DT work - Issue 3

I can finally share some of my magazine Design Team work.. so here goes!!! Just goes to prove that i really have scrapped in the last 12 months!! lol

First up.... Australian Scrapbook Ideas, Issue 3 - article titled "All That Glitters"

OMG, i actually scrapped!!!!! This is about the first Non Magazine DT work that i have done in almost a year!!!!!! Even though i just got a new commission due in 2 weeks! LOL... I wanted to scrap just for ME today.. no limits and pressures!!!!!! Pretty happy with this one, although it is pretty simple.... :-) i've been busting to scrap a layout of this beautiful picture of Miss Liv with one of her besties, Mia. Aren't they just gorgeous??? Their first time in Tu-tu's at the Dancing Eisteddfod in June.... I used K & Co "Abrianna" papers, and lots and lots of Prima! :-)

Such a slack blogger

See, the problem with designing for magazines, is that you are not allowed to publish any of your work! I have been scrapping in the last, wow, year since i have showed anything!!! I swear i have!!! LOL.... Just can't put anything up here!!!!! Which is kind of a shame.... So i make it my new mission, to create some things just for ME that i can share! :-)

I have recently purchased countless new ranges of goodies from the US, and i have also discovered a fabulous!!!! Aussie product, called Dusty Attic, producing the most intricate, amazing and deliciously yummy chipboard!!!!! I only received them in the mail in the last 2 weeks, so WATCH THIS SPACE!! I will be scrapping up a storm in no time!!!! :-)

Check out this amazingly talented ladies blog! http://www.gabriellepollacco.blogspot.com/

WOW.... She's also giving away some jaw dropping Blog Candy , all you have to do is leave a comment on her blog, and share a pic of the prize! (Picture above!!)

It is truly amazing.... Sadly, i couldn't win a chook raffle, so i doubt i will have much chance winning, LOL! ;-) Anyway, until next time....... which will hopefully be sooner rather than later!!!! he he ;-P

My god, has it been that long since i blogged?????

Wow, time really flies... almost December already, and i haven't blogged since August!!!
Have been absolutely flat out this year, it has been never ending!
Exciting news first, i was asked to be on the Design Team for a new magazine, Australian Scrapbook Ideas a few months ago! I was absolutely thrilled, to say the least!!!!!

Needless to say, this has kept me quite busy, hence no blogging, and definately no new projects to share, as all i have done is scrap for both the magazines i am designing for! I haven't had time to do any "me" scrapping in ages!!! My very first article was published in Scrapbook Ideas last month! I have 2 more articles coming up in the mag in issues 4 and 6, and two articles i have also done for UK Scrapbook Mag coming up in the next few months! Very exciting!

On other news, I had my 6th overseas trip in October, 12 nights cruising the South Pacific which was rather lovely!!!
Otherwise, nothing too exciting, just busy with life, work and Olivia and her dancing commitments!!!! She is also doing acrobatics classes now and starting Speech and Drama in the new year. Needless to say, this does not leave much time for Mummy to do anything!!! Lol.... Such is the life of a Mummy! :-)
Ok, thats about it for now.... keep your eyes out for Australian Scrapbook Ideas and you might get to see some of my recent work!! lol... My contract states i can't display any of the work anywhere until 6 months after it's published so it will be a while until i can put them on here!
