Exciting news from my digi scrapping world!

Apart from scrapping news, this week has been rather uneventful. Working every day, sick children and poor weather have seen to that. Both children have had coughs and colds and Katie's is just not going away. Hugh stayed home with Den on his RDO on Wednesday. More 'father/son' time than anything else I think - but that is not a bad thing. I am in full support of 'mental health days' especially with Dad. I was concerned about Katie however, and told her if she felt unwell at school, they just had to call and either I or Dad would come get her. Well it was Den who got the call on Thursday - after lunch time I might add - she had to play first LOL! Real sick as you can tell! Soooo lucky Den has that flexility to drop everything and run. Still, I think I have been through enough paracetemol and dimetapp to sink a ship this past week.

Photo's this week: I have not had my camera out until today at football - where I stayed in the car for 95% of the time might I add - cold wind blowing. Here is my P52 shot of my sick little pink kitten in the back seat of the car playing the games on "Mamma's ipod".



PCF Challenge this week was set by Leah: white/negative space. Given my rather limited opportunites of this otherwise fave topic of mine, here is my boy at football today. (ps. Leah, please note the length of Hugh's hair! Let's see who can last the longest before a cut shall we - Hugh or Jordan? Hugh was thrilled to tell me his hair was blowing in the wind today LOL!)



Time for scrapping pages this week - please click on all images for credits. First up is a page using the designs of two of my favourite friends Nini and Sandrine! I had a play on words for the 'aries v zen' opposites in me ... 'an aries girl searching for a zen attitude'.




My fabulously talented friend Val has made this amazing kit and her stamps are my absolute fave product of hers. This kit has incredible elements and she even made a Melbourne stamp - thank you Val ... it's Valicious!

Now to my exciting news. I have been asked onto two Creative Teams. Taking on more scrapping responsibilities is not a decision I made lightly. I fully appreciate the goodwill these people extend to me and thank my lucky stars daily for the incredible products I have the privilege to play with. Yes life is busy with family and part time work but scrapping is both my creative outlet and relaxation. It is a very crucial component in my life.

Firstly I was asked by Marina who is setting up a wonderful new Russian site to help out. It is a pleasure to work with these lovely girls and we had fun at an international chat yesterday with people from all over the globe. Please click on the image below to go and have a look around this new site. Matrioshki is of course the famous Russian dolls!

There are some fabulous new designers there and here are a few pages with some of the latest goodies available.

The second team I was asked on was Catscrap. The big draw card here for me is the amazing sister duo of Annika and Maria. Not only are they good friends but I am a HUGE fan of both their work and would love to learn more from them. Annika is working very hard as CT leader over at Catscrap and it pleases me greatly to be able to help her out in my little ways. ie. taking my Aussie sense of fun into their forum ;)

Here is my AAM page:

And another page using these gorgeous papers from Micheline Martin:

Have a peaceful week everyone!
