Not a lot to say...

I'm actually feeling rather uninspired to type anything today so I'm just going to leave you with my latest creations... I can't sit here thinking what to blog about - both kids are asleep and I need to milk every second! LOL

Art Piaskownica

I found the Art Piaskownica challenge site through some people on Flickr... and thought I'd play along. I've decided that Polish scrappers ROCK! I love how they use their colours and incorporate inks and stuff on their pages. They also have photography challenges... and their pics are gorgeous! You should definitely check out the eye candy on their blog. Here's my take on their page to scraplift:


And for those playing along at home - today's effort on the treadmill...

4km in 33min20sec!! In the past month I have taken 5min 40sec off my time so I should easily be at my 30 minute goal in one more month... Yay!

Scrap the Girls

I just had to do the Scrap the Girls challenge for this month. The challenge was to use one of the "She" sayings for the title and inspiration for the layout... since I'd been doing the "She Art" Class over the last few weeks it kind of came easily.

You should do it! Seriously...

I'm a bit sad that this week is the last week of this class....


It's an absolutely fantastic class and I have LOVED doing it! Christy is holding this class again starting April 11th and I highly recommend that you do it (and if you do sign up, say that I sent you so that I can get some love too). :)

I have nothing more to share today.... the last week or so has been pretty hard with Amani deciding that she wants to start having a feed again in the middle of the night. So sleep has been a higher priority than doing much creating lately.... but I have started a few things so hopefully I'll get to finish them soon.

Catch you later!

Some more Canvases

Jenna was at daycare today so I managed to finish 2 of the 3 canvases that I had sitting on my desk... progress up until today had been very slow as I stole a minute or two to work on them while I could. I remember reading somewhere that a tiny step in the right direction is still a step in the right direction.... I've kind of been repeating that to myself over the last few days. :)

Here they are:

This first one is a 10x30cm canvas... I was wondering what to do with it since it was so long and skinny and came up with this...

Next up is a 15x15cm canvas.


That's it for now... Thanks for stopping by!

Enjoying today.

I don't know what it is about today but I feel like I am just cruising along and getting heaps done... gotta love days like this. Even the weather is co-operating so far. :) I've done lots of washing, vacuuming and playing with the girls - I even managed to get them to go for a nap at the same time!

As promised here is my first She Art girl for the class I've been doing with Christy Tomlinson.


I must say I am COMPLETELY loving this class... and the 3 more canvases I've almost finished are proving it. I've never been this productive doing a class before! I've even still been managing to do some in my art journal (although not every day... but most).


Thanks for stopping by!

March 123 Challenge

Well another month has flown by and we are now into the third month of the year - can you believe it?? I had so much fun creating the page for this months 123 Challenge! This month you had to create a project using the word to/too/two, doilies and light/medium blue. Here's what I came up with....


And just to prove that art journaling doesn't have to be rocket science I created another background at the same time using a lot of the same things, but it looks completely different.


I'll be back later with my first creation from Christy Tomlinson's fantastic class!
