Big Update!

hii there! well firstly before i forget, i have to show you the photos from charlottes present. if you dont know what im talking about read the post below. first thing was a chocolate bar, and i made my own wrapper saying her name :)

and i also made her a card, which she absolutely loved!

So yeaa. i was really proud of them. Also something im very proud of.. my paper rack! I was so excited to FINALLY get one! and im getting some more next weekend :D WOOT! :D

Also ANOTHER thing im proud of, my best friend Katie is having her birthday party on Saturday, and i was asked to make the invitations because she just loves my scrapbooking :p lol. So thats what i spent all yesterday doing. I am very happy with them, and she loves them too :)And now for the pages i did today. The first one was of some pics from when the Raths came up. I LOVE this Three Bugs in a Rug paper. Absolutely ADORE it! This one was for the Savvy Sketch challenge this month.
The next one i did, im not very happy with, because i had this whole great idea in my head about how it would turn out, and i just couldnt put it on paper. And i had to stop for breakfast, and i called aunty hayles before i would forget about the scrap day, again. lol so yeaa, not too happy about this one, but it was for the 123 challenge. And i wanted it to be very simple, which as you can see it is.. but it just looks wrong! and the paper i LOVE. Cherry Hill :) the piece on it looks crooked in this photo, but its just the way i cropped the photo and how i took it. so dont worry! Love this photo tho :)
The next one i did is one of my all time favourites! I absolutely LOVE this page. This was my first layout where i used more than 3 photos. I am SO SO SO SO SO Happy with how this turned out! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT! And i FINALLY got to scrap these photos! YAY! :)
The thickers look amazing on this page. DEFINATLY going back and getting more of these :) hehehe.
Well its fathers day today, and mum had a nice day planned, but we're not going.. so i guess i'll do some more scrapping :P lol.
Oh and COMMENT ON MY BLOGS! i love comments :) hehehe.

Spring Fever! :)

Happy Spring Everyone! Boy am i glad its spring :) It's been a BEAUTIFUL two days! I know its melbourne and its not supposed to be nice until around... December.. but its been sooo nice! I was actually so hot i had to take off my jumper at school today! And there hasnt been a cloud in sight all day! My friends and i were going to head down to the beach for the afternoon, but we had a belly dancing class for P.E. today, and boy are my legs sore! So we decided to go on the weekend if it's nice. :)
Here's the view i get from my balcony :) I couldnt resist taking photos of such a nice day :p


How pretty are the trees outside our house?? the bloomed yesterday, and im in love with them!

So anyway, today was my best friend Charlotte and i's 7 month friend anniversary! We bought each other chocolates and wrote each other notes but i did what i do best to pressies, add some scrapping! So i made my own wrapper out of scraps of paper, and i was SOOOO happy with the way it turned out :) And i made a card too! Of course, i took some photos of the both, but my phone is stuffing up, and so i cant put them on, so i will try again later. :)
I also was in the mood to make some things that dont go in an album, so i made a sign for my door. I just love the little owl on it :) Heres how it turned out. :)


Mum and i found this new shop, called Scraptacular, and its just across the highway! It's a great shop, and theres a website too :) so if you have time visit www.scraptacular.com.au :)
Well i can add a final two LOs to my August count. I FINALLY bought some thickers, and fell in love with them straight away. They look so great on the page :)
The first page i did was a picture of Isabelle (My gorgeous cousin) in my aviator sunnies :) lol. This was a different page for me, and i used the tickets you win at an arcade, to make the page a bit more different. :)

And heres a close up of the journalling. :)

The next page i did was the first one of the new photos of me and billy :) hehe. I loveeee this page so much :)

Again a close up of the journalling. I love these journalling tags! (thanks aunty hayles :))

Sooo yeaaa. Thats it for me! I will most likely scrap myself silly this weekend, you know what im like with new challenges coming out! :) hehehe.
So until then!

Two more pages :D

Well i have done two pages this weekend. Not a very big accomplishment, but since tien left, i think both the late (or early should i say) nights have caught up to me! So i have just been chilling out and watching 12 episodes of Gossip Girl that tien brought back for me :D hahaha. I'm obsessed with it.
Well i just tried to upload the photos onto my computer. But its not working for some reason. I swear i need a new camera.. grrrr.
So as i said i did two pages, both were Pagemaps sketches. First was of me and Callam being idiots, and the second was pictures of Isabelle and Nate (my adorable cousins) in the bath! So i will try and get photos on here as soon as possible.
But until then, donate to the 40 hour famine! Its this weekend! :D
My famine number is 671041754

TIREDDD :)

Well i planned to start scrapping up a storm this morning, but tiens visit has just totally worn me out! hahaha. so i will try and wake up a bit and maybe start with some scrapping after lunch :)
The 3 days with tien was just sooooo good! She couldnt come and pick me up from school because of the traffic, so i walked to my bestie charlottes house with 4 of my other good friends ellie, katie sariah and charlotte. So we hung out at charlottes house for around half an hour, and i finally get the call from tien saying to come out the front. So we all walked out the front and guess what was out there waiting for us??
A LIMO! thats rite, a big, black, shiny, long LIMO! And out steps TIENN! :D i went mental and ran out onto the road, lucky there were no cars around! hahaha. Then tiens mum offered to take all my friends for a drive around mentone where everyone can see them in the limo, so we went in, and they were going mental! hahaha. it was hilarious. Then tiens mum called my dad and talked him into letting me take the day off school on thursday and staying on wednesday nite. lol. and so i got to stay! we stayed at crown casino, and omg it was sooo much fun! On thursday we went shopping and spent over $300 each! hahaha. :) i had the best time and took so many photos. here are just some of them.

me seeing tien! :p

us and the limo! :)

charlotte katie and sariah in the limo.

me ellie and tien in the limo :)

Theres heaps more photos on facebook and theres a couple vids aswell. :) I had a ball. and i will get to scrapping soon! :D hahahaha.
Ciao Ciao for now :)

Inspired :)

Hi there :)
Well I am back. I have been inspired by this months sketches, and challenges and im back to my old 'scrapping up a storm on the weekend' ways. I have scrapped 7 pages since late Saturday Night, and Im very proud indeed :)
I have finished most of the challenges too, so now i get to do pages 'just because' :) hehe. The first page i did was a page for White With 1. I just loved the idea of the neutral colours, and i've never done anything like that before, so i couldnt wait to have a go.
in the end, i LOVE how it turned out. its one of my all time fav pages :)


Oh yea, and sorry about the shadow on some of them, there is NO WHERE good to take photos around my house, theres either fences, trees or some sort of object in the way. And its just way too dark inside.
Anyway the next one i did was the August Challenge for Scrap the Girls. I love these photos, but i dont rele like how the page turned out.


The next page i did, my mind just went completely wild. It was supposed to be the August Sketch for Scrap Savvy, but i decided to use this great bit of paper that i love, and i had only a tiny bit left, so i changed the sketch completely :p haha. Love these photos of Abbey :)


Again sorry about the Shadow, i will try and find a good place and take some better photos :)
The next page i did, was a photo of Nate i took of him in the bath last visit. i just ADORE this photo of him, and i love the little dinosaurs on this page :)


I just realised how crap the quality of these pics are. I was using dads new camera... wont be using it again i can tell you that. I will take some with the other camera when i get a chance... so sorryy :(
The next page i did was of a beautiful picture of me and Molly. I was so glad that my Aunty Kaz FINALLY got her comp set up, so she could send me some photos of my cousins Molly and Chloe. My album is definatly lacking pages of them!
So i did a page of me and Molly. I LOVE this page, and i LOVE the colours, but the stupid camera made the colours go all funny... GRRR. and she really is growing up before my eyes. I still think of the day she was born, and it seems like yesterday!



Next page was the August Challenge for Mystical Scrapbooks. Not sure if i like how this page turned out. But i love the paper :) (thanks aunty hayles!)

Next Page is of a GORGEOUS photo of Chloe, my cousin. I fell in love with this photo as soon as i saw it. I was getting tired at this point, and so the page is very simple, but i still rele like how it turned out, and i love this paper. :)

I was about to say goodbye then, but then scrolled down and saw i put other photos on from saturday. Dads back playing Rugby (I know..) And i went to his game on Saturday. it was fun, and Dad is actually pretty good, seeing as hes an old man :) haha. nahh hes not that old.. but still, too old to be playing rugby :p lol. He scored one try, and went in to score his second try Billy Slater Origin 1 style, and missed it.. hahaha :D But i got assigned the job of being the touch judge, because they were lacking refs, and i had NO idea what to do, so i just put the flag up whenever the ball went out :) haha. it was prettty fun :p NOT. but it was embarresing at the end of the game, the ref made me go through the tunnel of players at the end and they were all cheering and patting me on the back and giving me high fives on the way through... i got so muddy. The field was ankle deep in mud, and stupid me, turned up in jeans... and i had to run touch! hahaha. silly me.. :) Nearly as tall. couple more months i reckon.. :)

Loook how muddy he is! ARRRGH. Monster :p
me being touchy... i didnt do a very good job..

The team.. muddy much? lol
I dunno if you've noticed at the bottom of my blog, theres a countdown. My best friend tien is arriving in Melbourne tomorrow (tuesday) from vietnam! Im sooo excited :D:D:D:D So expect lots of photos from our week :) hehehe.
Until then!
Emily...

New Blog

Well i went to write a new post today and i was shocked, that my blog was deleted! i was stunned for a moment, then realised, dad deleted my gmail account! i asked him to delete it because i dont use it anymore, and now that theres no account, theres no blog! ARGHH. so annoying!
So yes, this is my new blog! :)

I havent scrapped in SOOO long. im hoping that the new challenges for this month, will inspire me a bit. I just havent been in the mood lately!

But something AWESOME, has happened :) there was a VIP nite at harvey norman, and the storm were there! there were discounts off all of the products, and then again after the discount, you got staff prices! sure that was great for mum, but it was great for me and jackson too, we got to meet most of the team. :D

So as soon as we came in, there was Cooper Cronk and Dallas Johnson, we talked for a bit, they signed our things and we got some photos! First with Coops.



And then with Dallas!




And then we kept moving on. Just as we were about to turn into the electronics area, we caught sight of Ryan Hoffman and Anthony Quinn. they were walking and it took me a couple minutes to catch up to them, but when they realised i was trying to get them, they stopped lol. a bit embarresing. :)

So again, they signed our stuff and took a photo with us. This time, i asked if both of them could get in. :)



I didnt realise how cute Quinny is! He's actually quite a looker :) lol. Ryan Hoffman on the other hand, not so much, great player, nice guy, but as my best friend charlotte says, he looks like an ogre. hahaha. sryy Ryan :)

So after we left them, we made our way into the electronics area. I caught sight of a bald head, and went OH LOOK THERES STEVE TURNER! so me and jackson slowly made our way over to him, then, a head popped up next to him from behind the shelves, and i first thought it was Whitey, but then i had a closer look. i sprinted over to them and OMG, it was him :)





lol. i was sooo excited. but actually managed to keep my cool, and talk properly this time. :) as we were walking away, jackson was like, OH NO! i forgot to get billy to sign my flag, so we made our way over to him again, and he was taking photos with the staff, and he turned around and smiled at me and was like, heyy again :). mum told him that jackson forgot to ask him to sign his flag, then after, i was like WOW. i have never seen my mum act so cutely. she asked billy if it was alrite if she had a photo with him, and inside i was like AWWWW. :) cuz she said it all shyly haha. but when he was like YEAAA sure. she was back to normal and was like, haha never too old. As you can see, this ones a bit blurry. i was shaking abit, and they both noticed, cuz mum was like, hold still! you'll make the picture blurry lol.



And when mum got her photo with him i noticed that their arms were around each other. Im like NOOO :( lol. and i was like, Billy, can i have a photo by myself with you?? and he was like, haha sure.

and our arms were around each other! my hand was on HIS back, and his hand was on MY back! i was like.. omg, this is soooo much better than last time! when i was excited over our arms being 10cm away from each other... :p

So yeaa lol after that i was sooo ecstatic :) and then we came across Bretty Finch. he WAS one of my favs. he was talking to one of the staff about going to the warriors and stuff. i didnt hear all of it, but he was saying something like he loves it in melbourne, and its perfect for him and stuff, and he doesnt rele want to go over to a team thats losing. lol, i couldnt help giggling at that. So we did the usual got things signed, and the WHOLE time we were getting things signed, he was still talking to the girl. the only time he wasnt talking to her was when we were getting the photo taken and when he said goodbye. I couldnt help thinking what a a bit of a snob he was being, but i guess he makes up for it on the footy field.


and then finally we walked around to the front again, and met Will Chambers. I cant believe i ever disliked this guy, he is an awesome player, and SUCH a nice guy. but if i had a dollar for everytime he said 'too easy' i'd be a millionare :p lol.
After we said goodbye and good luck to Will, we were about to go when we realised we hadnt seen Greg Inglis, Brett White or Cam Smith, so i walked over to billy and asked him if he'd seen them. He said he hadnt seen them, and then mum and jackson made their way over and we had a full on conversation with him! it was GREAT! we talked about heaps of things, Jackson and his Junior clubs, open training sessions, what happened to his fingers (i asked him what happened because they were strapped up :p) and we even know what he has for breakfast now! hehe, and no, i didnt ask, he was like (to jackson) sooo... got any questions for me? and jackson was silent lol and billys like... wanna know what i had for breakfast? and then he looked at me and im like yeaa sure! and hes like well i had 4 wheatbix with honey, thats wat i have every morning. lol i was like.. well thanks for sharing that :) haha. so we were talking to him for about 15 mins and when we finally left. so much funn! :)
