Back into Digi

Now that I am home I have been digi scrapping again...while Murray plays golf on the xbox. Last night I made 3 layouts from the Willro&Co new kit which will be released in 1 week and one today using Summer Driggs 'Energy' kit. I will upload the other 3 when the kit is released :)

Night with my Sister-in-Law

Both our hubbies were away so Mick and I had a scrap night last night and I stayed the night so I didn't have to drive home:)
I was able to do 4 layouts which I am wrapped with.
These first 2 were from a TLC kit I was given at the Scrap of Faith retreat.





The journaling in this Princess layout is from the 'His Princess' book we all received at the retreat. I am just loving it and will probably make some more layouts using the letters in it which are love letters form God to us written around Bible verses.


A layout about Angus at 7 weeks old, the day after we picked him up from Perth.

and this is a Cirlce Journal entry for Nat's CJ...her theme is 'Defining Moments'.

SoF Retreat Layouts

Well I didn't get much scrapping done at the retreat which is really not like me, but the heat and humity drained all the energy and inspiration out of me. I got 1 digitial layout and 2 double paper layouts done.

We all got given a different scrap pack and had to use only what was in it (plus bazzill) as a comp. My first kit was quite boyish so I swapped with Natalie...I like this one heaps more..

SoF Retreat Photos

I have been trying to get these photos on here for the past 3 days now and have just had the chance....
I had the most awesomest of weekends! I met a lot of my online friends from Scrap of Faith and we had the best time together scrapping, laughing, crying, worshiping and laughing some more.
I flew to Brissie from Melbourne on Thursday and stayed with Karen's daughter Sarah. We did a bit of shopping at Garden City on Friday and then headed to the retreat at 5pm where our arrival was not as I expected. We had been laughing in the car and when we pulled in we were at the point of laughter where you can't turn back and the snot and tears are flowing....I am sure everyone wondered why we were in such a state...so everytime someone looked at me I burst into laughter again...strange I know.
The retreat went until Sunday arvo then I stayed the night at Nat's house, went to DFO the next morning and then flew back to Melbourne.

Here are some photos from my awesome weekend...
On my way to Brissie...just love these type of photos.

I met Lesley for the first time at the airport with Karen...we hit it off straight away...what a blast!

Rollerskating Expedition

On the holidays I took the girls skating at their primary school but it was very short lived because we apparently over stepped the line with Mr Magpie and came into his territory...he was NOT happy! Note to self...when your children are getting attacked by magpies, stop laughing and try and help them!

God's Got Me...no matter what.

I just loved this photo when I saw it on one of Karen's layouts. It reminds me that God has my life in his control...as long as I try to live my life in a way that would please Him and obey Him....I believe I can trust Him with my life. He is the one who created me so He knows what is best for me :D I could try til I turned blue to live this life and succeed in life, but I know that without Jesus leading me and without His love and grace I would get nowhere.

All photos on this layout I found in Google images and the song is by Matt Redman.

Retreat Layouts

I had the most fabulous of weekends last weekend at the Wave Rock Retreat! I think there was over 40 ladies that attended and we all had a great time doing what we love to do best...create!
The classes were all great and I had great feedback about my classes. There were ladies going back and doing their 2nd, 3rd, and 4th layouts using my class designs so thats always a good sign ;)
I was able to do some layouts too while I wasn't teaching...here they are...
This double layout was from Lis Cassey's class...

Scraplifted this layout from Amy....

This layout was from Sharon's class...

Scraplifted this one from Gigga....

and these ones I did in my spare time.
