granchildren canvas

This was for my mum & dad for Christmas. Mum wanted somewhere to put recent photos of her grandchildren (currently 6 of them but who knows....-no I'm definitely not having more!). I painted the canvas the same colour as her walls - napa - and attached the ribbon with brads. The clips serve the purpose for photos to be added and changed at will - It had to be 'modern' enough to go on mums walls - best thing is she must have liked it cause it was up on her wall that day.

What a neat idea, Lara - I love this. Think I will make Darryn's Dad one sometime soon - then when we post photos to him he'll have somewhere to clip them! Love it!

Lara, that is so cool. I love that the recipient can easily change the photos. I think I will scraplift that idea and use wooden pegs ('cause I bought a pack of about 200(!!) to make blackboards - see pics on Mel's and Delys' blogs - sorry I don't know how to do links in comments! - for details - Christmas presents and 200 wooden pegs will go a l-o-n-g way!)

Hiya Lara, just catching up with everyone's blogs - glad your canvas's went down a treat. I too did a few for pressies and it didn't take long before the requests were coming thick and fast.

blenheim

We are currently in Blenheim. Have been doing some of the wineries - a work trip for Jase - we just get to go along! I'v been playing with some of the phaunt actions by Kylie Banks- my faves are phaunt magic instant & then beastly colour. Got the links from an online class at Scrapbook Outlet with Mandi Haynes. above: Katya on a walk in Waikari with Jases parents. Below - Harold the older giraffe at Orana Park, just before I met Vicki & checked out the stamping up catalogue. Jase & I joined a winery tour today - was a great way to meet some different people & to see & learn a little bit about some of the local wineries. Feel quite isolated without my home internet connection though!

thunderpants inspired

Here it is Karen - inspired by thunderpants! Had fun doodling. Love that I found that quote - fits the pic very aptly! Got my hands on clean & simple the sequel by Cathy Z today - such a good read so far!!! Also got a letter from Pride Publishing - they want one of my A-Z Lo's for publication in issue 44 - so exciting (just wish I live with a bunch of scrappers who understand what this means to me - but then I 'd have to share my stash!). Donna also got a letter - congrats Donna! (her links down to the lower right of my blog) To all those scrap camping - this weekend - hope it's a good one at whichever camp you are at. I'm looking forward to mine next weekend!

Cheese Rolls

Spread sliced bread with Cheese Spread (see below). Roll up. Toast in oven & serve hot. These may be frozen and heated when required! cheese spread: 1pkt onion soup; 500g tasty cheese - grated; a 400g tin of evaporated milk; Put all ingredients in a saucepan and heat slowly until cheese melts and mixture thickens. Stir well. When cool store in jars in the fridge for sandwhiches etc or put in your cheese rolls! Yep, the Up2Scrap Elite Design team has been announced - soo privileged & excited to be a part of it. Congrats to Donna , Rach , Lianne , Trina & Sue & thanks Steph & Jo for the opportunity:-) We have been in Invercargill overnight - nice to get away even if it is only for a night!
