Nana Vics digital cowgirl stamp

Nana Vics  digital  stamp - cowgirl.  I am constantly  amazed at the  fabulous  women and scrappers  that I can  call a friend.   Their  cleverness and  talent  is   inspiring.  The  fabulous Nana Vic is one of the most AMAZING   painters,  drawers and  ATC  creators  I know -  her stuff is  UNREAL!!
And luckily - she has  recently moved to creating her own range of  digital stamps and  the  first  one is available now  ....I LOVE  this range and think that it feels   a  void  in  the stamping world.....check it out  HERE......tell her I sent you!!!!

OMG - This is the 500th POST!!! And look who it is!!!!

So -   it is the final week of the postcards  competition  over at Scrapboutique and I have  LOVED  the  competition - I went into this week - GREENLAND  - with absolutely  NO clue  and then  this afternooon -  it hit me......so here she is - a dedication  to  two of my  newest  friends - but also two  who will  be some of my longest  friends.  We were  destined  to meet  , destined  to stay up late,  talk too much and  crack up laughing!!!  Oh yeah - and sometimes we get to scrap and  ATC together!!!  Love them both -  I feel honoured to call them  my  mates!!  Thanks  Angie and  Emma!!!

This is too funny....

Some little bits and pieces....

I havent  been doing   too much - been  busy with friends  up from Melbourne and then  Mum and Dad  have  been  with us for a week so I  got to do some scrapping  on Saturday night when a  bunch of  us  got together at Angies -  Lots of fun - gorgeous  women and  fabulous  food. 
I did this one of my  Daniel  boy and his new rugby life...I have raised  the   sayings and stuff on  different levels of  pop dots  but you cant  really  see!

And then Mad about scrappin  had their cybercrop on and I have   been able to complete one challenge - so  sad!!   Here she is....

How cute are those papers!!!

I hope to be  back soon  with more!

1 2 3 challenge is coming back

OK Ladies! Here we go!




The 123 Challenge for June will be based on:





1 ONE WORD



2 ONE DOMINANT COLOUR



3 ONE MYSTERY CRITERIA



A combination of the 3 Criterias will be announced on the 1st of JUNE. I have a few of the old Creative Team Members coming back - with the chosen criterias to be uploaded and inspire you on the 1st.



The Rules:



The WORD can be used in the title, in the journalling or ANYWHERE on the page/project as long as it's VISIBLE and a feature - we don't want it HIDDEN it has to be seen!



The Dominant Colour MUST be dominant - you must use it so that it is the MOST NOTICEABLE of the colours you use on your page!



The Mystery Criteria will be given by either one of the Creative Team, Myself or even maybe a Guest or Contributor - submit your ideas to challenge_123@hotmail.com



We have 3 Websites donating - so three chances to WIN! More details coming shortly!



Want to be on the Creative Team? I will be keeping an eye out for the next few months or so, to see who regularly contributes AND is inspirational and most creative! We will be limiting the number on the Creative Team as I am wanting to "keep it simple" this time around....



Sound good?



I'm sure I've missed something - so stay tuned!

A little piece of Japan and some Twiddleybitz

Yesterday I was stuck at home all day so that I could be here for the DELL man- which took 6 hours of waiting - love that! It did mean that I got to do a lot of baking - shortbread, almond biscuits and choc chip cookies- which of course the kids LOVE!! BUT I also managed to do my JAPAN layout for the postcards competition over at scrapboutique...which totally freaked me out to begin with but then I got sorted on a Japanese garden and then I had some fun with a Twiddleybitz gate - OMG- how gorgeous is that!! I painted it in Tim Holtz crackle paint - my newest colour and played with heaps of scraps and cutouts that i had and came up with this....

The idea is that it looks  like they are stepping out through the garden gate!  Cute huh!!

I then got all inspired and  finished off the Twiddleybitz  large easel that I purchased  at the end of last year.  I painted it in Making  Memories buttercup paint and then added an antiquing medium and then  some of my fave  vintage  flowers and pearl rope.  IT now stands on my large  sideboard in the loungeroom - NOICE!!

And I  recently won a  Twiddleybitz  birdcage so I  already have an idea for that too!!!!

My Mum and Dad arrive today for a week so if Im a  bit quiet - Im  out and about with them!!!!

JUNE kits are here.....

Okay girls - the kits are $10  each and  postage is capped at $5  no matter   how many kits you purchase.  Email me at lkamphuis@live.com.au  with the name of any kits you would like.  Its  first in best dressed and they move quick so let  me know!!  I have been  selling  the kits for   a year now so I am also   going to run a couple of  fun competitions.....the first one - Send me a pic of any layouts  you do with the kits you purchase and go into the draw for a Cool RAK.
   In addition there will be a second  RAK - refer any friends and if they also buy kits you will both go into the draw for a second RAK.  Easy  peasy huh!!

Busy Busy busy

You know those times when Life gets a little crazy - thats what it feels like right now. This morning my kids were late for school - we literally live ACROSS THE ROAD!! so really there is NO excuse. Iwas helping Joshua with Maths problems on Mathletics in preparation for todays Naplan test only to realise we were 15 minutes late leaving home - EGADS!!!!! He BOLTED out the door and made it with seconds to spare - Daniel and Teleah were both late ...Great start to the day - NOT!!!!



And Im such a great Mum - Josh comes home on Tuesday and tells me he got 20 out of 24 for the test he did....I ask " How come you only got 20?" ( he usually gets higher and thats my excuse!). And he tells me " Mum I got the best mark out of the whole of Year 7 - other kids only got 12 or 13......Yep - Great Mum!!! The good thing was I got to spend yesterday with the gorgeous ANgie and a surprise from Sharon D - YAY for me!!!!!! Four hours goes WAY fast when you are yakking and talking - LOL SO that meant they all had to come to my place last night with Emma and Belynda so we could keep yakking and talking ! I am SO lucky to have met such fabbo mates and that we get to catch up face to face - i just LOVE it!!!! I even got to do some scrapping even though I started off a bit slow.....

Thanks for looking.  I am now off to  do some  groceries for a dinner party  tomorrow night,  chasing kids and sports all day  Saturday and then us girls are  going to  chat and  distract Sharon at her retreat - we are  gate crashing the party!!  Should be a hoot!!!!!

Oops and we are off to Zumba  our butts off tonight!!!

Happy Mothers Day Mum!!!

MY MUm is gorgeous - she always  spies onmy blog and knows what  is happening - HI MUm says Lisa  waving madly!!!  ANYWAY - I made her a little  gift for Mothers Day and have  had to keep it quiet and I couldnt  blog it  because she would see it- well I just got off the phone  from her - we had a lovely  newsy  chat  and she got her parcel this morning.......This is what she got....

Isnt she lucky she got it?  I  could have just  kept it !!

Lucky Im a nice girl!!

A little bit of India

I am having  so much fun with the Postcards  competition  over at Scrapboutique - so far we have been to Italy, France, the US and this weeks  stop is India.  I knew  straight away   which pictures I wanted to scrap.  Our good friends Mitesh and Sueneta got  married in New Zealand and had a  fabulous  Hindu wedding which I just LOVED - so vibrant and beautiful and the women in their saris  just had  me in awe!!!
These photos  are of the wedding couple - the pics arent great but thats what you get for an old  digital camera!

Im going to be working on the May kits  this week  too so  stay tuned!

Kraft it up entry....

The criterion for this months  Kraft it up got me inspired last nght.  My son Joshua who is in this photo is a really  clever  doodler - that is, he loves to doodle!!  The challenge for this month was to  create your own  background on your Kraft - so I  employed the skills of this clever  young Man  to create  the   funky   background and  then I added some  glimmer mist for  some  color.  Given that  he had created  this background - it was only fair that I used it to create a layout about him.  He HATES  this photo  but Ilove it because he NEVER  smiles naturally for photos!!!
Thanks for looking - Have a great day!!

Wishing a happy birthday to.....
