Cheap Chirpin Tuesday!

Cheap Chirpin Tuesday is here again! 
Cheap Chirper #2 for April! 

The Cheap Chirper is: FAKE EYELASHES!

These can be loads of fun in the scrap room! 
You can pick them up at red dot stores for cheap.

Sorry about the photo. Bit flashy.




Now, I'll be honest, I've never worn fake eyelashes EVER but if I did... I would NOT choose ones from a cheap $2 shop... the inferior glue would probably burn my eyes off!
I have enough watery eye trouble with good quality eye make-up.

So they look great with large google eyes. You can trim them for crazy paper doll hair.
Here is one of my examples. 

Now, if you want to join in on the Cheap Chirpin fun, read the rules in last week's post here and make sure you leave a comment here. You could win a choice of prizes including: the months worth of Cheap Chirpers, Cartridges and Peachy Keen Stamps. 

Michelle from My Life as a Wannabe Scrapper won last week and chose Wide Eyed Peachy Keen Stamps...Congrats Michelle! We can't wait to see her creations! PLUS this means that the Cheap Chirpin Prize box has JACKPOTTED! If you comment all this month, you could win ALL the cheap Chirpers from March and April or your choice of prizes! 

Carlene from Me n Miss Pink Cricut will be posting her Cheap Chirper tomorrow as she has a sick bubba at home. 
Hope your little man sleeps well. xx 

But visit her blog tomorrow to see what is being added to the prize box! 

Thanks for all your kind words about my sudden relocation. It is going well and I am still in transition but I am happy to get my blog fix tonight! It was beautiful to read such gorgeous comments and I can't wait to be in my own space creating again! You all put sunshine in my day with your comments and inspirational scrapbooking.

Peachy Keen for a new beginning!

Hi all! I will be missing in action for a little while but stay with me! I have not disappeared!

In one week my life has dramatically changed and I am relocating today to a new town 150km away. I will hopefully settle soon and the first thing I will unpack is a scrap area!

So this is my last creation for a little while. A fitting one. I am going to give this card to the first neighbour I meet in my new town. 

I will arrive in style with two little spunkymonkey boys making lots of boy noise and I can only imagine what the reaction is going to be!   After living on 7 acres, the boys noise decibels reach inaudible levels at times... Living in town, on a small block... hmmmm.....


My poor future neighbours don't know what is coming. lol.

Anyway. I am sad to be leaving but always look on life's curb balls with a positive attitude, so the journey ahead is unknown, daunting but exciting too. 

This card is to enter in Peachy Keen Sketch Challenge #49.  
THE SKETCH

I used Funshine faces for my neighbours and a Retro face for me! 


I also used a makeup sponge to ink the bricks. 
Look at my poor scrap cutting mat! 


 See you soon! My next post will be when Jacob has reached Perth and is having fun with Carlene at Me n' Miss Pink Cricut!




Thanks Peachy Keen Challenge blog for always giving me the perfect reason to scrap!

100 Follower Celebration Smiles Challenge Winner Annouced!

Thank you so much for joining my Smiles challenge everyone! I love seeing people smile and making people smile and all my followers and comments certainly do that! I love my Blogworld!

I can not believe that Blogger will only let me follow 300 people max and I have reached my limit!!!! Who are they to judge how fast I can read and comment! (And I do get around to most blogs often!) So I will find a way to fix that dilemma and keep following awesome people.

Anyhow, here is 22 reasons to smile.



















 See all the fabulous creators by clicking their links in this post: HERE  

I am such a typical indecisive Libra star sign and can not pick a winner. Random org is a good friend to me. I would use it to decide my clothes, or my food, or anything that required me to make a decision if I could! 

I would give everyone prizes if I could! The winner is: 


Email me your address and I will send you Zooballoo and the matching Peachy Keen Set ABC Animal Faces! 

Congratulations!

200 follower celebration isn't too far away!

Thanks for making the world smile ladies!

I haven't had much time in the last few days for scrapping. There's cool challenges I wanted to enter and blog fun to be had, but I have been traveling about and busy with all kinds of things... Life Happens. But I don't feel right if I don't create something often. So I made myself a little uplifting gift to sit on my cupboard. The next few weeks ahead are a little daunting, a lot on my plate, so I wanted to remind myself of what I believe in and that I can do it.




 It was just a quick easy cricut fix, using a gorgeous stamp from  www.stitchystamps.blogspot.com called Sparkles. And I love her picture so much. It is something I say to myself often, as I am a 'can do' person who can sometimes get too much on my plate, but I get through it, I survive and I smile. I wouldn't swap any of it for the world. Speaking of smiles: 

I'm glad our Jacob Hot Blog Hop is underway. Everyone loves a good laugh.

Check out Erin's post for a giggle here!

And then Carlene's post here!


Poor Jacob, squished into a postbag in some postal trolley right now. lol.

Haunted House Designs Macabre Monday!

Laughter is the best medicine and cheaper than revenge! That's my theory for entering this week's Macabre Monday at Haunted House Designs. 

My husbands snoring has been so bad lately I think the little voices in my head are beginning to talk to me, Lol. Lack of sleep really plays with a person's sense of wellbeing. 

So I made him a little card for his pillow tonight. 

So he can sleep with one eye open all night and step into my sleepless slippers for a while. 


I was so excited to find out yesterday that I had won last week's Dastardly Diva challenge, and a gift voucher to one Barbara Jensen's stores. You should really check out her work here at her store for digital stamps. 

I was already working on my Haunted Design House entry, when I saw Barb's stamps and my card started to look LAME!!!! 

So I used one of the images I won. This little cutie is called Bashful. Barb speedily sent it to me yesterday and I got working in PhotoShop and Publisher hacking up clip pictures of a bed and a man, splattering it all in cyber blood underneath Miss Bashful. 

Thanks for a fun challenge. I also won a really hot image by Barb called BAD GIRL!!! I can't wait till Haunted Design House posts a challenge I can use that stamp for! HAWT!!!


3 more days left in my Smile Challenge to win a Zooballoo cart and matching Peachy Keens!
