It's Grandfianl time again

Hamish's team had a great win on Sunday and have now earn't a weeks rest as they are straight into the Grandfinal on the 12th.

Two othe Gullies teams have also made it straight into the Grandfinal, let's hope we are all at the same ground, it will be awesome if we are.

It's finals time.

Hamish's team has finished minor premiers this year, the boys are begining to become experienced for finals footy with two premierships in the previous two years. Five other junior Gullies teams have also made the finals this year. So it will be a big weekend for the club this weekend, hopefully we will have at least two of our teams playing at the same venue.

Brandon's 18's Gullies team lost their grandfinal yesterday and it was difficult for Brandon to sit on the bench and watch. Hopefully when we see the surgeon later on this week he will just advise physio and rest. He now has pre-season to look forward to. On the positive side he now has more time for his year 12 studies.

100 Games layout

Hamish recently played his 100th junior game for the Gullies. He shared the day with 3 of his team mates Jake, Matt and Cameron. It was a big game against Walkerville who has previously beaten us on Mother's day, but this time the result went our way and the boys were able to celebrate their 100th game in style.

I have used the sketch form Ingeborg's scrapbooking competitions, which is also a page maps sketch.

July updates

It's been a busy month so far. It started off with Taylor turning 16 and for her birthday I took her to Melbourne for a couple of days of retail therpy. We had a great time and got a lot of shopping in. On return from Melbourne Taylor ventured off to motor registration to get her L's and now she is wanting to drive any chance she gets.

Football season is coming to an end....well the minor round is. Brandon will play finals for Tea Tree Gully 18's and they need to win the first final to stay in the hunt. He has been playing well in recent weeks. He gave us a bit of a scare last Sunday as we feared he had fractured his jaw, but thankfully x-rays at this stage have ruled this out and it appears he has strained the ligaments on the left hand side of his jaw. He is only able to eat soft foods as it still is painful to chew. Hamish's team is sitting on top of the ladder and will definately play finals and should finish the minor round on top as they are 3 games clear of the two teams in second spot.

Taylor has commenced certificate 3 in retail through bakers delight and on completeion of this course the points she gaisn can go towards her 200 points required for the SACE.

Craig has returned to work after 3 1/2 months of long service leave....and no he did not complete all the jobs that he wanted to....but he did have a good rest from work.

Scrapping has been a bit on the back burner in the last couple of months. But I managed to complete all the challenges at the recent CC at Chook Scraps. The theme was Harry Potter.

This layout of Hamish was for challenge #3 which was a sketch designed by Lorraine. The photo was taken of Hamish when he played mini league earlier this year.

This layout was for challenge #2 and the criteria was
use a proper nun in the title (Harry Potter's name is always used in the title)
some stars to represent the magic in Harry Potter's books
some purple as it is often connected to magic


Challenge #4 was the card challenge and I choose to use the colours of Slytherin....using only green and silver

Challenge #1 was a spell and the spell criteria was

one of cardstock, two of paper'

three of ribbon and use a stapler

add some stamping and some bling

and some flowers and some inking

hubba, bubba, cut and paste

mix and stir, then finish post haste.

Yes our cat Milo does rule our house...she has such a tough life...NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you are after some inspiration for scrapping why not check out the non sketch challenges or the sketch challenges or you may like to check out the card challenge at Chook scraps.

Happy 16th Birthday Taylor

I can't believe that Taylor is now 16....wow has that time flown by quickly. I hope you have a great day....

Nearly 16

I seem to have neglected my blog in recent times....just not enought time in a day at the moment. It is also awhile since I have scrapped....hopefully this will resolve in the near future...

On Monday Taylor will celebrate her 16th birthday....where has that time gone....and she is eagerly looking forward to it as it also means she can get her L's....mcuh to her older brother's disgust she will now be driving him and her younger brother to their footy games....she's ken to go to footy now...

Just thought I would share a few of my layouts that have featured Taylor, and the final layout is off Brandon and his friends from his school formal. I thought they all scrubbed up very nicely.
