Happy Birthday
from Google to John Lennon....
I love the music from the Beatles and some of John Lennon's latest stuff.... so good to hear a few being played on the radio now and then.

The little book on the left has all the concert posters in it and will eventually also contain my journalling.

School @ Scrapbook Nook
Yes in my madness in September I had also signed up to attend "school" at the Scrapbook Nook website.... well sad to say I flunked out after only two assignments. Classes were hectic here and sometimes there were three deadlines on the same day... I just felt very swamped very quickly... plus with all my other busy-ness going on I didn't feel I could do these challenges any justice. Here though is what I did manage to do:
Class 1 - Graphic Arts
Class 2 - Economics
I did keep tabs on the rest of the classes here and might very well attempt some of the challenges in the future.

Scrap-U Report Back
School is now officially over at Scrap Friendzy.... there were LOTS of fun challenges, games to play and layouts to create.... unfortunately I didn't manage to do nearly as much as I would have liked, but maybe next time will be better. Here is what I did manage to create:
You can see all my Pre-Assignmentz here
Class Assignments
1: {Music} - we had to create our own music paper and then use it as an embellishment.... I used mine in the border as well as for some flower centres. I also stamped music all over the background.
2. {Home Economics} - use fabric and make a flower... well I made a few! Plus we had to do stitching
Extra Credit Assignments
1. {FOREIGN LANGUAGE}- we had to make a layout and give it a title using a foreign language... well I chose Italian seeing as my layout was all about pizza.... Delizioso means "Yummy"
After School Activities
1. {Football} - here we had to add texture and do some lacing so my thoughts immediately went to school shoes!
2. {Dance} - for this task we had to choose a choreographer and scraplift her layout... I chose one from Michelle van Wyk.
3. {FieldTrip} - the task was to raid your scrap stash and photograph one item for each letter of the alphabet... I think I did a pretty awesome job.
And that was that for Scrap-U for me.... I loved it and had lots of fun.

Sketches: Creatively Yours... layout 17 & 18
My term at Sketches: Creatively Yours has come to an end.... and as a bonus there are two layouts to show you this week:
Head over to the blog to see the original sketches as well as what the design team came up with.
The other bit of news is that Sketches: Creatively Yours is taking a bit of a break.... Ali needs to spend some time sorting out family and other commitments so is taking 6 months off... but she will be back in March with a new design team call.
