Art Journal Challenge - Week Forty Four...

Easy! This card was fun!

The prompt for this week: "home"

Im a bit of a gypsie! I live in Narrabeen with my boyfriend Matty, however I drive 2 hours away to Katoomba where I work and stay with my parents during my days at work, so I kind of have two homes..
(not for long though... now that im having a baby, i'll soon be finishing up working for my parents then i'll be calling Narrabeen by 'full time' home!)

This was a fun card to create...

The prompt for this week: "sCaRy!"

I knew I'd have to make a card on my little halloween witches!! My mum bought them for me a few years ago for 50cents each! I had decided if I got any trick'n'treat kids, i'd give them eatch a little witch... um, so.. i had to pack them away for next halloween as noone knocked on my door!

Art Journal Challenge - Week Forty Two...

This was cool!! I actually made this one back in October but I never posted it as I had written that I went to see the obstrecian and I was still keeping quiet about my pregnancy way back in october!

The prompt for this week: "a grateful week"

I think this card speaks for itself...

So.. As you can see from the previous post... I liked this post and knew exactly where I wanted to go...

hahaha, silly me!
I actually did the week 41 prompt twice..

The prompt for this week: "not anymore"

I actually made this for the "magic carpet" prompt but I figured I could use it for this one too.... Matty and I went to Hamilton Island a few years ago on a holiday! Matty actually WON the accommodation, so it really was a great trip! We've wanted to go again since however, the price is way too extreme.. thats where the "not anymore" comes in... I dont think we'll be going there again in a while! Boohoo! :)

The prompt for this week: "someone spesh! (special that is)"

Easy! My good friend Daria gave birth to her gorgeous little boy 13 weeks early. He weighed 870grams when he was born.
You should see him now! Six months old and a happy, healthy and gorgeous little baby!! He's so special!

Art Journal Challenge - Week Thirty Five...

I went a little different than the theme this week!!

The prompt for this week: "strength"

however... I didnt go with the prompt this week.. as I had my excitement of being published for the 1st time in a scrapbooking magazine so i wanted that recorded onto a card

Again... I let myself and my creative juices down on this card.. I dont like the final outcome of it at all.. but its a great memory to have recorded and for that i am happy!!!
