Bad Blogger

I've been a bad blogger lately, I've been so busy getting things ready for my New Zealand holiday as well as looking after my niece that I've forgotten to get on and blog.

Have decided that I'm going to do things my way and going to start getting back into what I love doing which is creating layouts, using my smashbooks and Sn@p albums... I'm not going to get hung up in Project Life as I've realised it's just not for me it's time to do what makes me happy. I'm going to do a monthly album but not going to get too hung up on it. I've been creating layouts and having fun doing them again. 

I will leave you with a sneak of a layout I've done for Scrap The Girls April challenge, you will have to wait till the 1st April to see it all 

Scrap The Girls March Challenge

The Challenge for March over at Scrap The Girls is to:

use  hearts and/or doilies somewhere on your layout


The DT were lucky to get sent a heart to use on there from Charm's Creations, who is also a sponsor this month.

I had fun doing this layout, the background is patterned paper from the Wild & Free Collection by Glitz

Scrap The Girls February Challenge is up

The challenge for February is up over at Scrap The Girls be sure to go and check it out, great challenge this month.

Here is my layout I did for the challenge

So much happening

This year I plan on blogging more and just letting everything out of my head.

This month has had its up and downs already, was going pretty good, till I got a call from a detective in Newcastle in regards to an incident that happened to me when I was 14, so 25 years ago, her call was so unexpected and brought back some really bad memories. I met with her and her partner on the 15th & 16th January, on the Wednesday mum came with me and they separated us and one took mum's statement while the other took mine, on Thursday dad came with me and he gave his statement to one of them while I finished giving my statement to the other detective. I was so mentally and emotionally drained at the end of both days and all the bad memories had come up again and brought to the front, I had put it all in the back of my mind till then. I now just have to wait to find out when the trial will be and go to court.

This year I decided I was going to do Project Life properly and instead of monthly do weekly, I am really enjoying it and am up to date, here are my spreads up to week 3

Also there is a new challenge up over at Scrap the Girls, with a really easy sketch, I decided to do a layout about my One Little Word, Nourish. Which I'm finding really is the right word for me this year, here is my layout

Also there is a new challenge over at The Scrapbooking Hut, the challenge is to scrap a layout about your pet, here is my layout
