Layouts and Projects....

What a week it has been - in the last 7 days I have travelled over 1500km, all involving three trips from home to somewhere. The first was last weekend, heading up to Perth with scrappin buddies for a workshop with Becky Fleck - how lucky do I feel! We created some awesome projects designed by Becky and fell in love with her as a person.








Next was a trip to Narrogin for work ( a 400km round trip) and then a trip to Dumbleyung for my awesome Year 6/7s students to perform in the Lakes Speech and Drama Festival - they were awesome winning 1st prrize for Choral Speaking. This afternoon I am going to do a little scrappin and tomorrow I am going to do a few card and colour challenges in between lunch with one fo the towns Lions - I am joining, feel the need to do some service!

When I looked at the Crazy4Challenges sketch this week I immediately saw a window - so Tilda is sitting on the window frame backed with velum. The scalloped frame is left ovre from a card I made Friday night - I acceidently cut a scallop circle when I should have cut a plain circle so had the scallop frame left over once I cut the circle out of the scalloped circle.....did that make sense...lol
