ok so the layouts for last months EMMIES are floating around this post. I am quite happy with them. I love the Floating market one, that was the challenge pack for June which I was delighted to find out that I won!!!! how excitement!!! we had a sketch challenge which is TWO party, BOM which was of our school memories, I did mine on one of my high school teachers and the impact she had on me!!! we also had to do a layout using flowers and "blinging" them up, that is my butterfly layout. I also have three layouts that I am in the middle of so will share them when I am done.
In scrapbook city news -Alicia Barry has left the SC design Team which was a shock and I have to say I am really sad. she has worked so hard and contributed so much and I will miss her heaps. Thank you Alicia for inspiring and encouraging me and I wish you all the best with your scrapping endeavours and with your gorgeous family, take care.
Alicia started up a blog challenge to talk about someone's work that inspires you. I went blog surfing and found someone. Her name is Tammy Templeton I have had contact with her briefly on scrapboxx a while a go and have always admired her work. I was having a look at Aussie scrapjacked and noticed that she is a DT member there so clicked on her link and checked out her blog. her layouts are gorgeous. they are always so bright and happy, she has the grooviest eye for colour in design and I love how her layouts are colourful, fun and busy but not too busy IYKWIM. I haven't left a comment for her cause I kind of felt like I was stalking her but i have pm'd her on scrapboxx a while ago to tell her I loved her work so I think that is near enough so go and check her blog/ work out if you want, it is very cool!!!

http://my-scrapbook-nook.blogspot.com/Another thing that I discovered while Blog surfing was a post on Zina Wrights Blog about how she displays her children's art and she posed the question what is the grooviest way that yuo have displayed your kids work. Like Zina I love art and particularly children's art. So I thought that I would answer Zina's question with photos of how Jazzy and Ethan's creations are displayed here, I took some photos last week and went to retrieve them from the camera before and My DH has taking the memory card with those pics on it out of the camera so i will have to take some more of track the memory card down!!! So in the next few days you will be treated to a visual smorgasboard of Art art art!!! LOL. I would love to pass on the challenge so if you have your kids art on display at home somewhere even if it is a folder in the cupboard tell me about it or show me. Seriously check out Zina's blog the post I am talking about was on June 27th and is titled Art makes me happy.
Finally, thanks to my gorgeous friend (you know who you are!!!) that msn'd me tonight (friday night) we had a lovely chat and it was perfect timing because I was feeling sooky bored and lonely and she brightened my night!!! I am so totally blessed and fortunate to have had this amazing person come into my life "mwahh" to you girl, you rock (LOL)!!!!!!
Anyway gotta love and leave you, arrrggghhhh it is 12:30pm I have to go to bed!!!
Thanks for popping in,
Tam xoxoxox

Unfortunately the detail in the title (dimensional magic and 3-D effect didn't really show up in the photos but you get the picture. The handstitching was fun and turned out nicely too!!
