.. for another post me thinks. I seem tobe a bit slack at this blogging thing again but I do think I go thru stages like that.
Anyway thank you so much to all the wonderful people who left me comments last time, very much appreciated. I have a few questions that need answering from then so will try to do that in this post too.
Thank you for the comments on my last lo I shared, when I flick thru my album it is still my most favourite page. Some of youasked about the cardboard background – well I just ripped a cardboard box up and ripped some of the outside layer off to expose the corrugated bit and then did some dry painting on it in a few pale colours. I am really loving the whole cardboard look at the mo so am thinking it may feature on some of my pages soon. Oh and Trace the title letters are ‘bella chipz’ or something similar about $5 a packet from Spotlight.
Oh and thank you so much for the lovely words on the painting done for Janine, anyone wanting something done just ask and we can discuss it. I’m not the fastest painter so could take a while though. If you scroll back thru my blog there are a few that I do have available for sale at the mo. About April/May there is a Kowhai one and a Tulip one. Okay now I sound like a pushy car salesman rofl.
Right what else do I have to waffle on about. Maybe some scrapping to share. The first 3 are all for SBD, 2 for bossy scrapper which is so much fun and is happening again this Sunday night so come check it out if you haven’t already and one for the quick fire challenge.
Wasn’t I just the cutest wee gal – that’s me when I was about 8. I so remember that dress – love the pointy cuffs lol
And this lo was just because – I heard the Nik Kershaw song on the radio and at that particular time it really spoke to me so just had to do a lo on it. Oh and Mrs Mummy moo don’t you dare comment on my photo rofl. I have some new ones – I just like these at the moment hehe
Well that’s me for now, who knows when I will be back to blog again – could be tomorrow could be next week lol. Thanks again to all my lovely scrappy friends – you gals rock!!!

Great layouts, Roo!! I love that song – harking back to my days of playing 80’s music non-stop! Great lyrics and catchy tune

Hey Roo, it appears we are the same vintage (I turned 8 in 1975). Must have been a good year eh?
I really, really, really love your style of scrapping and would like to emulate it. Would say copy, but emulate sounds flasher, haha.
So how do you get that torn paper look you do? Just tear the paper, or is there a special technique? That is what I would like to do on mine.

Hey chick, your painting rocks and the worth is totally worth it. Had a giggle at the Nik Kershaw song, man I loved the music in the 80’s. Loveing your layouts in the bossy scrapper and now I know your cardboard secret. Very cool.

wooo look at those pointy collars!
I am enjoying your style of LOs… I think it’s the way you’ve framed stuff with the corners and paper strips. Appeals to my sense of aesthetic.

Nice to hear from you Roo. Loving the layouts and I had a paisley dress similar with the pointy collars but that was in the 70’s!!! LOL

Hi ya buddy … you’ve been a busy wee scrapper … awesome. So when do we get to see your ‘new’ pics on a layout … eh???? Mind you in saying that, nothing wrong with the one that you just scrapped either!!
Loved the journalling on Jaymin’s layout about the pamphlets …

OMG!OMG! that was one of my favouritest songs back in teh day. It freaks me out completely now when DJs say MY songs are now 20 odd years old…. that sooooo can’t be right!!
Totally loving the look in your scrapping right now – really has that X quality – raw, real, freespirited…. FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC I don’t know, but I see a real confidence with it ….if that even makes any sense whatsoever LOL
