Inspired by a CD challenge at Pixel Canvas!

The more than inspiring Vinnie Pearce has come up with another amazing challenge to get our creative juices flowing!!! "Inspired by a CD cover" http://pixelcanvas.co.nz/forum/showthread.php?t=2080 I made 2 pages and would do more if my time management skills were - well existant! LOL! I absolutely love this challenge as you can be as creative as you like! Anyway, here are my pages and beside them the CD I was inspired by:
Coldplay - X&Y



I made a template for this Cold Play one and would love to share it - as it was fun doing this and well, I made it I might as well share it! If Chris Martin (Cold Play fabulous singer) comes here and has a dig though, I might have to remove it!! LOL! But I hope it's OK! Anyway, link: http://www.4shared.com/file/207877812/516d109/_2__COLDPLAY_TEMPLATE_by_Suzie.html - but you can only take it if you upload to the Pixel Canvas gallery so we can all see it!!! http://www.pixelcanvas.co.nz/



Nirvana - Nevermind:


Do have a play - it really is so much fun!

Take care my lovlies and happy Australia Day!!!!!!

I know I know I am getting slack again! Hardly anyone looks here so I am not sure i will carry this on! Not that I ever thought anyone would look here! Just a bit of work that I can do without right now!!! Well - that was probably a bit strong! Anyway - so the fabulous Vinnie Pearce has released a new kit called "Cute and Wild" - in absolute classical Vinnie style.

GEORGE'S YEAR OF BEING 2!!!

Yeah bit behind I know!!! LOL! He's now almost 10!

So each year I write a few words about George and Thomas' year. I have been meaning to digi-tize them for ages and this is my first..........well, actually it's my second! The first was actually published in Scrapbooking memories magazine in April - but I am too embarassed to show that one! It was my very very first attemp at digital! It was just photos and journaling so no supplies! I didn't even know this magical digital world existed then!!! LOL!

And when they turn 21 the plan is to give them a photobook with them all in - well it'll probably be a virtual album by then and I will have to re-do all the pages!! LOL!

Anyway, back to this! So this is George age 2 in 2002-3.

DREADFUL ME!!!

See I have only just got a mobile phone! I leave it switched on and leave it on the front seat of my car always. People ring me - sometimes - and they text me! But they realise that I am so dreadful at looking at the darn thing! I am still just not used to it! It's not like I have to use the thing - not like I am an addicted teenager! And let's face it - isn't it quicker to email than text???!!! Takes me ages to type on the silly little tiniest micro-ist keypad in the world!!

I had to recharge the thing yesterday as I was meeting a friend at the beach - that takes longer than 5 minutes - far too long! Don't they have super-chargers these days??? LOL! Anyway, I switched it on and all these text messages came up! All saying happy new year! How sweet! Gorgeous friends I have! All sent on 1st Jan just after midnight! Well I say "all" by this I mean 3 - a lot for me!!! So I replied saying "Happy New Year 2011!! As it is probably closer to 2011 by the time I read them! LOL!

Anyway, so I am awful! Dreadful. terrible! Not only with mobile phones but with this blog. I knew it! I knew I would be slack! I am the same with emails! And Face Book and Twitter and Linkedin??? FORGET IT!!! Imagine...........! So I have about 5 pages I have done and the idea was to upload them! I'm the same with loading into any other gallery other than Pixel Canvas! I wait until I have 5 pages to post and then upload them all to all the other galleries I have! See just so hopelessly terribly dreadful! Useless I think is the word!

So, without further adoooooooo here are my latest pages (that's if anyone reads this - I am merrily ticking myself off here as no one will know! I can say anything here! I can tell my deepest darkest secrets and no one will know as no one will read this! Not sure why I started a blog! I think just coz everyone does.................!)
