<br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Without any further delay I present to you my beautiful new niece Penelope Lee Simmonds. Penelope arrived on August 5<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">th</span> 2011 weighing in at a healthy 6Lb 12Oz into the arms of her loving parents <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Bec</span> (my sister) and Lee.</span>
<br /><span style="font-family: arial;">After what seemed like the impossible they were finally blessed with the most delightful and gorgeous baby girl.</span>

<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Many apologies to all that pop past my blog and see that nothing has been updated or added in so long, but as per always life is flat chat with heaps happening.</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">So to get back into the swing of things, I have a few projects to share that I created for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Twiddleybitz</span>. They attended the Perth <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Papercraft</span> Expo in July and this is what I created:</span>

<br />
<br /><span style="font-family: arial;">To create these <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">ATC's</span> I used the following products:</span>
<br />

<br />
<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The next 2 layouts are so different to each other. I thought that creating 2 totally different style layouts would show how versatile the ever so yummy <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Twiddleybitz</span> chipboard is to use.</span>

They are all for the shop (aka Scrappers Delite) where I am teaching every Friday night. If you are in the area and see something that catches you eye, then be sure to contact the girls at the shop on (03) 9335 1100 to enquire further.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUu2pmuRZ6-ST11Mlm3DrbTKcIqnMqM65xxcp9el6jtSkM67-sNeheiWpd2wXYo75ifjPhyphenhyphenxrPg4u_GTJlrY71jRL_r2XDxSvbPsDtp1Ywrer-ChmZSDYVulOAZmnuL8WiA-9Ks8Y_MrE/s1600/Picture+096.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUu2pmuRZ6-ST11Mlm3DrbTKcIqnMqM65xxcp9el6jtSkM67-sNeheiWpd2wXYo75ifjPhyphenhyphenxrPg4u_GTJlrY71jRL_r2XDxSvbPsDtp1Ywrer-ChmZSDYVulOAZmnuL8WiA-9Ks8Y_MrE/s400/Picture+096.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593964670013453186" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;">Shadow Box and Card for Mothers Day</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Class is being held on: <span style="font-weight: bold;">Friday 6th May 2011 at 7:30pm</span></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1v08pMA_OMioW41S4loXZbF76HeXIifQzTY9SZZX9-8Vm6fLq_FhNnKiuYGYbkqnhnKMpClX4QvvZs6lPvKeKMRd3pN5NIHD-3O5fzBgtNvnpVUUF_G5yYB76_lvgYgHFd6nejEujyOw/s1600/Picture+097.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1v08pMA_OMioW41S4loXZbF76HeXIifQzTY9SZZX9-8Vm6fLq_FhNnKiuYGYbkqnhnKMpClX4QvvZs6lPvKeKMRd3pN5NIHD-3O5fzBgtNvnpVUUF_G5yYB76_lvgYgHFd6nejEujyOw/s400/Picture+097.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593964565790987554" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family: arial;">And this next sneak peek is for my class coming up this Friday night at 7:30pm.</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Bookings are essential so be sure to give the girls at the shop<br /> a call on (03) 9335 1100</span><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFBdUH2QoTFA0BVDUVM1ZRUreMhkh7wTASehgXmQJl-fbicLdvU7jHfTu5OeRyOZZKpNByP-CHWxJ1Q3LvnTCWY1vnHJvOoO7AplkOxdpf0Bxu1KciiyATHBvxYKx8HNrrPFkX34mSmbk/s1600/Picture+100.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFBdUH2QoTFA0BVDUVM1ZRUreMhkh7wTASehgXmQJl-fbicLdvU7jHfTu5OeRyOZZKpNByP-CHWxJ1Q3LvnTCWY1vnHJvOoO7AplkOxdpf0Bxu1KciiyATHBvxYKx8HNrrPFkX34mSmbk/s400/Picture+100.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593964481024001954" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family: arial;">Anyhow that is all for now, but be sure to check back soon as I have some </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">VERY EXCITING NEWS</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> that I am hanging to share.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Until next time, take care of you and happy scrapping.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Mwah Karen xox</span><br /></div>Karen McLauchlanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16688823153374704448noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8015150288749989876.post-28986806918133919142011-04-01T07:57:00.003+11:002011-04-01T07:59:57.783+11:00Time to update and start blogging again!!<span style="font-family: arial;">Hello Everyone,</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">My sincere apologies for neglecting my blog, but stay tuned as I am in the process of changing some design elements and bringing a newer and brighter blog to you all.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Take care of you and until next time, happy scrapping!!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Karen xox</span>Karen McLauchlanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16688823153374704448noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8015150288749989876.post-901696367773213132010-07-29T09:53:00.004+10:002010-07-29T10:13:55.246+10:00Sketch 210 at Scrapbook Challenges...<p align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">Sketch 210 has be revealed and again I can share another layout that I am really happy with!! Pamela's work behind the scenes on creating these amazing sketches for us all to use is the perfect way to get the "MOJO" happening. I love that this sketch has a basis for numerous pictures to be scrapped and being a scrapbooker that usually uses only 1 or 2 pictures on a layout, scrapping up this sketch proved easier that I thought.</span></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">So what are you waiting for....get your "MOJO" happening and start creating.
