So far since I have been Therapy Mum the most hits we have had on any one day is 168 (from different ip addresses). The value of the prize pack will start at $16.80 and will increase by $10 for every 100 hits the site gets above and beyond 168 on any given day, in other words if on Saturday we get 1068 independant hits the value of the pack will be $106.80. Just in case someone knows something I dont about increasing hits however the prize will be limited at $200.00. You can see how our hit count is going by clicking the Scraplounge icon at the bottom of the page. EVERYONE who posts any post in any of the cybercrop links over the weekend will go into the draw to win this pack. It will be a random draw. ANYONE who posts can win, so if you are here make sure you at least say hello. On Sunday night we will be announcing our new MANUFACTURER OF THE MONTH for August. I cant tell you who it is but I can tell you that the products in the prize pack are ALL NEW CHA RELEASES from that manufacturer. To record a hit, all we have to do is pop ANYWHERE into the site and have a look - so tell everyone you know to pop in, including but not limited to --- your Mum and Dad, your live away from home kids, your friends, your penpals and all the other people you know who have internet connections and even the ones you dont. All I ask is that you dont offend any other scrapping sites by posting links on their forums. So start telling your friends and we will see how we go!!! </div>Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01231478776868554237noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31382156.post-27015573015554596672008-08-01T14:55:00.003+08:002008-08-01T15:11:54.516+08:00Come and cyber crop with the therapy girls<div align="center">Yes we are <a href="http://www.scraptherapy.com.au/forum/viewforum.php?f=141">cyber cropping</a> this weekend and all the fun is just a few short hours away.</div><br /><div align="center">1 little therapists challenge</div><br /><div align="center">3 layout challenges</div><br /><div align="center">1 card challenge</div><br /><div align="center">1 game</div><br /><div align="center">will all get posted tonight then</div><br /><div align="center">bingo and blind scrapping with last months cc superstar Christine on Saturday night.</div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">There are some hints up already so pop on over and see just what you will need ifyou want to join in on the fun.</div><br /><div align="center">Being the first of the month all the new monthly challenges have gone up too.</div><div align="center">Here is my page for the inspiration challenge</div><br /><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229441353856692818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_pvG_Pn5xhDA/SJK1NF5dslI/AAAAAAAACW0/T4g8-neiEy4/s400/level+one+finally.jpg" border="0" /></div><br /><p align="center">and a page from a card mag that I got the inspiration from.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229441362300873762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_pvG_Pn5xhDA/SJK1NlWtrCI/AAAAAAAACW8/GJTwTU2W9zk/s400/Inspiration+pic+august+001.jpg" border="0" /> Thanks Trudi I so love the book.

I so can't wait to share with you all tomorrow my page for next weeks song as it is a fav of mine. I hope you can come along and play with me and thanks to those few who have. </div><div align="center">Over at The scrapbook shelf Trudi posted the 2nd challenge forthe slice of life comp. To scrap a layout with a picture. lol If I had ESP I wouldn't of scrapped my angel a week or so ago but I managed to pull it of with a layout on how fussy Asger is getting with what she will wear. Boy it is a drama and it is getting to the point where I can't just buy her anything without her being there.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227611603796731266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_pvG_Pn5xhDA/SIw1DnwDpYI/AAAAAAAACVc/di8gtz-KTVw/s400/Fussy.jpg" border="0" /></div></div><br /></div><div align="center">Trudi and the girls also had a FNF on as well. Boy was I busy on Friday night going between two parties so to speak. My fingers sure did get a work out. lol</div><div align="center">The challenge for that was to get inspiration from an add anddo a 12 by 12 page. I worked on my page on Friday night in between chatting at both parties and had finished it but wasn't that happy with it. Rather than leave it as it was I decided to add some stamping to it and stuffed it up. So I ended up turning my 12 by 12 into a 6 by 12, mounting it onto another 12 by 12 base and then salvaging what I could from the bad 6 by 12 and adding it to the new 12. In the end I totally love how it has turned out.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227611600046619826" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_pvG_Pn5xhDA/SIw1DZx9fLI/AAAAAAAACVU/4lBVXj7ihOQ/s400/Big+day+out.jpg" border="0" /></div><div align="center">For those of you that are locals here is a sneek peek at a layout that I will be teaching at Just scrapbooking next Sunday.

Since Wednesday night I have done 2 singles, non of which I can share just yet, a double, my first for the year which I can't share, 2 cards and taken a heap of pics.</div><div align="center">Here is a pic of my little swimmer with her level one certificate.

We were having a pj day as is our normal thing on a Sunday lately. Anyway we picked up her dancing concert dvd from last year durring the week and she wanted to watch it. I went in there to check up on her after a while and she had on half her dancing queen costume over the top of her pj's and dressie.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219897565983392626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_pvG_Pn5xhDA/SHDNLhhdw3I/AAAAAAAACRc/m663x9b7BjQ/s400/Pj+dancing+queen+july+6th+08+010.jpg" border="0" />Here she is telling me I have to call her the Queen.lol She wishes.

I can't wait to see your boxes.</p><p align="center">Has been a big week here at home with Asher having a pediatrian appointment. Asher's teacher had picked up a few issues at school that she felt needed seeing into and after the visit we have to go and have some tests done but it looks as though our girl may have a special personality. Nothing definate yet as the doc didn't want to say much with out all the test info but it looks as if she may have ADHD tendancies. We couldn't get into get the testing done till August but I am doing a bit of reserach on the net about diet and plan on changing a few things here at home.</p><p align="center">I haven't forgotten about spilling my secret. lol I can't yet but any day now I'll be able to.

We went out for lunch down near the river on Saturday. I've scrapped a bit and we also attacked the garden a little today. lol it needs a whole lot more though.</div><div align="center">Here are a few of the photos I've taken over the weekend.</div><div align="center">We have early closing at school every Friday at 1.00 and when Asher got home she changed her clothes. Now here it is winter and although the days have been sunny here it is still cold and guess what she picks to wear. Shorts and tshirt. Go figure she goes to school with a jumper on durring the week and leaves it on all day but will live in shorts and tshirt on the weekends if I let her.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214696508030761874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_pvG_Pn5xhDA/SF5S2Gyku5I/AAAAAAAACO4/3Y4aRB7GYvY/s400/Summer+girl+in+winter+June+08+010.jpg" border="0" /></div><div align="center">I took these next few pics down by the river.

Lots of laughs and some fun challenges both of which I managed to do.</p><p align="center">The card challlenge was to use circles and I cut out some from a sheet of Scenic Route paper and turned them into some trees. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214704280957857026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_pvG_Pn5xhDA/SF5Z6jMzrQI/AAAAAAAACQA/kzx6bUHkMtc/s400/Hope+you+feel+better+soon.jpg" border="0" />The layout challenge really got me thinking. We had to use 1 cardstock,1 piece of pp, a 1 word title,1 length of ribbon and 1 embellie. I cheated a little as my flower looked bare with out a center so added a button.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214702949250127394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_pvG_Pn5xhDA/SF5YtCM8ViI/AAAAAAAACP4/HqM4DIqOHG4/s400/xmas+07.jpg" border="0" /></p><div align="center">I also had some even better news but I can't spill just yet but have been having a few laughs with the girls over at Therapy as they have been trying to guess what it is.

There is still a few days to get a scrapping if you have a favorite layout in the gallery and there is a post prize up for grabs from Nat too. This is the layout that I lifted<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212105864373809618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_pvG_Pn5xhDA/SFUeqzG7MdI/AAAAAAAACOI/CjuoZYZ9IdM/s400/normal_TOADSTOOLS.jpg" border="0" />a gorgeous page by Mandy.</div><div align="center">When Asher and I went on our photo shoot a few weekends ago she came across some toadstool and I managed to snap a few pics of her with them before she ran of.

Wasn't funny then though. I was talking to Asher's teachers at school on Thursday about and incident that happened on Wednseday. They came across her stuborn side in a major way. They were doing an art activity and had to scrunch up paper and collage it. Nothing too hard. Asher did three, pushed her chair away from the table and sat with her arms folded in front of her and refused to do anymore. No amount of talking to would change her mind. In the end she was taken over to see her pre primary teacher who she gets on well with, still refusing, threatened with calling Dad and even that didn't change her mind. In the end she was taken up to the office and the headmaster had a word with her she came back to the class to do it but by this time everyone had finished so she had to stay in at recess on Thursday to do it. All through it though she wasn't upset at all not even one tear. The thought of having to go to the headmasters office didn't phase her at all the loveable cheeky little sod. The funny thing was before all this happened it was decided that she was going to get an honour certificate on Friday morning. Which she ended up getting. I pretty sure if it hadn't of been sorted out before for little episode she wouldn't of gotten it.</div><div align="center">Anyway that is all from me for now so as always thanks for popping by and any comment that you leave and till next time happy scrapping and see you in Therapy.</div>Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01231478776868554237noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31382156.post-57699051744027772632008-06-01T22:58:00.010+08:002008-06-02T00:54:24.220+08:00I'm so excited<div align="center">My good news continues.</div><div align="center">No it is not anymore comp wins something better than that. </div><div align="center">On Monday I came home from work to a nice email for SC asking for my April photo shoot to use in a technique quick grabs gallery.</div><div align="center">On Tuseday I came home to a very nice email from Lusi Austin asking me to be a part of a top ten chabby chic article she is putting together for SC.</div><div align="center">On Thursday I got a very very nice email from the people over at Paper Trends asking for my card that I had done up for the Hero Arts envelop challenge.

All the challenge are posted <a href="http://www.scraptherapy.com.au/forum/viewforum.php?f=133&sid=e1d690901b121dbcc150304dbfb4304b">here</a>. </div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">It was my turn to set the card challenge this month and this is what I came up with to fit in with our monthly friends theme.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5196492235117857106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_pvG_Pn5xhDA/SB2mJ9hGiVI/AAAAAAAACD8/IiIPuC5vc4A/s400/Freinds+are+angels+card.jpg" border="0" />Asher got to set the junior challenge and had heaps of fun scrapping a picture of Shaleah, her bestie from school last year.

I ended up getting a part of the instructions mixed up so my page is going to look nothing like the rest.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5196488794849052962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_pvG_Pn5xhDA/SB2jBthGiSI/AAAAAAAACDk/jjTAhUIPW5U/s400/So+cute.jpg" border="0" /></div><div align="center">We were surposed to journal around the papers somewhere and as I didn't really have room for it I journaled straight onto the paper once, stuffed it up, covered it up then stuffed it a second time.

Be on the look out for some more pics form this photo shoot. Asher had one of her top teeth fall out the day before and I have got some real cute toothy grin pics in amongst the 40 odd I took.</p><p align="center">Nat asked me a few weeks back if I would put together a small OTP and layout class for her to teach at the retreat this weekend and now that it is over I can share it. I did up the tag as the OTP part of it then incorporated it into the layout.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5196497479272925554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_pvG_Pn5xhDA/SB2q7NhGiXI/AAAAAAAACEM/290Cctpvc-M/s400/Tweet.jpg" border="0" /></p><p align="center">Nat loved it, although one of my girl friends wasn't a happy stamper. When I was putting togther the page below I did it when scrapping with her and the next Wednesday she wanted to use the same stamps I used and they were In QLD with Nat. Boy was I in the bad books.</p><p align="center">I had done this layout the week before with a tag that I did up for the Hero Arts bird blog challenge and then used it on my layout for the Dream girls Get real challenge and liked it so much that I based Nat's layout around it so didn't share it either.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5196497474977958242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_pvG_Pn5xhDA/SB2q69hGiWI/AAAAAAAACEE/66tqequlPT8/s400/It+takes+two.jpg" border="0" /></p><br /><div align="center">I made up a card and gift bag for a friends birthday dinner and seeing as I did it up on National Scrapbooking Day I put up a simple step by step post on the Therapy blog.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5196487295905466610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_pvG_Pn5xhDA/SB2hqdhGiPI/AAAAAAAACDM/8VYI0A_zs7c/s400/Jeff%27s+b%27day+card+and+gift+bag+006.jpg" border="0" /></div><div align="center">I had fun doing this up and decided to part with some of my ever growing Therpay stash by putting up a challenge.
