Time for a change

I had been putting off trying to design a new blog header but thanks to the "Antique Finds' Header found at Shabby Blogs it made my task a whole lot easier.  So that together with a bit of editing in my 'Ulead Photo Express' programme this is what I came up with.

We had a wonderful time at Raincliff Camp over the weekend and Tania of Embellish It was very organised with a well stocked shop, she and her team fed us well and provided a few challenges being Zumba (optional) and a Scrap Challenge with 1 1/2 hours to create a page, card or item with the contents of a pack she had provided.  For me they were both challenges as with Zumba I found I could manage the leg movements but when I had to add arm ones too I got totally bamboozled - I lasted for about 40 minutes before ejecting from the room and deciding it wasn't really for me but at least I gave it a go.  And the scrap challenge - well speed scrapping is not my forte but in the nick of time I finished a layout in the allocated time.  Thank you Tania for providing such an enjoyable weekend.

Due to the atrocious weather today and it being dark this morning and when I arrived home photos of the weekend's creations have yet to be taken so I will share them later in the week.  Three  12x12 layouts, four  8x8 layouts and a card was the total production at Raincliff and with the real mojo arriving when it was time to go home I cleaned the scrap room while putting everything back and managed another four quick 8x8 ones last night.  It's great to have a tidy room to work in again as it had been a bit out of control. 

I will leave you with an off the page project - another diaper cake and cradle made for a baby shower for little Harrison who arrived very early at 26.5 weeks but is now finally at home with his Mum and Dad. 

We felt the orange ribbon gave it a funky look and matched the cute little monkey topper. 

Well that's it for tonight.  Bed time.  Have a great week and thanks for visiting.
