Hayster's Scraps

update

6:06 PM

hmm i haven't blogged or scrapped in a month lol, but i think it's time for an update. this is the 4th week of course and lot's has happened. on the second day my nana passed away. she was 3 weeks away from turning 85. my dad and bro visited her the weekend before she passed away and she asked my bro what i'm doing and when he told her i was starting a design course the very next day, her face lit up. i ended up missing 4 days of course to go up north for the funeral, luckily i didn't miss much. i've had a cold for the last 3 weeks, which is getting really annoying, it's almost gone at least. my brothers moving to the south island tomorrow for a mining course, then after that he might move to australia, so he won't be taking my junk food anymore lol. anyway's, my assignment this week is about me, so i get to do a project which includes a lot of scrapbooking, which is awesome, coz i've been too busy and tired to do any scrapbooking for the last month. i should go make a start on this assignment. ttfn.

Punky Scraps Blog Hop

1:32 PM

hi everyone. if you've arrived here from the blog hop then you're on the right track, if not, then head on over to the start and try to win yourself some goodies. create a layout using the sketch below and upload it to Punky Scraps, don't forget to comment on this post for a chance to win an extra prize.

here's my take on the sketch:

i'm leaving Punky Scraps to have a go at being on other teams, also i'm starting a 15 week graphic design course in a week, so i'm not sure if i'll even have time to be on a team. but i've really enjoyed being a punky scraps rebel and working with some talented designers.

anyway's, you're next stop for the hop is kat.

some more layouts and a card i made for Scrappin Patch.

i bought myself an 8gb ipod touch today :) the shop i saw them on sale at was sold out and i was left extremely dissapointed, but i tried another shop and was amazed they had them on sale for the same price, and i even got a half price extended warranty. oh, and i went to my graphic design interview the other day. i went to the wrong floor and got completely lost *cringe* and had to ask one of the students where the reception is, luckily he was really nice and showed me the way. 46 people applied and there's 40 places available, pretty sure i got in coz i showed creativity and a willingness to do the next level course, i should find out in the next day or two. fingers crossed lol.

today is my 21st birthday, happy birthday to me, lol.

wow i haven't blogged at all this month lol, and i've only made 2 layouts. i've been playing a lot of spider solitaire on the highest difficulty (i've only won 2 out of about 150 games), and as you can see, i've been giving my blog a makeover, it's not finished yet and i'm not sure if i like it.

i got an email today informing me that one of my layouts is going to be published in a futere issue of Scrapstreet Magazine, funny how it arrived on my birthday lol. and i have an interview on friday for a graphic design course, which i'm hoping will eventually lead into some kind of scrapbooking career, maybe designing products, and if it doesn't, then at least i will have gained confidence.

anyways, this is the cake i made for my party. i was gonna make a 6 layer rainbow cake but i couldn't be bothered lol.

i made this layout for Scrappin Patch. it's of me in 1991 in a wooden car that my grandad made.

and i made this one for Scrapbooking Competitions. it's of my brother when he was 8 days old.

kaisercraft DT submission

5:45 PM

I've waited a year for this dt call, so when I saw it I knew I had to apply.

Here's my submission:

My Mum and her siblings in 1968

My Mum in 1978


Home Decor

I used a 6x4" photo frame to make this piece of art.

altered art

I made this little umbrella from one of those party umbrellas. I cut Kaisercraft flowers into quarters etc and stuck them down with pva.

One thing I love about Kaisercraft paper is all the little pictures you can cut out and use as embellishments. I gave this card to my Aunt and Uncle for christmas last year. They have 2 young daughters, so the colours worked perfectly for a family.

I made this album for my Nana for Christmas 2009 and I still love it.

Papercraft

The only Kaisercraft product I used on this is white paint, but I decided to add it to my submission anyway because it shows what I can do.

Have a great weekend :)

canvas

Punky Scraps challenge 14

6:11 PM

Here is the last challenge of this month - CANVAS!

Scrap with canvas. You scrap whatever subject you want but use canvas somewhere or everywhere or scrap on a canvas!

here's my take:

I finally got round to using one of the canvas boards that I bought ages ago lol. The quote is by Gerard Way from My Chemical Romance. He's one of my idols and has a lot of quotes like this.
