Marika


is on fire!
She says :
On a bit of a roll better get back to some house work. A lift from SC No 68(vol 8 No 5)
oooh lovely! That dictionary B page is fabulous in there - and i really like how those buttons look so randomly placed but exactly 'right'. Your eye for colour is brilliant.
I agree = when on a roll .............stuff the housework!!!

Marika - pinwheels, photo text AND Sue's sketch!

boy oh boy this is sooooooooo good! Love those journalling spots - particularly the date one *wink wink*

Fantastic Marika .....although now i am not sure what you are going to do challenge wise for the rest of the month! eek!

(feel free to do more from one challenge and send it/them in though)

love the colours in this one - that yellow title is perfect.

Tiff - text on photo


I did this photo collage of my Saturday night bevies while away in Adelaide recently. So I could remember which one was which, I journaled the name of each cocktail on that pic. I curved some of them to follow the roundness of the glass as well.
Top weekend and top cocktails too!!
good one Tiff.

Amanda - Sue's sketch


Text on photo challenge - Sue

Rachel took this photo of herself and her boys....and i love it because it really zones in on all their eyes. But there is some over exposure on Evan's forehead... (she was holding kids with one arm, the camera with the other hand....got short arms etc...you know what i mean??)....so thought it was just perfect to put some text onto this one to help cover that up.


07.08.09 mini photo challenge - Sue

At 4.56 070809(pm) i was busy getting all my scrapping things together to go to the scrap night at the cottage in Cummins.

at 5.06 and 07 seconds Sean and I were in IGA. I did get a few strange looks and some indulgent smiles while I was scrabbling on the floor to get the angle in Sean's photo.
And I picked up a now not very often Ice Coffee. Still find it hard to quit it completely. LOL.
Wow Tiff didn't realise you were trying to kick the habit ... ;-)
Good luck with it!! I have found lately that I really look forward to my coffee ... not a good sign I reckon!!

Tiff - photo challenge

Flash Dance really is vivid in my mind from ‘back then’. A chick that was a boiler maker. Whoo Hoo. That impressed me. And boy could she move that body and shake that ‘thaaannnngg. Go girl power.

Pseudo Echo had the band big hair down pat. Back in their Funky Town days. And they were the first album I bought. Still on vinyl back then and it was a little one with an A side (Funky Town) and a B side. I don’t recall what that one was.

Ahhhhh. Those sexy (not) lege warmers Werent they all the rage. And fingerless gloves too!!



Tom Cruise sliding into the doorway in Risky Business with that shirt and ohhhh on those lovely legs. I don’t recall much of the storyline in this movie but I do recall this bit vividly.


Hair gel and mousse came onto the personal grooming market. And so began the era of big hair dos


Fantastic memories Tiff. LOL at all of us reminiscing!

07.08.09 mini photo challenge ... Tracey

Tracey said ...

Here are my photo challenges.
I went out at 4:56pm on the 7/8/09 and took photos of two giggling friends on the motorbike (checking to see if they are obeying the rules!!)

One child on the wall of the verandah awaiting her turn of the motorbike
and the remaining child manhandling the cat also waiting for her shot.


PS Sandra, yours is doing the driving, I hope you have nothing against motorbikes!!!
Great photos Tracey ... they really create a story ... can;t wait to see these scrapped!!

07.08.08 mini photo challenge ... Meredith



4.05 6 seconds on 07.08.09

Not a technically correct photo ... taken in the shade with an ISO of 1600 and a flash!!

But hey a different effect!! And how hard is it to get 4 kids to co-operate ... impossible!!

7.8.09 10.11am mini photo challenge ... Kylie


Here's a snap from this morning ... on 7/8/09 at 10:11:12am (well, probably not 12 seconds exactly!!)

Not very creative photography, just a photo of a typical morning in our household atm ... Bree still in her PJ's, Harry nursing our joey, fire going every day (not that you can see it in the photo - too much soot on the glass !!) ... and 2 missing - Ted at work and Charlie at school !

Kylie

Thank you Kylie for joining in ... I am going to do mine this afternoon ... at 4.56pm or 5.06pm!!

7.8.09 10.11am - mini photo challenge - amanda

Can't wait to see some more photos taken today.

Trish says:
Now I wasn't lucky enough to watch some of these cos my mum had a word- "piffle". But does this bring back memories or what LOL. Cheers Trish
Great memories Trish! I can only just remember watching Little house on the Prairie and i know that it was a fab show - each episode seemed to have a lovely moral.
i found this little snippet of Little house on youtube. And this is the opening title here. It certainly brings back memories!

Karen - Sue's sketch AND over photo text

Karen says :

Hi Amanda,
I do believe I have done a challenge!!! WHOO HOO...... and I think it could actually be two challenges in one. This is Sues Sketch challenge and also journaling on the photo. It has taken me nearly a week to produce! Yikes. You know that you cant rush these things, LOL.
Cheers
Karen D



I do believe you have used that photo that i totally LOVE Karen........one taken at the 2008 E2C retreat i think??!!! I was blown away by your talent way back then and i see nothing has changed. Loved squinting and trying to read all your 'bits'. They made me laugh!

Great job and the paper choices are beautiful.

The numbers aligning ... mini photo challenge

After reading about this idea here

I thought hey we could do that ... obviously in America they put the month then the date where as we put the date then the month so they did this in July!!

So tomorrow it is 07.08.09 but just to give you some choice you could do it at any of these times to keep the numbers aligned!! I don't think we'll get too fussed about the seconds!!

05.06 am ... I don't think so!! as in 05.06am on 07.08.09

or
10.11 am as in 10.11am on 07.08.09

or
4.56 pm as in 4.56pm on 07.08.09

So take a photo of something, anything at one of these times!!

And hey we can do it again next year on 08.09.10!!!
