Crikey, I scrapped....

... I know, a flippin' miracle if you ask me! I am finding myself getting bogged down with cards and gifts, and then an altering project leaps out at me... My poor albums are getting neglected, and it isn't from lack of photos :P

This LO is for my Book of Me, and was a prompt on UKS from Roz -

"Your prompt for this month is to get a photo of yourself doing something that makes you feel liberated and carefree, it can be anything you want, just so long as its a photo of you and you explain what it is your doing in the picture and how it made you feel."


Well, this is me being a zorbonaut! I don't usually do the dare devil, adventurous stuff - my kids say I am "no fun" LOL - so when we were in New Zealand (a land full of adrenaline loving nutters :P) it seemed rude not to partake in something that you can only do there - zorbing. You are placed inside a huge inflatable rubber ball and then pushed down a hill. Nothing more, just that. How did I feel? Terrified, sick, but also very proud of myself for doing something so out of character. The adrenaline was pumping for quite a while, but not enough to persuade me to do it again....
I used bazzill card, Scenic Route papers and journalling spot, American crafts alpha stickers and some chipboard circle arrows (from I don't know where). Everything is inked (naturally:P).
Managed to finish making my Christmas cards today - only hope I have made enough... I also finally finished off one of the journalling books I have made for my Gran, photos are still in the camera...
Speaking of cameras, I did manage to take some shots of the fireworks display last Saturday night, and they did turn out OK. I went for the "capture the moment" effect, and Mark had a go with the "arty effect" with a longer shutter opening (or something). Might actually get round to scrapping them at some point...
ttfn xx
