I have received a requeat from a MAC user who can only open normal zip files, not the RAR files, Stacey or any other person with this problem please email me ann@riley.net.au and I will send unzipped files. You will need a mail box that takes 10MB or higher. I downloaded RAR for the same reason and it takes over ZIP. Try looking at freedownloads.com

I am very new to designing and this is my very first collaboration. I hope you enjoy my papers and find them useful. You will find the link to download below the preview. Please don't forget to leave a thank you in the comments at the bottom of the post ( below the other links) we all like a little appreciation. To see a larger image click on the preview pic. Thank you for visitng me

What a surprise!

I came in, the bad blogger I am after a couple of weeks to do a little "housekeeping" ready for the ADS collab which starts Monday Sept 1st, to find, on reading some unexpected comments that Rachness from http://dood-elle.blogspot.com/ had been in and nominated me for an award and tagged me! Well I am very new to this so here goes:
Apparently I am suppopsed to share 7 facts about myself and tag 7 other people and let them know

1. I have a little Jack Russell Terrier dog named Digger, who should be called Houdini as he is always escaping. He loves kids, is 14 years old, has no manners, ( the previous owners fault) we got him when he was about 11, and has just cost me money to get him out of the pound!

2. I live in a semi rural area east of Melbourne known as a Green Wedge. We have bushfire threats in summer and are waiting for the big one as we havent had any big fires since 1982

3. I have, over the years enjoyed doing a variety of crafts but now digiscrapping has taken over partly due to the fact that my fingers are not as nimble as they once were

4. I trained as a nurse back in the 60's and later became a SAHM to 3 daughters

5. After a serious car accident in 2000 I decided to get back into the work force and trained as a Diversional Therapist, working with the elderly to give them a Quality of Life with various activities.

6. I have a husband, when he is home, and not away fishing

7. I have 8 beautiful grandchildren 6 boys and 2 girls whose ages range from 16 down to 3

Now to nominate some taggees
I visit so many blogs I dont know where to start

What can I say about these designers?

Burkhart Scraps is a member of ADS and has done some great stuff in the collabs. I quite enjoy her blog

Efie is a Dutch designer that I stumbled on by accident and who has been kind enough to create a kit at my suggestion

Numbumm is an Australian designer who has some really great kits. Once again I fell over by accident

The Maltese Scrapper an American of Italian extraction (I think) who loves Maltese Terriers and uses her pooch in her logo. Once again some lovely kits

The next designer Salatkowa, is Polish I just love her embellishments, they look hand embroidered

What do I say about shelsscraps? Well I found her through another blog link. shel makes blog pages and headers so if your looking for a new one like I was, visit her. I must apologise to Shel as I havent had time to get the new look up and running yet but I will soon

This last designer Corinne is French and has some beautiful kits

I joined a new forum today for digiscrapping designers I can't give the address link as yet as they are moving the site but will as soon as I have the new one. ads have challenges each month where budding designers make something from given pictures or other stipulated criteria. for July it is textured backgrounds so here are mine

more australiana papers

The Layout is of my grandson Gordon when he found out he was having a day off school to go to the Australia v SriLanka cricket match at the MCG in February. He is a cricket fanatic at age 12 and had a fabuolous time with is Grandfather step dad and a friend of the family. It was a day night game and it rained to boot, but he got to see his heroes in action LOL

some of the Australiana collection I hope the black one shows up properly on the page
