The Colour Room Palette #117

How fun it is to have the time to do some on-line Scrapping Challenges..

When I saw this palette from

The Colour Room, 

I was inspired to give it ago...

Especially after viewing the video about Journal Art by Lyndell.

Check it out here

So here is my layout

"Sitting Tall"

I punched out some deep border punch strips and adhered them to the layout and then covered the page and punched edges with Gesso

I also used the gesso with a stencil to give a different effect..

I covered the page in Glimmer, Paint and some Twinkling H2o's... (Haven't used those in forever!)

Then scrapped the page as normal.

You can see here the dimension with the Gesso using the punched edge and stencil.

This was the palette at 

The Colour Room

A relaxing Scrappy Weekend...

Today I decided to have a bit of a break from reading

Fifty Shades....

and spent the day scrapping.....

It was so nice just to veg out and scrap away using lots of yummy new 

Websters Pages

I haven't had much of a chance lately to use other products other than Kaisercraft!!

Here is one layout I did.

This layout is for this weeks class at

I have found this awesome new Challenge site called:

Here is a link.... CSI

I did the first challenge two weeks ago, but it took me two weeks to complete the damn thing!!!

Here is that layout

Playing Dress Ups.

This is this weeks Challenge No 24

 And here is my layout

Princess For A Day

This is a photo of my adopted daughters Courtney and Miranda

It was such a great night to share with Courtney as

she competed in the
Debutante of the Year Competition.

(Incidently, the same Deb that the above photo is from as well. Molly was also in this competition. Courtney and Molly should have been First and Second, I don't care what order..... but alas, it was another very gorgeous girl that took out the title)

How did you spend your weeked??

Meeting Diamond....

Well, I am finally here after a huge drive....

Arrived yesterday evening

and after a cuddle with Emelia and meeting a very nervous Shauny (Who is totally adorable!)

we went to meet Diamond...

Emelia loves this horse...

Here are a couple of photos I took today.

They just did a little riding in the yards today

getting ready for the serious stuff tomorrow...

It was totally fun to help wash Diamond

and plait up her main...

I thought Emelia had cut if off,

but she decided to leave it on afterall...

She is having her feet shaved here..

She had her wiskers shaved and any other piece of hair sticking out!!!

Should have some great photos tomorrow to share...

So strange not having rearing up photos!

Or bucking for that matter

Poor Solo, he would love to go for a ride....

Diamond.......

Its been a little while since I have updated my blog

It gets a bit busy with the shop

and everything that's going on there.

And with out Emelia at home bring excitement

and drama, it all gets a little boring!

So I just thought I would share some photos and the story of

Emelia's horse she is working on.

This is Diamond..

She is a stock horse quarter horse cross

ans is about 3 years old i think?

She was broken in last year at the campus

and as part of the Cert IV the kids get to educate their horses

and then do the show circuit.

So Diamond was broken in 

as in some one managed to put a saddle on her back

but all the hard stuff, the mouthing and education has been done by Emelia.

Here she is after a bath..

So a little bit of an idea what she was dealing with with Diamond!

This horse is really hard work!

She is not at all quiet!

To put a rug on her they had to hobble her.

To do her main and shaving her face they had to hobble, nose twitch and any number of methods to make her stand still.

Emelia had to shoe Diamond and she remained shoe less at the back feet for a while after Emelia coped a good kick making her too scared to go near her back legs!!!

When first starting to ride Diamond, she would buck!!!

Emelia would have to buck her out before she would do anything else and not once has Emelia come off.

I put this down to the wonderful training from Solo

who was always so completely unpredictable!

But with alot of work, and a hell of alot of love

Diamond has made it to show stage...

Some days she listens, and other days she doesn't....

She is learning to trust Emelia, and Emelia has even cracked a whip from her back!

Massive thing!

And now this last few weeks is show time!!

All the months and months of work are being put into practice!

Emelia is competing in the Equestrian Events.

Diamonds first event out was the Hack in her division and she came out with a second place

in a ring of 9 competitors!

And she has won a string of ribbons since...

I am hugely excited that tomorrow I leave to Emerald to go see Emelia and Diamond in the Emerald Show!

I cant wait to meet Diamond!

 And there is one other person I have to meet to......

Shauny.....

 Apparently Shauny is Emelia's forever.......

Stu met him last year, and though he was a great bloke!
(Big words from Stu's mouth)

But I know he makes Emelia happy which is what its all about!

Hopefully at the end of next week I will have some show photos for you!!!
