Last Post for STUCK in 2013....

Hello.....

Well this time of the year has been very hectic and it is slowing down...I think!!!!

Most of the Xmas shopping has been done. Just got a couple of gifts to go.

Todays share for STUCK.

It's nice to finish the year with a Chrissy layout.

We have some wonderful sponsors for this challenge:

And here is the fantastic sketch:

and my layout:

Please link up your layouts here by December 29th, 2013 to be in the running for one of our prizes! All prizes will be drawn randomly using Random.org to pick a number.

When linking your layouts, please make sure it is linked to the specific post your layout is in, not your blog as a whole as it can be hard later in the month to find your layout, especially if you blog often. You can also link from any gallery including Facebook and Flickr.

Feel free to combine this sketch challenge with no more than one other non-sketch challenge, such as a colour challenge.

Thanks for stopping by...

December Already.....

Well ....

Time is going so quickly is some ways and not in others.

In the last month our family found out that my middle daughter has a tumour in her leg.
So we have been visiting doctors quiet a lot.
Hence, my blog has been neglected for a while now.
So looking forward to the new year....

Todays share is well overdue for STUCK.

Here is the 1st December Sketch:

Did you see the new chippie by A2Z Scraplets?????

I just love....


We also have a fun addition to our challenge this week, we are joining up with the Scrap Our Stash Challenge Team, who are also playing along with our sketch on their site. The lovely Rochelle from Scrap our Stash has challenged us to add wood to our page, whether it be some wood grained paper or a wood embellishment of some sort. So while you are hopping around checking out our DT creations, be sure to visit the Scrap Our Stash Challenge.

Now it is your turn to play! Please link up your entries here by November 29th at Midnight to be in the running for this prize! If you use the sketch and a wood element you can link up your creation to both sites for a chance at both prizes! All Stuck?! prizes will be drawn randomly using Random.org to pick a number.

When linking your entry, please make sure it is linked to the specific post your layout is in, not your blog as a whole as it can be hard, later in the month, to find your layout especially if you blog often. You can also link from any gallery including Facebook (though we cannot usually comment) and Flickr.

Scrap & Music

Scrap & Music brings you a lovely sketch by Amarilys Doria.
And the song that our DT choose screams romance all over it: "More Than Words" by Extreme. This music sure made his mark on time.

and the song:

Saying 'I Love you'
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you not to say
But if you only know
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words
Is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say
That you love me 'cause I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two?
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away?
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying 'I love you'
More than words
Now that I've tried to
Talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is
Close your eyes and just reach out your hands
And touch me, hold me close
Don't ever let me go
More than words
Is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say
That you love me 'cause I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two?
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away?
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying 'I love you'

And here is my example:

You can link up your entry here.

Thanks for stopping by today - hope you can pick the winner for the Melbourne Cup!!!!

Scrap & Music

The latest song and sketch is ready...

What makes you Beautiful- One Direction

Música #13 = What Makes You Beautiful (One Direction)



You're insecure, don't know what for
You're turning heads when you walk through the door
Don't need make-up, to cover up
Being the way that you are is enough
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
You don't know oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful oh oh
But that's what makes you beautiful
So come on, you got it wrong
To prove I'm right I put it in the song
I don't know why, you're being shy
And turn away when I look into your eyes
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
You don't know oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful oh oh
But that's what makes you beautiful
Na-na-na-na-na-naaa-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-naaa-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
You don't know oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
You don't know oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful oh oh
You don't know oh oh
That's what makes you beautiful
