OMG OMG OMG i cant believe it. I slipped into the rusty pickle sisterhood via the back door.

I am a Rusty Pickle Chef

Stunned.

We were given a second chance to become chef's by submitting our RP projects to magazines or e zines.

So after crying myself to sleep last night i got up and kicked myself up the backside and looked at the list of US mags before takling the UK ones. So i chose 2 and submitted and then went out for the day with the boys.

Came home to an email saying they wanted 3 so i was then eligatible for the Chef team.

I dont care how i got there but i am in, that's all that matter's.

Going for a lie down, emotionally exhausted, lol

Thanks for all those who have supported me along the way, greatly appreciated.

RP amazing race.....drum roll......and the winner is.....

Not me.

I didnt make it to the RP design team. I am gutted. I poured my heart into those projects but it wasnt to be. One day i will work for RP, ...i can dream.

Congratulations to the 6 that made it. Well deserved.

Rusty Pickle amazing race challenge 7

Well its here, the last leg of the race, challenge 7.

Here is the clue

Get on outback, cause it's time to scrap near the small windmill by the old tin shed. SO search up high or search down under, spread your wings and begin to wonder. The dream is there amongst the swirls, just waiting to be found by some eager girls. SO get on outback where the skies are blue, cause that is where you'll find the clue.

Which took us to Scrapping outback. Go check out the shop, forum and all the projects that the other racers have done.

Here are my photo's. I was a bit out of my comfort zone on this one as my boys are too old for parties and i haven't had a kids party since Dan was 5 many moons ago. The challenge was to produce a sign, a centre piece, favours, invite and thank you's.

But i embraced the challenge and got into the spirit of it ready for Keith's 36th Birthday at the weekend. I made a "birthday cake" in the form of gift boxes for hidden gifts.

Then i made fancy cupcake wrappers and stick accessories with matching gift bags as favours.

I made a large DLO sign letting you know the party is here.

And a funky invite card and thank you card.































So now we just wait for the results. What ever happens i have had a ball playing with a huge amount of stunning product, have enough left to keep me going for about a year and i have made projects that i would never have done normally. The experience has let me tired but happy as i have met beautiful people along the way.

Good luck Rusty Pickle amazing racers.

Rusty Pickle amazing race challenge 6

So here was the latest clue.

I watch the world pass me by
A pen in my hand to doodle as I lie
It wiggles and squiggles, never a line
Flowers and stars designed in a Scrapbook and Doodle time.

Which led us too the scrapdoodle site where we were instructed to make a fabric bound tabbed album recipe book using the beautiful french market paper range.

So here is my creation. I have to admit that i struggled with this one. My mojo just flew right out the window on this one. I tossed ideas around all over the place and took over a day to decide on a theme and pages. I worked long and hard, way past my optimum best and ruined so much paper and pages.

But i am happy with the end result.



















































I think i am all race and mini booked out. Just one last challenge to go.

What can i say, OMG, have i seen the outside world for 3 days.

Here was the nect clue

I sit and look out of the windows
My eyes are flickering and remembering
All the good things from times gone by
I wonder how many memories I have stored
A few? A hundred? A thousand?
Or is it more like a million memories??

Which lead us to A million memories. I would recommend you go check out the site as it is great.

So the assignemnt was to use the massive heart and wing chipboard album with the very pink pirate princess collection.

Arh to the pinkness as just boys in this house, lol but i dug out lots of pictures of little sarah, a project i have been wanting to do for a while anyway before she leaves us.





































Phew what a challenge. I hope the next one is a nice simple one as i am shattered, lol

Off to get ready for my first ever Stampin up party in a minute, very exciting.
