Royal Adelaide Show for 2014

Another year of scrap booking for the Royal Adelaide Show is over for another year.

It has been a challenge to get all the work done this year. Behind the scenes here has been very trying and almost didn't believe I would get there in the end. I am happy with each and every piece of work I have created. With everything else going on in my life at the moment working of this has given be the sanity to keep going with everything. Bear in mind I do not enter into the Royal Adelaide show to get any prizes but to challenge myself and give myself an outlet. To have achieved the completion of all this work alone has been the reward for me.

Okay.. so now it's official and the judging is over I can now share with you my secret squirrel work I have been working away on.

Every year I create completely new work that I haven't shared or create for anything else but myself.

So here's what I have created for this years Royal Adelaide Show and how they placed. I am beside myself with how well I went this year.

Royal Adelaide Show 2013 - The Start

Before I begin I just want to say that this is a very photo heavy post and may take a bit to get through so have split it into two separate posts over two days.

 

Once again I have been a little on the quite front. Apart from my Mad About Scrappin posts that have been going up like clock work every week I haven't been posting about much else at all.

 

I can assure you that behind the scene here prior to the 29th of August it has been a flurry of paper and adhesive going in every direction.

 

The reason behind this I can share with you now as the results are up and the Royal Adelaide Show for 2013 is now in full swing here in Adelaide.

 

I have been busy creating, as I do every year, for the Royal Adelaide Show into the Open Arts and Crafts Section - Scrap booking. I really didn't think that I was going to meet deadlines this year due to personal reasons and mojo going on holidays. However thanks to much help from my Mum and Dad for the time much needed to get things sorted I was able to get all my entries done with two days to spare. I was even lucky enough to get places for a few of my entries, which surprised me considering the mad rush and what not.

 

So enough dribble and here is my layout entries.

Class 437- Children - Entry 1

Big sigh of relief that it is all over and done with for another year.
