Just A Couple of LO's... :-)

Just thought i would post a couple of LO's..

This one I used Basic Grey Urban Prarie Papers and Chip Stickers and Chatterbox Artsylicious.. Yummy.. Bit out of the traditional... using Pink on a boys LO... but I love it!

And this one I have been working on for a couple of weeks... finally decided it was time to just leave it be... Using Gorgeous Crate Paper Mia, German Scraps, Melissa Frances Embellishment and Basic Grey Mini Chip Alphas (piper).

Well i better go!! Hope you have a great weekend... hope to get some more done soon!!

Happy Scrappin.

Creative Time

Wow... what a weekend. I had some FANTASTIC creative time at a retreat... it was SO good! Just to get away and not have the demands of Mummy this and Mummy that!!

So I only managed to finish 2 layouts... the other 2 I will certainly post when I am done..

The first one was actually a challenge using Collage Press Papers... I just LOOOVE the new Tim Holtz Masks... yummo!!

And this one using Making Memories & Creative Imaginations Papers... these are photos of the kids first Halloween... there was a party at one of our neighbours houses... so what a chance to dress up and have some photos!! This LO took me about 7 hours... but what fun I had... it was fantastic to sit back and create without a real time limit... well depending on how long my red bull would last!!
Here are some close up details of the LO.

Anyway I best be off to bed... don't actually know how I am still keeping my eyes open..!!

Have a great week.. hopefully will manage to post some more here soon!!

Busy Days

What a couple of weeks. Things have been really hectic... with not alot of time for much at all - but yesterday I got some time to do what I love best (other than scrapping of course)... take photos!! I have managed to edit these with a few different programs and fixes... LOTS of fun..










I took about 255 photos... so there will be plenty of scrapping out of this shoot!! I have also had some time to do some scrapping... here is one I have to show the other is still lacking a title.. will post it as soon as it is finished..

Using the gorgeous Offbeat Range from Basic Grey and the new Granola lettering.. LOVE all of the new collections!!

Right - off to bed for me... need to try and have an early night one of these days!!

Do You Ever Feel

Like you need 25, or better still 30 or more hours in a day to get everything done? With school holidays, the shop, sickness and SO much more going on I have just found it hard - which I am sure has something to do with my house cleaner being on holidays.... So I have nothing to show.. just words.. so sorry...

Took some wonderful photos of the kids the other day at Sue-Ann's house... it was good fun... just love snapping.. just have to put them into action now (i just have to find my camera cable so I can upload them to my laptop!). I also was reminiscing and looking through my old photos - so I am "trying" to commit to doing at least 1 page a week using my older and less perfect photos... I will post the results here... so wish me luck!

I have bought a new Sizzix Die Home (build a butterfly #2) and the new Wallflower font - so I am hoping they will help me with my inspiration kick!

I hope that everyone else has had a wonderful week.. i have to thank to some great friends who topped it off on Friday night.... you know who you are... I am STILL recovering... hehe...

Take Care and hope to post some LO's here soooon....

Just A Bit Excited!

Hi There,

Yes - I am just a teensy bit excited... my paving starts tomorrow... we have a HUGE patio area out the back and I am SOOOO sick of the sand... the kids bringing it in, the dogs bringing it in.. so finally the sand will be where it belongs... UNDERNEATH paving bricks!!! Can't wait. Be great for the kids to finally be able to ride their bikes out there, play out there and get out of my hair!!

Speaking of which - they are going to their Grandparents house for the night tomorrow... YAYAYAY!! So they are being picked up about lunch time - after we pick up our new addition to the family - a cocktiel called.... SPARKLES MAISY... named by Kaiya of course!! We are all very excited about that too (except for my DH who isn't a HUGE fan of birds). Then once the hectic morning is over.. I will be settling into an afternoon of uninterupted creative time! Can't wait - have heaps of ideas going through my head at the moment! Just trying to get the housework done tonight so I don't have to worry about that tomorrow!

But last night I went up to Sue-Annes for our weekly 'street scrap nite' which was great (as always) and created this.. playing with the new Creative Imaginations Papers, Prima Lace & Flowers... mmm... Hope you like - and hope to post some more here for you tomorrow..

Thanks for looking!

Time...

Where does time go... sorry I haven't posted for a while - with my DH away and sick kids (and me!)... most nights i just flopped into bed... tired..

So all back to normal now... well almost.. still a little under the weather - but here is something I have been working on for the last couple of days... using the new Basic Grey - Eva... it isn't a great photo - will try and getter a better one in the morning when the light is a bit better..

We got some gorgeous Creative Imaginations Papers in today - new Marah Johnson... can't WAIT to play with them!

Going to see Scott Russell Hill and 2 others at Burswood tomorrow night... very excited.. he is a well known phsycic that is on Nova on Wednesday morning... he is kind of spooky... should be interesting.. just hoping I get picked for a reading... as will everyone else in the room!!

Have a great long weekend.. hope you have a good one - whatever you are doing!

Happy Scrappin

PS - A big congrats to my bf Rose who is pregnant... 7 weeks... Grow you little Olive Grow!! Congrats to Rose & Chris... enjoy the journey... and enjoy your 'quiet' life while you have it!

Sleep... what is that... :-)

Hi There,
Not much scrapping to report at the moment. We have had Coopers Birthday and my DH has gone away to Las Vegas... so rather than scrap I have worked every night (except 1) in which I layed down on the couch and did nothing... a much needed nothing... but - here I am again... at 11:30 at night tapping away on my keyboard rather than snuggling up in bed and sleeping..
Well I better go and ice Coopers cake for his playgroup party... hang on - it just registered how late it actually is... I will get up early and ice the cake...
urgh...

Basic Grey Trio Canvases

Its official - I have fallen in love with the new Basic Grey :-)

I sat down and created 3 quick 8x8 canvases on Thursday and I am currently working on another 20"x30" canvas... This is all for me though... i really felt the need to get something on the walls at our new house... so here is the first addition..

As you can see they are very simple - but I love them...

In a very creative mood (i have to be seeing as I haven't done anything for my DH for Fathers Day) so off to the shop and lunch with my girlfriends - then back to scrap!!

Hope you are having a great weekend!

I will take some photos of the scrapping that I did, but for now here are some photos that I took (just a selected few out of over 250...)

I hope everyone is well and has been enjoying this great weather..

Girls Night Out...

On Saturday night I went to T'Annes house to work on the web page... which wasn't a great success as I had Little Miss Kaiya with me... But it turned out to be a fantastic night. Kaiya got her hair and makeup done while drinking her 'Shirley Temple' and then dressed up in some of T'Annes clothes and we all attended a ball.. hehe.. it was great.. She loves her Aunty T'Anne... here are some photos... which are all a bit blurry...! Not sure whether it was the camera or the 2 Cosmopolitans I had to drink... hehe :-)

Such a little miss... always ready to play for the camera... Heading out scrapping tonight so hoping that I finish the layout I started 2 or maybe 3 weeks ago...?? We will see.. Would also be nice to stay in and sit by the fire... :-)

Have a good week - happy scrappin!
