Today

Hey there.......so nice of you to stop by!

I really love the current inspiration board at D-Lish Scraps, so
 I thought I'd have a play with some Heidi Swapp Colour shine and see what happened.......I had know real idea of what the final result would look like! Lots of rubons ,a sprinkling of sequins , a little water colouring and a pretty photo of my daughter.

My shabby looking layout!

 These are some more photos taken on our recent holiday. We bought this big container of strawberries from a road side stall ......for $5......so cheap! And so SWEET! They didn't last long.........I think we managed to eat them all in a few hours!

Here is the sketch

Everyday Moments......

Hello.......Today I made the decision to "MAKE" time to do a layout! I have been scrapping lots of my holiday photos Pocket Page style but some photos just need to be featured on a page of their own.

The kids were so excited when it snowed on our trip to Canada last month.


The papers are Kaiser 'Take Note' collection. I have also follow Kaiser sketch challenge #2 for May

Celebrate...

Hey everyone,
I'm so excited to be a guest designer in the "The Shabby Tea Room" this week....thankyou so much Debbie for inviting me!

Create a card/project inspired by the colours in this pretty picture.......add Flowers or Balloons


I created a card using some pretty papers from a Heidi Swapp collection.



The balloons were cut using 'Celebration' cricut cartridge. I combined water colour paper and vellum for the balloons, colouring them with a soft pink ink. I love the look of the stitched string with silver thread.

The Shabby Girls have created such beautiful projects.........be sure to stop by and have a peek!

Happy Creating

Stuck on U Sketches.......Die cuts

Hey everyone.......so nice of you to stop by :) I've been home from holidays 2 weeks today, I'm still trying to get myself organised! I have printed some of my few thousand photos and have decided to scrap them "Project Life" style. I have not done this before, hoping they will look Ok....it will be quite basic, but at least all the photos will be in an album!

So.......onto todays post with "Stuck on U Sketches" latest DIE CUT challenge.
Let see your 3D die cuts. 

Here is what I've created.




This would have to be one of my favorite cricut cuts...I just love this cake slice gift box ! The box, flower and rosette were all cut using 'Artist cricut cartridge'.

Can't wait to see what you create!

It was such a nice surprise to receive an email this morning from Regina at the "Cutting Cafe" to say I was a "Thursdays customer spotlight".....  with a card I created used one of her cutting files. You can see my card HERE and have a look at all her fabulous cutting files.

I hope to find some time to create on a more regular basis soon ? I'd be happy to just have the time  to sit in front of the computer and check out your projects.........but that hasn't even been happening.

I really appreciated you visiting

Have a wonderful weekend
