Cherish...

Just popping in, to share a layout I created  for Kaiser Saturday sketch challenge #4.

Today I decided to paint my craft space.......the first thing to do was fill all the holes in the walls. Its a little cool here today, the filler is taking forever to dry, so in between I started working on this layout....I didn't think I'd have the time for this last sketch but it came together quite quickly. 


 Love this pretty 'Secret Admirer' collection, combined with lots of Kaiser flowers.
I used my cricut to cut the two large daisies from Art Philosophy cartridge.


Here's the sketch

Stuck on U Sketches

So nice of you to stop by! There is a new "Die cut" challenge at Stuck on U Sketches.

"In the Water"

Add anything in the water to your project. We were asked to let our imagination go wild! 
My first thoughts were the ocean.
Then....I thought what do a like in water?
I really enjoy a Cup of Tea..........."Love you a Latte" cricut cartridge had a Tea bag cut on it,
Perfect! 
So here is my 'Special Friend Blend'


The Tea cup shape is on 'Love You a Latte' ......I used my gypsy to weld the shapes together to form the card. The flowers are from 'Mothers Day Bouquet' . The lace design is a stamp from Kaiser.

Be sure to stop by SOUS.........the design team have some awesome creations to show you.

Happy Creating everyone

Moment to Remember

Hello ............Not a lot of time for creating this week, but  by yesterday afternoon I was determined to
 change that!
I seem to be scrapping pics of myself and my husband lately....... that's because I have some at last!
 I'm usually the one taking all the photos - I often I say "Here take a photo of me, so everyone knows I was on holidays with you" . My daughter had a new camera....she took this photo of us.

The layout is based on Kaiser Saturday sketch #3


I used a mix of Kaiser papers, flowers and pocket page cards. I made the two larger flowers with my cricut using Kaiser papers - sprinkling them with diamond dust........I don't think you can see that from this photo.

Here is a sneak peak of my project for the new die cut challenge at 'Stuck on U Sketches' tomorrow. I love making my own flowers :)
Hope you can stop by .

Treasured Memories

Hello,

I've been trying really hard to use up paper in my stash! I'm trying to resist buying any new collections until I make a hole in what I've got........I tell you, its a real challenge not to be tempted by all the gorgeous papers out there.
 When I was in Canada, 'Michaels' was having a "Hot buy" on papers stacks.........it didn't help that the store was walking distance from the Hotel we were staying in. Well, I resisted for 2 days, then after I worked out where all the weight could be distributed it was an easy decision! So yes, I had a spend up!

Anyway on to my layout......Using a mix of papers from old Kaiser Collections. I handmade the flowers using my cricut which I combined with kaiser bling and resin flowers.


I really liked the colour combo, from the inspiration photo ....... so I stuck with it!
I'm entering this layout in Kaiser Saturday Sketch #2

Here's the pretty layout sketch by Naomi Cox.... for inspiration.

Handsome.

Hey There.....
I really like adding large photos to my layouts.......here is another 5x7 that I've had in a pile waiting to be scrapped. 
I started out by water colouring the background , then I added the large polka dot gift bag, some more layers of paper,  washi tape , buttons , some stitching and Bling......for my title HANDSOME. I used copics to change the colour of my title to orange!


I'm linking up with the challenge at "Scap the Boys"......5x7 or larger photo.

Hoping to get some more scrapping done to today........

Mexican Fiesta...

Hey There......So nice of you to stop by!
I had some fun with the new Die cut challenge  at "Stuck on U Sketches"
Animals 
Lets see your Die cut animals

Last weekend we hosted a combined 18th Birthday party for my daughter and her friend. We decorated the back yard with streamers and lots of fairy lights to create a festive atmosphere.

I had so much fun cutting this Donkey Pinata, a few Mexicans and a cactus. Some bright colours, lots of Bling a little embossing and some googly eyes.......ta da!
I hung them with pegs along the streamers.......they made a super cute banner!




I have used "Ole" cricut cartridge for all my creations.


And..........Here are my Mexicans!



Hope you can join us for this fun challenge

I'm so looking forward to relaxing this weekend.......last weekend was so so busy!
Anyway, whatever you decide to do ENJOY!
