A Happy Scramper

Tags for The Flying Unicorn

As I mentioned earlier in the month, Manor House Creations is sponsoring  The Flying Unicorn and I have had some Guest Designing fun as a result :-)

I have created 2 tags this time using the gorgeous Manor House Creations flowers - Sprinkles and Party Lights - both so bright and happy:-)

First of all - the cheerful Party Lights -

...papers are from Simple Stories Fabulous line.

Next, we have the cute Sprinkles -

...papers are from Prima's Madeline A4 paper pad.

Thanks for dropping in to my little corner of blogland....I hope you'll do so again soon:-)

Cheerio!

Kaisercraft Birdhouse

Hey there - happy weekend to you!

I'm popping in today to share a sweet little Kaisercraft Birdhouse I made in a class at Kaisercraft Robina over the holidays. It was so much fun, painting and modge podging and cutting and pasting:-)

The birdhouse roof is adhered in such a way that you can then place one of the Kaisercraft wooden albums in the top.......here's plenty of pics from all angles to show you what I mean.....

We used the beautiful KC Bonjour Collection for our project.....

The little punched out picket fence is made more stable with a thin sheet of acetate backing it.

Here's a back view....

....and the album that sits in the top......love this quote from the KC Family Rub-Ons.....

.....oh my babies have grown!!

I loved the process of this project so much I'm now attacking another KC wooden album with those beautiful family Rub-Ons and the gorgeous Chapter One paper pad.

Thanks for popping in!

Mini Album continued....

Hey....hope you've had a great Monday!

I have been busily working with DT jobs over the weekend for Shop and Crop (the November Card Kit) and Manor House Creations (sweet new range of flowers and Scrapcake Papers).....nothing I can show you just yet...but I do have a few more 6x6 layouts for DD's Dinner Dance Album.

As anyone with teens knows they love to take photos of themselves with their friends....often holding the camera out at arms length and snapping away.....which I'm appreciating I must admit since I wasn't there to take pics in person ;-))

(I like to blurr out names so you'll notice the "smudges" in different spots)

Along with the bright and bold Echo Park Happy Days range the layout above has a beautiful new Manor House Creation flower....called a Velvetine...it's so beautiful:-)

Alrighty, busy night with a function to get to so I better run and organsie dinner.....thanks for popping in:-))

Ciao!

Loved layout

I have been admiring the gorgeous work of Australian Scrapbooker Janine Koczwara over the last few months so when I saw she had a few kits left from her recent classes in Brisbane I grabbed one. 

It was soooo much fun :-) Janine is the Queen of layering and I LOVED piecing together all the gorgeous Prima layers for this sweet layout.

It's a very bulky layout  - I'm going to frame it and stand it on my shabby chic stand in our lounge room. 

I just love the lace covered hearts....they caught my eye when I first spied this LO on Janine's blog....all so shabby and delicious....just my cup of tea:-)

I'll be back in a day or so with a Wedding Card to share...have a GREAT day!

Christmas Gift Bags

 

Hey there.....I hope you're having a good week so far.

Just popping in tonight to share the Christmas Gift Bags I created for Shop and Crop. I had a lovely time playing with Kaisercraft's Tis the Season collection.

It's a beautiful, rich range of papers and embellishments....with a vintage-ish feel.....my favourite was the brown/cream flocked paper you see on the middle bag....gorgeous stuff:-))

 
 

 

 

I can't wait to put a special pres inside these for my 3 "darlings":-))

Enjoy the rest of the week guys.

Kid's Party Bags and Blog Candy Winner:)

Hey there...hope you're having a great Sunday:)

We had a fantastic lunch at the beautiful Mermaids Restaurant and are not long home.

Thought I'd quickly pop in and post the winner of the Valentine's Day candy and show you a couple of party bags published in the latest Australian Cardmaking Stamping and Papercraft Magazine.

DD drew out Viriginia L's name so congrats to you Virginia.....I will shoot off a quick email to you to grab a postal address.

Here are the 2 party bags....so easy to create with a Nestie die-cut shape used for the top and patterned paper to support the cellophane bag full of goodies...

...decorated with Imaginesce stamps and papers....

 Thanks for dropping in to see me today...I'll be back to share again in a day or two.

Kaisercraft Photo Stands

Hey there...how are you today?

For most of Australia, today is the day that the kiddlies start back at school after the looooong summer holidays.....our 2 had 8 weeks off so getting up at 6:30am and putting leather shoes on this morning was a BIG shock to their systems.

So here I am at home, alone, for the first time in 8 weeks and that's a pretty odd feeling too. Just enjoying some crafting and catching up with emails and organising a trip away in September, so lots of bits and pieces keeping me busy.

I had some fun on the weekend playing with the new Kaisercraft Photo Stands available at Shop and Crop. I have altered 2, one for myself and one for my Teacher Aide who I thought of as soon as I saw these with their cute little heart shapes....we will use them at work on our desks:)

This first one is mine....with the colours and look I love....

 I have actually inked it up a bit since taking this photo so it is more distressed looking on the bows and hearts.....

very happy with how it turned out ....

...full of photos ready for my desk.....

here's the one I've made for my TA....she's a girly girl so I hope she loves this.....

...it's certainly pretty in pink:-)

Well, that's all for today...I still have my 6x6 layouts for the Southern Cross Kids Camp to share with you along with a double layout for January...but I'll leave those til another day.

Thanks for visiting....have a happy day and see you again soon.

Lucky me:0)

 Hey there...how are you today?

Have you seen this movie?....

Oh my gosh I love this movie:0) It just makes me happy! I got it on DVD a couple of months ago and have watched it half a dozen times now...last night was with my Mum who hadn't seen it and I laughed....again.......more than last time....Mum loved it too.....might have to grab it for her too I think;-) I am such a sucker for a chick flick with a happy ending - doesn't get much better than that for little old me:0)

I woke up to a lovely surprise today from Jennifer McGuire...she picked a random winner who had commented on a recent post and it was ME!! I won these....

 
...cool applicators for applying ink, chalk etc....should be fun to have a play with hey!  

Speaking of play, I've finished the next couple of pages for my Basic Grey 2010 Calendar....slowly getting there:0)

Here's March....

DH with a recent decent catch of Mangrove Jack....love the way he's unknowingly giving us 'the bird' in this photo *tsk tsk*...

and April....

 
...how's that for a bright layout huh! I do love the blues/greens together......Basic Grey style that is:)

Now I'm off to make a start on May....a happy photo for Mother's Day.

Hope you have a lovely day whatever you get up to.

Perfect Plum Pillow Box

I have never used Perfect Plum on anything before so thought it was high time I did.:-) I have a workshop coming up this weekend so this will be a small gift for the hostess...full of Chocolate Eclairs. It was a quick project....the Scatter Sunshine Jumbo wheel is just gorgeous and was great for the background.

I am still tinkering with the layout I have mentioned. Hope I'll be able to show you tomorrow night.

Have a happy Tuesday.

Thanks for dropping by.

Pillow Boxes

Hi there....how's your Saturday going so far? As I write this it's Friday evening and boy it's a good feeling:-) Quite possibly my favourite time of the week....aaaaahhh!

I finished those Pillow Boxes I mentioned last night....I think they're very cute. Now just have to decide what sweet treat to pop inside.

I made myself make one out of Yoyo Yellow:0)...it is not one of my fave colours but it turned out ok. That flower is from the Always set....what a pretty shape.

Here they are from a different angle.....

The middle box is Cameo Coral wih Certainly Celery and Whisper White. The image is stamped with the Boho Backgrounds Medallion, Chocolate Chip in various layers....love that thing:-)

The third box is Pumpkin Pie with a Bashful Blue band decorated with Die-Cut Blooms from the new Spring Mini......which runs from August 1 to November 30.

I

Here's the new mini catty....go here to the SU! Customer Website to have a look through the catalogue page by page.

I just love the 4 colours featured on the front cover....I'm dying to use them more as I've got the matching Summer Picnic Designer Series Paper and want to do a layout from the recent Scrapbook Retreat on Mt Tamborine. All being well I'll get to that this weekend. I'm also having a girl's lunch tomorrow and seeing Mamma Mia so it's shaping up to be a good one don't you think:-)

Hope you enjoy your weekend too. See you soon.
