It feels good to scrap a few of my daughter's photos from her trip to China last year. Sweet memories she will not want to forget:-)

Popping in tonight to share a recent layout (8"x 8") created for Manor House Creations. I had a blast pairing up their gorgeous flowers with Echo Park's Yours Truly papers.

Here are the MHC flowers I've used - although my cutie Pies are in Pink:-)

Shop and Crop March Card Kit

Oh I had so much fun designing the March Card Kit for Shop and Crop. 

The kit is full of the fab Echo Park's A Boy's Life range and the cards came together easily. Here's a look at the 4 cards you will receive my full instructions for when you buy the kit....

See I told you I had fun! :)

Not only can you make these 4 cards but you will have plenty of leftovers for at least another 4. 

Here's a few more pics.....

You will have fun making the trendy zipper flower!

I hope you'll pop over to Shop and Crop and get more info.

Have a fab weekend:-)

Happy Days

It was a Happy Day here with our kitchen bench tops installed and the plumbing all finished. Here's a pic....

(buckets of water weighing the sink down until everything is set)

Now it's just the splashbacks, electricals, plastering and painting to go and we're all fully functioning - can't wait :-)))

How's this for a flashback ......

(source)

Were you a Happy Days fan? I loved it as a kid but Dad was veeeery strict about what we watched and he thought the Fonz was a very bad influence on us young impressionables (Heeeeeey??) so we very rarely managed to watch it - only when Dad wasn't around lol.

These days are all,
Happy and Free. (Those Happy Days)
These days are all,
Share them with me. (oh baby)
Goodbye grey sky, hello blue.
There's nothing can hold me when I hold you.
Feels so right, it can't be wrong.
Rockin' and rollin' all week long.

I had some rockin' and rollin' fun with Echo Parks' Happy Days Range from Shop and Crop. With just a page of Chipboard Accents, some Core-dinations Cardstock and a few sheets of  Happy Days patterned paper these practically made themselves lol.....

 

I hope you will have Happy Days this weekend. Thanks for dropping in to see what I've been up to.

Bye for now....

Once Upon A Sketch December

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

We had a run-around-get-lots-of-jobs-done kind of day which was good to start the hols cause now they're DONE:)

I'm popping in to share my layout for the December 1st Challenge at Once Upon a Sketch. Here's the sketch and details....

Journalling Criteria/theme: The thing I look most forward to in December.

Well the thing I most look forward to in December is TIME......as my journalling will explain....

I've used Echo Parks' Victoria Gardens range, a Crafters Workshop butterfly template and Fancy Tags Two Nestie to house my title using AC Thickers....Sprinkles alpha:-)

I am really enjoying these wonderful sketches and journalling prompts :-)

So, tomorrow I'm off to see Breaking Dawn Pt 1 with DD....anyone seen it yet?? After that it's lunch and then Chrstmas shopping....just a few stocking fillers and I think I'm done - woohoo:-)

See you again soon.....

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!

My scrapbooking enjoyment continues with a mini album for my DD.....to commemorate her recent Dinner Dance.....here's the front cover and first page.....using Echo Park's Happy Days range....

Off to start work on page 2 now:)

Hope you have a great rest of the week....I'm off to lunch with 2 dear friends tomorrow...that's a pretty good Wednesday now isn't it;-))

Cheers...

That's a little bit of Melissa Frances crepe paper peeking out below the die cut Echo Park label....love that stuff too:)

Thanks for dropping by....and don't forget to say "Hi".

Sweet Echo Park

 

Hey there....I hope you're having a good end to the week:-)

I'm back tonight to share a few cards that you might have seen in the latest Australian Cardmaking, Stamping and Papercraft Magazine.....Vol 16. No. 11.

I had a great time playing with the bright and beautiful Echo Park "Walk in the Park" line....love it:-)

I was lucky enough to even have this one on the cover.....

 

.......a bit of fun with ruffled Kaisercraft ribbon on this one.....

 

....and then a ruffly handmade flower for the next....

 

 

I've been told these cards are doing a little tour around Australia and new Zealand with the Craft Expo throughout 2011....you'll be able to check them out in the Papercraft Showroom.

Along with these gorgeous cards from my crafty friend Therese. Very cool:-))

Do you have some crafty plans for the evening?? I am hoping to start on a couple of combined challenges....so I'd better go and get started.

Have a great Friday all...thanks for popping in:-)))

Weekend Wishes

 
Hey there...How's your weekend going so far?

We started the morning here...

 
(Photo By ellis_estelle)

at beautiful Kurrawa Beach....although it didn't look this good...much rougher this morning.

Then it was home for the usual Saturday chores....and now they're mostly all done I can enjoy a quiet evening crafting....I hope.

This week I've been playing with some new goodies for Shop and Crop including some very pretty Echo Park Be Mine products....
...just perfect for Valentine's Day papercrafting.

Here's a couple of cards I've created....

 

 
They're available for purchase at Aussie Cards for Sale if you're interested.

I'll be back again soon with a couple of cards using Basic Grey's new Hopscotch range.
