More DT work to share.


I was lucky enough to be sent  in my DT pack from Handmade by Suzanne the stunning Hollywood Vogue range by Websters pages.
Just to prove to you thats its not only girly LOs that can be created from this range I thought Id do a more masculine LO with some of the B side papers.
There's a bit more hybrid scrapping going on here with some images I purchased on line then printed and cut out (bird and fern leaf) as I was inspired by all the beautiful elements found on the always gorgeous Websters Pages.
The Alphas are also Websters and some of the flowers, the lace, droplets and the Martha Stewart deep edger punch (my favourite) are also from HANDMADE BY SUZANNE.
This LO was made using the fantastic sketch by this months Guest designer Samantha Hauzer.
I hope youll pop by HERE and have a go.
Now heres a project for WOW. This bus album was super cute. Lots of room for lots of school photos and journaling.
I cant help but be impressed with the quality and range of WOW products and this MDF album is no exception.
Ive got another album in the pipe line so I look forward to sharing that when it is done.
OK thats all for now. Stay safe and keep scrapping! TFL.

Thank you we are fine.

Yes we are fine. Thank you to every one who has left messages worried about our safety.
I am so grateful that all my scrappy friends are safe and well too. It has been a very worrying time.
Luckily we moved from Brisbane just before Christmas. Our old house was effected by the floods to what degree we are still unsure but we are safe here in our new home on the Sunshine Coast so we are very grateful.
I want to say so much about how the Queensland floods have made me feel but to be honest I am at a loss for words.
I just feel so incredibly sad for every one whom has been effected that I just cant begin to express it.
I watched the tv for the ongoing reports for 3 days solid. bearly able to tear myself away as I think the magnitude of it all was too great to take in.
My heart aches for all those people whom have lost property, work places, businesses, pets, live stock but most of all loved ones.
So needless to say my mojo has left me and I have found it incredibly hard to be creative.
I will have some thing to share soon if your interested so stay tuned.
If you would like to extend a helping hand to the people effected by the floods here in QLD HERE is a fantastic place to start. Please take a look. TFL.

Just a few shares.


Hi again. I just wanted to share a few LOs that I have completed for WOW using some of their AWESOME chipboard titles.
I really cant  rave on enough about WOW products. They are so beautifully made and so much fun to use and alter.
For this first LO I have covered the title in dimensional magic and then antique glitter glass YUM!Thanks Gilly and Nay for the inspiration.
Sorry for the terrible photo, its been raining A LOT!!


This next LO also features a WOW chipboard title.
Its a little difficult to pick up here but Ive given it a light spray with my home made glimmer mist and its got a bit of green and gold shimmer to it, then Ive just doodled on it to keep in with the comic theme.


Lastly this is just a sneak. Ill post the entire thing in Feb.
I had some fun playing around with some new texture overlays on this photo of Master J.
I love the effect, great for turning those meeh photos into some thing a bit special.
OK thats it for today.
Thanks for all your lovely comments I really appreciate them.You guys always make my day. TFL.

some favs for 2010.

OK well today is the last day of 2010 and its been a pretty good year really but Im ready 2011.
Posting your fav LOs for the year thats almost done seems to be the thing to do and I think a good way to bring in the new year. So Here we go in no particular order 10 of my favs from 2010.
Unfortunately and fortunately my 4 favourites are missing as they are out for publication, but you get the idea.











Thanks for joining me on my journey this year and thanks for all your love and support.
Your wonderful comments have been one of my fondest memories of 2010. I really do appreciate them in a BIG way.
I hope you have a happy, scrappy and safe New Year and Ill see you in 2011. YEEEHA!

Our Boys.

 Just one share today. I have more LOs and an OTP but Ill save them for another day.
This LO is for WOW using one of the GORGEOUS chipboard titles they make.
WOW chipboard is so beautifully detailed and so much fun to work with.
On this one Ive given it some colour in a random fashion with a blue and a yellow stamp pad. Its hard to pick up the detail but it looks almost like opal with the green, blue and just that hint of yellow all mixed up together.
To finish off Ive covered it in a thick coat of Glossy Accents.
If you want to get your hands on some amazing WOW products ask your local to order some in. They ROCK!!
Bye TFL.

Immmmmm baaaaack!

Hello again. Yep Im back, I would have been sooner but our useless internet service provider (who will remain nameless) disconnected our internet only a day after it had been installed.
Any how enough of that.
Sorry I wasn't around to wish every one a Merry Christmas. I hope every one had a lovely Christmas.
We have had a very eventful December with moving house, 2 birthdays, 
Christmas and a broken collar bone.
Yep Jedd has broken his collar bone. To be honest we don't actually know when, exactly hes such a trooper he hasnt complained once and is still running around like a regular crazy two year old.
But we've had the x rays and yes it is most definitely broken clean through, poor baby.
So The trampoline from Nan and pop for Christmas will have to wait until it is healed. 3- 4 weeks the doctor says.

But, you may be wondering whats with the picture^ well, thats my new camera and guess what.......
I won it........ from The Scrapbook Awards, see 2 posts below. YAY!
I must say i was pretty darn happy and as much as I love my SLR it just doesn't quite squeeze in the ol' hand bag so this new one is fantastic!!
I do have some scrapping to share but just not quite yet so Ill be back with that soon but on the scrappy front Im proud to announce that I have signed on for another term as a sketch designer with Creative Scrappers so Im really excited about that.
Im also totally excited about my new scrap room. I have no storage yet and most of my supplies are just in boxes on the floor but my room is really big and couldn't be more perfect so when Ive got it just the way I want it ,Ill share some pictures with you all.
OK Im off to blog hop and find out just how much Ive missed out on. Bye for now. TFL.

WW1 for December.

Hello there. Long time no see. Well Im finally back in the land of the living and thought Id pop by and share my CT LO for WHITE WITH 1 for December.
The criteria is white (obviously) grey and masking. It might sound scary but its surprisingly easy and a really fun challenge.
HERES the link so you can pop over and check out what the other CT girls created and maybe take a look at last months entries.
We were blown away with the volume and quality of last months entries.
It was sooooo difficult to pick the winners.
So, where have I been? Well we made the move from Brissy back to the Sunshine coast and we have been staying with family while we look for a new house.
Then I had a little accident involving the lap top and a cup of tea. DOH!!!!!
Luckily every thing was fine and it was able to be saved but, it we were seperated for a while. BOO HOO.
So, now we have found a house and a nice Kindy for Tys in a beautiful spot and we move in this Friday.
The house is nothing flash, an old Queenslander with lots of character (interpret that as you will) but it has a great yard for the kids a veggie patch for Paul and a scrap room all of my very own YAY!!
Ive got lots to share when we get settled including some DT stuff for WOW and some very exciting news in the New Year.
OK I think thats all Ill try not to be such a stranger from now on. TFL.
