Yay for Sam! Sassy Scrappers May Sketch Challenge!

Huge Hello Everyone!!

 

Well I'm very excited to say that i have completed

 my first layout challenge in months!

 

I chose to give the Sassy Scrappers May Sketch Challenge

a whirl as I'm not a huge one for multi photo layouts...

 

 

Now i ended up with one less photo than the

sketch but I'm really happy with what i came up with for my first

layout in a while,

 

I forgot how much fun creating layers were!

I ended up working with some of Bobunnys Adora Papers

from one of my past kits from Sassy Scrappers

So you can find all these yummy papers at the revamped store..

 

I am totally in LOVE with the stores new look and find it so

much more easier to browse and shop in the new site.

 

So here is the layout i created

"Love Love to Bake Cookies"

 

 

Please excuse my poor photo quilaty these photos are taken through my phone and uploaded

via instagam...i was a little to excited to share with you all to go through with the

my big Sony cam...lol

 

 

lookin at these photos now i really have to take some real photos...

the colours are so much more brighter and alive...just how I'm feeling

after i had finished my layout :}

 

So So Happy!

 

Thanks again to everyone for your supportive and heart felt comments,

Honestly i felt so uplifted and excited to finally getting back to my happy place

i couldn't wait :}

 

Many {{{HUGS}}} to you all!!

Somethings Missing....

Huge Hello Everyone!

 

 

I seem to be missing something,

 

I have being trying to find it....not sure how

 

It's been missing for sometime now and my frustration is grow.

 

I had plans to continue with being creative through my Facebook page

and seems to be a bust,

 

Even taking photographs have been a mission,

I have started this month a photo a day challenge to get myself back into

at least taking photos and capturing the moments.

 

Depressions is a funny thing, sucks the life out of you and your left to really

find yourself balance.

 

I am getting better, it has taking me a while to even admit that

I am suffering from depression, bit of a surprise when it creeps up on you...lol

 

I want to start taking more photos and start with a different scrap challenge a month.

 

I think this is how i'm going to find my groove, find that wonderful something I

have been missing for at least 6 long months now...

 

I have to promise to myself to really try and get back to where I was creatively

and find that happy place filled with laughter, love and paint :}

 

Thank you all for listening and showing your support

through the past years, all your encouragement and community spirit has made me

feel as I am a part of something amazing and wonderful.

 

Please take a moment and give yourself a HUGE HUG!

cause you are amazing and incredible!

Here I am ...

Huge Hello Everyone!!

 

Well i know it has been a Long, long, long time since i last posted on my blog,

 

I have to freely admit that i have been having trouble with my creative mind, or my mind in general...

 

I'm sure you can understand at times all you can do is laugh and cry all at once,

 

But over all I'm starting to get back to the real deal...

 

I have a bit of an announcement, I will be starting up my creative journey and be posting more snippets of what I'm up to via the Eye Candy Magic Face book Page, as i find it loads easier to share quick photos and creative links with all of you, sort of cut out the long post and editing and such....

 

At least give me a bit of free nature as to hope i can share creative inspirations with you :}

 

So please feel free to come and like my page and see what I'm up to, I'm also fallen in LOVE with Pintrest and Instagram so you will see me using these handy little tools very frequently,

 

I honestly hope your all doing well and i look forward to popping around and pinning your creations

 

Sending you all loads of creative energy, Love and Laughter!

Playing with A Piece of Cake Designs

Huge Hellooo Everyone!!

Only a two days left of Eye Candy Magic Sale left!!

 

Make sure you pop over to this post and pick yourself up some Candy!!

What have i been up to??

Well i have been lucky enough to jump into my July Kit from

A Piece of Cake Designs... 

This has been a yummy treat to work with! from the yummy coloured pattern papers to the sweet little embellishments that Raquel has matched up wonderfully!

I created this layout ....

"Sharing a Little Cake Moment" 

Sharing my LOVE for baking in this layout, I have always LOVED baking! since my earlier days when my parents owned and ran a little Deli making and selling Pies....the Famous Kirup Deli Homemade Pies!!....that was a while back now 1986-2002 and the shop is now a backpackers...so i have heard....But i spent the first 16yrs of my life living and breathing baking and running a business....

 AnyHoo.....

Back to the here and now :}

With some of the scraps from my kit i thought i whip up a card :}

Now i really didn't know what i was going to do with these felt flowers but i thought they would make perfect eye for Hooty!!

She is a little different, but i think she is a sweet little birthday owl! :}

Hope i have inspired you to have a whirl at a homey layout or even an owl card :}

Hope you all have a super lovely weekend!!

Happy Creating!!

Scraps with Sassy Scrapper

Huge Hello Everyone!!

Its that wonderful time to share with you

I have been able to clean my scrappen space!

So with a warm sun light morning i brewed a coffee and set to work cleaning up my desk :}

A few moments later after i had found my desk top under the scraps i got
Distracted by my scraps from my DT kit from

Sassy Scrapper


If you remember i had been sent a bunch of lovely brights
from the Bobunny Collections Alora...


 



along with some yummy AC Thickers and JilliBean Alphas!
     


So i thought why not start a few cards?!

So i came up with these two from my scraps....

Have you been shopping for cards??

they are pretty expensive! some where between $10-$18!!

Now are you thinking what I'm thinking??

That is money i could be spending on my scrappen stash!....lol

So why not make a thing of using your scraps up on making cards!

I know it's a great way to use up your scraps and always having cards on hand :}

Have you seen that I'm having an Eye Candy Magic Sale?!
