Only 4 more days!

Huge Hello Everyone!

well only 4 more days till my blog sale and i'm getting excited to see your
comments on the different eye candy i have been creating!
i'm a bit suprised myself of how many differne things i've made
in such a little time...my therapy time as my dad puts it...lol
here is a little sneak peek of what i've been creating the past week
gone a little crazy with felt...lol
some yummy felt buttons

sleepy clouds and a moon made of cheese

some bright funky felt flowers

Earthy tones kit

Dancing Rainbow kit :)

i just can't help playing in the brights!

I'm still haven more ideas with combining fimo and felt :) but that will be next months
exploration creations :)

Also on the 1st of May there will be a new Challenge blog opening their first Challenge!

which i'm very excited and proud to be a Emerald faires Lady :)
so you must pop in and see the challenge and see what i came up with too inspire you to have a go!
as well as the other ladies creations that will blow your mind!...hehe just a
little excited..hehe

Now i would love to share with you a layout that i created today,
totally thrilled i finally got to do a layout!
i wanted to try out a Kaisercraft sketch cause it has been a while
since i have had a go with their Saturday sketch, which i love!

i have choosen to work with Aprils sketch #3

so using the After Five collection and some very niffty idea of painting
masking tape and stamp over it
with Kaisercraft Pennyworth stamps
i came up with this layout...





as you can see i have used my all time fav colours!
one of the fantastic things about working with Black and white papers is you can
choose what ever colours you want tot work with!
also using some of my darling friends crochet flowers too!
which i will be selling as well in a couple more days!

Well now to get back to puting kits together and taking photos!

YAY! Hoildays are here!

Huge Hello Everyone!

OMG! seriously i'm super excited about the Hoildays!!
i've got to get some bunny ears to help me go hopping crazy over my hoildays!...lol
as well as get some sweet photos of the boys!
any way! got to get right into the creative side of things today,
i'm super excited to have convinced one of my friends to do some flower for my blog sale,
try as she may, many many times to teach me to crochet it just ends in tears and wine...lol
so she thought it just may be easier for her just to make them for me...lol
she is a total darling and i loe her to bits for letting me add these sweet little
 creations to my yummy eye candy line up!
here are a few of them with a few flowers i made today

also got to thank my partner justin for painting this canvs rainbow for me too!
he did try to do a little stiching for me and just couldn't ...lol
he says it's just too girly..lol
anyways with this lovely bright canvas i'll make some yummy flowers and buttons!!
felt sun is going to part of a whimsical/rainbow kit :)
cause i honestly think that
Felt + Flowers+Fimo =FUN!...lol
we'll see :P

Also very stoked to get a couple of challenges don too!
got on too the Get Picky's sketch this month??

How joy is this sketch! you just have to give it a go!


I used some lovely photos from MArch when Sara (justin's sister) came
 to visit with her lovely little bubba girl! how sweet is her out fit!
love the red with poka dots!
using the echo park just for the record collection! 
so yummy!
the background pp is from Making memories
there is those lovely bottle caps again!...lol
can't wait to see whom is going to buy some of these little vintage numbers :)

Next i wanted to try out Anna Craft cupboard monthly sketch


   
Kept this one fairly simple as i just want the photos to tell the story :P
using the Cosmic Cricket on the road collection.

Oh almost forgot to show you what i came up with on the weekend from Scrap therapy!
Deb was saying a great way to use up your little scraps was to create a background
from the little cut offs...find details here
so with her example in mind i set off to use up some of my scraps from the welcome home collection
from Teresa Collins


I thought i would take this one step more and use up some more scraps
and make a cover for a cheap exercise book
just added a load of zigzag stiching ...not bad, if i do say so my self...lol
can you tell i have a thing about rainbow?!...lol


got to love scraps! lol
well chickie babes! it's the first week of the Holidays and i hope you all enjoy your kid lids and find some time to be creative even if it's just creating a mess with the kids! :D
Have fun!
{HUGS}
p.s. thank you all for your lovely comments! i'll be popping around your blogs
 soon to see what you all have been up too you creative butterflies you :)

Yeah Sunny day!

Huge Hello Everyone!

Well like i said yesterday if it's sunny i'll take some photos!
so what do you know it was sunny day today!
even though it's getting a little nippy outside...lol great reason to
bring out the woolies! :)
and comfort food :)...mmmmm almost time for soup! :)

well today at TAFE i was a little shocked to hear it's our last 
week of term 1! OMG! where does the time fly!
so looks like next week i'll be full on Scrappen! Double YEAH!..hehehe

well with scrappen in mind i'll tell you about the other layouts i got done on Sunday
and the juciy challnge you all should havc a whirl at!

First   layout i wanted to try was the Scrap the boys challenge


theme was to be inspired by your boys or mans outfit!
well i thought of this photo of my boy lockie instantly, cause i've been waiting for the right momnet to scrap it!
thanks to Scrap the boys here it is!

I was inspired by the colours in Lockies top, yellow, purple, blue, green and white
then the title sort of hit me!
With Buzz lightyear on there who wouldn't think of it! :)




I just love this photo!
Also couldn't help using one of those yummy bottle tops i've been making! be selling a load of these on 1st May!

Next off the bat was a My Minds Eye challange!
i so love My Minds Eye! and it's been a while since i've been able to squeeze in one of
there challenges!
so armed with their April Sketch and the theme April Showers.
i dived straight into this layout!
i think it was the theme that really got me going as we have only had our first shower
here in Busselton in April! How perfect! cause i only just took photos of the boys outside in
their raincoats!!
Sweet!
was a little hard finding a paper that suited their raincoats but i settled on 
Little Robots collection from My Minds Eye!!


  
LOL! these boys weren't sure about this rain at first...lol but god they are cuties!...lol
you can see i have used all My Minds Eye Patter papers,even to make the cute unbrella and April

Well i was even surpired i fitted in one last layout, but i did!
with A2Z Scraplets given me the  last push of inspirations with this lovely April sketch



totally love this photo of lockie! took this photo
just before i had to cut back our lavenders in our front garden....
a bit sad they are all gone, bake to a short stumpy thing, not like i have to fight me way through lavender to get to our front door anymore...Sniff sniff

still i love that i was able to scrap this delish photo and this A2Z Scraplet chippie was totally perfect!

Well i think i better get  a wriggle on to get dinner started and to think up some more creative recipes!.

oh first homework!...lol
thats what i'm really surpose to be doing on the computer...hehehe
this can be our little secret...lol 

arh well! can't wait to have a good blog hop tomorrow morning!
get to see what all you chickie babes have been doing! :)
Yeah! more Inspiration!
{HUGS}
Happy scrappen

Huge Hello Everyone!

i am as surprises as you!..lol
i think it's been building up with all the sketch and challenge collecting i've been doing...
well about 15 mins worth..lol
really love that i have created a folder of all my fave challenge sites
really makes it easy to find the inspiration
also the timing has just got to be there or your just fighting
with yourself over gettting to your scrap space...and thats just no fun!

Mind you i did pay for it today, with the rent inspection on Wednesday
Justin and I just Cleaned and cleaned and cleaned!
all i can smell is my sweat and cleaning products....mmm sexy!....lol!
One long shower later and i'm feeling better and cleaner...lol
i realized something too...
i hate cleaning window sill tacks!
oh they are so gross! dead bugs are just not my thing!...lol
sorry a little graphic..lol
any way
today was a little rainy and very refreshing but not the best lighting 
to take a clean pic of my layouts
but i did kind of get two two ok one...

Well once a Mum always a mum :)
I really loved sharing a silent coffee in the early mornings with Sara
that quiet understanding...lol oh darlin, i know how you feel.

I used so lovely October Afternoon papers , with some of my handmade flowers that 'll be selling
and a cute as Apple button from Chip Chop Shop made by Leeanne




So sweet aren't they :)
