Where Do I Start...

Gosh it seem like ages since I last posted.
Now where do I start...
I have been taking part in the 12 Days of Christmas challenges over at Scrapz.Biz.
Day 1 challenge was to made a little box, so this is mine
I love this little box, finished size is about 5cm square.
Day 2 was to re-cycle re-use something from around the house, I re-used this shopping paper bag...
Have wanted to decorate this for ages and this challenge was the incentive I needed.
Day 3 was to print some address/greeting labels, here are some of mine.
I used some digital elements from kits by Royanna Fritschmann, then after printing I used some green chalk around the edges.
Now I have to tackle days 4 & 5...a layout and Bon Bons!
I am having so much fun doing these challenges.
Now my DT layout for the November challenge over at From Screen 2 Scrap.
This is the poster you have to use to get your inspiration from.
The addition criteria is to use a song title for your layout, also to use 3 or more Christmas embellishments and lots of colourful bling...
So here is my layout...
I titled my layout 'Believe', Christmas carol from the movie 'The Polar Express'.

I have used Christmas embellishments, I made my xmas trees and cut the presents out of patterned paper. Added sequin stars to the trees as well as bling, and the chipboard baubles which I covered in glitter for bling. Also added a row of rubon holly leaves at the bottom of the layout. Had lots of fun creating this layout and I am really please with the way it turned out.
Well that is all for now, I know long post, lol....

for Family Time...
This layout is for Mel's sketch challenge over at ScrapZ.Biz, for the scrapz giving compz. The journaling reads 'these moments are so rare to get a photo of all of us'. Has you can see I have made some more of those tissue paper flowers, just loving them at the moment :) and that Prima patterned paper is gorgeous. I used vinyl thickers which are really cool. I am rather pleased with the way this one turned out.

Thank You Card

for challenge over at Scrapz.Biz, for the Scrapz giving weekend.
Well has most of you know I am not a card maker so don't laugh at my attempt here...
and a close up of the tissue paper flower I made...
I used up some of my scrap pieces of paper to make this card, also used Making Memories rubon letters and Carolee's Creation tiny alphas. The little buttons I found in my stash, didn't even know I had them, lol!

Not Enough Time...

in a day to do all the things I want to do :( this time of year is always so hectic....
I have done another layout for this months word challenge over at Challenge Heaven. The criteria was to use the word 'everything' in the title, 2 flowers & a flourish. So this is my take on the challenge...
I used Basic Grey paper for the background & American Craft patterned papers, which I picked up really cheap at stoplight (love the bright colours). Sassafras Lass rubon, DCWV chipboard shapes (aren't the little birds cute), Heidi Swapp rubon letters (using up my old stash here) & Weave Extras teeny tiny alpha stickers (there are over a 1000 letters per pack for only $1.95 at spotlight). I also used my new Martha Stewart scallop edge punch, so in love with this punch at the moment...
So that is it for me. Oh yeah before I forget I would like to thank all you lovely people out there that have left so many lovely comments on my blog, a big thank you! I love reading your comments, again thanks...

My Dad

I don't have a lot of photos of my dad so the few I have are very precious to me. This photo I used was taken when he first migrated to Australia.
I created this digital layout for the Number Challenge over at Challenge Heaven. The criteria was to use 1 word, 2 photos & 3 patterned papers...
I used elements from Summertime Designs.
Well I have to head out to work shortly so I better get off the computer and get ready.
Keep safe until next time...

A Couple To Share...

This first layout is for the November Quote challenge over at Challenge Heaven. The quote is 'your laughter is music to my ears', plus also had to use 6 buttons & strip journaling. So this is a digital layout I created...Love the simplicity of this design!
Loved the ladybird patterned paper, so cute. Elements used here are from Divine Digital & Scrap Girls.
This next layout is for the weekly Fetch A Sketch challenge over at Scrapz Biz. I used leftover Christmas papers from the Kaiser Advent Calender I made. The chip word I found at my local $2 shop last year, there were about 6 different pieces per pack and 3 different packs. They are really gorgeous.
The KI Memories pp I used for the background is a lovely shade of hot pink almost red, suited the Kaiser paper perfectly. So that is all that I have created, don't think I will get any more done now until maybe Saturday, the rest of the week is booked solid what with work & appointments :(
So keep safe until next time...

Why Not Have A Go...

at this months challenge over at From Screen 2 Scrap.
Lots of fantastic prizes up for grabs and one is being donated by.....

ME

The retail value of the prize I am donating is approx $40.

So why not pop on over and check out the challenge and see what others have created. I would love to see your creation. If you do enter in the challenge make sure you mention my name :)
Now here are a couple of peeks for next months challenge...


Well that is all for now, keep safe...

A Few Things To Share...

First off I have finished my Kaiser Advent Calender, I purchased this kit from Wicked Princesses and I have to say it contained more than enough to create this. I did use some scrap of Christmas papers I had as well, and the Christmas decorations well I am a stickler for not throwing anything out so they came in handy...so any way here it is...
Now for a couple of close ups..
Aren't these little wooden decorations cute, see I couldn't throw them out...
This next layout I created for the product challenge over at Scrap Of Difference. This months product is stamps, now I love stamps but hardly ever use them, yep naughty me so this challenge gave me the incentive to dig them out. These Technique Tuesday stamps I used in the title I have had sitting in my stash for ages and never used them so I thought it was time and this layout seemed the perfect one to use them on.
The sketch I used here is from Creative Scrappers sketch #77, so loved this sketch...
So that is all for now, keep safe until next time...

Just A Quick Post....

before I shut down my computer for the night...
I did this layout for the Theme Challenge over at Challenge Heaven. The criteria was to use a black & white photo and a circle somewhere on the page...this is my take on the challenge.
I love the pastel patterned papers with the bold black & white elements. I have used some of my older papers here {Heidi Grace}, and I have had these Bella black with white polka dot flowers for ages also the fabric brads, these just looked fab on this layout...
So that is all, keep safe until next time...

Not Much Happening Here...

I have not been doing much scrapping at all lately...
I do have two layouts to share with you, the first one is for 52 Sketches 52 weeks. Just loved sketch #43
so this is what I created...
That is my girl Zoe with her new boyfriend Sam. I used all scrap pieces of paper to create this layout, really need to do more of these sort of layouts has my box of scrap paper is overflowing...
Next is my DT layout for From Screen 2 Scrap.
This is this months poster...
Plus we had to use criteria
1. negative space
2. must have a cutout from a photo/photos
3. must use blue, pink and yellow somewhere on your layout
4. painted title
So here is my creation...
The photo really isn't that good :( the cardstock I used is actually a lovely pale yellow colour. I really didn't think these colours would work together but they did. Don't you just love my handmade flowers! I made them out of handmade paper which was perfect for scrunching and giving them a full look.
Well hat is all for now, until next time keep safe...
