Colour Combos Galore News...

Hello everyone,

Just thought I should let you all know that as from today I have stepped down from my position on the Design Team for Colour Combo's Galore.

Its nearly been 1 month since we have heard from the Janet, the owner/operator of the Colour Combos Galore site....yep DT members have not heard a thing....so its time I move on. 

I want to thank everyone for their wonderful support during my time on the Design Team.  Your words of encouragement were greatly appreciated. I really enjoyed each challenge that was thrown at us and I really hope CCG can start up again sometime in the future.

Prima BAP.....

Hello everyone,

So I have been slack in getting any challenges done lately so last week I decided to go looking for something because I needed to scrap!

Seeing as tho I have heaps of Prima I decided to give the Prima Build a Page (BAP) sketch a go this month...also my very first time I have played along.... :))))

Sketch:

Happy Boy....okay if you look closely the sketch is there...lol!! I am having a thing at the moment for all things glittery and glam...hmmm...and boy did I have fun with this one! Mind you we all all sporting some sort of glitter on us these days...face, hands, clothes...yep its definitely adding some sort of sparkle to our day!! lol!!

Lots and lots of Prima on this page...

Look how gorgeous those Prima wooden buttons are...
Prima brick mask with modelling paste and glitter.....

Some more closeups....

Well its nearly time for the Kindy run...so I better scoot...

Thanks so much for visiting and for your beautiful comments :))

Little Monsters....

Hello everyone,

My very first MHC layouts went up this week!!! Very exciting!!! I was asked if I would like to create with the Little Monsters papers from The ScrapCake last month...after much deliberation I said yes....and boy..they weren't the easiest papers to work with...but I took the challenge...plunged right in and this is what I created....

Always Together.....

Products: TSC Little Monsters collection, Flowers: The Tropics – by the Pool, Fantasy – Moonlight, Cottage garden – Picket fence.

A Purple Pumpkin button was a perfect match...

The orange flowers are altered....they are normally white but I have sprayed them with some glimmermist....

A beautiful friendship.....

Products used: TSC Little monsters. MHC flowers: Magestic – Gemma, The Tropics – seaside & Fantasy – magic.

Another Purple Pumpkin button hidden in there....

I have your back.... Riley learning to ride his bike....and I know his Daddy will always have his back in life :))

Products used: TSC Little Monsters. MHC flowers: Grandma’s Garden – sunlit morning, Rose leaves, The Tropics – by the pool & Dusk.

Some super cute Rainbow Splendor goodies in here too :))

A big catch up...!!

Hello everyone...

Remember me....lol!! I have been a really really SLACK blogger lately but all for good reasons.  The last two weeks saw me with another lot of visitors....and then when they left...we left town too..lol!! We headed away to this gorgeous place....Hervey Bay...a coastal town along the beautiful coast of Queensland to celebrate my Mum's 60th birthday with all my family.  Its was a long and I mean long 14hr+ round trip due to many major road works along the coast road but well worth the time and thankfully my boys are really good travellers...

We had such a beautiful time, swimming, long walks along the beach, coffees, long chats by the pool, breakfast out, fish and chips, seafood, shopping...just the usual relaxing things you do when you go away but this time it was really special...I was there with all my sisters (4 of them!), their partners and my parents.

Anyway, you are here for scrapping so I will share a few bits with you today....

Here is the card I made my mum :)) Now I am no card maker, but I do really love this one....

Running a little late with posting this one up but here is the latest sketch at Stuck Sketches?!.... if you love sketches and need a little challenge...try this one out...you won't be sorry!!

I have a love/hate relationship with circles...sometimes they work for me and sometimes they don't!...and unfortunately this time it wasn't really working for me...so if you struggle like I do with circles...just change it to a rectangle like I did....lol!!

Sketch:

Take Note....I think my journalling pretty much explains how I am feeling at the moment...it has just hit me recently that my eldest is off to Prep next year...so another reason why I am not around as much as I could be...I want to spend as much time as I can with him when he isn't at Kindy....I feel like I miss him already and it hasn't even started...sigh..!!

Lots of Prima goodness here...with a Tim Holtz metal clock...

and name plate....paper by Bo Bunny from the Ectra line..

A Lil' Somethin' butterflies and flag....

as well as their fabric ruler ribbon :))

Well off to do a catch up...thanks so much for visiting...your comments are very much appreciated :))
I promise I will be back VERY soon with some more scrappy shares!

Bye

Just Because....

Hello to my lovely readers :))

Thank your so much for Finlay's birthday wishes...he had a great day a bonus that his daddy was home too!

Okay my latest lot of visitors have left and DH has a weekend full of night shifts so I am ready to get scrapping!! Have so many ideas that I need to test out...see if they will work like they do in my head!!!!

In between all of my visitors I have managed to scrap a 'just because' page.... because I really needed to do something...

I am giving this layout of my cute little nephew to my sister-in-law....I really hope she likes it :))

Using some Bo Bunny and Glitz papers as well as some cute Hambly...

Some close ups.....

The little cute bird is from A Lil' Somthin'...a white doily trim misted and ripped...

Lots of Prima flowers, Making Memories butterflies which I misted and some Kaiser blooms in there too!

Well I hope you are having a great Friday....
Thanks for visiting and for leaving me with heart warming comments.

I plan to do a big catch up over the weekend...well when I am not scrapping...hehehe!!

Hi everyone,

Long time I know..... but life has just been a whirlwind lately and it's not looking like its going to let up anytime soon!!!! But Kindy started back again today, so I am hoping to get back into a routine and get some balance into my life.

Just quickly popping up a couple of new sketch challenges that most of you probably have already seen.

PURPLE PUMPKIN
This is my last DT layout. Can't wait to see who makes the new team!

Sketch designed by DT member Anne Patterson...

 Summer Fun.... Lots of cool PP embellishments here!

A cute little fish button...ooops..didn't really photograph that so well!

XL star button and behind the photos are some of the gorgeous felt photo strips....

My bandage gauze that gave it the mossy look...just like the mossy rocks that were at the beach!

Entries are to be linked up over in the sidebar no later than 11.59pm October 31st to be in the running for one of this month's sponsor vouchers.When linking your entries, please make sure it is linked to the specific post your layout is in, not your blog as a whole as it can be hard later in the month to find your layout, especially if you blog often. You can also link from any gallery including Facebook and Flickr. Entries are to be created solely for this challenge and not to be used in any other competition or challenge.

Look forward to seeing your creations this month!
