A card to share.

Hello!! I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year! Ours was very quiet as i have been battling with a terrible virus since Christmas, so i wasn't exactly very cheery. Despite being sick though i have been trying to get into my craft room to at least attempt something.  I have great plans this year to create and actually finish things, whose with me? Except this blasted virus has set me back greatly I have still yet to finish my December Daily but i will. To just add to the endless list of things i have to do i have also made the decision to do a weekly project life as well as to catch up on all my unfinished projects. What crafty accomplishments will you be achieving in the new year?

Anyway it is my daughters birthday on Monday so i actually made her a card, go me! I don't make cards very often as they just aren't my thing but i sure had alot of fun making this one. I am thinking this technique will also look good on top of a box that i found in my stash of wood projects. So here is my card, let me know what you think.

 

 

So that is it from me, i am off to create some more :)



Top 10 of 2014!

So we have made it to New Years Eve! Almost time to say goodbye to 2014 and welcome the wonderful 2015. I hope you have all had a memorable 2014 and 2015 brings you just as much happiness! I wish i could say i have made some New Years resolutions but the fact is i do not make these because most of the time i do not keep them, shame on me.

So what will the new year bring....

I aim to create more, blog more and live my life to the fullest. I am going to actually attempt a weekly project life, wish me luck! Project life is still a new concept to me as i only took the plunge this year. I have been collecting products all year too, ready to start the new year. Armed with my Epson Picturemate, my Heidi Swapp planner (which is still waiting to arrive) and an eagerness to  achieve i think i can give it a fair shot.

I want to spend all my spare time with my lovely little family enjoying all those special moments. I also continue my studies in 2015 and i aim to always give 100%. I have come along way since i first began and although i still have so far to go the end of the tunnel is nearing and i am absolutely flabbergasted at how much i have learnt.

The new year is also special to me as it is the last year my eldest is in primary school. I cannot believe how quickly time has flown and how she is coming into her own being.

So now onto my top 10. It is always so hard to choose but this year i feel i have hardly created anything so it was easy to pick some clear winners.

First some Project Life pages.....

 

Then some Scrapbooking pages....

 

(I am so glad i took a photo of this as i no longer have the original. Unfortunately this was one of the pages selected by Northbridge Publishing to be published and i have not received it back :( such a shame but i have my fingers crossed it will return!)

Lastly a Smashbooking  page...

Ok beautiful peeps that is my top 10. Thanks for stopping by and i look forward to popping by and seeing what you all share as your top creations :) HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all.

Scrappy Canary December sketch.

Hello lovelies! This will quite possibly be my very last page i share with you for this year. So if i am not back i wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I hope you all eat and be merry and of course snap some amazing photos of your loved ones to scrap in the New Year! I hope to see you next year :)

Ok so onto the sharing! I managed to scrap a page of my daughter after she went to her friends birthday party and i used the December Scrappy Canary sketch and parts of the kit.

 

 

So i will leave you with that and see you in the New Year! Take care xx.



November Sketch Challenge for Scrappy Canary

Hi all. I have been managing to find some craft time in between the chaos. This time of the year is always so full on and i am definitely looking forward to the Christmas break. a couple more days and bam my house will be filled with all that is Christmas, i just cannot wait.  I am just quickly stopping by today to share with you a page i created for the Scrappy Canary Sketch Challenge. I also used some of the products from their October kits. I had so much fun creating my page. So here is the sketch...

 

Here is my interpretation of the sketch. I just love this photo of my daughter i took at the gardens. Everyday she amazes me and i am grateful she is a part of my life.

 

 

 

Ok so i am off to finish some last minute Christmas projects. TFL and see you again soon.



Scrappy Canary challenge # 2

Wow last page to share for the Scrappy Canary Cyber Crop. I am so happy with all six of my pages! This last one really kept me on my toes and i almost didn't finish it but it is something i really wanted to get down as it was a major part of my childhood that i wanted my girls to know.This challenge is one i could do again and again though because i only did one row. I chose arrows, a dark background and a journalling card. I wish i used more cards too from my ever expanding collection of journaling cards :0

 

 

 

So here is my last completed page yay!!!! I wonder how many of you have met my friend Fred??

 

 

 

So my lovelies that is all i have to share this weekend. I have so much more to scrap and such little time. May you always find time to create :) Blessed be!



Scrappy Canary challenge #5

Hello lovelies! I cannot believe the weekend is already over :( However i have been having so much fun getting my hands messy scrapping. For the sketch i chose to scrap me but of course put my own little spin on it :)




This page was so hard to create i think because of the dark background but i persevered and am now pretty happy with it. I even managed to use sequins!! A newish item to use for me!

Thanks for dropping by and i hope you have had plenty of time to get your hands messy!!

Scrappy Canary Challenge #6

Good Evening everyone! I have had quite a busy little afternoon and even managed to finish another of the Scrappy Canary challenges. I had so much fun with this challenge and got a little messy :)



To create my background i stamped and used my Gelatos to colour it in and then added bits and pieces until i was happy. What made the page even better was my beautiful daughter, she is such a beautiful little thing :)

 

 

Excuse the poor lighting of my page but it is quite late here and dark lol. The photo does not do it justice! Any how that is it from me i am now off to scrap some more :) Take care xx
