Cupcake Purse!!

Isn't this just the cutest coin purse!

Ashlee has been wanting a coin purse for a while now and was drooling all over the ones in Karen's shop yesterday and going on and on about buying one but she had no money so I suggested making one...then I remembered a tutorial I had seen HERE.
It's 13cm x 10cm and sooo cute! It's lined with purple felt and has a cute 4" pink zip in the top :)
We are already thinking about what other designs we can make. Now to buy more felt and zips...

A Retreat Layout

I wasn't able to go to the Wave Rock Retreat in March, but when I saw this class Sharon Manning taught I just had to have the kit! Yesterday we spent the day in Hyden with Matt and Karen and I got to browse her amazing shop! There are soo many yummy papers and embellies there!
As soon as we got home last night I made up my kit..I love how it turned out. Thanks Sharon!
These papers are by Fancy Pants 'Vintage Valentine' range.
I have another layout to make to from the kit but need an idea first..it's a pocket layout so I need to figure out what I will use it for.


I have another cute set of papers I can't wait to use too...they are from the Crate Paper 'Paper Dolls' Collection.

and Again...

After last nights comment on my layouts being too simple I tried my hardest to spend some time making it more 'unboring'.
For the flowers I punched them out, inked the edges, curled them and then covered them in dimensional magic...then layered them and topped with bling.
I love this colour combo :)






Bet you're getting sick of seeing this family photo...last time I promise ;)
I've just put this layout on a 12x12 canvas and it's hanging in my lounge...about time I updated my wall.

I'm Back...

Well that layout didn't take long...I love buying coordinating patterned paper and chipboard stickers...great for quick and easy layouts :) This layout is just 2 pieces of PP, a pack of chipbaord stickers/ribbon and alphas...oh and some bling...can't forget the bling :)

I did this layout for Ingeborg's April sketch challenge.

Now..shall I do another layout??

Two more for the weekend

Last night I was able to get 2 more layouts done. I had planned to do another one but wanted it to be special so went on the net to get inspired but didn't get any further cause I went on MSN and chatted with Lesley for ages :) Ah well..there is always this arvo :) and I have new papers I just bought at Country Scrapbooking...beautiful Kaiser ones called 'La-Di-Da' with cute birdies :D

So I am thinking I might have to put last nights layout aside and use my new papers.

Here are the ones I did yesterday...

Ashlee's Baptism...

I told Tay I did a layout about her and as she was looking at it she leaned over to her friend and whispered 'Mum can do better'...HAHA!!! She said it was too plain...so I told her that I like plain these days :D

Probably be back later with another one.

I Finally Have Photos :D

Yesterday I got my Snapfish order in the mail which is enough photos for 9 layouts!!
So today I had the urge to scrap! Felt great too as I thought I didn't want to scrap anymore.

Tayla and Ashlee got baptised 2 weeks ago to make a declaration before their family and friends that they want to follow Jesus. This layout is of Tayla's baptism for her album. It was such a special day for us :)

And our boy Angus...

Murray is going away for the weekend so I am thinking I might keep my scrap gear out and keep scrapping :) What a nice way to spend Easter.

March Sketch Challenge layout

For Ingeborg's March sketch challenge I used my new family photos and created a digital layout..need to print photos before I can paper scrap. HERE is the PageMaps sketch I used.

6x4" Scrapblogs

I had a play on Scrapblog last night...hadn't been on for a while, and came up with these little 6x4 cards using our new family photos. I love how this site has all the digital papers and embellishments on it...although now they have changed it so you have to earn credit and pay...but I got around that ;)

If only I had a credit card so i could buy some credit and make some cooler ones.

An Old Family Photo

We have a public holiday today and I had the urge to scrap...but had a problem...NO PHOTOS!!!!

I found this one I had in a frame. It's of our family back in 2006 and we really haven't had a nice family photo since so I am hoping to get the family dressed and head out bush today to get a new one...seeing I have a new hair cut now ;)

So here is my layout. I love this valentines paper range by Daisy Bucket Designs called 'Loves Me Loves me Not'

Edited to add- and here is the photo I took yesterday...yay...we have an updated photo at last :D

My Big Girls in Highschool

Tayla is loving highschool so much! I took this photo of her the day before school started. She is just so happy now!!

This layout is for another monthly sketch challenge for Ingeborg. HERE is the sketch. I chose to go digital this time :)
