A new memory card

 
 
 
 

I haven't posted for a few days now, because my DD got hold of my memory card and it has not been seen since. Despite bribary, cajoling and promises of a "special treat" her nearly 5 year old brain.....just can't remember where she put it !!!!! So anyway....$34.95 later...a new card....I can show you my latest finished layout. The Little Yellow Bicycle (love letters) brand of paper is one of my favorites. Have bought a few spares that I know I will use....I also used some Bella glitery Die-cut butterfly papers, and the wonderful Prima flowers. I used the new Collections picket fence, and painted it with Tim Holtz White Picket Fence cracklepaint. Beeeuutiful !!! This is an old wedding photo...from me and my BFF nearly 15 years ago....My weren't we young AND georgeous, back then.....Just shows what three kids and a morgage can do to a person !!!! LOL !!! I wouldn't change anything....EVER !!!!
Well, we have a busy weekend...as my DD turns 5 on Anzac Day...So after we take a moment to remember the Anzac's we have a big BBQ planned...We have a new BBQ rotisserie, and we are going to try it out on a whole lamb.....I still have cakes to make and presents to wrap.....Take Care

A little bit OCD

 

After taking these photos.....I finally conceeded...my husband MAY be right.....
A little bit OCD ????? or a lot ???? I wanted to see what all my glimmer mists etc (Twiddley bits mists) looked like. Havingcollected many colours...I really was unsure what they REALLY looked like !!!! So I thought i'll spray doillies with....and then I'll Know....and I thought they looked soooo purty.....see...we are all a little ocd when it boils down to it.....Aren'tYou ???

My Tool Man

 
 
 
 

I really enjoyed scrapping these photos....I dont do many themed pages but I really
loved the Kaiser K-bots range, and bothe my boys have been tool MAD. And last year, my Joshua turned 6 and got REAL tools for his birthday....He had had all those working pretend tools....but now he had REAL tools (just like Dad's) and was beside
himself...Sooo proud !!!!!
You can see I added the wonderful Tim Holtz cogs and wheels, some corrugated cardboard and hidden journalling. Some wire, some screw head brads and a painted chipboard title.... I have more K-bots paper so I want to do another layout, only different....

I also wanted to thank everyone who visited my blog from "Inspirational Craft blogs" and left some wonderful comments for me....You all MADE MY DAY....
So Thankyou

Inspirational !!!!

well....if you haven't been there yet you must go and see "Inspirational Craft Blogs". The lovely Ruth from "Altered Geisha" has featured some of my work on this wonderful blog.....So a big thankyou to Ruth....She does some wonderful work, the link to her blog is on my bloglist. Some of the work showcased on "Inspiration craft Blog" is juuust aaamazing!!! I spend far too long going from one blog to another....Too long !!!! I believe my housework is suffering...but any excuse is a good excuse....
I forgot to take photos of my cards from my DT kit....not to worry...still working on my off the page...but a few last minute changes has seen me nearly finish this project twice....and We are going to change it again....But, seeing as I just love doing this....it's no drama to me.....
The kids are "wading" through the mountains of chocolate, they got from the Easer Bunny, and everyone else.....I'm trying to ration it to small amounts daily...but the supply is not getting any smaller...and they ask constantly for more....but I must just be a mean Mum, not letting them it it ALL at once !!!
Also we have all had our flu shots, the kids were geat....NO TEARS....so Get prepared for this years winter...It's going to be a BaAD one for flu.....
Take Care....
And have a wonderful Friday...

Another layout using SEI papers....I really enjoyed all the layering on this, plus the chandalier (Used my Cricut).
Have almost finished my off the page and cards....Not terribly happy with the cards. I'm just not good at cardmaking.....I guess it's just not my thing !!!
I'm glad Easter is over...now I just need to control the children's intake of chocolate to a small daily limit....And I bought myself a lttle "TREAT" from ebay....A Zutter Bind it all....pretty cheap. Only $56.00...I think?? that's cheap .
I took a few photos lately so I'm hoping to get some printed for some new layouts next week...I will post some photos soon. But only a sneak peek of my OTP, as It will be for a class next month... Well this blog is all over the place....
So I will leave it at that, for now...Maybe I'll make more sense tommorrow.....
Take Care

New DT layout and CHOC!!!

 
 
 
 
Well, finally have something to show you, and the other LO should be finished by tomorrow. I made this layout quite 3D, but I like the way it turned out....The SEI papers are just lovely to work with...And of course...I've been going MAD with my Cricut Expression..(new Cartridge)..Just love it !!!

Then was woken at dawn by my two little ones (my eldest still asleep) wanting to eat what the easter bunny had left them.
Thankfully I managed to convince them to eat just a small amount until breakfast was over...I can feel one long, loud, chocolate fuelled day ahead !!!

Happy Easter evryone..

Nothing to show you today...

I have had the "lurgy". So not too much scrappin' happnin".....Although I have been working on a few things, but nothing finished yet....I haven't done anything "Eastery"...I just didn't really feel like it...How bad is that ???? I have been working on my DT kit...And loving it!! And each piece is all completely different. I've done two heritage pieces, one is for a class next month.

My birdhouse class went well....a small class but the girls were all really nice, and I enjoyed the day..Not teaching again until next month....I'm not getting as much done as I would like. Not enough hours in the day !!! Or is it a poor use of time. I'm looking forward to scrapping some photos for me.....Went to a wonderful "fairy" party on the weekend, and got some beautiful photos of my Sophie...So looking forward to getting them printed and scrapped....Anyway more work tomorrow hopefully I'll have something new to show you...

Also off to see the girls at S2D4, I think there's been some new stock come in...
I want to check it out !!!!

Puzzle pieces

 
 
 
Just a few quick photos to show you what I've done in the past few days....I pinched an old, giant floor puzzle, that my kids are too old for....and had great fun making this. They were quick and easy, and I gave it to my Aunt, who lives opposite an old lady named Joy....I hope she likes it !!! I have made nother but not quite finished yet. I've also been working on my DT kit, and loving every minute of it. When I get something finished, I will show you ASAP.
