Scrapware Birdhouses

Well.....anyone who knows me......knows I just love little birdhouses....Natalie at Scraptivate asked me to do some with last months design team kit...  And instead of hanging them beneath each other, I decided a horizontal approach was needed.  The papers used were Graphic 45 Springtime, and I also added a prima vine.   Soooo...cute !!!  Been very busy....loving my job....Natalie is teaching a beautiful NEW journal....It is devine.  You must come in and see it....I shall be doing the Wednesday classes...as I will be working during the Saturday classes.  AND.........KYLIE will be here soon  !!!!!  WooooHooooo !!!
A very good friend of mine, managed to snaffle me a ticket.....Have wanted to see "THE KYLES" for years....
We have all really settled into our new house...And it really feels like MY home now....The kids seem to be getting used to the new routine....We also have a new puppy...and she is sooo cute/naughty !!
I will post some pics next time.....Gotta go....I have so much stuff to get ready for Twiddleybitz.....So.......NO HOUSEWORK 2morrow.....Just Scrappin !!!!!

My new start...

Ok....so I know its been awhile......but such a lot has happened over the last coupla months....I have moved out of the family home...
and now have a beautiful rental, just 8 minutes away. The kids love their new rooms, and there a quite a few kids in the street, for them to play with. A very stressful time for everyone, but we are settled and orgainsed, and trying to regain some sort of routine. I have also been working regularly at Scraptivate.....and still loving it.....Getting to know the customers.....so very busy, busy.....But it's ALL good!!!!! I do have quite a few new projects to show....but have only had the internet on for a week and half now.....so still catching up on a lot of emails etc. I am loving being busy, my new found independence, finding my new creative path......and the support of so many friends.
So thankyou......you know who you are.

A change is in the air ....??

Well.....there are changes in the air ...Lots and lots of changes........I've had a few complaints that I haven't updated my blog lately !!!! You know who you are....Lov ya !!!! I have been busy, but a lot I'm not allowed to share yet... And some is for Twiddleybitz...new releases....Secret Squirrel stuff....so nothing to share there.....But this was something I did awhile ago, on a whim.......There you go...have never done anything on a "whim" before !!! I had one of those polystyrene heart shapes from the $2 shop....recessed a little shadowbox into the foam.....paper-mached some music paper onto it......when it was dry I added some Twiddleybitz lovelyness...a little 3D image into the shadowbox...some flowers...and....how sweet.......It's on display at Scraptivate...in case you were interested in a closer look !!! And......I am loving my new job at Scraptivate....and when things settle down again for me....(lots and lots of changes) I am hoping to get stuck into all the ideas, I have floating around in my head !!!!!

Sophie's Fairytale

Hello all......This is another 12 x 12 Twiddleybitz frame with LO.  I just love the colors in this Graphic 45 range...and when I saw the book on this piece of PP,  I wanted to make a 3D book....and so the rest became 3D ....Lots and lots of layers.  Also used Twiddleybitz mushrooms...all three sizes, Twiddleybitz alphas and also the Fairy Temple.  Have used LOads of foam tape, loads of Kindyglitz...and some pearls.   I think it might be a "little crowded" ???  But then again....I never do anything by halves.....

Twiddleybitz at CHA !!

The bosses at Twiddleybitz have given permission for me to tell some exciting news !!!!  Twiddleybitz are now available in The US and Canada.....distributed by Select Imports and if you are lucky enough to get to CHA, they are at stand #4418....
This is a 12 x 12 frame I did, using some of the new Doyle border and corners.  Before adding these I attached some lace to soften the frame.  I have also used some of the new Mushrooms....these come in 3 sizes.   I used all three.  I have also used some of my favs...the fern leaves and a Victorian fancy oval frame with mirror (up the top RH side).  I also added a white Prima vine, some red flowers...and one of the new Faires (hiding behind the red flower)...I loved doing this LO and frame....and am working on another Fairy themed 12 x 12 frame and LO.
Bye bye for now !!!
