Wedding Card

Dusted off my Cricut on the weekend to make a wedding card for my Mum to use.  Made the envelope using my Martha Scoreboard.  TFL

Valentine's Card

Here is the card I made for hubby.  I have had the Spellbinders Key & Heart for ages and haven't used them yet - love them and am on the hunt for the next project I can use them on - a wedding card my Mum needs me to make!  TFL  Oh, also the embossing folder is a Cuttlebug one.

He is the one I love . . .

Long time no posting - very busy few weeks with my eldest back a school.  Had a bit of a disaster yesterday.  Was dragging a bag of gardening stuff down the side of the house and managed to kick my toe - looked down and had ripped off the nail completely!  Thank heavens my Mum was there as I would have passed out from shock!  I am a bit pathetic when it comes to injuries/blood.  After freaking out, hyperventilating and totally overreacting my Mum managed to get me mended.  Looking at my poor toe today and how bruised it is and painful I suspect it is also broken so will have to take a visit to the GP tomorrow.  Not smart!

Anyways, hubby has taken the boys to Australind to visit the cousins so I have done very little but have sat down this afternoon to finish of this page I started 2 weeks ago.  Pretty happy without the result, was hoping for a shabby style male layout.  Of course the BG Curio papers pretty much dictate the style of the layout.  So this will be my Valentine inspired layout I think! TFL!

3rd Birthday

Ahhh, yes more Echo Park.  My son insisted on wearing this hideous yellow Ben 10 t-shirt on his birthday.    So to prevent a tantrum that mummy was just not in the mood for I relented.  I will admit that all I was thinking at the time is 'Erggghhh what will the photos look like and what papers are going to match that t-shirt!".  Echo Park . . . I want to thank you.  Also, made a new purchase, an I-Top - my new favourite toy so co-ordinated brads will be featuring on future layouts!  At least the MS Cherish punch is getting a rest!
The rest is history.  TFL

Thomas the king of mess!

This one is another using Echo Park Walk in the Park - I find these bright colours so attractive but a real challenge to use.  I keep coming back to them in the hope that one day I will master them!

I created the little square envelope using my new acquired Martha Stewart Score Board - I got the idea from a layout I saw on 2 Peas using envelopes to block photos on.

Things I Love

This is a submission for a call at Scrapbooking Memories.  Favourite Things.

So I decided to branch out and do some more photography of things other than the human/dog kind!  Saw this layout in the Page Maps 2 book in a digital version.  Using Basic Grey Pyrus papers, Glimmer mist (background, handmade flower & chipboard frame/alphas) Coffee Shop.

After the frustration of my previous project I really enjoyed putting this layout together and in fact took the photos after the layout was finished.  Another first!  TFL

Lucky Moment

This one has been sitting on my desk for a week waiting for me to work out how to finish it.  It was one of the projects where I thought I knew where I was going with it then it just didn't come together they way I had hoped.  Anyway today I finally sat down in front of it determined to finish it and move on to the next project!  Still a tad ho hum about it but I guess you have projects like that.  TFL

Using Jillibean Soup Pasta Fagioli papers & element stickers.
