Monday Madness

Good Morning everyone.

I hope the weekend treated you all well. How fast did this last week go. I don't know where it went. I had a million (okay maybe not a million) things I wanted to get done, and I don't think I even finished half of them lol. Christmas is always such a crazy time of year though, and had I been better organized I probably wouldn't be as rushed off my feet lol. Every year I say I will start things early, but does that ever happen......nope:) next year will be different though.....maybe.

So today I have a few 123 Scrapbook creations to share. The first few were for the Christmas cybercrop. Rather than do challenges for this cybercrop, we decided we would just show a few gifts that people could make.

My first project was this altered jar. Inside it has a packet of seeds, and although it doesn't show clearly, some dragonflies on a branch.

An altered Ferrero Rocher Box.....yummmmmm

and an altered clipboard ( I wasn't happy how this turned out)


I also made another project for my Renee's Reno's section. These are Kaisercraft Coasters that have been decoarted with Glimmermist, Glimmer Screens and stamps. I quite like the way they turned out. If you want to see how i made these coasters pop over to the 123 Scrapbook forum here. Well that is about it for today.

I have a few more creations yet to share, so hopefully I will be back on by the end of the week (unless it flies past like the last one lol).

Have a great week and take care.

Christmas Quickie

Hi everyone.

Do you want to make a quick Christmas decoration? This frame that I made as my Renee's Reno's project for 123 Scrapbook is a quick and easy project that you can put together in no time at all. Pop over to the forum to see the instructions.



Don't you just love those papers. The Dear Santa Range from Kaisercraft would have to be my most favourite Christmas range to date. I was so excited when I had the chance to play with it again for my 123 Scrapbook project. I hope you like it. Well that's it for today. The dishes are calling me so I had better go and do them.

Thanks for stopping by.

Take Care

Good morning Monday!

Hi everyone.

I hope your weekend treated you well. It was another peaceful weekend here. A little bit of scrapbooking and a lot of doing nothing. Just the way I like it. This month over at 123 Scrapbook it is my turn to do the November Sketch Challenge. Here is the layout that I made for it using the Fancy Pants Christmas magic papers.



Can you believe that the sweet little baby in that photo is turning 5 tomorrow!!!
To see the sketch pop over to the 123 forum, and if you find the time give it a go and you could be in the running to win a $20 store voucher.

Have a great Monday
Take care

Friendship Flowers

Helllooooo!!

How is everyone this fine Tuesday? The weather here is gorgeous. The sun is shining, the sky is blue and the house is clean. I feel so relaxed and happy when the house is clean and tidy. With the two girls though, I can't imagine it will stay this way for very long lol.

Today I thought I would show you my very first Renee's Reno's project that I have made for
123 Scrapbook. It is a Kaisercraft Handbag Tidy, decorated using the yummy Teresa Collins Friendship line.




For the full supplies list and instructions on how to make it, pop over to the 123 Scrapbook forum and check out the Renee's Reno's section.

That's about it from me today. I hope the sun is shining in your neck of the woods and that you have a great Tuesday.

Be back soon.

A Layout + News = Super Sunday

Hellloooo everyone out there in cyberland.

How are we all this lovely Sunday. I am feeling fantastic today. I did a little bit of exercise this morning, so all those good endorphins are racing through my body. Kayla went to a friends birthday party yesterday at McDonalds. I was so proud of my little poppet when she ordered herself a bottle of water instead of soft drink or juice. The girls only ever drink water and milk, so i thought given the chance she would order what the rest of the kids were having, and have soft drink. But she ordered water and I was sooooo extremely proud of her.

I have a layout to share today. My Mum sent me some old photos she had, and we decided we would start tracing the family history. Unfortunately this photo of these two adorable girls din't have their names on the back, so we are unsure as to who they are. But i loved the photo so much that I had to scrap it almost immediately.


Now onto some very exciting news!!!! I have been asked by the gorgeous Wilma to join her amazing Dream Team over at 123 Scrapbook. I am so excited to join this wonderful team. They were the first online forum that I joined, and I haven't left because they are such a friendly and funny bunch of ladies. I join the very talented Karlene Fahey, Monica Brady, Ngaire Gilligan, and Teina Cumming. I am really looking forward to this new venture, so feel free to pop over to the forum and say hi.

On a sadder note, I have decided to finish my Design Team role at A2Z Scraplets. I had an absolute blast working with Julie and the team over the past months, and I thank Julie for being a delight to work with. Thankyou!

Well that's about it for today. I have some housework to do so i had better not put it off any longer.

Have a great Sunday.
