My Prima Envy.

Hello all, It's a warm and sunny day here in Melbourne today and I'm determined to get off my computer shortly and go and create a layout or two.

The old saying 'green with envy' was my thought for this layout..........because I'm certainly envious of all things Prima. Incase your wondering - yes the overlay is all handcut - many many hours of cutting to say the least, and to add to my madness this is the second time I have cut it for a layout (used in completely different styles).
The background paper, flowers, flocked rub-on negative and trinket is Prima. The title is Kaiser and the tag is K & Co.

I adore this photo of my daugther Mackenna. I have used the photo last year for a class so just had to use again for my/her personnal album. The sunshine awaits! BYE!

Some rest needed!

WHOOO WHOOOO!

Paperific was a huge success...............but I'm sure glad it's over. I was unlucky enough to get a severe case of the dreaded flu a couple of days B4. Then 3x 12 hour +++ days and the loss of a voice several times each day mean't that I was in total collapse today. Alas, with 3 young children missing mum I wasn't able to get much rest today again.

Can't help myself though...just had a need to add a little post here. These are some of the display items that I made for Twiddleybitz at Paperific.

Twiddleybitz floating frame

The centre is acrylic - I just love this as it adds so much more dimension. I have also added the 3 different sizes of Twiddleybitz Skeleton trees at alternate levels to create more dimension.

My own little stick Angel Conductor at the park. I have been holding onto this photo for over a year just waiting for the right embellishments to create a page. I'm happy and he loves it.flowers and all!
Twiddleybitz chicken Mesh, I can't help myself this is my favourite product at the moment...I really have to stop myself from wanting to use it on everything. I can always get away with using different Prima flowers though.

How cute is this little maestro from the toddler border. Finally this is the 12x12 shadow box I made to keep my layout in. The weekend was so busy that I forgot to get a picture with the layout inside it. Too late now as It's already on the other side of Australia! I think I'll go now and dream of being there also........goodnight!

A little more than a week away!

O.K. I'm talking about Paperific! Fri 26th - 28th Aug. Melbourne showgrounds.

Come and call in and say a big hello at the Scrappy Hollow stand. I'll be there again creating some fantastic make and takes.

I will also be at the Twiddleybitz stand showing all the Sensational products on offer and all the amazing creations from the very talented DT!

This is one of the creations I have made for the show. It's the Twiddleybitz Gingerbread house! Yes I did say Gingerbread house-your not reading that incorrectly. I couldn't resist and decided to completely adapt the house and make it ..... 'Not so Christmas'!!!!

It's a little -far more grungy than I would normally do, a far cry from the norm of shabby vintage! A change in style is often like a breath of fresh air......reviving!

The cover story!

Hey there!

As this is my first cover with Scrapbook Creations I thought I would show some close ups! The challenge SC set was Prima - and anyone who knows me definately knows how much I 'love' Prima. I could almost open up my own shop with the stock I have!

Beautiful Gap

My daughter Mackenna has been carrying the mag around the house every day for a month now....mmm I think she likes it?

The wonderful photo was taken by the very talented photographer Clair Bremner.

Now my son has set me the task of getting him on a cover........Boys layouts -Not so easy!

I might have to do a mock up and hope that keeps him satisfied???

a vintage OZ!

Hi, it's been a little while - I know!

Sorry dear blog, but as all hard working scrappers know......sometimes commitments have to come first. I also got a little lost looking at all the NEW CHA products.

Here's a few sneaks of my class next week.

It's featuring some fantastic new Twiddleybitz chipboard pieces and I also wanted to play with the new G45 Wizard of Oz papers. So I have come up with a little Vintage and a lotta Oz!

that's it for today...back to the yellow brick road-scrap table!

Surprise, Surprise!

Well hello! I'm so not one for surprises - I usually find myself far too embarrassed and want to go and hide. So this was definately one of those days when the surprise was wonderful. Apparently this is just the reaction that Scrapbook Creations want! A fantastic SHOCK!

My daughter is very excited and can't wait for school holidays to be finished so she can show all her friends. Her father thinks she should aim for big bucks and get the Cleo cover when she gets older. RELAX please........ she already thinks she's 26 and not 6!

Mum just wants the school holidays to be over so I can scrap.

Is white the new Black?

Hello! Hello! I didn't think changing a blog design was going to be so hard. There are so many amazing designs out there to choose from - and everytime I like something a friend told me 'NO' that's not nice.........mmmm not sure which one of us has bad taste?

I went on a blog cruise and 95% of blogs were white based - mine was black, so maybe my taste is bad? Anyway after all my hours of searching I decided on the circus theme - for now anyway! I don't know if she will say 'NO' to my final decision but I love it! Maybe in a few months I'll change it again.
