The computer is working and so am I....

Hi guys!

Just wanting to share a couple of pages I haven't uploaded yet, which let's face it, is most of them... I have a terrible system... correction... no system to know what I have posted and where. Anyone have any ideas on this... please share.

If I double post anything... just pretend you didn't notice.. thanks.

So a few layouts...

I loved this polariod watercolour paper from Crate Paper DIY shop it is a favourite and  those frames from The Pier collection are just awesome and you get so many I had to start using them. I had a lot of photots from Gabriella's baptism printed small and I just love this. I love pages about the little details lately.

This page is about how I refuse to call Sophia the middle child, I call her the butter in our sandwich which is exactly what she is. Mostly Dear Lizzy here.

Another page kinda story heavy about Sophia and her attachment to Miss Adi (the bear).

Better go and deal with the chicken pox people, one healthy, two to go.
Will try and get some more up tomorrow and get rid of this backlog of stuff. Yeah right.

Have a blessed day

P.S. Hi Tammy!

50 projects

So I joined this facebook group called 50 projects and the premise is that you have to make 50 projects before you are allowed to buy anything. I'm not so worried about the buying things although I don't need anything I am more concerned with being productive and using what I have.

So far I have done two pages! Actually I have done more than two but I have shared two...

So here is project one...

and here is project two...

That's it for now

A little LilyBee

I've been making a real effort lately to use up some old products or at least mix old with new. I still had a pile of LilyBee papers and I really like them and wanted to get working on them.
I saw a sketch over on there blog and although I didn't follow it totally it gave me a jumping off point.

Here is the sketch:

and here is my page:

So that's one down! It's a start right.

Challenge Me Happy No 40

I love typography so I was excited about Challenge No.40. Annelie provided us with a wonderful inspirational piece...

This is what I came up with ...

I've been really wanting to use more of this Everyday Eclectic collection (designed by Alison Kreft for Echo Park) for a while now and this all came together so easily. I used the Silhouette to cut the 'everyday' out of the background kraft cardstock.
Then I just used the scraps from the collection to fill in behind each word. Most of the bits and bobs are from the sticker sheet from the same collection. Oh it feels so good to use stuff up, it's so satisfying as I love these papers! I love it when they actually make it onto a page.

I'm designing over on the Scrappin Patch blog for February if you hadn't stopped by already.... I'm covering school and valentines.

Have a great day

CMH Challenge 38

Hi all

This challenge for Challenge Me Happy was an interesting one... we were asked to use the name or some of the lyrics of the song "Somebody that I used to know" by Gotye . I rolled a few ideas around but the one that seemed most relevant to me and the one that I kept coming back to was how different I am now. I compared my life from when I was just married with no babies to now. Sometimes I barely recognize  myself. It has been a welcomed change, I wanted to get married and have babies but sometimes it still shocks me that I am that mum, driving that 7 seater, each day surrounded by small people. It was actually a good reflective page to do, I want my girls to know how I felt as I went through these changes.

I waffled on for three journalling pages but I won't bore you with the details here.

The arrow diecut and the take note die cut I cut on my Silhouette, I am still using this on every single page it's been a fabulous investment. Under the take note die cut is an Amy Tangerine tag. The paper is from Lilybee and the stamps are from the Pink Paislee Portfolio Collection.

Thanks for stopping by...

Challenge Me Happy #33

Oh yeah, I do love a colour challenge, and these were a combination I love.

These are the colours Annelie picked, gorgeous huh!

 What I love about a colour challenge is pulling my supplies out in the right colours, I discover all these things I had forgotten about, they're like old friends. I like to make a little collection of the right coloured items and then go from there. It's really fun, you should come over to Challenge Me Happy and give it a go. Fabulous prize of twine this month, oh how I adore twine.

Anyways. this is what I came up with:

Thanks for stopping by...
have a blessed day

Hope you're all having a great week.
