Top 10 Blog Hop 2015


Hello and welcome to my stop on the Top Ten blog hop!

This has been such a memorable year for me with huge learning curves in all aspects of my life. Juggling work, motherhood and creativity can be a tricky thing sometimes! As this year draws to a close I want to share with you some of my favourite projects. I (naughtily) don't share as much as I should on my blog - choosing Instagram (@chantallemcdaniel) for a quick share instead, so it will be great to see them all in one place!

Scroll down for full details of the hop. There is an awesome prize to be won, so be sure to visit all the girls to maximise your chance of winning!

This first layout was one of the very first projects I created for Simple Stories. I was brand new to the team and so nervous for my debut. It was such an honour to be joining, I really didn't want to mess up, lol.


The centre band pulls out to reveal more photos and journalling, echoing the magic theme.


I created this clock for a dear friend as a birthday gift. I hope she wakes up every day to positive vibes!


This page I created at Escape2Create during the amazing Kim Price's class. It was such an eye opener and the whole trip, really moved me in an amazing way. An unforgettable experience, this page is a reminder of that.


This is a digital page I created for Kraft Plus Challenges. I really love this photo of my Son.

For full digital credits, click here.
During the making of this page, I felt an amazing connetion to my Mother. I can only hope I get that feeling again some day.


Is it wrong to just love something you made so much? Hehe. I want to swim in that ink!! Creating using Kim Price's technique.

Another created for Simple Stories. Summer Vibes is such a gorgeous collection and I had just got my Fuse Tool, which was super exciting.


I was totally inspired by a digital page that I saw in a gallery.


Definately one of my all-time favourites! This one was for a  Jot Magazine challenge.


One word for this... FUN! 


I was recently offered the opportunity to try out these super cute mini pinatas by WRMK. The drum and hand bags I created turned out pretty cute. You can click here to see the full post.


Ack, another cutie I couldn't resist putting in! My last DT project for Kraft Plus was a mini suitcase which opened to reveal four mini albums.


And finally, this Christmas countdown calendar. Such fun to make and even more fun for the kids to change up every day.

  14. I love the non-layout projects.
    the little one playing the drum, the clock, the pumpkin - I don't scrapbook so the other types of projects appeal to me more. I did love your first page with the embellishment that could be pulled out to see more photos. Clever idea. thanks for sharing. I'm afraid I don't like in Australia - would love to visit.
    Happy New Year.
