Undies

I've been wanting to use these pics for ages!! When I saw that you had to use a number in this month's Paper Stories sketch - I finally had a chance :)

Erin went through a mad phase, where she would put on a couple of Josh's underpants each day. Usually it was 2 or 3 at the most. On this occasion we were in hysterics to find she had 9 pairs on!! The girl is mad!

































This layout also gave me a chance to try a couple of the new release Greatest View flair





I've used a couple very cool printables from Miss Tina which I found on Pinterest.










































I've also used a couple of Imaginarium Designs number 9 chippies which I inked










































This is the very cool sketch

























Products used: Dear Lizzy Neapolitan Stickers, Heidi Swapp Colour Magic paper, Tattered Angels glimmer mist, Pink Paislee clear cards, SC Wood Veneer #232 & 200, Jo Sonjas Acrylic, Pink Paislee printable, Chevron ribbon & flair - Greatest View, Pink Paislee Portfolio 6x6, Basic Grey clear accent, Glitz Design Hello Friend peekaboos, Imaginarium Designs Chipboard number IDN0001& IDN0002, Glitz washi, Prima Washi, Kaisercraft Quote stickers, Studio Calico Scrap Pads & Miss Tina printables

School is COOL!

Hello Monday! Where did my weekend go...?

Hopefully your little ones are settling into life at school. I have some tasty little goodies to share with you on this fine day, that will hopefully get you inspired to scrap those gorgeous 'back to school' shots!

I also have some more exciting news to share! As many of you know, I love the delicious treats that Gail creates at Greatest View. Well, to my delight, I have been asked to design alongside the amazing ladies she has on her team!! Yeehaa!

Now the latest release is totally swoon-worthy! Perfect for back to school, Project Life or just 'life' in general!




Thanks to the amazing response my little Aussie set received, I was encouraged to design some more PL cards (for personal use only please), perfect for back to school. They would go SO well with these flair!

Enjoy and have fun!

1..2..3...

Hello my lovelies, as you can see I have been sporting a rather fetching new badge (grin). I didn't want to just throw a side comment in, and there's been so much going lately - but now is the perfect time for me to tell you all about the new challenge blog that I will be designing for.. 1-2-3... Challenge Blog!






On the first of each month a Challenge will be announced based on 3 criteria, a Word, a Colour and a Theme. Sounds fun, right?

There are going to be loads of exciting challenges, and some wonderful sponsors have come on board! The all-new Creative Team will be split into two, so you get stacks of inspiration over the course of the month!

The first challenge will go live on March 1st so please remember to check it out and play along. You can also like us on Facebook :)

Hope to see you all there!

An experiment...

Ok so I have been in fervent conversations about Project Life lately. For me, right now, I can't see myself tackling it successfully, but for you wonderful people out there, working so very diligently on them, I offer a small gift. Special thanks goes to the fabulous Emma Stafrace for showing me how to link the files for download!!

This little set is an experiment. I want (and plan) to make more of these little beauties, but it really depends on how they go down of course! I've started off with a few 'Aussie' themed Project Life cards for the recent Australia Day celebrations. If you haven't got around to doing your pages yet, these may come in handy...















































If you would like this 'kraft' themed set, you can download it here














































If you would prefer this toned down version, you can download it here

I'd love to know your thoughts... and if you actually make anything with them, I'd be totally chuffed to see how it turns out!

Thanks (as ever) for visiting!

Hello Delicious Monster!

... And hello February! A pinch and a punch...

I am super excited to finally share some of the DT work I have been up to for Sassy Scrappers!

This layout (my first 8.5x11!) is for the February sketch. Why don't you join us, it's a fab one!



This month I got to play with the very yummy Simple Stories Sn@p Life collection

Those hexagons in the sketch got me very excited, so I cut a few from a Crafter's Workshop Hexagon template

I wanted to add interest by using a variety of sizes and materials. The embroidery sewing was inspired by Melinda Spinks who always does the most amazing sewing on her creations!


Some Cameo cut text. I used 'Lobster' which is used in the Sn@p collection. Look at that cheeky face!! Erin had just turned one.

I popped my journaling onto this little pull out tag I hid behind the photo.

Products used: Simple Stories Sn@p paper #2812; #2807; #2806; #2808; Stickers #4018; Journaling #2804; fundamentals cardstock stickers #2802; Sn@p Alpha stickers;  Crafters Workshop Hexagon 6x6 template; bakers twine; Shimmerz paints Vibez Jeni B Bleu; Kaisercraft tiny alphas; Embroidery thread; heart pin; Silhouette Cameo

There is lots more exciting stuff happening and some delicious inspiration from the Sassy Team, so feel free to pop over and leave us a bit of love ;)

See you soon!
