Sweet Treats

How cute are these little goodie bags I made for my sons classmates!

They use one of 12 free Heidi Swapp printables which you can download here along with some delicious stripey bags from Greatest View. I popped some chocolate Santas inside for a sweet christmas treat.

I also tried my hand at doing something I saw on Pinterest for our Teacher Aide, but because of the size of the Gloria Jean's voucher it didn't turn out quite so neat, lol. It also uses a Heidi Swapp printable

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Let's Mash it Up!

Heidi Swapp is mashing it up with the help of a Mash-Up blog hop! 

The aim of the game is taking elements from two or more collections and combining them to make something fabulous! She asked each of her media team members to name two Heidi Swapp products and compile a Mash-Up List. Then, each team member took the full list and used that (and more!) to create their first Mash-Up project! To see Kim's, click here

Here is the Mash-Up List:

At least 1 Day Glow Photo Corner
Sentiment Stickers
Color Magic Paper
Note Card (either Vintage Chic or Color Magic Notes)
Buzz Words
Color Magic Chipboard Alphas
At least 2 Pattern Papers from Different Heidi Swapp Collections
Neon Glow Tape
Staple
Handwriting - either your own or Heidi's digital words

I would love to be in with a chance to win a gorgeous Vintage Chic collection! This is my mashie.... what do ya think?

I used a combination of Sugar Chic and Vintage Chic papers. I printed Heidi's digital handwriting word 'Fun' in a combination of colours and opacitys onto some Vintage Chic paper and ran a few lines of black machine stitching over the top.

I also printed the digital words 'crazy' and 'sweet' onto this gorgeous Vintage Chic tag. I dyed some seam binding with Chalkboard Glimmer mist in Charcoal and tied the tag along with a Vintage Chic Color Magic tag (which I also misted with the Charcoal) The little bundle is accessorised with a neon pink pin!

We also had to use some resist paper, so I misted this hexagonal patterned one with some Glimmer Mist in Frozen Lake. I cut some of the hexagons out so they could show the paper below. Finished off with some of Heidi's amazing neon orange washi tape.

The title makes use of some Color Magic chipboard alphas (which I also misted with Charcoal). I wanted to mix it up a bit and thought I would play around with the staples which were on the mash up list. Here I've replaced the 'R' with some divine pink staples I found. You can also see my sneaky photo corner!

This is one crazy character!

If you want to play along too, take the Mash-Up list and let it help you create your next project! You can upload your project to Heidi Swapp's Facebook Fan Page with a link to your project online or Instagram it by adding @heidiswapp and the hash tag #HSMashUp ! Those that play along will be entered to win a fabulous Vintage Chic Collection! One random winner will be picked by Monday, December 3, 2012. 

Hope you all enjoyed the weekend!

Bah Hum Bug

A pinch and punch for the first of the month! In my house, it's always a race to see who gets everyone first in the morning. Today my son was the first to dish them out! lol

This is my first layout as part of the Once Upon a Sketch DT. Whoohoo! The December sketch challenge has a Christmas theme and I chose to scrap about all the things I love about this jolly month.

Here is the sketch

I rotated it 90 degrees to the right

There are so many things to love about December, I wanted to use lots of photos! So, to keep the layout 'clean', I made a little booklet and attached it to the page. I've used a beautiful Dear Lizzy 'Fifth & Frolic' page as the background along with some festive chevron ribbon and that gorgeous flair from Greatest View

I do lurve a bit of glitter... How delicious are these Pink Paislee alphas!

The first spread talks about our nightly ritual as a family - where we grab a little ice cream from McDonald's and drive around to hunt for the best christmas light display. 

Both of my kids are crazy for Gingerbread. So much fun to make your own (even if it's slightly cheating if the mix comes out of a box! lol)

What do you say Santa? I've been good, Cameo pretty please?

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

Hip Hip Hooray - It's Friday!

These last few weeks have been crazy! With the end of the year fast approaching, it seems my tiny little post-it note reminders are just not cutting the mustard anymore!

Today is especially exciting because I can finally reveal that I will be joining some fabulously talented designers on the Once Upon a Sketch DT! Yay! This is my first DT and I'm so honoured and thrilled to have been selected. Really looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!

Here's a little sneaky peek of my first sketch for the team which will be revealed tomorrow on the blog... Very exciting!

Thanks for dropping by!

Holy Guacamole!

My time without internet left me feeling like I had lost a limb, lol! LOOK what happened whilst I was 'away'!!

Lickety Split

With my recent telecomms dramas I needed a little sweetness in my life...

My mouse LOVES ice cream! Quite often it goes to waste (or Mum, lol) but the moment her eyes see the cone she just lights up.

I was trimming the little polaroids out and looked down to see them lying in a very pleasing pile! I pretty much glued them straight where they fell.

I came to own that precious American Crafts ice cream cone a while ago and have been dying to use it ever since!

I'm quite in love with my new 'Hello Friend' peek-a-boos from Glitz and some rather delicious Pink Paisley 'Portfolio' ephemera

A little snip of journaling can be removed from it's cutaway hideout
