Sunshine and Kraft

*Click here for Sassy Scrappers Blog Hop & Giveaway*


I'm back again (I did warn that September is a busy one! lol)

Popping in to share my DT layout for Kraft it Up! this month. Loving the sketch challenge we have going this month. Would love to see you play along!

I've kept the circular shapes quite minimal, pulling out a few here and there.

The 'sunshine' card is a very cool Chictags cutting file.

This Greatest View anchor badge goes perfectly with the nautical and circular theme in the sketch.

Materials used: Paper: Glitz; Crate; Kraft card stock. Embellishments: Greatest View flair; Crate 'The Pier' stickers; Elle's Studio cutout; Kaisercraft wooden flourish; sequins; gesso; twine; Silhouette Cameo

If you fancy, you can share your layouts on the KIU Facebook page as well

Please remember to have your entries linked no later than 11.59pm September 30th. Looking forward to seeing your entries!

See you soon

What a weekend! It's the most beautiful time of year around my part of the world. If only it could stay warm (and dry!) all summer. Not looking forward to the humidity that will surely hit our shores in the coming weeks.

I'm just popping in with a few shares from this week. It felt a bit manic!

This layout, using My Mind's Eye, Cut & Paste 'Adorbs' was on the Sassy Scrappers blog on Friday. For more closeups, you can pop over to the blog by clicking here

On Saturday it was my turn on the 2Crafty blog. I had loads of fun making these guys!

For more information on how I created these pieces using 2Crafty chippies, click here

Don't forget that the Sassy Scrapper Blog Hop is happening all month and each DT member has a little something to win if you play along, not forgetting the $50 voucher you could win overall! The link is at the top of the page.

Wishing you a pleasant rest of your Sunday.

Till next time

Lucky Sevens - OUAS September challenge

*Click here for Sassy Scrappers Blog Hop & Giveaway*


Hello hello - so much to share this month. September has only just begun and already I can see so far down the track!

Popping in again with a layout for Once Upon a Sketch's September challenge.

Another fabulous sketch to play along with this month and the Journalling Theme: "Lucky"

You are free to interpret our theme any way you like but please make sure your layout is based on the sketch below and includes some journalling (hidden journalling is fine)

This is my take...

My little girl took her time in choosing us as her parents. Much loved, much wanted, she finally made her arrival in July of 2010. The number seven surrounds her, hence the title. I've hidden some personal journalling behind the main image.

Once again, a Greatest View flair adds the perfect sentiment.

To add a bit of extra texture and depth, I've hand-stitched along the printed banner on the paper. I've cut some little flags and raised them on foam dots and finally dangled a heart wood chip from the stitching.

Materials used: Glitz 'Sunshine in my Soul' paper & stickers; Basic Grey 'Clippings' journalling card; Greatest View flair; Freckled Fawn wood chips; Prima stamp; sequins; needle & thread


Hopefully you can find the time to join us.
Entries close midnight August 25th (Australian Eastern Standard Time)

Thank you for stopping by!

I have a little 'skeletal' fun happening over on the Greatest View blog at the moment... We'd love you to pop over for a look, if you were so inclined ;)

Some goodies for the Daddy's

Hello again!

Yep, it seems it's an 'all-or-nothing' kinda week. I'm hoping to catch up with you this weekend. I've missed everyone!

I'm sharing some not-so-secret-anymore, Father's Day crafty bits, 

on the Sassy Scrappers blog today.

Pop over to check out how I popped these babies together, along with lots of pics.

A warm welcome to some new followers too! So thrilled to have you here :)

Have a fabulous weekend!

Hello again lovelies

How flippin' funny is this pic?! My dear fur 'nephews', are much-loved, much pampered pooches, full of personality. I was convinced this was a pic of the one, Hugo, debuting his sense of style! Turns out it's a rather famous pug called Norm! lol. (I fell for that one hook line and sinker!) Hope his mum doesn't mind me using this hilarious shot for the Jot Magazine colour challenge this month. Black is the new black daaaahling! The photo was taken by über talented Jeremy Veach. You can find him on Instagram #jermzlee.

I really had fun grabbing loads of black and white stuff out of my stash and seeing what could be used where. Base layer is a mix of silver and black embossing powder using a Crafter's Workshop Aztec template. I'm sure you've seen loads of these Greatest View arrow flair on my layouts. LOVE them!

I've given this 2Crafty chevron chippie a 'Microbead Makeover'. If you don't want any of the raw chipboard colour to show through, make sure you give it a slick of mist or paint beforehand.

This is the moodboard for August...

Thanks so much for stopping by. You can also find me on Facebook these days.

Till next time
