You are Loved Mini Card

The Stamp Set You are loved, featured in the New Summer Mini Stampin Up catalogue has been very popular. It has so many versatile uses and really is so beautiful. The will be a card completed at an upcoming Event for some very special Girls... Can you guess who you are???

A Special Scrapbook frame.

I was asked to simply decorate the photo for a special friend of my MIL but when I seen all these beautiful flowers and this lovely 12 x 12 frame I new I had to perfect combination. The lady was mourning the anniversary of her husbands passing on Friday and I had this all ready to be given to her on Friday afternoon. I hope it helped to bring a smile to her face on a sad day.

Easter Will be hopping on by before we know it.

I can't believe I am up to my 3rd packet of Hot Cross Buns and Easter Eggs are filling the shelves in the shops. So I thought I would share this very cute card I made. Sometimes its nice to send a little gift in the card you make so I made this super cute little Book mark to co-ordinate with the Card. It slides into the pocket in the front of the card. You may notice I have a NEW favourite Embossing Folder Finial Press.

Project 365 - Week #3

I had so much fun collecting the photos for this page although I am sure Robbo didn't think 2 barb wire fences and and a Bull that wanted to befriend him was Fun. But him and Harry go off to the Diary Farm most weekends and I was treated to the royal tour of the Dairy.

Who would have thought recording the cost of MILK could be so much fun.

Hand Made with Love

I had my 2nd workshop for 2012 this week and I decided to make this very cute note book as a little trial for an upcoming Event. Very cute and definitely Fun I think.

PROJECT 365- 2012

So this is a Project I hope some of you may like to join in on share your pages in this album. Project 365 was initiated through Scrapbook Divas as a project where you would scrap a page a Day/Week/Month(You choose) and share all the little and Big things about 2012 as an album for future generations to look back on and share. I am going to make my album a little different and YOU can to. I am going to scrapbook a page a week capturing the cost of everyday living in 2012. The price of Fuel, Fruit, Food, Movies and all the other little things we enjoy to do but really don't think twice about now. Wouldn't it be wonderful for our children or grandchildren to look back and know what life was like in 2012.

As this album is for my children and about life with my children in 2012 I thought it was only fitting that my 1st week be all about them. Although taken in 2011 it really reflects all of them and there beautiful nature.

Please let me know if you would like to join me and I will help you getting your Album Started.

At long Last some scrapping..

I have not scrapped in such a long time and everything I did do just didn't seem finished. But this has been the week for me. I started the roll with this very cute Double page of Zac. In this house if its wet or muddy its alive and well..lol

I LOVE Crystal Affects and the wet glossy look it gives.

Nature Walk KeyRings.

Sale-a-Bration 2012 is upon us and its so exciting but I thought it would be fun to offer something other than cards and boxes and I have made these super cute little personalised Key Rings. They would make a very special little gift for someone special.

Personalised for someone special in their favourite colours and Initial.

Diary of our Life 2012

Since Mid 2011 I lost all interest in my scrapbooking and I have really struggled so I was so excited to see this project being run by Scrapbook Diva's. To join in and all the information follow the link.
