Shhh.....It's A Secret!

Have you heard the news!
Prima has a big secret and I am certainly intrigued (I love a good mystery.....lol)


Let's face it, everything Prima does is exceptional so I am sure it's going to be HUGE!
Check out what all the fuss is about here.....

Ducks?

I went back to the dreaded "Photos To Scrap" folder today and was determined to use another older photo. This one is from March last year!!!! I am soooo naughty....lol Anyways I was in the mood to try something a little different today so I came up with this layout. I have a "THING" for unusual colour combinations lately and I just can't help putting some unlikely combos together. This was basically burgundy and aqua but I left all the chipboard natural to throw a little extra into the mix :)

And I have to ask the question again. Why do all kids love feeding ducks????....lol


Also I received this lovely award today from Corrina at My Scrap Burrow. Thank you so much :)


I am supposed to pass it on to 6 people but I always feel like a big meanie giving it to 6 because there are plenty of inspirational bloggers out there who equally deserve an award. So I am calling this one a freebie. Please feel free to grab it and display it on your blog and pass it on to some more beautiful people who deserve a little sunshine :)

February Flying By

There are just a few more days left in February (boy has that flown by!) so if you haven't already entered a layout for Scrap The Girls, make sure you get in quick. There has been some awesome, inspiring entries this month and next month's challenge is sure to get heaps of interest as well. Can't tell you what it is yet but I can give you a sneak peek at my DT example!....lol



Are you intrigued......lol
I loved this challenge a LOT!

Check back here at the start of March to see the full reveal!

A Misty Magical Morning

If you lived in outer western Sydney like me you would have seen a magical sight this morning. While driving the kids to school I looked up to see the Blue Mountains covered in misty clouds. Beautiful!!!
It reminded me of a photo I took last year on another drive we had up the mountains one day. It was cold and wet and very misty but there is always something magical about walking around on a day like that.
Anyway I came home and found the photo in my "Photos To Scrap Folder" and came up with this layout. Now I feel really good because I promised I would try and catch up on scrapping that folder.....lol

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentines Day everyone!
I made this little heart shaped box courtesy of a template I got from MelStampz and some Bazzill and Spellbinders

My gorgeous husband had this presented to him this morning along with some Chilli Chocolate!!!



Full product list can be found here

Hope everyone has a special day :)

Easter Gifts

Quick post!
Just wanted to share this Easter Gift Cone that I made for my CPT work with DownUnder Direct.
Yeah I hate to think about it but it will be here real soon (wasn't Christmas just yesterday????). The supermarkets have started filling the shelves with all that chocolate goodness already!!!!

Fast and easy to make and a small bag of little choccie eggs fills it up perfectly! Yummy....


There is a tutorial and a full product list here if you want to check it out.

Thanks for calling in :)

Have Faith

I had the opportunity to use a new set of Spellbinders Paper Arts dies that were released at CHA last month.
The gorgeous Cross Collection produces beautiful, elegant crosses in 4 shapes and sizes.


I was originally going to make an Easter card with these but decided to keep it a multi-purpose card and used the Have Faith stamp from the JustRite Tiny Words Set inside the card.
I couldn't decide which of the crosses I liked best so I layered all of them on top of each other using foam tape.

The full product list can be viewed here


This gorgeous set should be available in Australia next month :)

Back To School Projects

February is the month that everyone will want to scrap those back to school pics (or first day at school!).
For my DT work at My2Angels I scrapped a layout of my son Brady at the last assembly last year where he received an Award For Achievement In Literacy.
A very "Proud Mummy" moment :)

New JustRite Stamps

Just a quick post today to share a card I made as part of my CPT work for DownUnder Direct. I used one of these gorgeous new JustRite Stamps from the Beautiful Blossoms set that were released at CHA last month. Absolutely gorgeous and they should arrive here in Australia soon.



Here is the card I made

Bazzill : Bazzill Just The Edge : Bazzill In Stitchz Piercing Tool & Mat : Spellbinder Scalloped Oval : Copic Markers : Zing Embossing Powder - Chestnut : My2Angels - Pearls : Ribbon : VersaMark Ink
_______________________________________________

I got to play with my new toy for this card. After years of deliberation (I don't know why it took me so long), I finally purchased a Heat Tool and Embossing Powders from My2Angels. If only I knew how addictive and fun that was going to be.....lol

P.S. The heat tool just happens to be pink. I think that's half the fun!!!

What Is Normal???

Kids are back at school (yeah I admit I miss them a bit!)

Mum & Nan gone home again (yeah I miss them a lot!)

House returning to some kind or crazy normality (still very full though!)

I haven't been able to blog hop much (missing that. Sorry everyone!)

Haven't played with paper for ages (getting very itchy fingers!)

So to anyone I haven't visited for a while, I will get there eventually (promise!). I have a list of DT and CT commitments to tackle in the next couple of weeks and some gorgeous new goodies I haven't even opened yet (aaaahhhhh!).

So for today I will share a Valentine's card that I haven't had the chance to post on my blog yet. This was made using some gorgeous goodies from My2Angels. You can click on the product name and it will take you directly to the right page in the shop.
