A weekend with " I ♥ Summer"

Hellooooooo

Well I have a ton of layout here that I have stacked up wanting to share with you.. 

And I have finally managed to find some time to take the photos and now to blog them.. So it is now a process of getting this all done.. 

So I wanted to start of by sharing this layout I made of my two little babes.. we took a trip to our local park in town on a gorgeous Spring / Summer afternoon .

 I have been trying to take them out as much as possible while the weather is so gorgeous .

I used my Couture Creations dies to help create this layout and my Tim Holtz rosette die to create the centres. I love doing this and creating multicolored flowers. This seems to be a little love of mine right now actually!! 

I used mainly used the Nakeisha : Pointed Flowers die from the Ultimate Crafts collection from Couture Creations.. You can check out their site HERE. 

Well thanks so much for stopping by !!

And thank you again to those that take the time to leave me a comment!! I really do love reading them and appreciate them so much ♥ 

Till next time 

Much love

A weekend with " Car Classic for BoBunny"

Helllooo.... 

Well I have a share of a BoBunny layout I created using the super fun Wild Card collection.. They were a perfect match of a photo of the kids and I in front of a vingtage car at the Brisbane State Museum. 

The kids had never been before and it just so happened that the Scrapbooking expo was also on the weekend we went down.. ( I know - total coincidence right ??)

The kids just loved the museum and we got to see so many different fun things.. But just as we walked into the centre we spotted this little gem.. 

I decided to somehow go with a circular type theme with the layout, so I used a lot of the chipboard and noteworthy pieces to use across the page. 

It was so fun to layer all the different pieces.. I have a few more ideas of other layouts I can use with this collection also.. 

Thanks so much for stopping by

Till next time

A weekend with " My Star layout"

Hellooooo.....

I stuffed up this layout.. 

Yup

I started off this layout  with a crisp white background. I was loving how it was going and how all the bright colours well just working so well together. 

But then when I stood back towards the end of the layout, it just needed something a little more. 

Sooooo

I decided to add a little light grey watercolour towards the outer edges of the star.. I really didn't like the look of it.. it was just so blah.... 

So I tired to fix it!! hmmm this is where is went down hill for me ...

The grey edges stood out way to much so I decided to colour the whole background instead to try and make it blend.. I am still not sure if that was the right thing to do. But it is done now. 

So to try and help blend in the background a little more I splattered around some of the grey Studio Calico ink.. 

I am thinking now that it is not so bad and the more that I look at the photo of my little star, it makes me smile and utterly happy. That has to count for something right ??

Well thanks so much for stopping by... 

Till next time

A weekend with " Buddy layout for Bobunny"

Hellloooo..

Welcome to another Friday ..

Well it is time to share my BoBunny social media layout that I created for them this week using the " Wild Card"  collection. 

These photos of my son and his father would have to be one of my favourites of them together. Although my ex husband and I are no longer together I still think it is important to record those memories.. not for me, but for my son. I KNOW he will look back at these one day and cherish this layout.. It just shows how much he adores his daddy and wants to be just like him, even down to the clothes he wears. 

I am at the stage now that I scrapbook photos like this of my ex husband without crying or falling apart thinking about the " what ifs" . It took me a long time and I am so glad I did not go and throw out all of the photos out of anger or sadness.. 

So on a lighter note here are some pictures :) 

I just love using my sewing machine... especially through titles.. 

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a fabulous weekend.. 

Till next time 

Much love

A weekend with "Hey Santa Baby"

Helloooo..

Well I thought I would share with you my very last Scrapbooking Memories Magazine " Masters Challenge"  for the American Crafts challenge. 

We were sent some of their patterned papers from their Christmas collection and some of the pretty glitter snowflakes.. 

I decided  I wanted to use all of the papers that I was sent, so decided to create a chevron background . I also used the Maggie Holmes bow die - which I just love using as much as possible.. 

I decided to contrast the stitch with red thread.. I was a little nervous as I knew any mistakes would show up.. I think it turned out ok though :) 

Thanks so much for stopping by 

Till next time 

Much love

A weekend with " Love This! " Misc Me for BoBunny.

Hellooo there!!! 

Well it was my turn to share my Misc Me spread over on the BoBunny blog last Monday.. My assignments was to use the new Chevron Double Dot cardstock range with the super pretty Double Dot Jewels.. I LOVE this combination..  

I decided to pull out the brighter colours from the double dot range to go with these fun photos from our day out at the park with the kids. 

 I kept the Misc Me spread fairly simple this time around as the Double Dot papers were so bright and vibrant in colour. I also created little " Flowers" on my layout, by using my circle punch, folding the circle into fours, and then snipping out little petals. I love adding these to so many of my projects for extra pops of colours.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I do hope that perhaps you try and find different ways to use your Double Dot Chevron papers. 

Till next time 

Much love

A weekend with " Sunshine - File Folder Mini Album"

Helloooo...

Well a little while ago I ventured to our local stationery supply store - Office works - to quickly grab some goodies for the home office.. 

When the new " Paper Storage" isle caught my eye..lol.. yes if you love paper like me then you I KNOW you are giggling on the inside.. I went a little giddy at the knees.. as I LOVE colour and I love storage.. combine the two and well .. I am in love.. 

So when I saw these new folders I instantly knew that I wanted to create a mini album as such, using the Pink Paislee - Hello Sunshine Collection that I just pulled out onto my scrap desk. 

For the cover I decided to use one of the left over paper flowers that I made for THIS layout using the Couture Creations dies . 

To create the actual mini - album style album , I simply sewed into the spine a 6x8 and a 6x12 Project life photo sleeve . Super easy and fast !!! 

I decided I wanted to use the tabs somehow in the album, so after completing the photo pockets I sewed on the tabs to the outside of the photo sleeve.. 

Then from the the rest of the photos you can see how the album came together :) 

Well thanks so much for stopping by today!! I loved creating this mini and I have a million ideas running through my mind of what else I can create with the other files I saw back at the office works store:) 

Till next time 

Much love
