Catch up

Here are a few things that have been published in Australian Paper Crafts.

J'adore was featured in the Artist and the Stamp article, last month. Second and third are from this month's issue.

I know we just had Christmas, but I guess Easter is early this year, and I made this card purely from bits in my stash!

Also one lucky last one to share! As soon as I saw that candle, I really wanted to use it on a birthday card! LOL!

Don't forget that Crop for Kids is nearly here, so if you don't want to miss out, pop over to the website and buy a ticket.

All of a sudden my little boy became a big kid, and headed off to school for his first day as a Prep... I held back the tears until DH and I got back home and read the little poem his teacher gave us.

The First Day

I gave you a nod and smile

As you entered my room today.

For I know your child must stay.

You've been with him for five years now

And have been a loving guide,

But now, alas, the time has come

To leave him at my side.

Just know that as you drive away

And tears down your cheeks may flow

I'll care for him as I would my own

And help him learn and grow.

So please put your mind at ease

And cry those tears no more

For I will care for him and take him in

When you leave him at my door.

Busy

I have been very creative lately... busy finishing up bits and pieces.

Here are a few more cards that I have done recently.

This one is using Making Memories {note}worthy range of papers- really lurrrrve this range.

Second one is another fav of mine using Melissa Frances paper. They were so easy to work with.

Will be back soon to share some more goodies too.

Christmas cards

Over at Melissa Phillip's blog, she set a Christmas card challenge with the following:

Create a HOLIDAY card using the following:
1. Chipboard
2. Rubon
3. Buttons
4. Glitter
5. Ribbon
6. And, polka-dots of course!

I started making Christmas cards the other day, and realised that my second one fitted the challenge too

Trick or Treat!

Te-he! Happy Halloween!

It felt more like Friday the 13 when I started having computer problems; but all fixed now :)



I received my first acceptance from Scrapbook Creations yesterday!

Speaking of scrapping, this layout was done the other night (used elements and kits from 2 Peas and Shabby Princess).

I'm busy finishing off a few more deadlines for Australian Paper Crafts, almost done and then I can send it off.

Also have my mini Christmas kit from Scrapping Angels, and just love that Christmas is just around the corner. I've started making my Christmas cards, and had a little photo shoot yesterday too while we were home.

Scrapping Angels

I've had such a great day today! Been really busy catching up with friends and then I received a call from one of the publishers! WOW! I was also heading off to the scrapbook shop when I received the call LOL!

Ok, for more exciting news, my Deluxe Designer kit "Springtime Moments" is out at Scrapping Angels and I really love all the yummy/gorgeous assortment of goodies I've had to play with, this time around. I can show you sneak peaks, but if you want to see more, head over to Scrapping Angels and have a look. You won't be disappointed.

Another acceptance!

My "Appreciate"card with the butterfly and Making Memories paper has been accepted for Australian Paper Crafts #75!

Head over to the Crop 4 Kids blog and check out the fabulous Design a Chippie Competition!

Scrap Pile Cyber crop

The first two are cards I designed for my challenge on Friday night. The theme was food -and, as I love card making at the moment, couldn't help myself not using pastel colours (LOL!). I used a photo of the heart sprinkles in the first and the second, I used the cupcake rub on.

The layout is one from the challenges from the cyber crop at Scrap Pile and had to use my Stampin Up stamps.

I'm also busy creating my 4 layouts for my kit for Scrapping Angels. The kit is really delish and I am really having fun putting it together. I'll share some sneak peaks soon!

Oh yes, my layout "You told me once" is out in FK this month issue 59.

The courier delivered it home this morning, and Lee was excited to see it in the magazine.
