pink??

Hope your sitting down, because...
I was just sitting here working out what I want to blog realised I have some pink things!
Shock?

It was heaps and heaps of fun.
Danced the blues away and dusted off my pink supplies!!

Prima Product picks is so happy and fun this month and its has pink!
Sometimes we look at colour palettes and we really like them, but we also are aware that they are not colours that you can confidently use. This palette was one I really liked, but knew I wouldn't be to pull it off as well as others. When we have those little fears it's sometimes best to do something small so you can experiment and simply play.
So with that in mind I created a mixed media tag. I love the colours and hope that soon I can do another project with that palette.

Scrapfriends new colour challenge also has like a dusty peachy pink. 
Challenging??
yes!!
Fun?
yes!!
.

 Thats from the studio.

Plenty to do before Kindy pick up!

Happy Friday!

coffee break!!

I have been doing something very exciting in my studio this morning. I have recorded my first EVER video tutorial  I think i re-record about 30 times!
No joke.
I would say the wrong word,
or my phone would start ringing,
or a salesman would come to the door,
or there would be a weird background noise, like the dog barking.
Ah, a few more greys hairs added!! tee hee

oh wait another interupation as I type this.
The mailman at the door!!!

oooooh I think some little men have been mothers day shopping online.

ok, so...
I wanted to take a wee break and share with you a cute little mixed media tag. This is made for Frosted designs new challenge, black and white plus one other colour.
Now, in all honestly I knew I wouldn't be able to pull of those colours real well on a full blown 12 x 12 page, so I went with something I knew i would enjoy and not stress about!!
smart thinking, right?

I just pulled out my scraps and way I went.
Of course I added Prima!!

This morning I had my first mothers day morning with Brae at Kindy. I was treated to a hand an foot massage!
It was the best morning, my heart is so full of love and all those warm and fuzzy things!!

ok, coffee cup is empty, time to do a few more things in the studio!!

Happy weekend :)

new scrapbooking goodness!!

I have been busy for a reason!
A very fun creativity reason!
No time waffle, straight into it.

First I want to share with you my last two projects from my Guest spot at A piece of cake designs! I of course added in Prima flowers, how could I not!!

My last page I tried to use all the fun bright happy colours in the kit. I just played, experimented and had heaps fun.

My other project I want to share is this months sketch at Scrapfriends. I so love Angelas sketches. They always take me to a place I never thought I would go,
a place where I simply play,
a place where I experiment with design,
a place where I use different products.

 Lastly I have a Prima share. I created a super cute little card for Mothers day.
I think I might just have to get my little boys to write in it, cause I kind a like this card!! tee hee

 ok, enough for one day uh!

Heaps and heaps going on in my studio, again!!

Happy Thursday :)

Guest design at A Piece of Cake designs!

Hi sweet  friends.

I just want to pop by and share with you a couple pages from A Piece of Cake desgins. Thanks so much Raquel for having me as a Guest designer.

It is not surprising that the Arpil kit has sold out, its just perfect to bring the sunshine into your studio. 

Firstly, most of you all know that I am a scrapper that is cluster and layers like mad! Well, I put myself to the challenge to only use the contents of the kit! I say challenging because I normal load my pages with embellishments,  maybe I go a bit over the top, but anyways.

I was pretty stocked to created a page that I like with only kit contents. 

 Another page also using only kit contents!

I have more projects to come using the kit!

Happy Friday!

Hellooooo on a monday

Just popping by quickly, well, actually taking a mini break from getting sorted with our new house. We are off on a mini little adventure with my family, shopping for house things, like curtains, ceiling fans, light fittings, tap fittings.. all that fun stuff. But hey an normal person would jump in the car and drive the 3 hours, well, my husband has other plans. We are taking a plan trip over to Rockhampton! Yes a little 10 seater twin engine plane, not something I would choose, but hey with excited boys, I will treat it as an adventure!! I am sure I will have plenty stories to tell!!

So I am sharing first up a page from the Scrapfriends mid-month sketch. I was totally blown away with where this sketch too me. I love all the texture and those gelatos.. Love em!!

Whilst we are talking about new house, I created a page for the start of our new visitors book. Fairy Rhymes seemed perfect to use!

ok. better scoot, need to get to the paint shop to grab a sample colour of the walls to take with me tomorrow!

Happy Monday :)
