a favourite photo...

DO you have a favourite photo of your kiddies. This I think is my all time fav photo of my eldest taken when he was about 11 month old. It was at my mum and dad's and he used to love playing with the drain cover when we were there! This also served as my final project for Elle's Studio, so thankful for this opportunity!
Finally cutting into my stash of that October Afternoon cowboy paper!

 OOOO a new Woodgrain button from Greatest View! ( don't forget about the GIVEAWAY happening all this week on the Greatest View blog )

 Ancient Making Memories metal letters!

Birthdays..

If you are anything like me I always leave it till the last minute to make my cards for family and friends. I whipped these two up recently each just took me ten minutes - they came together easily  because I used some fun fun birthday buttons from Greatest View. They both use some delish Core'dinations cardstock.

 If you want to win some birthday badges we're featuring  on the Greatest View blog all week as well as a sampler of small chevron bags and a couple of metres of co-ordinated  chevron ribbon, simply leave a comment on this post over at Greatest View  and tell us if YOU make your own birthday cards!


The giveaway will run all week so come back each day for more chances to win! The winner will be announced Monday July 1st.

This was my last month as part of Elle's Studio DT, it had been a wonderful 6 months and I want to thank Elle for this amazing experience. I have two gallery projects to share today using the new Summer collection of tags!

 OH that moustache button from Greatest View is my favourite ATM.

 ...and you can't go past the original chevron button from Greatest View either!

The other one....

I love looking back through photos of my boys from when they were little and remembering all the sweet things about them at that time. My newest layout today shares my youngests milestones at 2 months. Another layout for Core'dinations and Bella Blvd's team up this week.

 Core'dinations cardstock is perfect for utilizing all those different embossing folders you have in your stash!

 Don't forget there are giveways on both The Core'dinations and Bella Blvd blogs all this week!

Our sleeping Prince...

Over at Core'dinations this week we got to swap with one of my favourites- Bella Blvd, I created two layouts and a card, today I wanted to share my first layout about my son when he was two days old, sleeping so peacefully in his crib at the hospital.... the soft baby boy's line from Bella Blvd suited the soft feel to my layout as well that fabulous cogs embossing folder from Darice that I used on my Core cardstock set the scene for a fabulous boys page

Be Sure to head over to Core'dinations and Bella Blvd all this week for fabulous inspiration and giveways!

Little Black Dress...

A while a go I created this set of cards using the gorgeous Little Black Dress collection from Basic Grey...so easy to mix and match embellies and papers for a sophisticated look!

Be sure to come back tomorrow for a  fabulous giveaway....

I live my life for you....

Recently during my online course with Heidi Swapp we were asked to create a project using a song. I decided to create this project using our song we danced to at our wedding, chosen most brilliantly by my husband. I have used one of Heidi's File folders again, perfect for some hidden journalling.
The front cover.

 Before I go, I want to share a special photo  from the weekend Scrapbook and paper Craft Expo here in Brisbane...what an incredible experience, teaching and promoting Core'dinations cardstock, talking and sharing my experiences to like wise scrappers in the studio and the highlight seeing my layouts hanging in the Scrapbooking Memories Masters gallery- an absolute dream come true!

like this Tuggah..

When my youngest was under one , my eldest had a nickname for him "Tuggah"we dont know how it started, but it stuck for a long while. I have used the yummy PB&J collection from Basic Grey as well as some Core'dinations Cardstock.

 Before I go I hope to see many of you this weekend at the paper craft show here in Brisbane, please come and say hello.. There are still spaces available for my classes using some delish Core'dinations and Jullibean Soup products if you are looking for something extra to do!
