I really love deer images and decorations, so when I was thinking about creating a pattern to make, I knew exactly what I wanted! I already had the supplies I needed, so it was just a matter of the pattern. When I couldn’t find what I wanted, I decided to make my own free cross …
This week was a big week! The kids and I went on a trip to visit my grandparents and the kids great-grandparents in Bundaberg. We had an excellent time with Grandma and Pop and I have some beautiful memories that I’ll cherish forever. We did all the tourist things like go to the beach for …
I know this post is quite late in the year, but I only just remembered this place existed! Just before the end of 2018, I was flicking through my old scrapbook albums and I came across my 2013 Project Life album and it made me really miss capturing the little details in my life. So …
I was in my craft room, practicing my script writing when I thought I’d throw together a layout. The background had been sprayed when I was at the last retreat but I never got around to starting the layout properly. I had this photo printed of the kids at the Australian Reptile Park and I love …
Here’s another layout I completed while away at a scrapbooking retreat. I am more creative when I am in a room full of like-minded crafters. This is one of my favourite photos as it epitomises Kate and Luke. Kate is pretending to be a horse while Luke is pretending he has guns. Some of my …
This time I decided to have a go at the smaller 8.5×11 format as sometimes 12×12 feels too big. I’d printed off a bunch of photos that I had kind of put in the too hard basket and skipped over, so I decided it was time to finally get them scrapped. These were taken on …
Another retreat, except this time, I only created three layouts. This was probably because I was hosting it and as an organiser, you do spend much more time making sure everyone else is ok, rather than actually getting any scrapping done! Not to worry! The first layout, Bubbles, was created for a Scrap the Girls …
The last layout I created at the retreat is everyday is an adventure. These photos were taken on a spur of the moment trip to Sydney to see the giant rubber duck. After we saw the duck, we walked down to Circular Quay to see the Opera House. We had a great day that involved …
Two more layouts from the retreat. One is from Australia Day with photos of the ferry race. I’d always wanted to go into the harbour and see the race and this year I bundled the kids up and we went! These photos are from our 2009 trip to New Zealand. We were so excited to …
A while ago I went to a scrapbooking retreat at Waterfall. I had a great time catching up with some awesome creative friends. In the end, I completed five layouts and if anyone knows me, they know this is a huge effort as I’m such a slow scrapbooker. The first layout includes some photos that …
It’s been a while since I shared a layout! This is one of my absolute favourite photos. Amy wasn’t even a year old. Kate and Luke would wheel Amy around the house so she could watch them play. I was given a challenge piece of paper to use, the white cutout one that runs across …
One of the people at my work is having a baby, well, not him, but his wife is. I may have been a bit tipsy when I suddenly declared “I’m going to make a quilt!’ With only a couple of days left of annual leave, I got to work! I pulled out all the fabric …
Huh. Who’d have thought I’d have lasted this long? Not me, to be honest. I am really enjoying the simplicity of it. I don’t have to worry about finding the perfect card or putting on the perfect embellishment. I’m also writing more as I can fit more on each card. I’m also loving how quick …
Can you believe how fast this year is going?! Here’s another batch of photo a day photos.
I haven’t bought a lot of the kits. I’ve mainly stayed within the same colour ranges. So far I have Coral, Jade, Just Add Color, and Kraft. And for some reason I have Midnight, School, and Strawberry, but I don’t remember buying them. Anyway, I’m mainly sticking to the first couple I mentioned.
I created this layout at the end of last year for Scrap the Girls. It’s about time I shared it!! The layout is about Cricket, the miniature horse that we once had at a party, who now lives with us. 🙂
Another lot of photo a day photos. I’m finding that having the list as the background on my photo is a constant reminder to take a photo. It’s a quick and handy reference too. I don’t remember who posted the idea on Facebook, but thank you. 🙂
I have had the PL app since it first came out but not having the best eyesight, I always thought it was too much trouble than it was worth. When my phone contract was up, I decided to get myself the iPhome 6 Plus. No more blurry screens. 🙂 I was sitting on the couch …
Ok, so we’re almost a full month into 2016 and I’m only just getting around to posting my first entry of the year… Can I say I’ve been busy? I decided to do summer semester at uni and it really has taken up a lot of my free time. That and tv. We took our …
December is almost over and I’m only just getting around to sharing my Scrap the Girls layout. I loved the colour combo, but I was struggling to find photos that matched! Even if aqua is my favourite colour! In the end, I found this photo and it ended up fitting the board perfectly. Aqua (kind …
