I created these layouts when I was at the Storyboard Kit’s retreat. I think you can tell. I was surrounded by the most amazing scrapbookers, so it is easy to draw inspiration from them. These layouts were for the Blue Bazaar April Kit. Yes, I thought the title ‘Little Pickers’ to be very funny. Oh […]
When your kids spend a day riding ponies and playing with dachshunds, this is the type of sentence which you find yourself speaking, repeatedly. Yes, ponies and miniature horses are cute. Even those funny little sausage dogs are cute. No, you can’t have one. Why? We already have a dog and a cat… and because
No, you can’t have one. Read More »
For the last three Winters I have had this insane urge to make myself a scarf. It takes me a couple of goes to decide on the pattern I like. This year I wanted to crochet it. Because it’s quicker. And I’m lazy all for quick results. I also had the most beautiful Moda
Oh looky here. What’s this? Another layout? Anyone would think I had been scrapping or something?! This layout was created for Blue Bazaar’s April Kit. (I just had a look in the shop and it’s looks like it’s all sold out! Awesome!) I can’t express how much I loved the AC Pow Glitter paper. I

You know, just stuff. It’s probably why I like corny things like Geocaching, scrapbooking and running around in circles and possibly getting lost. Stuff. So when I happened to come across the Family Fun in Sydney blog, I was so very super excited as now I had an easier way of finding out what stuff

I have a plan to do a mixed media photo wall. I figured there was no point in putting up half the stuff and I would wait until I have completed all the pieces. Well, it’s only taken me about 10 weeks, but I now have a piece for the collection. A deer cross stitch.

It still makes me deliriously happy to be designing kit layouts for Blue Bazaar. So here are a couple from the March kit. And another: And that’s about it for this cold and wet Saturday. I have a house full of sick people, except for me. *Touch wood* So I think I might just take

This is only the second Easter Hat Parade that kids have been involved in. Poor Kate has never had the pleasure. Luke was in kindy when he got to participate in his parade. This year it was Amy’s turn. We collected the sticks and got to work on the hat decorating. Needless to say, I
A couple of months ago I received an email and at first I thought it was a newsletter. I quickly skimmed through it. Not really taking it in. Until I see the last line. Wait. What? Surely it’s a mistake? Surely she can’t mean me. Apparently she does! I had been granted the most fantastic

I think it was all the cute journal tags and page layouts that people on Pinterest kept pinning which made me want to start Project Life this year. I’m easily pleased, what can I say. This is in addition to Project 365, I know, I’m crazy, but I’m up for the challenge. So, here’s my

I love the concept of Halloween. Honestly, who doesn’t like dressing up and getting lollies? As usual the kids get to choose what they would like to dress up as. Of course I gently try to steer them in a direction that would make it easier on myself, but alas, they never take the hint.

that I can pull my finger out of my arse and get things done. Layouts: photographed. In fact, I have about a years worth of layouts that I hadn’t taken photos of. Don’t get excited, it was only 20 of them. But now they are all photographed and I even put them into albums. Shit,
