Back here in 2011, I wrote this post on starting a Grateful scrapbook album. It was where I would scrap a page per week for a year about all the little things I was grateful for. Needless to say I have completed a total of 3 layouts for that album. It’s not that I was […]
The little voice in my head this year is going to keep shouting at me: GO! I tend to over-think things, put things off, procrastinate, etc etc (read: lazy). This year I am going to just get up, and go do stuff! I’m going to try and limit my use of ‘in a minute’ and

I am also tackling Project Life again this year, even though I haven’t quite finished for 2013. Even so, I love my album from last year. Even my sister liked the concept (trust me, that’s saying something!) I learned a few things that I will incorporate this year: Record keeping is key! I didn’t keep
Yep. I’m going to have a good crack at it this year. I’m determined and I have good intentions. What could possibly go wrong? I’m going to primarily take the photos with my phone so I won’t have to drag around camera equipment around with me. And I’ll totally use filters to make the photos
My last two layouts of the year for D-lish Scraps. The first layout is Hello and would you believe, I actually used Gelatos! I still have no idea how to use them properly though. For this layout I added some flecks to some texture paste and smeared it over a chevron mask. Then I drew
I blinked and it was over. Gone. So much effort is put in to just one day of the year. It’s a shame that we don’t put as much effort in to every day of the year. Honestly, Christmas does bring out the best in me. I’m more tolerant when things aren’t going my way,
I have a plethora of old un-scrapped photos of the kids. It’s coming in quite handy since Kate refuses to smile in photos at the moment. So here’s another layout I scrapped for D-lish Scraps last month. I must say, I am loving being a part of the D-lish team.I get to play with the
Another month of D-Lish Scraps reveals! This time I tried to be a little bit girly. I can’t really pull off the super flowery stuff. This will just have to do! I do so love that photo of Amy! She was such a sweet little baby. She’s now 6 going on 16…
Another week, another Project Life spread. You know, I love nothing more than flicking back through my album, remembering the things we have done so far this year. I’m so glad I started this project. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had moments where I thought I would never catch up and I’ll be behind for

Another double page spread! But we did heaps this week! I guess a four day weekend will do that! The thing I struggle most with when creating Project Life is the ‘week’ card. Until I happened to come across this stamp I bought years ago. The dot circle one around the number seventeen. Now, it’s

Just a single page spread this week. We got out and about a couple of times this week, just to get out of the house! And well, it’s all pretty self explanatory.

I know, I’m all out of whack and I’m out of order, but I just came across this years Halloween photos. Luke wanted to be an Army man this year. It’s not the first year he has wanted to go as one. He really wanted me to make him camo pants and a bulletproof vest.
Week 16 was a pretty quiet week, but somehow I managed to create a double spread with inserts. The insert consist of a booklet Amy did at school. It’s really sweet. The other side of the A4 sleeve is a story Luke typed on the typewriter. I also included a 12×12 sleeve with a painted

It only feels like yesterday when I was posting these photos from Amy’s 5th birthday. This year we had a party with some of Amy’s kindy friends and her cousins. We had the ponies again and the kids loved them! The donut game was a huge success and the winners were the kids who kept

You know those ‘money shots’? The photos you know are going to be great, even if they are slightly blurry or not quite in focus. The ones that capture emotion and character. Perfectly. My second layout for D-lish Scraps uses some of those photos. Some of my favourite ones ever. My happy, silly, smiling girl,

My first layout for D-lish Scraps. I love all the little bits and pieces in the store. If you like embellishments, you need to go to the store. But first, here’s my layout: Now. Go to the store. You won’t regret it. Your wallet might, but you won’t.
And here is a snapshot of our life from Week 14.

My final kit for Blue Bazaar for 2013. I have enjoyed the challenge of creating with these kits. Here’s my final five layouts: It was a tough ask, I had 2 weeks to complete 5 layouts. In that two weeks, I was away for work for a week, and Steve’s parents stayed with us for

I started this layout back here, when I went to Delights all day crop. I was feeling a little inspired to outline everything with a black marker. I then ended up with all these bits of drawn on paper. It looked a hot mess. So, I started layering bits and pieces and it seemed to
That’s right, no sign of Week 12. Not really sure what happened there, but it seems that sometimes I just don’t take any photos. Week 11: Week 13: There’s two pages of 4 pocket 6×6’s here. But you know, I didn’t photograph them either. I’ll be back with some more…
