Happy new year!! I hope that 2012 brings you all happiness and health!! One source of happiness is good friends and this photo of my daughter with her two best friends certainly shows that!! The LO is made from the new Kaisercraft range of papers called "Hummingbird" and it is a great range for scrapping your pictures of friends as a lot of the elements include friendship quotes! As soon as I saw this range I knew which photo I was going to use for it!
One of my new years resolutions is to scrap more because I love doing it and it makes me happy (except when the flow is not happening or the LO is not quite working!!). I think we should all do more things that make us happy, so here's to a 2012 full of happiness!!!
Happy Scrapping,

Hi
I have just completed a off the page project. This project was a long time coming as I am not usually a OTP scrapper. It definitely took me out of my comfort zone!! I finally decided on a book of animals as my 22 month old currently loves looking at books and animals ones are his favourite. The papers and elements are from Kaisercrafts new range called "hummingbird". The range is gorgeous!! I also included some animals which I cut from the create a critter cartridge from cricut. They worked well together!!
One of the items I received from Hobbysew Echuca was a pack of die cuts from Kaisercraft and when I undid it I was amazed at how many items there were in the pack. It is important when scrapbooking to get lots of bang for your buck and this pack certainly did that. There were over 50 die cuts, including quotes, diecut animals and branches. They were very versatile and I still have heaps left!!
Anyway I hope you enjoy my animal book and wishing you all a very merry christmas and a happy and healthy new year (with plenty of time to scrap!!!)

Hi there,
I know what you are thinking and the answer is No. I am not surrounded by an avalanche of tinsel!! Then what possible reason do you have for not posting a blog, I hear you ask!! I have been very slack, I know, but I think I have found a solution to my scrapping block. I have just received my lastest pack as DT member of Hobbysew Echuca and in it was some gorgeous papers from Kaisercrafts soon to be released range called "Hummingbird". I am very lucky to get hold of this beautiful range before they have been released!! What is the challenge in that I hear you ask (you are very vocal today, aren't you!!). That is not the challenge, the challenge for me was what was also in the pack............. a chipboard album!!!! Now I have an admission to make....... I have only done one Off the page project before. I am a single and double LO girl only so this will be a challenge. I have had quite a few ideas but I think I have decided what I want to do with it so stay tuned.....it could be very interesting......
Happy scrapping,

Hi
I love it when I see my children using their imagination. They really do see things differently to adults, and it teaches me to think outside the box. This is something that is great to do when scrapping as sometimes the most amazing LO's are created when you try a new technique or use supplies in a way you haven't used them before!! I have called this LO "Imagine" as it shows my son using his imagination to dress up as an elephant!! It was very cute and involved socks, a dorothy the dinosaur tail and a cap!! The papers and elements that I used were from Bo Bunny's Ad-Lib range which are quite whimsical and I felt they really suited the theme of this LO!!

I can't believe it has been over two months since I have scrapped and therefore posted a blog!!! My mojo has well and truly been absent!! I think a combination of sick kids, a husband having been away and a toddler who decided that 4.30am was a good time to wake up every morning was enough for my mojo to say adios!! Anyhow, hubby is home now and all kids are well and sleeping better (until daylight savings starts that is!!) so hopefully I can sneak some scraping time and try and get some inspiration happening.....might need to check out some new supplies, that always helps!!!!
Here are two LO's I had completed but hadn't got around to posting. Let me know what you think!
Happy Scrapping!
Hi there
I have just finished a double LO of my beautiful little boy Hamish when he was 3 days old. This LO highlights one of the things that I love about scrapbooking. It really creates momentos for us all to look back on in years to come. Hamish is nearly 18 months old now and when I was doing this LO I couldn't believe how much he has grown! He was so small and now he is a very busy and robust little boy. The time really does fly, especially when everyone is so busy. It will be nice in years to come for him to look back and see how much he has grown!

Hi there
After having a bit more of a play around with the Kaisercraft "Toot Toot" papers and embellishments I came up with the single page LO "1st wheels". This layout is of my son who broke his leg and was in a wheelchair for 6 weeks. Although I am not a fan of my own handwriting, I feel it is very important to include journalling about the stories behind the photos. In the past I have used Microsoft Word to record my journalling and then printed this off. I don't do that as much anymore as handwriting does make the LO more personal and it is another momento for future generations to observe. It is a lot quicker as well!!!
Happy Scrapping,
