Some DT LO's to share....

Yesterday some of my DT layouts came home from Just Scrapbooking. I am just about to put them away in their albums but thought I would share some on my blog.

I just love this pic of Elise...

Patrick's faves @ five...


Elise's first xmas...


A close friend on her wedding day...



Elise with her first toy phone....


That's it for now...off to do some scrapping!

Creating for me!

Well, for my kids really. I actually scrapped today....in the daylight hours! Now that hasn't happened in a while mainly because I have had so many committments in town. It's so nice to have some real time at home (a farm rep hasn't even called in today!!!) So, I scrapped Patrick's sixth birthday pics. I kept it very simple because I just love these photos of him. The journaling pulls out behind the pics. He opted for a quiet birthday this year with his best mate for a sleepover.


I then made up this Doodlebug Design Inc. Butterfly to hang in Elise's room. It's so girly and full of bling just the way she likes it!




Hope to be back with more to share soon......

WOW! A four month break to the day.........

Is anyone out there? Well for a while there time and scrapping just up and left me.....but after a lovely summer break I am back, refreshed and busier than ever. Unfortunately there is not a lot that I can share as most of my scrapping time is devoted to DT work. Xyron are putting together a new catologue which will feature some of my creations and my projects will go up on their website soon. I have also just started playing around with the Xyron Wishblade and I LOVE it......if only there were more hours in the day and less chores around the house.
Anyway I will leave you with some past DT layouts and a peek of what I'm working on now.....




Better get back to it!

Scrapping Kits, going online and a 'girl's night in or two'....

Great news! My LSS Create & See will being going online shortly. A great deal of work has been devoted to getting this site set-up professionally and I am very excited for all involved. In conjunction with the shop I have put together my first scrapping kits, which they are now selling. They are the 'Crafty CD Cases' which were featured in Scrapbooking Memories Vol 9 No.4. I have pre-cut all the materials and included easy to follow instructions.



I have made ten of these for myself, some I have given as gifts and the rest house all my pics.......nicely themed and sorted. My next kit is based around small Christmas gifts and decorations.

I have also been busy making some mini-albums for the 'Girl's Night In' we are having next weekend to raise money for Breast Cancer research. We had our first one last year and it was huge so we are looking forward to another successful night, with loads of laughs and some good old fashioned 'girly' time. I am also looking forward to attending one in late November which is being run by some other close friends....we have to wear our wedding dress or a bridesmaid dress to that one (will have to stuff my dress with chicken fillets though as I had a bit more to boast back then!!! But hey, who cares? It's all about the cause) These nights are so important to me. I lost a cousin to breast cancer on May 2nd this year and one of my Aunts has just been diagnosed and is currently undergoing treatment.I am also supporting a very close friend who has chosen to have a double masectomy early next year, as a preventative measure, given her incredibly strong family history of breast cancer. All of these woman have taught me a great deal and my life is so much richer thanks to their strength and friendship.

So on that note, take care and think pink!

A bit more scrapping.......

Some more layouts to share, although these were completed a few weeks ago.
The first one is one I completed using the Xyron Personal Cutting System.






I have a couple of workshops in the coming weeks......one at the Highschool and one for a Mum's group called MEGS so plenty to do admist the everyday tasks.
Enjoy your week!

Some LO's to share......

These are some of my favourite layouts, completed for Just Scrapbooking. I loved these papers and found the Elsie papers fun to work with.






I even doodled (just a little bit!) Thanks for stopping by......

Wrong Way Round!

That's how I feel some days LOL! I have a double layout in the latest For Keeps and it was printed the wrong way round. The editor contacted me prior to the mag coming out and apologised for the stuff up. I wasn't bothered.....at least it is the right way round in Joe's album....that's all that matters. So here's what it is supposed to look like,



Just picked up my latest DT pack and can't wait to get started......feeling inspired! After all the sickness that's been circulating through our house it's just nice to feel like scrapping again.

Will leave you with this pic......We had a bonfire the other afternoon, in one of the paddocks, and watched the sun go down. It was one of those really still winter afternoons.



Have a great weekend!
