Show Us Your Stuff December Challenge

Good morning.  I was up again late last night trying to get some crafty time in whilst the children were asleep.  I started off with the Show Us Your Stuff December challenge which was this bright and beautiful mood board:



I took inspiration from bright colours, the pictures of water, summery theme and the heart up the top and I came up with this:

My handmade item is the Charm's Creations Heavenly Heart.  The title is hard to read but it says "And so it begins" (as I think it will lead to a lifetime of fishing).  I hope you all have a wonderful New Year!

Stuck?! December 1st Challenge

I hope that everyone has had a wonderful Christmas and everyone is looking forward to a year filled with joy and good times in 2015.  Last night I had a crack at the December 1st challenge from Stuck?! which was the following sketch:



I printed out some photos from our visit to Birdland in Bateman's Bay last month as I knew I had multiple photos on the same subject.  This is my layout:

Scrap the Boys December

Good morning.  It's nearly the end of the month and unbelievably, the end of 2014.  It just seems to have gone by in a flash - but at least I have lots of awesome photos to remember it by!!  Last night I had a go at the December challenge at Scrap the Boys: 

I had fun with this one, I love this photo of my littler man.  This is my layout:

Scrap the Girls December Challenge

Good afternoon!!  I got a chance (finally) to get creative last night and I really wanted to have a go at the Scrap the Girls Challenge - I had this fabulous photo of my little girl with her cousin.  They are both just stunning and they look a bit matchy matchy in their outfits coincidently.  This was taken on Christmas Day but I couldn't wait to make it pretty!  This is what the challenge board looked like:



Gorgeous hey!  And this is my creation:

Thanks for stopping by :D

D-lish Scraps December Challenge

Wow, its been a long time since I have had a chance to scrap, what with Christmas and all the preparations and my eldest and youngest children have their birthdays in January.  I am also preparing to go back to work after being on extended maternity leave from 2 years.  I was so glad to get some time to myself last night and I got creative.

I started with D-lish Scraps. This is the awesome inspiration board:

I also got my hands on one of the just add paper kits and this is what I came up with:

123 Challenge Blog

Hi Everyone!

Last night I decided to attempt the 123 Challenge Blog November Challenge.  This month it is:



I had been considering this challenge for a few days but I was stuck on the colour copper..... I was pretty sure that I didn't have anything copper coloured.  But then it came to me - I was given some metallic cardboard a while back and surely in that stack there would be a piece of copper coloured paper - right?  There was and this is what I came up with:

I used a cool alphabet hand punch so I could include the word good in my title and I did that and one of my picture frames in the copper coloured card.  I used chipboard stars and there are also stars on the flair button on the left.  Thanks for checking it out!
