I’mmmmmm backkkkkk!!!!!

I don’t believe that it’s been almost a year since I’ve actually blogged!!!! I could say that time flies when you are having fun, and I can’t deny that there has been plenty of fun times this last year … mostly it’s been due to technologic disadvantages … my Netbook is getting old and it’s a nightmare to post from there, the tablet is fine to read, but another nightmare to post from there ….

I have a new laptop so I’m hoping to get back in the swing of things and show more of my work, because I have been creating this past year!!!!

I will probably be adding stuff retrospectively because I have been taking photos, and keeping notes on the things that I have been creating!!!

I hope 2007 will be an amazing year for all of us!!!

Hello beautiful!!!

Morning everyone … where has this week flown to?

I have a layout that I created on Sunday to share with you … I’m entering it in this month’s Scrap n Pieces challenge which had a lovely mood board and the colour pink!

 

So here is my take on it:

 

 

PA122414

The background paper is a piece of white cardstock that young hands have drawn on … I keep all my nieces and nephews drawings and recycle use them in my artwork as well!!!

 

PA122409

The photo is of Raphaella’s shoes which she wore at my friends Katerina’s wedding in 2013 … I loved her chic shoes and just had to take a photo of them!!!

PA122410

Lots of pink and bling, and shiny accents!

PA122411

Close up of foiled stitch … in pink colour!

PA122412

Here is the inspiration pallet:

The children love to see their photos on the wall … I was behind and had photos up from 2012 … Yikes, but one of my goals is to be more organised this year ….

I created another single board with photos from Christmas 2012 … so will show you soon when I get a photo of it! 🙂

 

Happy Weekend everyone!!!

Capture your Life 30 days

Heidi Swapp who a greatly admire for her drive to preserve moments and memories, started a 30 day challenge on Instagram and Facebook on August 2nd.

I quickly put together a minibook by cutting pages up in my sizzix, and decided to take part!  It made recording my summer holidays all the more interesting!

Here is the simple cover I made:

P9022232

Here is my take on the sketch:

P9012201

 

A photo of myself and my friend Michael, taken on my last day of holidays!

I wanted to use the heart element in the sketch, so I used my bigshot to cut from transparency heart shapes to fuse together and fill with bling … here are some close ups of the hearts:
