Testing, testing...............

Oh dear, thankyou all so much for helping me and even though it's a pain it's nice to know I wasn't the only one having issues!!!  So I used the HTML button to upload my pics.  They seemed to have worked.  As far as changing it to Google Chrome etc, I have no clue how to do that, so I might just have to do it this way for the time being!!!

 

So HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all :):)  It has been a couple of weeks since I posted here and now we are in 2013!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Goodness gracious, time flies!  We still have a few weeks left on school holidays and next week I fly to Perth to see my bestie's new bub...........which brings me to my next creation. 

 

I created this owl canvas for Sianne using SHimmerz !!  It is super cute and full of texture and pretty pastel/brights (somewhere in between), I think Jod is going to love it in her bubba's room :)

 

Here are the yummy Shimmerz products I used:

 

Spritz in Mango Madness and Ruby

Vibez in Sunset Strip

Coloringz in Heidi Ho Blue and Pink Stiletto

Shimmerz in Apricot (I think this is my new favourite)

Enamelz in Sparkliscious

 

 

 

 

 

Some Closeups, loads of splatters and blending colours in in the background.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don't forget to mention my name upon checkout in the Shimmerz store to get your free bottle of Shimmerz included in your order :):)

 

I have a few more things to share but just wanted to test this one first.  I am still trying to get back into the swing of things from the whole excitement of Christmas and having a beautiful, relaxing time at Great Keppel.  I still have a million (well maybe not that many) photos to go through from December..........*sigh* not enough hours in the day!!!!!!!!

 

 

Thankyou for dropping by, call back soon xoxo

 

Blogger Issues :(

 

Hi all!!!  I am back and ready to catch up but I am having trouble with uploading photos here to my blog.  Once I go into the Insert Image and upload section, no "Browse" button exists........now we all know how much I am hopeless on a computer, if anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it! Until I get this sorted out, unfortunately I can't share with you.
 xoxoxo

 



It's beginning to look alot like Christmas............

It's Christmas Eve here downuder and I thought I would share with you a few Christmas things :)  I bought a Christmas wreath from Target last year and this year I added all the baubles and ribbons to it!  Gotta love Pinterest for inspiration!!!

I was asked to create some Christmas Decor and here is what I came up with.

I created this shabby Christmas wall decor using the Pink Paislee City Sidewalks collection.

 



I used 6 styrofoam balls and layered, folded, tore pieces of paper and added lace, ribbons and twine.

 



Next up I wanted to share my December Daily.  This is the first time I have done a DD, I really tried to keep it simple!  This is probably as simple as it gets for me!!!!  I still haven't added any photos to it but I have made sure photos have been taken daily.....this will be my new year job now that all other assignments etc are out the way :)

 

I used an American Crafts 8 x 8 binder and took out the inserts and created my own pages.  Here is my front cover.

 



I won't bore you with every detail but here are some of the pages and I am sure you will get the idea!!!

 



(Had to add a little pink in here for my birthday on the 21st)

 



And just leave you with a few photos of the boys helping put the tree up and our xmas photo shoot!  I am incredibly blessed to have these little people in my life, I feel the luckiest Mumma in the world :)

 



Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas, I appreciate everyone of you dear followers and friends!!!

I must get off here, I must play Santa now! 

 

Love to you all, see you in the new year.......we are off for a relaxing time on Keppel Island after Christmas (I can tell you I need it)!!!!!!

 

Hugs xo

Scrappy happenings...........

AUSSIE SCRAP SOURCE

 

This layout was featuring the Glitz collection Your's Truly. 

 

"You Can Never Have Too Much Happy"

 

 

The elephant is just the cutest :)

 



I loved the garlands and banners of this collection.

 



Next up is Webster's pages using the Once Upon a Halloween collection.  Kobi's facepaint was a perfect photo to scrap with this collection. 

 

"1st Face Paint"

 

 



 

 

Cameos and the transparency spiders......

 

 

One of my assignments this month was Project Life.  I used a different take on the PL concept and opted to create a mini album.

 

 

"Love and Fun Live Here"

 

 





 

My pages.....loads of journalling here, which I don't normally do alot of.

 

 



PRIMA

 

 

Here is a Prima tag that has been shared on the blog recently.  Very shabby and do you spy the Prima packaging I used? 

 

 



SHIMMERZ

 

I created this card for Cooper's teacher.  Don't forget that Shimmerz are still offering an awesome deal.  All you have to do is mention my name in the comments section of your order and choose 1 Shimmerz product of your choice absolutely FREE!!!!!!!

 

 



 

Okay, time to get off here, I am sooooo tired, it's catching up on me.  The big boys are having a sleepover tonight at Nanny's so I am hoping for a nice sleep in tomorrow :)

 

I hope to get back here sooner rather than later with my December Daily to share!!

 

Have a fantastic weekend (what's left of it),

Coloringz in Mandarin Mai Tai and Heidi Ho Blue

Spritz in Mango Madness and Treasured Hyme
