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)!!!!!!

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),

New Shimmerz layout!

Hello!!  Hello!!  Just popping by with a new Shimmerz layout I created :) 

 

Here I have used the following Shimmerz products:

 

Coloringz in Mandarin Mai Tai and Heidi Ho Blue

Spritz in Mango Madness and Treasured Hyme

Vibez in Hot Fudge

Shimmerz in Antique Lace, Apricot and Tickle Me Turquoise

Blingz in Under the Sea

 

I really love the blending of all these colours together with a touch of Gesso.

 

"Everyday I Love You"

 

 

I have a splash of everything in here along with the Shimmerz!  A little Prima, Websters, Basic Grey, Hambly and of course lots of other treasures like shells, florist vine, bandage wrap and washi tape!

 

 



That's it for today, the weather is hot, hot, hot so think we are heading into the pool again!!!

PP and Kobi is 4!!!

Hi everyone, so sorry for the lack of posts here lately!  I have been so busy with life and so many scrap commitments that just can't be shared yet!  Here is one that has been shared over on the Pink Paislee blog.  I used a mix of Portfolio, Artisan Elements and a touch of Spring Jubilee.  I was inspired to use these colours purely because of what the boys where wearing :)

 

"Little Brothers"

 

Loads of layering as per normal ;)

 



 

And here is the sketch from Valerie Salmon that I created this layout from........

 

 



So this little man turned 4 last weekend!!!!!  He woke up on Sunday morning (Saturday was his birthday) and said "Am I going to kindy today Mum, I'm 4 now".  Awww, poor sweetie, had to explain to him that it isn't until after Christmas time!  He  just wants to be a big boy like Cooper and have all of his own friends :)

 

He also had his immunisations this week, such a brave boy, no tears!!  He also weighed in at 14.5 kg's.........woohoo!!!!  He is making a nice little path for himself just under the 10th centile!  We worry about him being so small but our Doc doesn't feel any need for concern, she just called him a pocket rocket, he certainly is that!!!

 

So just a couple of pictures of Kobi for his 4th birthday!  Do you like my cake I whipped up Saturday morn.....lol!!! 

Love you my handsome little man :)

 



On Sunday, my bestie had her bubba girl, I can't wait to meet her in January and oh, the photos I am going to take of her!!!  She has a huge mop of long black hair :)  Be ready Sianne, Aunty Stace is going to go gaga over you!!!!
 

Okay, I need to get off here, my December Daily is calling me!!!  I finished my cover last night, now to get started on the pages!!  Keep it simple, keep it simple......I keep telling myself!!!!

 

Have a beautiful weekend and thankyou for popping by, I promise I will have more to share soon xo
