I just want to share a couple of pictures from our party.  I made these gorgeous tissue paper pom poms.......the easiest thing ever to make and they looked stunning!!!!  I just found the tutorial on You tube:)  The colours didn't quite turn out in this pic, the pink was more fushia like all the colours in the above project!

My invitations........all handmade once again.  Punched ends, some rafia and ribbon layered bows and finished with a 30th dot!!

Some pics from the night.....our awesome cake.  Thankyou so much to one of Tim's co-workers, she did a fabulous job:):) 

My boys and I xo

Cutting our cake, I think Tim was about to take a big pretend bite out of it.....hence the wierd look on his face....lol!!

Mummy and her big boys:)

That's about it today, off to get a little creative:)

**Prima** CHA Almanac

Oh my, Prima have done it again with so many amazing new collections:)  My first CHA layout I will share with you is using the Almanac Collection, also known as Printery no. 2.

When we went to Great Keppel Island a week before Christmas I took some new pics of the boys.  This collection has beautiful sandy tones through it that matched perfectly.  I also toned it down by steering clear of the black in the collection and adding a touch of blue to match Cooper's shirt.

"Count the Waves"

Just some closeups to share too:

I have lots more Prima to share with you soon:)

I also want to thank you all for participating in my RAK.......totally overwhelmed by the amount of comments so far!!  You still have a couple more weeks before I draw a winner so make sure you check my last post:):)

Our party was fantastic (pics on that another time), this week I am getting Cooper organised for his first year of school as a preppie and Mason has started crawling AND cut his first tooth!!!! 

So that's my little update, have a beautiful week xo 

Blog candy giveaway!

Hi lovely blog readers, just popping by with a RAK I would love to give away:):)  It is a collection of papers, embellies and flowers from the beautiful Romantique collection by Prima.  So all you have to do is leave me a lovely comment here and I will draw a winner on the 31st of January.  Don't forget to tell your friends too and post it on your blog if you like:):)

Note: Birdcage not included.

I created a canvas using the Romantique range for a friend to give as a gift. I have already shared this over at the Shimmerz blog.  I am becoming so addictive to Shimmerz.  I literally shimmer everything atm!!!

I hope you like my example of using this gorgeous Prima collection.

On another note, I am just about to pack my box for CHA and our party is this weekend.....hence the reason I haven't been around much.....busy, busy, busy!!!!

Hugs xo



HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012!!!!

With a new year we now must say goodbye to 2011. Thought I would share with you some of my favourite layouts for the year.  Do you know how hard this was for me to choose!!!  I have truly loved creating each and every layout/project which made it so hard just to choose a few!  So here they are in no particular order:):)

2011 proved to be an amazing year all round for me, a year of hopes and dreams come true.  A beautiful new baby, an awesome year with my big boy at Kindy, a big 30th birthday (party to come.....woot woot), beautiful memories with all my boys and a truly amazing year scrapping wise!!!!  I am so grateful for the opportunities I've been given this year and so so appreciative of all of your kind words and comments, support and friendships.  It means more to me than you will ever know! 

Hugs to you all xoxo

"Love" Prima

Hi all you lovely blog followers.....hope you are recovering well from the excitement of Christmas:)  We are STILL sorting a home for all the new toys and games the boys got.  Tim put up new shelves in their room today:)  Anyway thought I would pop by with some Prima creations.  The first one is a Birdhouse canvas album.  I have had this creation in my head for so long just had to get it together.  It was a little time consuming but I got there!  We had professional photos taken of us back when Mason was born and I wanted to scrap them in here.  I only got to do a few photos though, I couldn't fit anymore......that's what I get for making things too bulky!!!!

"Love"

I have a little tutorial on the Prima blog if you want to check out how I created the background brick effect.

I love my little birdie sitting on the window here.  The resin's are so amazing.....just love working with them!!

Just some more closeups.



Here are my centre pages:



Next up I have some gifts that I made for Cooper's 2 kindy teachers.  They are just glass jars that I turned into pretty pieces:)  

I also altered this Christmas bauble I bought from Pillowtalk.  It started out clear with a few rhinestones on it, now it's turquoise and even shinier:):)



Here is a 1st birthday card I made.  I used the Romantique collection here. 



Lastly, a Christmas card I made for the Prima blog.  Mum gave me a whole bunch of cards from when she was a little girl and this image was on one of those cards.  It is soooo gorgeous!  I just loved adding special little touches to this.

Note the little deer as you look out the window:) 



That is about it for today,  I am busily creating for CHA so best get back to it.  I will be holding a Prima giveaway in the next week or so, so be sure to check back:)

Thanks for dropping by, wishing you Happy New Year festivities if I don't get back here before then xo

I think Christmas is nearly here:)

Wishing you all a beautiful Christmas Day.

Hugs xo

My Baby's first Christmas:)

"Believe"

I absolutely love the Enamelz on here, so much sparkle:)



I have just received some more Shimmerz in the mail......I'm in love, I really love playing with it all, it's so easy to work with:)  I made a canvas with it last night, will share another day when I take a picture and make sure the new owner of it doesn't mind if I share it.

Just a couple of pics of the boys for Xmas:)  A certain little 3 year old hasn't been very posy for me so at least I have the one of the 3 or them together.



Going to paradise for a few days to relax now, so be back next week for my birthday, Christmas, New Year, our party and getting my big boy ready for school.  Busy times......plus creating for CHA:):)

Hugs to you all xo
