Year 12 school photos

2011-01-27T20:08:00.006+11:00

Yesterday I decided enough was enough...the same photos were appearing in my hands again and again and obviously wanted to be scrapped! So I thought I would scrap them and put them neatly away in an album instead of wrestling with the gi-normous cardboard folder that they came in all the time. This double page layout took me a little longer than I care to admit but the memories it brought back were worth it.

As promised I have finished the 2 page layout - I was lucky to find these pictures of Kate's first visit to meet my family. How small she is!!! The same girl in my TTD entry - hard to believe, time really does go fast.

Just got home from TTD in Port Fairy with Pam Kuhn. Thank you Pam for a lovely day under very difficult circumstances.

The top page and card is my competition entry for which I received FIRST PRIZE!! I received the Card Art Love Birds stamp and the Thank You Bold stamp - very excited!

The second photo is the 2 cards and bookmark that we made as one of our 2 hour projects (created by Amanda Cordingley)! Just love these! We also made a 2 page scrapbook layout which I need to add the final touches to and photos - I will post these once I do this!

Glad to be home safe and sound with all the floods in Victoria. Horsham is due to flood today - our shop has been sandbagged - let's hope it doesn't reach the doors.

Mini Album

2011-01-10T16:00:00.002+11:00

Here is a mini album I made for a very special friends 50th last year! It was so much fun to put together. I love the Kaisercraft mini albums and these SU papers were perfect for what I wanted to create.

I was very excited the other day because I finished my very first album! It is a collection of photos from my daughter Kate's primary school years. The top layout is the first page and the second one is the last.

This double page layout are the last 2 I had to complete for it to be finished - they were quite simple to put together in the end even though they had me at a standstill for months! My new motto - just do it!!!

I am still Alive!!

Well it has been an awfully long time since I was here and I thought I would start with a new look to my blog! I recently made this card for my dads birthday. It is so hard to make a males card!! Anyway, I will have plenty more to share from here on in - I promise!

I have been playing in the craft room today - I have this photo of Kate when she was 6 months old. I have used the new fancy flourish stamp some Bazzill and vellum quotes. Not sure that I have the photo posting worked out - this one looks a little blurry?? Sorry about that - I am sure to get the hang of it one day!!! Hope you are all having a great Sunday! Paula

Christmas Card swap

2009-08-17T14:39:00.006+10:00

Hi again! I am having fun with this blogging - if anyone has any tips or ideas for me please pass them on!

Just a reminder to anyone that is interested in our Christmas Card Swap Day, it will be at the Mitre Hall at 10am on Sunday 30th August. Once I have firm numbers I post it so that we all know how many cards to provide for.

For anyone that doesn't know about this and is interested in coming along please email me. Basically everyone is creating their own Christmas card and we each teach it. Then we take turns at each station and create the cards. This will be a great start to our Christmas card stash - I am behind this year!! Not sure where the year is going??

Hope to see you there! Paula

Welcome me to this world of blogging!

Hi there!! Well this is my first attempt at blogging - it is very exciting and confusing. I have written this post about 4 times now and tried to upload photos without success - I think I have it nailed this time!! I made this card earlier today for a party my son was attending earlier this evening. His mate said "Your Mum's awesome!" when he saw the card. Gotta love 10 year old boys!!

I took my daughter Kate and 2 of her friends to see Bandslam and boy were they silly!! Giggles and talking all the way through - next time I plan to drop them off and pick them up later!! Anyway I am pretty sure a good night was had by all.

I will be back soon with some more craft hopefully!
