Online Class with Chelle

Don't faint with shock - I know I have posted something twice in two days!! 

Last Friday I got together with Sarah and Tanyah and did an online class with the wonderful Chelle from Chelley Bean Designs.


















We learnt how to make these 'Spectacular Spirals' flowers and created a step-by-step layout too.  It was the first time I had done an online class and I had such a great time - even with Tan misbehaving :) - just jokin' Tan!

Chelle is doing the free class again on Friday the 26th of Feb. at 7:30pm (that's Qld time).
If you are interested you can register here or check out Chelle's blog.

Here's my finished layout - my spiral flowers weren't quite as 'spectacular' as Chelle's but I have been practicing and they are getting there.  I just loved these photos (even though I did feel a bit bad while I was taking them) and loved that the class used multiple photos so I could fit them all in (really like the 2up size too)!

Thanks for looking and hope you are all having a great day!

Single layout kit

Here's my next kit for Tanyah at Scrap 'n' Craft with T.
This is a single layout kit using some more of the Fancy Pants Vintage Valentine paper.  I hand-made an embellishment for it too (the pleated fabric strip)   :)  Step by step instructions are on Tanyah's blog if you're interested.
You can find it HERE.

The layout has one of my favourite photos of Charlotte and myself not long after she was born - I can't believe how fast she has grown up - she is almost standing by herself and it's only 2 more months til her first birthday!


Take care...

New Card Kit for sale.

My first ever DT kit is now for sale at Scrap 'n' Craft with T.

 

The kit makes 5 cards and uses the yummy Fancy Pants Vintage Valentine Range.  It was the first time I had used kraft papers (shocking I know) but I really loved working with them.  Tanyah at Scrap 'n' Craft with T has very generously shared the full instructions here on her blog.

Here are the cards you can make:

The kit is VERY reasonably priced at $9.00 and can be found here.

Thanks for looking and letting me share my excitement, I hope everyone is having a great day!!

Holidays over.

Yes - holiday time is over!

This week we made lamingtons in honour of Australia Day from scratch!  I had never done it before so wasn't sure how they would turn out but they tasted just like bakery ones (gotta love packet cake mixes).  Sebastian was my chief mixer, dipper and sprinkler and did a great job.

Tony and Sebastian went back to school this week.  Hard to believe my little man is now in year 1.
Here he is heading off to school on his first day - wonky sock and all :)

Hope everyone enjoyed their holidays and are settling back into routine well.
I've actually managed to get some scrapping done lately so will share that soon...

Take care 'til next time.

Card sample for Scrap N Craft with T

Hi all!
This week saw my first design team post for Tanyah at Scrap N Craft with T .
It included a step by step and a sketch for the card below using the Fancy Pants Vintage Valentine cards.

















This card was designed to be a nice and simple card to do, achievable for all levels of ability.  I love using the Fancy Pants cards (or any other journalling cards) because they make card making so quick and easy.
For the step by step instructions and details you can visit the Scrap N Craft with T blog.

Take care and happy crafting...

Exciting news

I've been waiting to announce this until it was official and today it is so here it is  (and no I am not pregnant . . . lol) . . . . . . .

I'm on a design team!!

The lovely Tanyah from Scrap 'n' Craft with 'T' has asked me to be on her design team.  This is huge for me because I have never been on design team before and it was one of my goals for this year.  I am so looking forward to being a part of her team and just hope I can help out and keep up  :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone - hope you all had a safe and happy start to the year (personally I watched the fireworks on telly with the kids at 9:00pm and fell asleep with them shortly after...must be getting old).  Looking forward to what the new year brings.

Stay safe and well...
