Whoops...still getting the hang of it all!

You know when you think you've done something and it's all set to go and then nothing happens when it's supposed to?  Well it happened.  This post was meant to show up yesterday but it stayed in the world of cyberspace not to be seen by you.....Oh well, it's here now.

Things have been crazy in our house of late with LOTS going on.  Hopefully things will start to slow down soon as I'm fast approaching exhaustion.  Anyway, to make things brief, here is my latest LO for Scrap n Craft with T.  It was a tough one that had me stumped as the new Meadow Lark papers by My Minds Eye are not what I would normally pick for myself.  So with a little bit of head scratching and lots of procrastinating, here's what I came up with.

 I decided to paint the papers with a coloured wash to add some colour.  I also like the quite simple layout, I think it works best for this photo but what I'd love to do next is mix it up with lots of doodling.  For a step-by-step on how to do this layout, head on over to the Creative Girls Blog ....

Ok, now time for a nanna nap....later

Did someone say "Father's Day"?

Yes, that's right "Father's Day", it's today!  I hope where-ever you are you have a lovely day planned.  My dad is a little way away so I'll be calling him to wish him a lovely day.  Then I'm sure it will be a picnic lunch with the girls and their day.  I just hope the weather says nice or it will be a picnic on the patio out the back!


Have been a bit quiet of late.  Massively busy at home - but here is a little Father's Day card that I made for the Scrap n Craft with T .  I made it in next to no time at all and what I love about it is that is uses up some of my seemingly endless supply of scraps.  Plus by changing the frame it's in, I can do something similar for Christmas cards, Valentine's cards and Birthday cards.  A little imagination and it can be adapted for any situation!

For a step-by-step of how to make this card, click on over to Tanyah's Scrap n Craft with T's Blog and get busy in time for Father's day.  


I'm off to enjoy the day.  Hope you do the same and if not, happy scrapping.

What.....me!!!

You would never have guessed it....I don't quite believe it myself, but I'm so excited!!  Tanyah Payne from Scrap n Craft with T, has asked me to be a member of her Design Team.  I recently played along with Tanyah's Embellish it Competition and from that she's asked me.  I'm humbled as there were so many other very talented and inspiring artists out there and I still consider myself to be learning! I won't let you down Tanyah. 


I'm now madly learning lots of new things (namely blog stuff - some of it's confusing you know!!) and busy creating lots of new projects for her blog.  My posting day will be Sundays.  Previously there haven't been any posts on a Sunday so if you're scrapping on a Sunday and get stuck for inspiration, I hope you check out the Creative Girls Blog for my latest creations!  Here is a sneaky little peak of what I have planned for this week.  

Till next time

Let it begin!

The day of launch has finally arrived.  After much fiddling and tweaking, we have a beginning - after which everything else will follow.  Quite obvious really but you do have to start somewhere. 

I intent to share my creations - both leather accessories and scrapbooking, my thought process behind the creations and where I draw my inspiration from.  On occassion I might even share my general musings and/or frustrations of the world around me.


To start off with, here is a scrap layout that I finished yesterday.  I live away from my two best friends that scrap so we decided to do a monthly layout together where we're all scrapping the same thing, our own little way of scrapping together.  This was my take on the August sketch and colour combo.

Till next time.
