For this step by step (available on the Annas Craft Blog HERE) I've used the gorgeous Studio Calico Autumn Press range - love it! oh, and some of those groovy wood alphas from Pink PaisleeSorry I've fallen off the blog map for a little bit - I'm struggling with life a bit at the moment and hope to feeling back to normal soon. So for now you just have to put up with a bulk lot of blog posts while

This months challenge for the Scrap the Girls blog challenge is to use distressing on your layout and to use the word "LOVE" in your title.Here's my LO - and I stretched the criteria a bit by using the word 'loving' instead - but I figured I can't win a prize so thats ok!! LOL

I chose this range as part of my DT pack from Anna's last month - thinking of all the boy pages I could do with it - but when I got it, I was so impressed with also how versatile it is - and I ended up not doing boy pages at all! LOL. (although it would be perfect for those as well)[NOTE: the "@ 13 years" layout is also up on Anna's blog as a step by step HEREI have also used a Crafter's Workshop

Love this beautiful christmas range from My Mind's Eye - I'm a bit picky about my christmas papers that I use, I guess because christmas photos are already tricky enough to scrap without having tricky papers as well. But I chose this one and I love it!one small catch - they spelt December wrong on the little calendar die-cut :(

In my DT pack this month from Annas' Craft Cupboard I got some of the OCtober Afternoon Modern Homemaker - which I just love.This first one is of my Claire bear - who just loves the whole cowgirl thing - so when we went to the rodeo in Mingenew she was *so* in her element!! And this one is very much inspired by the fabulous Amanda Hall! The colours also just reminded me of icecream so I went with

I have done these 2 pages with Basic Grey's Oxford range available from Anna's Craft Cupboard. Perfect for those hard-to-scrap school photos - or more masculine pages. (even though mine both feature my girls - LOL)

In my DT kit from Anna's Craft Cupboard this month I got some of the My Little Shoebox 'Audrey' range and I love it!! Love that pink and turquoise combo.And this my friends, is what happens when you put cupcakes on a wooden table - I'm clever huh??? In fact the photo doesn't even do it justice - it's REALLY noticable! I got the table for nothing though - so I'm not too upset. My kids just reckon

This was the Masters Maya Road challenge - we got a couple of 'mists' on the pack and if you know me at all - you will know I just never know what to do with them!! So I just changed my cream flower to a pink one using the mist and I actually really like the colour of it - and by the way, it's a really easy way to colour something - not so gluggy as paint and easier to so simple to get in all the

Continuing on my uploading catching up...This one was a specified project for the Masters gallery for that issue - perfect timing for me as I'd been meaning to do this for ages.It's a children's chore chart - and using the sticky felt memo board stuff the kids turn over their names when each job is done - so that it says "DONE" - easy for me to tell who hasn't done it.And one dear to my heart..

In my DT kit from Anna's Craft this month I got some Studio Calico "State Fair" - I'm such a sucker for Studio Calico. I'm also a sucker for alphabet stamps and couldn't help myself when I saw Kaisercraft released a bunch of new sets. I got the "Grunge" & "Typewriter" fonts for only $8.49- and have both of them on these LO's.This one has the "Grunge" onesAnd this one uses the "Typewriter"

I've just discovered this seam binding! I always admired it on peoples work and just had to get my hands on some. It's all crinkly (after I make it that way!LOL) and is just different to ordinary flat ribbon.I thought other people might be wanting to get their hands on some too seeing as I was hunting around for it, and so I bought WAY more than I can ever use - scratch that - WAY more than I

My LO for the Masters Kaszazz challenge - had to laugh at this challenge in the magazine that so many of us used the "once upon a time" rub-on.

It has been a really long time since I have done a blog challenge, but I saw this one on the Scrapbook Boutique blog the other day and just had to have a go.So here is my entry - you had to use stitching on a card or LO - not a problem for me seeing I love to machine stitch! I've just shown a close up seeing the stitching is white on cream - much easier to tell IRL than in photos.

Just a couple I've forgotten to upload - this one is done using Pink Paislee's Daily Junque paperAnd this one had been sitting on my desk for AGES - I had done a LO for the 'other side' of this protector yonks and yonks ago and knew these Buzz Lightyear pics would fit perfectly in the back of it - but just never got around to doing it.So using some old Heidi Swapp paper and some Studio Calico

As a non-lover of motorbikes and horses, I always think my husband is a bad influence on my kids as he loves both!The background of this LO is a gorgeous manila file that Amanda gave me at the Escape2Create retreat (it's from from Typo - I coulda shopped up big at that shop in HarbourTown in Adelaide but I couldn't fit anymore stuff in my hand luggage!LOL)It's also using a few scraps of paper

A very quick and simple cookbook I made for my kids recipes - the Kaisercraft "Nan's Favourite" recipe cards and stamps are perfect for this project! I just bound it together with my Bind-it-all but you can use rings or ribbon.

Available now at Anna's Craft CupboardAnd can I just say - HOW COOL - that a scrapbooking company finally thought to 'do' die-cut papers in A4. NOrmally I have to cut mine up to scrap in either A4 or 8.5x11" and when I saw this paper I just thought FINALLY!!! It's the first time I've ever seen this - but probably now people will tell me other companies have done this before!LOL

This was my OTP entry for the SBM Masters comp - it had to be something useful - so I used a Kaisercraft Tic Tac Toe thingo to make a bingo game for my kids.

It's been a couple of months now so I can finally share my Masters entry - here is my double.From memory, the criteria was to document your past with the focus on photos and journalling. And you had to include ephemera - not sure if that was everything?Anyway, I'd been meaning to document my boarding school days and this was the perfect excuse.

As the title suggests I don't tend to use Glimmermist/Glimmer Glaze and those sorts of things therefore I wasn't very inventive when it came to using the Tattered Angels Glimmer Glaze that I got in my DT pack from Anna's Craft this month. I used it with a mask and then painted my background with it - but I'm making a vow to come up with something inventive before the end of the month! LOL. (I

As part of my DT from Annas Craft Cupboard this month I got a bunch of Websters papers & embellishments. Here's 3projects using them - I really love the Websters papers that have the two different 'sides' on them (not front & back) but the 2 colours - like the 'Cowgirl' Lo here. LOVE them - not sure why, just do....lolOur trip to NZ was great - went very quick but that could possibly be because
