Happy Sunday to all… I’m organised again this month having already done Anna’s sketch challenge! I’ve put the sketch below too – be sure to pop on over and give it a go, the gallery there is so full of amazing layouts.

I love love love Fridays! It’s really the one night a week I can sit down for hours and scrap, I can blog, watch utube videos and ‘potter’ around my room. Ahh the serenity!! Thank you soo much for your wonderful comments I really do appreciate your feedback. I don’t have a huge real life scrapbooking network as I do almost all my scrapping at home – so it’s wonderful to hear from you all! A big welcome to Melinda, thanks for “following” 🙂 I have some more work I’ve just done this week. I am playing with some cleaner looks ATM and I’m working hard on using up my stash combining old with new. I just spent last weeks mortgage repayment on new release Prima which was delivered today and OMG it is sooo beautiful; I’m totally in love. You’ll be seeing a lot more of this over the coming months that’s for sure!!!

Caitlin of course – the most photographed child in the universe 🙂

and my dh….

I know it’s about time… but I do have some work to show you – a stack actually. First up is a layout I did with some Kaiser scraps. I had a bit of a go at a more simplified style… not sure it’s me though! Think it needs some flowers or something???

This one is one of my new favs… I just love this swimsuit on Caitlin and took this snap on a recent trip to Daydream Island.

These shots were also taken on Daydream Island and I loved making the butterflies!!

Last but not least I was having a bit of a play with painted backgrounds and came up with this one. I’ve seen a heap of pages about mum’s trying to get a photo of their kids and thought it was time I gave one a go so here is my take on that….

thanks for taking the time to stop by.

I’ve had some time to scrap this week – mostly till midnight :)and I feel ohh so much better for it! A couple of layouts including Anna’s Feb sketch. I don’t think I’ve EVER completed a challenge so quickly 🙂 The other is a cute lil photo I took of Caitlin at the Melbourne zoo when we were there on holidays recently.



Hope u like em.

WOW – what a beginning to the year we’ve all had, I can’t believe we are now in Feb ALREADY! OK, so they are a month late.. I know, I know!! but here are my scrap goals for this year…

1. Has to be…Use up my scraps. So… I’ve done some reorganising and I’ve sorted all cut 12×12 pieces of paper by colour and whacked them in a couple of folders. I go to these FIRST before my 12×12 stack.

2. Is to make more cards. I was a card maker before I scrapped so it’s about time a made a couple 🙂 AND… it will help me to use up my scraps!!

3. Submit MORE. I keep track of all submissions and (drum roll please) last year I ran at a success rate of 5% which I must say I’m pretty happy with BUT, and it’s a bit BUT, this year I’m gonna get into double figures.

4. The Organised Scrap space. There is nothing like a new year to give you a new lease on getting organised. So this year is the year for organising and re-organising things in my scrap room to get a space that I’m happy with. With Caitlin getting older too now, I’d love to move things around so she can have a little scrap/craft area near me so we can scrap together.

5. and lucky last, but not least… try something new! New techniques, new colour schemes and more. I do tend to sit comfortably in my style; so it’s time to mix things up a bit!
