My SOCCER Star




After taking some photo's of Reagan at soccer yesterday I thought it must be time I done a layout of him. I used a my minds eye range on this one and some embellies to match. His uniform is nearly all green not the easiest to find the right papers. He is wearing his day shirt that he wears to soccer but doesn't wear it to play in so that made it easy for me. Could you imagine washing that white shirt after every game..hehe....wouldn't be white for long.
Have a great day.




just pics, layout 2morrow.

Well up for an early rise and off to Lowood for Reagan's soccer game this morning. Then off to Kelsey's netball game then home for a nap on the couch.....this running around all day on saturday's is hard work.
My first photo is of hayley and her little friend Layla at netball...so cute these girls.
And what is it with these rabbit ears, nearly every photo 2day I had to cop these ears...
Here is Kelsey trying to do her bit and stop the other team from getting the ball. F rom playing this sport myself I find watching her very frustrating and I just wanna get on the court and show how it's done....but this is not the way...


And here is the grunge team who lost 2 to 1 2day. They had a umpire from the nartzee squad today with attitude. Even I wanted to have words with her. Reagan was off( damm shelia ) what the hell's the ref talkin about mum? they were offf side and scored cause of her!!!!!!
What do you say to child... apart from life is full of surprises son and the umpire has made up her mine and whether you think it is fair or not the the umpire makes the decissions.
So here is the team NOT HAPPY...
We are second on the ladder so hopefully the boys will be playing on their own turf..for the finals in a couple of weeks....and we get a good umpire.

love this BoBunny range

Took me a little bit to do this one with all the cutting out...lol, but I love this range so much that I don't want to run out. I have done this layout for Chelsea's album i hope she likes it.
I also used some alpha from Thickers, I thought blended very well with the colours and all.
Ahh we have some sun for how long ??? must go and hang out the towels and then some scrappin time.... kids at school and not many hours left...are you with me????

Giggle Pot

Good morning i hope everyone is enjoying the drizzling rain....I have Hayley sick 2day with sore ears and I think off to the doctors. I have been quite lucky so far with sickness this winter so I one child being not well is okay. Just a quick layout using old Fancypants papers, while looking through my photo's I came across this one of Hayley ( how quick they change ) and grow up.
Enjoy your day until next time.

How cute is this

It doesn't look like we are going to have good weather for taking photo's this week, but I'm not complaining as we are well needing some good rain.....even if it is just to clear all the bugs in the air and to stop people from getting sick.
I did manage to get this layout done, it is actually a take on a sketch.
Love working with some felt....this seems to be the new crazzzz for me at the moment and of course the home done brads using the brad tool from Imaginisce. I love that TOOL.
Loving the Bobunny papers the colours are very strong and colourful easy to use and goes well with some Prima BLING.. a girls best friend....This photo I took of Hayley at the Ipswich show while we were watching the show jumping and eating our lunch. She will let me take alot of photo's if she is in the mood. I hope to get heaps of scrappin done this week and hope to be able to take some good photo's to share them on my blog. I have completed some challenges but cannot show them yet. Sooon I promise....

Flower Tutorial

Would you like to know how to make these cute little flowers????
Yes,I hear......read on " " "



Firstly this is what you need:
5 punched scallop circles and one small brad.
If you want to ink around the edges of your scallop circles..then now is the time to do it...oh and let dry before proceeding to next step..

Each individual circle you will need to scrunch up like the above picture.



Unfold each circle and stack on top of each other, pierce a hole through the whole 5 circles and put a brad in and fold back your ends so the circles don't escape.


Fold up one circle at a time like above picture, and then do the next one and so on so they look like the picture below.


Now you unfold the last circle alittle, then the next one, and the next until it looks something like this.



This is really a simple FLOWER and Iam hooked on them at the moment. I am having so much fun making them and wanted to share the LOVE with all you crafters who want to have a go at making them......hope you enjoy......

Mmmm not bad..I think I might have another go at this!!! what do you think? Okay for my first attempt. I also want to thank everyone for their great response on my paper packs that I had for SALE before I knew it I had sold them all. Nothing like passing on the LOVE.....Keep doing what we love and be happy!!!!

Splash Dance papers Layout

I love these papers so much that I never wanted to touch them....but now that I have started I don't want to stop. I used the core dinations gem stone papers also on this layout as they are glitzy and they blend really well.
The children are wanting to go for a bike ride now so Iam off down the street and hopefully on the way back we will feed the horses an apple or two...
I cannot complain I have mainly scrapped all day.....lol

You know it is funny when new papers come out we can't wait to get them even if we haven't used up the last new release range. Not this time on on a mission and already on the new Fancy Pants range.
I have also tried my hands at making some handmade flowers, which I must say they really aren't that hard. ( very cute hay....lol )

layout using i rock

Well having the kids on holidays hasn't really made it easy for me to scrap thou i do have a layout that i have done using the i rock tool. This tool is as easy as 123 and i just love it. This layout is off one of the Imaginise sketches on their blog. Chelsea is such a pleasure to photograph always posing ( so cute ) I hope that won't change when she gets older.
Off to entertain the kids one more day and hopefully i will be able to scrap later.....lol





chocolate 4 four

Chocolate is one of the kids favs so I made a chocolate cake with choc icing and hundreds and thousands with a cup of hot chocolate for the kids as a treat and Kelsey had her friend Hayley over to play with. I did manage to do alittle scrappin and then the wood man came and then Hayleys mum turned up so that was the day.

here is a picture with hayley and Kelsey before they ate their chocolate cake.....hmmm
Sad Sad Sad...................................................
I never mentioned our chicken got killed by 2 dogs a week ago and I had the pound come out with a cage hoping to catch them BUT we haven't seen the dogs again until yesterday so I went down to the butchers for some nice yummy pork bones to put into the cageto catch them.
Wish me luck !!!!!
must mention these dogs have killed someones pet cat as well, so I hope we catch them.

Some Birthday Cards

Good morning, it's a bit chilly, isn't it???
I am so in the mood for scrappin but I need to get my hands warm...
Wonder what this arvo I gonna achieve in the craft roooom. I must say I will have to do a quick rubbish pick up and make some room on the table first ( maybe this will get my hands warm ) after all the birthday goodies now complete I can get into some other stuff.
Out of my leftovers I have made some cards




Ohhh I nearly forgot to show hayleys master piece
which is next, she has done all this by herself and she feels damm proud. I couldn't get away with not putting it on my blog ...sorry ... and I must remind you that she is only 5.












I don't at all consider myself as a card maker but I suppose for a childs birthday card they will pass.
On the last card I created this flower, I made 2 the same size and 1 smaller.
Off to tidy the craft room now...
Have a good day and happy crafting
