Had the best day out on the water yesterday....We took the boat out and had our first go on the Tube....Teish and Sarah were as keen as to have a go....I on the other hand had no intention on getting on but so glad that i did....i must admit it was fun....
But the best part of the day came Teish had her 2nd go.....

Here we go......this was so funny.....even she was laughing when she came off and was waiting for us to go pluck her out....

Im not getting much scrapbooking done, now we have the boat.....Ah well...the cooler weather will be here before we know it....

I'm a huge fan of English Rose from kaisercraft.....We have just done this workshop in store. I didnt have the soft green i wanted for the frame, so i used a soft pink instead.....I have since done the green and now i cant make up my mind.....

How much fun is Christmas....Im having loads of fun this year making cards and off the page projects....Some may not be presents, instead just gift ideas for the shop...but im still having a lot of fun...

I have so much more to share but just need to take some pics....

As much as I'm enjoying the cake decorating......I do still get creative with my scrapbooking and card making.....I needed a pretty fix but wanted to keep them simple, so this is what I came up with...........

I hope it rains all week-end, because my mind is going crazy with all these ideas I have.....and I'm planning on getting a heaps of display work done this week-end......

Have a great week-end

I cant get over how much fun i am having....I did another class with Jackie at Contemporary Cakes....I was a little chuffed when i can home with this masterpiece....
I did have to laugh...Glenn asked if he could have a piece....of course i said yes....but he didn't know where to cut.......he didn't want to wreck it......how sweet....

Now i just need to find time to make others.....however we start Christmas at the shop next week, so i might just have to make some Christmas cupcakes to go with my Christmas creations
I have such a hard life....
Have a great week

I have a new addiction...other than Facebook that is....

I have been wanting to do this for a long time....I would go and buy books just so i could look at the pretty pictures.....Well with Lateisha's 18th Birthday in a couple of weeks, it got me thinking....I did some searching for somebody to do her birthday cake.....and after watching shows like Ace of Cakes and Cake Boss.....there are so many talented people in our local area that i just had way to many to choose from....in the end Teish wanted a very plane cake but that didn't stop me from wanted to learn how to make and decorate my own....So I did it....

and this is my first lesson. We made 6 Cupcakes from scratch...I am never going back to packed mixes again..........

I did promise the girls from the gym my first batch....

And then just like any hobby, you can't wait to get home and play some more.....and once again, they all but a few ended up back at the gym.......and of course they were low fat ones....hehehe

Now I cant wait for the next class, where I will be making a Shooting Star cake...and this one will be for the family......

But a big Thank You goes out to Jackie from Contemporary Cakes at Daisy Hill.....She's one very talented lady.......

I have been doing some scrapping....more on that soon....

Find me on Facebook....

I am just loving anything pretty at the moment.......And flowers, i just cant get enough....

I really do think im getting my MoJo back....... Hope to share more soon.
Have a great week-end

I had so much fun doing this layout...It had been a long long time since i did anything that i would normally do.....Don't get me wrong...I love doing my class work, but i really do enjoy when i get to do a layout just for me....and one that involves loads of cutting out......I thought it was about time i shared the full picture....You just soooo have to love Bo Bunny.....

For a long time I felt like I had lost my way....I was doing a lot of easy pages for the shop and just got into a easy routine with them....at the same time I felt like I'd lost my Mojo.....
Well it's back....my Mojo that is....I've had so much fun Scrapbooking over the past couple of weeks, I just want to yell it from the roof tops.....Here are just a couple of my favourite layouts.....I have a few OTP I want to do as well, but finding the time is another thing......why are there just never enough hours in a day.......I just love working with bright papers......Ive been wanting to scrap these photo's of Ashleigh for a long time and when I saw these papers, I knew straight away what photo's to use......and as usual both Layouts will end up as classes in the shop, but I'm just happy to be scrapping the way I like to......

I have a thing for Vintage at the moment, so let's see how much fun I can have stepping out of the "box".......

Happy Scrapping

I was reminded today on how long it's been since my last post....To be honest, I just thought this blog was for me, a way for me to just ramble when it didn't matter if anybody was listening or not.........and didn't really think anybody would notice me missing in action......mind you face book has been a little on the addictive side...

So it's been 3 months since my last post and so much has happened...work has been really busy and the girls.....OMG how quick do things change when boyfriend come into the picture....Glenn and i feel like were dating all over again.......In one way that's nice and in another, well it's going to take a little getting used too.....so much time on our hands...no running around after them every five minutes like were used to......they both have jobs and the eldest is driving on her own now.......and as for me........

My god where do i start.......how about a layout.....I did this layout for a Cricut Class.....I really enjoyed doing this page.....I think more so because it was a wedding layout....

Well i hope for those of you who do take interest.....i will promise not to take so long to get back on here....I have heaps of layouts and cards to share.....

Have a great week

OMG I am so addicted to Facebook that i spend all my time on there and forget about here.....

It has been pretty crazy around here, Lateisha now has her P's, so she is never home.....Ashleigh still trying to see how much she can get away with and as for Glenn and I...well we have been boat shopping for the past 8 weeks....We have set ourselves a goal this year....Fingers crossed we will find the right one...

I also had my first acceptance in Scrapbook Creations Magazine...I was quiet shocked they accepted one of my cards....yippee i say....i was a little chuffed.....

I still love scrapbooking but at the moment i seem to be drawn to cards.....Here is a page that i did.....I was inspired to do this after I saw a project from "Michell from Print Blocks"....

I don't like to lift but when I was the 3D Box that she did I just had to do a page version......

And here is one for the boys....nice and simple

See you again soon

How cute is this stamp.........I look at it and i see a little attitude...just like my girls.....I am having so much fun stamping....

Short and sweet....I'm off looking for new stamps....

Have a great week-end

I have no excuse for not blogging in such a long time......but i will confess that i will be seeing a follower tomorrow so i thought i had better blog before she tells me it's been a while....
But I can say that the past month or so has been so busy.....Lateisha goes for her "P's" very soon which I'm not looking forward to.....don't think I'm ready to loosen those apron strings just yet...and
my normally healthy one, Ashleigh has been sick with glandular fever.....but i can happily say that she is back to her normal self now and trying to get away with things normal teenagers do....i think she forgets that her older sister has been there and done that not so long ago and she also forgets that she is not good at hiding things from us.....Lateisha on the other hand was a master at it....
In between the teenage stuff i have also been busy getting creative...here is just a little i have been doing....

Thought i would try the new Kaiser papers for a Christmas layout.... and i have a new addiction to Sugar Nellie stamps....they are just beautiful....still finding my feet with stamping but I'm having so much fun trying....

Have a great week-end

Christmas was so much fun this year, mind you the girls think they are to old for stack on....I don't think so...to me it's just like not believing in Santa...if you don't believe you don't receive.....the girls normally wake us up with a stack on (jumping on us to wake up)...well this year we heard them rummaging in their Christmas stockings,,,,we were waiting,,,and waiting,,and waiting.....so by 8am and still no sign of the girls who mind you had gone back to bed....so we decided to do the stacks on them instead.....
We had a great Christmas day with family both lunch and dinner....Glenn's Uncle Lindsey and Judy were over from WA, so we got to spend plenty of time catching up with them.....and i even managed to get some scrapbooking done..not as much as i would have liked, but better than none at all....Now I'm just waiting for Glenn to go back to work after is operation, so i can get all those things done that i had planned on getting done but didn't cause he was home...

You cant half tell they want me to hurry up and take this photo so they can go back to bed....

well Lateisha anyway....

I hope everybody had a great Christmas and New year
Bring on 2010

Just wanted to share a layout for all those who purchased this kit. I hope you can see the colours in the layout better here than you could on the sheet. I hope you all enjoy doing this layout.

Have a great week-end.

Had a great week-end up the coast with Glenn and the girls. Mind you we didn't see the girls much, which left Glenn and I time to just relax and do nothing.....and that is what we did....If you havn't seen the movie "Hangover" you just have to see it.....And being the night owl that I am, i did manage to get an OTP project done....This Brag book was so much fun...Now its time to get stuck into some layouts.

Have a great week guys.

I thought it was about time i step out of this little box i scrap in....and can i just say....I'm having so much fun with it.....
It all started by making my own flowers. The rest of the layout was worked out around them...I know...it's funny how my mind works sometimes....
But let me just say....while I've been stuck at work for the past 3 weeks, I've been forced to get creative and take on Lesley's work.....and in the mean time I've got a little mojo back...and god it feels good......First came the layout and then came the cards.....

Has it really been that long since i was last here.....I was out of action 10 days with a head cold.....not much fun......it was good to have a forced break but the worst is always when you go back to work and you have twice as much work to catch up on...not to mention...layouts for classes......but i can say that it is good to be back in the land of the living....and back at the gym....
Now it's time to get creative.....

Have a great week-end

How good was today...The girls and I had a great day with Glenn....He got the usual "stack's on dad" first thing in the morning with a big sloppy kiss by both girls. Bacon and Eggs for breaky then it was off to spend the afternoon together.

We spent the afternoon at Southbank. We drove to Brett's Wharf and caught the Citycat to Southbank....It was good. I got to show the girls some of my stomping grounds as we went past, and we even got to show the girls where Glenn proposed and where we got married....

So after a good afternoon walking around the markets and having a feed we even managed some family photos...

And to top the day off, we came across the best little candy store and I just had to get a "choo choo bar"....amongst other things......

Here is a look at what we did last week-end with the little get together....

Have a great week-end

I just kept feeling that it wasn't quiet done but finally after two weeks of fussing over it....It is finally done....Here is the finished product....This ones going in a 3D frame.....OOOOO i have some cards to share soon.....

Here is a challenge I give myself every two weeks....Every second monday I do a Cricut Class for those people who are lucky enough to have a machine and so it doesnt gather dust in the corner. The idea is to only use your Cricut machine and very, very little else...as you can see 97% of this layout is done by using the machine.

I have had the best week-end. Glenn and I spent the week-end down the coast for our wedding anniversary. You might think it's strange that I took my scrapbooking gear with me but we both took something that we enjoy. Glenn's was his fishing rod and mine was my scrap trolley....and I think I can finally say that I'm getting my "mo-jo" back.
We wanted to relax and do nothing while we were away and thats what we did....apart from the shopping, walking along the beach from Broadbeach to Surfers Paradise and then thinking "holly crap- now we have to walk back" and to top the week-end off we had our anniversary dinner at "Valentinos". If you like a good Italian meal and your down that way, then you just have to stop in for a meal....It just has to be my favorite resaurant of all time.....
Being the night owl that i am, here is a sneak peak at what i got started. Now that im home i will finish it of....this layout has got me so excited about scrapbooking again..


I've been playing again....It's so nice to be able to do things for me and not for work....Here is one of the cards i did at the retreat.

Share more with you soon. Have a great week.
