Week 12 - I Believe....

"I believe"....that was this week's prompt at Emily's mini art journal project...and here is what I did. I believe in the power of the smile, the sheer happiness it can bring someone who might not be having the best day, the way it can make you feel loved and just how beautiful a smiling face is.

I've used a Lil Davis Journaling stamp, some American Craft rub-ons, a Doodlebug paper frill and a Making Memories rub-on alphabet.

Hope you are having a fab week! Thanks for visiting :-)

makes me smile. These are the times to remember when days are hard - that the smile and laughter of your children can melt your heart, and make your day.

An interesting idea...

I'm planning on doing an album, just of layouts about my hubby Rohan, and recently I've come up with this plan to do a layout about two of the things he collects - Star Wars & Transformers figurines. And for those who know Roh and his collection - they know just how crazy he is about it all :-). But I've not known a time when Roh hasn't collected toys, so to me, it's just the norm now. Just thought I'd share a few images that I found today, which may or may not end up on the layout.

Oh well, it's something different, at least...

Now I just have to scrap it!

Week 11 - My Initial - K

Well, here are my cards for this week's prompt - your initial. I put this together at Danielle's place..and got to play with some beautiful fabric and some more felt which was great. I must admit that I haven't always been happy with my name...after having gone to school with 3 other Kelly's I tried to spell it differently just to stand out - gotta love being a teenager - now that just seems funny (I tried spelling it "Kelleigh") and funnily enough it just didn't catch on - LOL.

Good News & Bad News

Well, I'll start with the bad news...it's really not that serious BUT Jude broke my glasses about 3 weeks ago, and I've just found out that they were a limited release, and they can't be fixed :-( so that makes me sad cos I LOVED my glasses and they were only about 6 months old. C'est la vie. Now I get to pick out a new pair! :-)

Some good news - today I won one of the cybercrop challenges over at Crafting In Style and with my prize voucher, I bought some Lil Davis Journalling Stamps - yay! They should be fun and useful. Also, Natalie from Scrap Therapy has asked me if she can use one of my layouts for an advertorial she is doing for one of the scrap magazines, which was really quite a flattering request. The layout in question does reflect very similar qualities to her website logo so it also makes sense.

Today I managed to get this layout done - it's for the 1,2,3 Challenge Blog for March. I had so much FUN using the Autumn Leaves Rhonna Farrer Swirls stamps - I fell in love with these when I saw them on one of Jane Fitchett's layouts and they were a must have. Funny thing is, I've had them since early January and this is the first time I've played with them - he he. But I'm still so happy that I got them.

Tomorrow should be a busy day. From about midday I have Sienna and Ash as well as my two, until about 8pm, while Danielle shoots a wedding. So I'm pretty much writing the day off. Oh, and tomorrow night is the launch of the 1,2,3 Blog's monthly Cybercrop - the great thing with this being that you get until the end of the month to get the challenges finished - yep - about 2 weeks to do the challenges - pretty cool hey! Oh, and I've donated one of the prizes this month - a Bam Pop pack - so definitely worth having a go! :-)

Have a great Friday!

Week 10 - Note to Self

Finally, I've done the current week to Emily's Mini Art Journal project. This week's prompt was "Note to Self", so I told myself to enjoy my life, my kids, my family, my creativity, and to be grateful for happiness, food, shelter and a passion for life. Sometimes, I think, we need to remind ourselves of all the good things, and not focus on the daily stresses of life. There are so many things in life to appreciate.

I decided to make a little red felt flower (yes - it is actually red but felt doesn't seem to scan too well) and I used some left over MME's patterned paper, which is one of my fav colour combos - red & aqua - just LOVE it!

Had work today, but was so glad to come home and do a little creating. Thanks for visiting :-)
