A Fairytale Touch

Today I received this beautiful mosquito net, in the post. After a much appreciated tip off from Dan, I bought this from the Deals Direct website for the bargain price of $14.95! I was so impressed with the price and it will be the perfect fairytale touch to Alannah's room.

Seeing Alannah has been waiting for ages for her own room, we really want it to be a princess haven for her, and I definitely think this is going to help achieve that. What little girl wouldn't love pink netting and roses? I know Alannah does :-)

Next week, stage 2 of building starts - yay!

Cowgirl & Cuddles

Here are a couple of layouts that I have completed in the last week.

First up, is a cyber-crop challenge from Scrap Boutique. This was Kate's challenge :


And here's a layout I created just for fun :

I'm still loving the Basic Grey Offbeat range, as you can see :-)

I've got another creation to share but I haven't photographed it yet, so will be back with that another time. It's going to be a scorching week here in Melbourne, so we will probably be laying low most of the time. Jude starts 3 yo kinder on Thursday so that's exciting for him, and I''m off to the movies with Kate & Dan tomorrow night and other than me working this arvo, we have nothing else planned. I think it's probably a good thing with next week being the start of a completely new routine with Alannah starting school.

Thanks for stopping by!

Noarlunga Beach Fun

While we were in S.A (a week and a half ago..I know - slack with the update :-P), we (Mum, Dad, Hayley, Caden, Roh, Me & the kids) headed to Noarlunga Beach on Saturday afternoon for a dip, and for Roh and Dad to go for a dive. Here are some photos of our afternoon :

Roh and Dad decided to do a beach launch so the kids could watch them..

It's a Boy Thing

Love these photos that Reeze took of Jude - it's such a boy thing to do and I love the expressions on his face. This layout is for this months challenge at Scrap the Boys, which was to be inspired by their new banner. Fun, fun!

Saying Goodbye

I felt I couldn't go on blogging without mentioning last week's sad news.

On Monday 12th January, my beloved Grandad fell asleep in death, after a fight with cancer. He was 74. We said our goodbyes to him on Friday morning, in South Australia, with sad hearts.

He will be greatly missed.

Autumn Love

I've been playing some more with the Jan Qtea kit 'Folklore Forest' - it's so gorgeous. This layout uses the fabric, cork sheet, lace and ribbon with the red flowers. I've also used the red vintage photo corners which I think was from an older Qtea kit...hmm...not sure :-P


Here's a close up of the fabric tree, matted on cork, with beads adhered with DM, to add extra texture and depth to the tree. Love this fabric!

Roh's away for work for the next two nights, so I'm hoping to get some scrapping done. I have to work tonight though :-P but after that, maybe :-)

Hello Sweetheart..

I got a chance to scrap on Saturday afternoon, while Roh was at squash and the kids were playing nicely, so I pulled out the latest Qtea kit - 'Folklore Forest' - which is absolutely gorgeous. Here I've used the paper (the large red frame) and the crochet flowers from the kit, along with Sass Lass background paper, MME's quote & journal card, Crafty Matters Word Tile and some stitching as well as a couple of alphas. I love how Dan's kits merge so well with current scrapbook ranges and I'm really happy with how this layout turned out. It ended up completely different from what I had originally planned for these photos, but I like this one better :-P. This is the first time Lana met Bodie - so sweet.
