Sad News

Hey everyone!

 I haven't really done much the last week or so. Its been a rough week in our family as we had a very sick pet. We had to make the heartbreaking decision to put her to sleep. Oh my goodness, I thought my heart would break! We have had this little cat for near on 18 years. When she was 3 she was hit by a car and paralized. My hubby was told to have her put down. He decided to keep her so all this time he has been expressing her bladder and looking after her with so much love she is became like one of the kids. She was so dependent on us as she couldn't go outside. She gave us all soo much love. She would sit with my little girl while she dressed her in dolls clothes and bootees. She was wheeled around in dolls prams and just generally always a constant companion. We are all heartbroken and it will take some time to adjust.  Here is a photo of her.

She was just the most gorgeous and affectionate little cat.  We are missing her terribly :(

On some happier news, I made top 4 at the Feeling Sketchy challenge blog!  But to make it even more exciting, my name was in print next the the absolutely fabulous Liz Webber!!!!  OMGosh, what a buzz!  I have really been enjoying these sketches and all of the work is just amazing.

As I haven't done much thought I would share with you a couple of layouts that I completed for my DT commitments with Mad About Scrappin'.  This kit was so much fun to work with and I love the colours.

Here is the link.  These kits are an absolute bargain.  I got 3 layouts out of it.

Feeling Sketchy Challenge

Hey everyone!

Just a very quick post today.  I have been following a blog called Feeling Sketchy for a little while now.  They have challenges every week.  This week I decided to jump in and have a go.  This is the sketch that we had to go from.  It could be a scrap page or a card.  I decided to go with a card.

And this is what I came up with

I used my new Martha Stewart punch, the stamp is a Whismy stamp and some Kaisercraft paper.  If you get a chance you should check out this little challenge site.  Here's the link for you.  http://feeling-sketchy.blogspot.com.au/

I'm off now to teach another scrap class this morning.  Enjoy your day and thanks for dropping by!



Mad About Scrappin - DT Kits

Hey everyone

Well I certainly went into panic mode when I received this months DT pack from Mad About Scrappin.  These were colours that I just would never choose to play with.  Thats the thing with DT work.  You can be guaranteed of receiving some gorgeous products then you really have to put your thinking caps on!  Anyway I was pleased with how they came out.  This paper line is Life Documented and can be found over at http://www.madaboutscrappin.com.au/store/ as of tonight for their Flog It Friday Sale.

These kits are fantastic value and make scrappin so easy when its all co-ordinated for you.  This is the other layout I came up with.



You will even have a few scraps left over to use for your cards too.

Thanks for popping by!

Fun Times

Hey there friends.

Wow!  What a day!  Have just come home from the Perth Craft and Quilt Fair in the city.  Had a lovely time looking at all those yummy craft supplies.  We don't get too many fairs here so its nice to get out and enjoy them when we do!

I always say I'm not going to spend too much money but oh dear -  I never manage to come out with money left over.  I did get some lovely stamps so can't wait to ink them up and have a play and of course no craft show is complete for me without some new Martha Stewart punches :)

I was lucky enough to get a few spare hours the other afternoon and made these vintage cards.

.

Love how they turned out.  These are Kaisercraft papers. Sooo nice!  Loving the their papers at the moment.  They are getting better and better.

Also finished this layout too.  Im entering this into the WOW (Words Or Whatever) challenge.  Check out their blog for details. http://www.wordsorwhatever.blogspot.com.au/

Thanks for popping by.  I'm off for a hot cuppa and to put my feet up.  Im exhausted!  Take care!
