3 Angels - Christmas Cards

This week at 3 Angels Scrapping we've created Christmas Cards. Naturally I have pretty much run out of my papers {being a PP hog and all}... but my kit is also jam packed with embies and had a pack of these Kaiser Wooden Flourishes perfect for Christmas Cards. I had a ball making these! The girls have made some stunning cards and have such great ideas, have a see at them all here.

So maybe there is a card maker inside of me somewhere, still buried deep... I think once I get over using my stamps instead of collecting them we might see something emerging!

Until next time, take care of you.

Slim Shady...

Sadly, our gorgeous little Slim isn't with us anymore... we came home to find him passed away. We don't know why, he was young and healthy... so we think snail bait or snake bite, something horrid like that. I'm really going to miss this little fella, he was cute and compact, full of attitude and love... wish he was still here with that cute little call and loud loud purr.

Until next time, take care of you.

Sweet Treats

Here's my first official 3 Angels Scrapping DT Layout... woohooo!

This week we worked with this Sketch from PageMaps. Such a nice start as I LOVE sketches, makes life so nice and easy, especially when working with new papers.

Our theme this month is... Christmas! I was sent papers from Crate Paper's North Pole range. So here's my version of the sketch:

with close ups of course:

Go have a see at all our work here, our gallery will be updated with new yummies each week! I'm having such fun already there, Jo & Rosy, the fabulous DT Team and our sweet members are all such lovely people... I'm so grateful to be made to feel so welcome!

Next month the uber talented Susan Longman joins the team creatively as well, can't wait to see what she has up her sleeve for us!


Until next time, take care of you.

Halloween Cropping!

No Halloween photos yet though! Today {well probably yesterday by the time I finish this post LOL} I went to a 12 hour crop at Tomorrow's Memories and had simply the BEST time. Everyone was wonderful, the whole crop room of girls were interacting with one another through the whole 12 hours, lots of laughter and giggles... what a great bunch of ladies!

I scrapped 5 LO's, 2 using papers well outside of my comfort zone and also made some cards with the offcuts! I also learnt how to make some awesome "Dodgy Flowers" from a lovely girl named Kellie... these are fabulous and so easy!

Here's the LO's I have done...

Until next time, take care of you.

A LO Share and some Cards...

I created this one and only LO for October's Cyber Crop @ Home and Scrapped, Kerri challenged us to create a LO using a tree and one of a few quote choices, I knew exactly what I wanted to use and say!

Isn't that tree FAB! It's from Dusty Attic, they have great designs and are really well priced. I was going to have a big shop there this week but the hubby decided he had to have a new PC Game, poor boy hasn't had one for months and months so I can't really deny him that treat! I can wait another week... just! hehehe!

I also created some cards... I don't do cards, well so I keep saying... but I have to say now - these are such FUN! Susanne from 3 Angels Scrapping challenged us to use something old but never used... of which I had a treasure trove of things. So I grabbed these Chatterbox Layered Stickers that I have no idea why I bought, teamed them up with some Doodlebug Glitter Cardstock that I bought on my 1st trip to Melbourne years ago, and some L'il Davis PP from LC's days and some Scenic Route paper I'd not touched since I bought... they were all made for each other!

So I've been making these cards using Pagemaps Card Sketchs while the mojo it low and during the week... just these little creative things to keep me doing something when the boys go and play together. I've made another 4 after this, all sorts of sizes and still have PP left to play with, good value!

I have created a few more LO's the last couple of weeks, but they are under wraps atm for Totally Addicted to Sketch and for Boutique Creations, will share when they've been released!

Saturday I'm off scrapping at a 12 hour Halloween Crop at Tomorrow's Memories, will be a fun fun day! Hopefully the mojo follows along and joins in the fun also!

Until next time, take care of you.

Buy One, Share Two

Baby Teresa sells funky baby outfits - that are all-in-one suits in either a long or short version. The cool thing is, when you buy a Baby Teresa gift for a baby you know, you're also gifting one to a baby you don't know because for each one they sell, they'll also donate one to a baby in need.

Go have a see @ Baby Teresa, this is such a wonderful idea and will help babies in need: children are our future! Spread the word...


Until next time, take care of you.

Oh... and these not so Pink LO's

Until next time, take care of you.

Pinkalicious... baby!!

I love Pink... love love love it, rarely get to scrap, rarely wear it... but I LOVE IT!!

So when the girls at 3 Angels Scrapping set a challenge to "Think Pink" this week, I couldn't resist... so I have created a "Missy's Favourite Pink Bits" Canvas, just for me;

3 Pinkalicious Cards;

and a LO of a fabulous friend!

Until next time, take care of you.

Holiday scrapping:

My mojo went walkabout again, it's really naughty you know... it's supposed to wait for me in my scrap room for whenever I want it!!

This LO took me all day to do... not sure if the mojo was being bad or the procrastination levels were at an extreme high! Mind you... I did sit there at my desk with the laptop chattering away for most of the day; looking at the photo for about 2 hours, paper for another couple of hours. Well at least my fingers got some exercise!!


This one I did in under 2 hours this morning... and that was while I was nattering away as well. Go figure. The difference here though is this used a sketch {from So Sketchy} and the colours and patterns {bright and out there as they are} just called to me! Using a sketch made it all so easy though!!

I love them both... one is comfy and grungy and the other is what I call grungy bright {as opposed to the true fun kiddy brights} and yeah, 'interesting' in my pattern choices.

I do need to take some more photos again though... I'm running out again!

Until next time, take care of you.
