Cards, cards and more cards.....

Hi Everyone,

It has been a hug few weeks in my household!!

However, at the end of this week school holidays start and I may just be semi-normal again!

This week I have a few cards to share with you. I have been crazily making cards - which is so unlike me - for the many special occasions we have had and/or are coming up.

I thought I would share them with you....

The first two I have used the gorgeous Graphic 45 - Secret Garden Collection. Such a gorgeous collection of papers!

I made this first card for our neighbours birthday!!

The next card I have made is for my Mum's birthday which is tomorrow. Again these are the Graphic 45 - Secret Garden Collection.

The next two cards are cards I have made for my sisters birthday. One sister, Shell, celebrated her birthday back at the end of May and today is my other sister, Jenn's birthday.

For the first card I have used the gorgeous Echo Park - Sweet Girl range. I just love the yellows in this paper range.

The next card I have used the Carta Bella Beautiful Moments paper pad.

The final card I would like to share is the card I made for Jason, my husband. We celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary last week.

I have also used the Carta Bella - Beautiful Moments paper pad for this card.

Have you entered this month's challenge? If not....why not????

It really is very simple. All you need to do is complete a 'Mum' themed layout using the sketch (found in the right column of this blog). Then email your entry to joanne@scrapbookit.com.au

It is that simple!!!

Until next time,

Love is in the Air

Hi Everyone,

Yes! Love is in the air and yesterday was a lovely day for a wedding! 

Jason and I travelled up on Thursday to the Southern Highlands of New South Wales for the wedding yesterday of my cousin and his beautiful new bride.

What a lovely day it was and now we are thinking of making the trip home.

Congratulations to Mark and Kristelle!

Today I would like to share with you a few different projects that I have completed lately.

The first is the card I made for the Bride and Groom.
I have used the gorgeous 'Beautiful Moments' papers by Carta Bella.
Do you like my little whimsical tree?

I love the little rub ons and the best bit was I probably purchased them about 6 years ago and finally I have found a use for them.

Next is a layout of my little man all yet those years ago (8 to be exact) as a new born in hospital.
I have used the Kaisercraft collection 'Bundle of Joy - Boy' for this layout.

The last project I would like to share with you is one of my Nanna and Brayden

Now, have you checked out Jo's last post with the sneak peeks of our new DT members work???? Have you got any ideas?
I am very excited to have them on the team and can't wait to work alongside them.....not long before the secret is revealed!

Have you entered our latest challenge?
Remember you have until the end of the month to get your entry emiled to Jo.
Looking forward to seeing your entry in the gallery.

Happy Scrapping!

I thought I would share a couple of christmas projects I have done this last week featuring Kaisercraft ranges. This is a canvas I made using the 'Turtledove' range, some FWAB flourishes, Green Tara leaves and kaisercraft flower ribbon.
Thanks Chris Jarrett for the photo taken at our christmas crop.

In this  Layout I have used some left over bits from the Kaisercraft 'Mint Twist' range, Green Tara flowers Kaisercraft words and a PP button.
