Moopsy Dolls for Easter

I fell in love with this Mini Moopy doll on Pinterest at the beginning of last year.

I knew that I had to make them for the kids.

 

 

So I made up my own pattern to create the kids their very own dolls.

Mine didn't turn out as floppy as the original picture, but both my kids absolutely love them, so that is all that matters. ANd ours are called Moopsy's, they both have slept with them every night since getting them for Easter last year. 

Bedside Table Makeover

From this bedside table I scored on Ebay for $1

 

 

About $30 worth of paint...

And this was the result....

A new bedside table for my son's bedroom.

 

This is where I had inspiration from. Love this room.

PS. He has the huge lego storage boxes too, they are so cool.

A Whimsical Dream Catcher

My daughter was having a lot of trouble sleeping through the night so I decided to try and make her a dreamcatcher. A special dreamcatcher that was pretty and whisical and not a traditional dreamcatcher.

This is the result. She loves it. And since she has had it up she has been sleeping much better.

 

 

Here are a few more dreamcatchers I made for some special orders.

 

 

 

Blog Changes

After no blog action for nearly 2 and a half years, I am giving it an overhaul.

So stay tuned.
Changes coming very soon.

A little share for you!

This page was made for my mum to give to my Aunty for her 50th, it now lives in a scrapbooking picture frame on my Aunty's wall. Thank god they were all in love with it too. Sorry not the best photos think it was all of the detail and dimensions of the page it I just couldn't get a good photo of it. Some detail shots

Should have some other layouts to share soon just have to get around to photographing them.

Thanks for taking the time to look and leaving your comments.

I have a little toot today! I have a page in this months Scrapbooking Memories magazine (Vol12 No8) in the christmas section of the gallery. Always exciting to see your work in print, it is the first time I have been in this magazine.
Ok some Design Team stuff to share now...
For this months newsletter over at Ideal Papercraft I got to work with Bo Bunny Block Party.
I have to admit these really aren't the type of papers I would buy and am never interested in but every now and then I enjoy a challenge and I am very happy with the outcome.
This first page is definately my favourite out of the three. Loved using some of the photos I took of Cooper rolling over. Some detail, sorry about the not so good shots it has been very overcast here.

Studio H Photography!

I have decided after alot of encouragement from everyone I know to start up my own photography buisness. Everyone loves all of the photos that I have taken of my son and ask if I do it for a living.... So I guess now I can kind of say yes, but more as a hobby for the moment. But you never know, everyone has to start from somewhere. If you click on the photo above it should direct you to the new blog I have set up if not here is the web address

www.studiohphotographyqld.blogspot.com/

I am trying to set up a facebook account for my photography too, but am still trying to figure out how to do it properly.

Well that is it for me at the moment, very busy with lots of stuff at the moment.

Thanks for taking the time to look and comment.

Until next time Take Care

I'm Back, I have been very busy!

Well I have been a little AWOL from my blog.... But I have been very busy.

Firstly I have been organising my 30th party (which was last Friday night, and I had a great night too!) I turnt 30 today!!! I have had my parents stay and heaps of running around the place.

In between all of this I have been doing some crocheting, I plan on putting some of it in my Etsy store to see how it goes along with a few other things.

This is one of the little cute beanies I have made. Everytime I put it on my son Everyone asks me where I got it from and I mean I have been getting stopped on the street to be asked! I think the model is pretty darn cute too though!

And also this cute beanie for my daughter, she just thinks she is beautiful in it! On the Scrapping front, this month for Ideal Papercraft I got to work with October Afternoon's The Thrift Shop. I LOVE October Afternoon's paper's, I think O say that everytime but I really do love their ranges they are definately my favourite brand.... anlong with a few closely following behind. Well here are the pages I have done with the papers.

The first page is to tell the story of my kids coming home layette, Ohhh I wish they would stay this little! Why do they have to grow up????

This next page is to record all of my DD favourite songs that she loves to sing, she definately loves to sing along to herself all the time.... as I am typing this I can hear her playing and singing along!

The last page I have to share I have borrowed an Idea from the fabulous American scrapper Ali Edwards. I have included a photo of all of us at two years of age just so people can see that our daughter looks like the both of us. I will do the same thing when my son turns two.

And lastly a not so spectacular card, but a card at least using all the scraps I had left over.

Well thanks for stopping by and commenting I love to hear what you have to say.

I have a few other things to share but just haven't taken photo's of them as yet!

Until next time take care

Well this first page is from when we visited the Temple of Heaven in China last year.
OMG!! I can't believe it is nearly 12 months ago that we went.... where does the time go. Some detail shots for you.Love these alphas from Prima.

The pleated ribbon in this range is tooo yummy wish I had of bought more!!!

These photos were taken of Lily and me on the merry-go-round at Hong Kong Disneyland.

Detail photo.

I just love these photos of my little girl. She was actually getting her bum changed while we were at the Temple of Heaven.The way she was just laying back ever so relaxed I just had to take some photos.

Some detail shots, I just loved the big chunky gem brads that go with the collection.

Another page using photos from our holiday last year to Hong Kong and China. These photos were taken when we went on our day trip to Macau.

Some of the border stickers from the range, and I just had to use every bit of the red and white patterned paper.(I put it on every page!)

The Colour Room Palette #4

Have you seen this fabulous new challenge blog? It is called The Colur Room
they have a gorgeous new palette of colours every Friday this is #4, so this week I had a little bit more time for free scrapping so I decided to play along. This is what I came up with, I really struggled with not putting much on the page it still feels kind of bear to me, so it could end up with something else on it yet.

This photo is a photo I wnated to take myself but it is a bit hard to take the photo when I wanted my own hands in the photo, so I enlisted the help from my brother and told him where to stand and what I wanted exactly and how to use my camera and hey presto! I love what he ended up with. Another of the ever building mountains of photo that I just have to scrap because I love the photo.Here is a little more detailed photo.

Well I'm off I want to give a few other challenges a go seen as I don't get to do them very often. My help my mojo come back a bit too.

Thanks for stopping by and for all of your comments.

Until next time take care.

This month's Sketch Challenge at Ideal Papercraft.

This month I got to set the sketch challenge over at Ideal Papercraft (formerly known as The Scrapbook Establishment) I decided that I wanted to do a sketch to use up all of the excess of scrap pieces of paper that we all have left over after every layout that we do. For this whole page I have only used scraps I didn't once use a new sheet of 12x12 patterened paper (apart from the cardstock of course!) This the sketch I came up with..... And here is my example..........................

I also used lots of the left overs of embellishments I have everywhere, I kind of saw it as a recycling page, to use up some of my mountains of leftovers I have.

Here are some more detailed photos for you.... The doilies I have recycled from old vintage doilies I have collected same as the doilie trim at the bottom of the photo.

Well thanks for stopping by and thanks for all of your comments I love to read them so keep them coming. I do have some other scrapping stuff I have done but at the moment I am unable to share them.

Well until next time Take Care.
