We are off to Hong Kong and China TODAY!!!! OMG!!!

I know photo's first but I will explain below!!!!!!

We leave for Hong Kong and China this morning like in about an 1 1/2 hours to be exactYes I haven't fallen off the face of the earth have just been very very very busy getting ready for today. Packing, Washing, Working and all the rest of the usual stuff as well as being a little sick. I haven't even had time to do any scrapping which definitely isn't like me at all but I do however have these pages I can share now. I was asked a few weeks ago if I would be interested in being a guest designer for the inspiration newsletter at The Scrapbook Establishment.

I got to work with the new Imaginisce Twitterpated papers, very cute they are so this is what I came up with, I had to also do an OTP project too. Don't look to closly at it as I hate OTP and it definitely won't be the best you have seen, but it's passable.

Well sorry about the weird set up of this post my mouse has stopped working properly so I can't move the photo's to where I want them and I don't have time to fix it so it will have to do. Well I had better be off otherwise we won't be ready when the Transfer guy comes at 7am. Take care everyone and I will do my best to keep the blog updated while we are overseas with photo's along the way.

Thanks for taking the time to look.

My Guest Spot on Journal it Challenge Blog!

This page is for Journal it Blog Challenge #2 - Favorite word / Phrase. I finished it a little late too, but oh well I got it finished! I had to twist it a little and made it about all of the words that Lily can say at 18 months rather than 1 one in particular. I am sooooo happy with this page. I love everything about it, definitely a new favourite of mine. The butterflies I cut them all out individually on my Making Memories Slice Machine.

I was asked to do a page for a guest creative team member over at the Journal it Challenge Blog. here is the link for the Challenge Blog.http://journalit.wordpress.com/

This is the page I came up with for the Challenge #3 - Scrap an Affirmation. This my latest kit for Fancy That Scrapbooking. There are still a few available so contact the shop on 07 3818 8500. The kit includes materials and the full instructions for the page.
My Holiday Countdown- ONLY 4 WEEKS TO GO TOMORROW (Sunday) Yippee!!!!!

Well Thanks for looking and all of your comments I love reading them all.

Until next time, Take Care.

5 weeks to go Today!!!

It is 5 weeks Today that we are going to Hong Kong and China for 3 weeks. But between now and then I have my parents here visiting for about a week and as well as my FIL for 2 weeks helping around the house. As well as all the usual stuff like work and all the rest of the mummy chores we have to do everyday! I am starting to get excited now though! We went and exchanged some money the other day ready for the trip.

So I have been trying to get as much as I can get done on our America photos, so that I can scrap the new holiday photo's when I get back. So here is another page for our America album. it is Hoover Dam from the helicopter when we went on the Grand Canyon Tour.

This is another kit I have made for Fancy That Scrapbooking. It is a 3 page kit it includes materials and full instructions to make the pages. There is still a few left so be quick!

Well that's it for the minute. Hopefully I will do some more scrapping today while Lily is still asleep. Thanks for Looking and all of your comments I really love reading them. Take Care.

Another kit I made for Fancy That Scrapbooking. If you are interested in one of these kits contact the girls on 07 3818 8500. The kit contains all instructions and materials.

I plan on getting some more scrapping done tomorrow hopefully ( fingers crossed) and I will have a sneak peak I will be able to share with you in the next few days.

Until then Thanks for looking and take care!

Look what my sweet Darling other half bought me!!

Look what showed up in the post this week!!!! My darling other half Kel bought this secretly on eBay from USA, without me knowing. He saw that I had been watching a few of them to see how much they went for and bid on one and got it for way less than half the price you can get them here in Australia for (that was with postage too). He deleted all the info so that I wouldn't know about it until it came. How sweet is my man????? Have had fun playing with my new toy it does what I want it to do for the moment. Until I one day upgrade to the creative cutter which won't be for quite sometime. ( I can't justify that big of a purchase just yet when I already have so much scrapping supplies to use.)

This is the card I made for my cousin down in Melbourne who is getting married this weekend.

I used my new memory slice to cut the scalloped circle behind the hearts.

I can now share some of my kits that I have made up for Fancy that Scrapbooking. There is still a few kits available for sale so be quick before they all go. You can contact the girls at Fancy That on 07 3818 8500, they are more than happy to help out.

That's it for me at the minute. Will be back later during the week to share some more kits.

Thanks for looking and all of your comments. Take care!!

Look what I got!!

Look what I got from the fabulous Charmane Kosch! How exciting! Now I have to pass this on to someone else's blog that I love so here they are!
