It might take my non tech brain a while to get the pin it button on my posts. Hopefully i'll have it on by the end of the day.  Just checked my preview and its on. Great, it only took me an hour. LOL !!!!

Tim Holtz Class

Today I did a class with Belinda Basson. A true T!m Holtz Fan. This class was filled with lots of technique from using paints, inks, dye's. All Tim Hotlz of course. I loved my project so, i bought a frame and its ready to hang in my newly built scrap room. Pop over to her blog to view all the ladies works of art. www.bellasscrappinspace.blogspot.com
Thanks for a lovely morning Belinda.

Let's get 2012 started.

The last months of 2011 were busy with this and that, but not to much crafting. I did do a few challenges and crafts which were fun over the holiday season. Now the builders are at work building my studio and a few extras for the family. Come March i'll have my own space. Yeah!! Here are some crafts i got to do. Hope there will be lots of time for crafting this year.

 This was a colour challenge from two peas in a bucket. A coke tin was the colour inspiration. It worked great for me, as my daughters 7th birthday party were the same colours and the photos worked great for this challenge. Now i have one less page to scrap.

 A Stamp TV inspired Note book and pen. 

I gave my friends each one for the start of the new year. 

A project using all T!m Holtz products. What an amazingly creative and inspiring guy. Gotta love T!m.

2012 Calendar

I finally finished embellishing my calendar. So here it is. I just loved Tim Holtz dressform die by sissix. So i themed my calendar round that. Used some dressform rub-ons a martha steward border punch, with black&white and sepia photo's. As complicated as the desk top calendar looks, it's actually very easy. A few peaces of chipboard, pattern paper and a roll of double sided tape and your off to making a wonderful gift for Grandad, dad's desk at work or any special friend.

Kitchen Girls!

While i was searching for cupcake images on the internet. I came across bakerellas blog and amazing, Cake Pops. I was so inspired, i went straight out and got her lovely bound book with over 40 ideas and tips. With Bakerella in hand we set off to make our first cake pops. I wasn't too sure about how it would taste, but it's amazing. Then my daughter decided she wanted to make her own. So off she went to school with her cake pops in hand.      

Oh dear!!! I can see the gained pounds already? LOL!!!

Cuttlebug Challenge

It has taken a scrapbook challenge to get my creative juices going again. We needed to do a double page layout using the cuttlebug. I love butterflies. So when Sam from The Scrap Studio pulled out the cuttlebug cut & emboss butterfly papillons. I was ready for the challenge. My page is busier than what it usually is. The reason might be that i haven't scrapped for myself in over a year, and wanted to do everything on one layout.Well now i'm rearing to get going on the back log of scrapping i have. Thanks Sam...... Now i'll have to get myself a job to afford all the scrapping goodies i want need for my pages. LOL!!!
