Ready to Scrap

Well... I had all my papers out to scrap a page for a challenge and to add to my 2nd daughters very "thin" scrapbook album. But once again i got side tracked, with a 21st Birthday cake for a friends daughter, and making chalkboard party favours for a 1st birthday.

It was the first time i iced a cake with rose patterns.
Not too bad for a first time.

25 Chalkboards in the making.
I forgot to take a photo of the finished product.
oops.

We have our mid term break now, so we doing some childrens classes. Had a card class today and Thursday we will be doing an off the page Canvas.
So watch this space.
Thank you for visiting and have a lovely day.

                                 

Get Well Card.

This morning i heard one of my friends has pneumonia. Still having my bits and pieces out from the card i made for a sketch challenge, i thought i'd make her a quick get well  card. I saw this simple, but striking card on twopeasinabucket "Finally Friday" video.

Definately making more of these for my stash.

Happy Scrapping and thank you for visiting.

Pintrest

Let's see if we can get the pin it button loaded to my posts.

Got Crafty.

 Well. After yesterdays reflecting, and feeling sorry for myself. I decided to find a challenge and get crafty. This challenge is from twopeasinabucket. Saturday card sketch challenge. Here is the card sketch and card Kimber Mcgray made. This is so cheerful and summery.

Sketch

Kimber's Card

Here's my take on the sketch. I have been wanting to put my sewing machine to paper, but never get around to it, but luckly this time my sewing machine was on the table and i added my first ever stitching to paper. I was expecting a disaster, but all turned out good. Excuse the inking of my tag. I had sewn it down and then realized i never inked it. I suppose it's the imperfections that make it unique. LOL!!!

Thanks for visiting, and Happy Scrapping!!! 

Why don't YOU visit Saturday Card Sketch Challenge with Kimber 9.1.12 - Two Peas in a Bucket and be challenged to create.

Looking forward to getting Crafty again.

 I really haven't got going on this blog. I should have known this year was going to be hectic, as we started renovations on our home. For those of you that have had renovations done i'm sure you'll know it is chaos no matter what you try. And BUILDERS?!??!!@ Well... lets leave it at that. After 7 months we are done. I thought the day would never come. So now i just need to do the interior of my craft room and hopefully i can get crafty on a regular basis. On top of the building my 8 year old daughter was diagnosed with ADHD, and the last 8 months we have been going from OT(occupational therapy) to Visual training to the pshycologist. Finally that has also all come to an end, and it seems we are returning back to normality. So suffice to say we are are ready for 2013 with a new school year and no builders. YAY!! There are so many talented people out there blogging that have inspired me to get going and share my love for crafts with you. So here's to getting crafty and inspired on this blog.

Bright and Cheery 40th.

I was so inspired by Amy of Living Locurto's 40th colours and decor, i just had to use the wonderful bright colours of orange, pink and purple. pop over to her pintrest boards. Making the very easy, but striking pom-poms. Loads of tutorials on youtube. My Martha Stewart scoreboard came in handy for the big rosettes.
