Schizophrenic???

Was just wondering… Does the fact that my two latest LO’s are TOTALLY different mean that I’m schizophrenic? That sure would explain a couple of things…

 

 

See for yourself…

 

 

 

Title says “little froggy”. Products from Pink Paislee, Cosmo Cricket, Sassafras Lass, MM. Alphas from Carolee’s creations and Pink Paislee. White space, anyone???

 

 

 

 

Products used: Papers from Webster’s Pages, flower vine and leaves from Prima, flowers from Zva Creations and Spotlight, alphas from American Craft.

 

So. What do you think?

RAK draw

It was so nice to read all your comments to my “RAK post”. I for one know that it’s not always easy to think about the good things that has happened, but it’s so important that we do!! Thank you so much for sharing!!

 

I wish I could send a little something to everyone who commented, but since I still haven’t found my money tree, I just had to draw one… With help from random.org, the lucky lady is BEVERLEY! I’ll email you to get your details!

 

I wish I had something to show you as well, but I have nothing. But I will soon, so please check back!!

 

Scrapping the girls

See ya!

Half the year is gone…

…and a lot has happened in my life so far in 2009!!! New baby, new house – and everything that goes with that, new challenges in my scrapbooking world, lots! It has certainly been ups and downs in both departments, but that’s how it’s supposed to be, isn’t it?

 

 

So let’s celebrate that 6 months of 2009 is gone. OK? Leave a comment in this post – tell me the best thing that has happened to you so far in 2009. I will draw a name and send something scrappy. Let other people know by posting this on your blog, and your name will be put in twice (the value of the prize will be around 20NZD).

 

Right, moving on… There’s a new lift up at Liftvarning, and this week you can win a RAK by entering. Here’s my lift:

 

 

Title – meatballs. Products: Bazzill cs, patterned pp from Cosmo Cricket and BG, MM flower ribbon, Kaisercraft flowers, AC thickers & Jillibean soup journaling spot.

Speaking of which – THANK YOU everyone for your wonderful words of support. I goes straight to my heart. You are all amazing for taking time out of your busy lives to leave words of encouragement to me. THANKS!!!

No guts no glory

It’s official. I have lost my mind. Most of you already knew that it has been close a few times, but it has now happened. Why, you ask, if this is your first visit here? Because I’ve decided to try out for the COSMO CRICKET design team call.

 

But you see, one of the important things in my life is to have no regrets. And calls for companies like COSMO CRICKET doesn’t come around often. So I have to do it. No guts no glory. Simple as that.

 

To try out I need to post my fav LO’s with COSMO CRICKET products to my little blog (here ). So that’s what I’m now doing, hoping that I will get your support in my nervous breakdown from all of this…

 

Enough rambling then, here we go. My three favourite LO’s first:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’m not a cardmaker by any means, but here’s two cards, made mainly with COSMO CRICKET products:

 

 

 

 

 

To all of you reading this post, I’d like to say; please leave some love – I need it!!!!!!! And to Julie, Lindsey and co I’m simply saying – pick me!!!

 

Tomorrow I promise I will add what other products apart from COSMO CRICKET I have used. Right now I need to go to bed. Bye for now!

Carpe Diem

Well, I tell ya, I have been scrapping up a storm the last few days. This inspite of having a family with the flu, and having mastitis myslef. But a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do, right? Unfortunately, I’m not quite ready to show you all of the creations that has been done. Well, maybe just one…

 

 

This is the latest LO for Liftvarning. Quite like how this one came out. LOVE the photos!!!

 

 

Products used: Bazzill dotted cs, brown/blue pp from my scraps, Prima ribbon & flower, Kaisercraft rub-on, American Craft alphas, Pink Paislee chipboard journaling box, BG buttons.

 

Now I WILL be back soon to show you some more. Because I have to… Now what does that mean you wonder… Well, you’ll find out soon enough. Until then…

It’s a great feeling…

…seeing your creations in print. I’ve got the latest issue of the NZ magazine “Innovation” in front of me, and on page 45 is my third ever published LO. Very cool… I love this mag. So fresh, so inspiring! And also, two of the sneaks for the next mag are from my creations! Very exciting!!!

 

 

In a few months I’ll be able to post the LO’s here, but here are a couple of sneaks of the LO that is in the latest issue:

 

 

 

 

In the meantime, I’ll share a couple of other LO’s with you. This first one, I really love. A photo from an ordinary day at our house. The girls hanging out together!

 

 

Have used paper from American craft, chipboard from Scenic Route & Pink Paislee, alphas from BG & Carolee’s Creations, and some ods and sods…  It’s really simple, but I love it!

 

The next LO is for Ruth’s sketch challenge over at the Sketchbook. Go on over there and check it out!

 

 

 

Another simple one… Have used red, black & white cardstock and red & white dotted embossed cardstock from Bazzill, American craft patterned pp, punchinella, MM rub-on, pearlmaker, alphas from Scenic Route and Carolee’s creations, BG button, misc flower and a playing card.

 

Well, I think that’s it for today. Will be back soon to share some more…

 

Liftvarning

I’ve had a rough day with the kiddies today. Am relieved they went to bed quite easily tonight so that I could just sit on the couch for a while before hitting my scraphaven… Not expecting much to get done though, but it’s great to have the opportunity. Fingers crossed they’ll sleep for a while now!

Anyway. It’s Wednesday, which means a new LO up for lift @ Liftvarning! Today and three Wednesday’s on we’re lifting the creative team. This week my LO looks like this: (can you spot my new favourite range of papers??? Yes! Lime Rickey!!!)

 

 

There’s also a Green Tara flower sprayed with glimmermist, Carolee’s Creations mini alphas, Pearlmaker and a Jillibean Soup journaling tag on there.

 

Speaking of Jillibean Soup, I don’t think I shared my LO for last weeks lift @ Liftvarning? I’ve used a lovely embossed cs from Bazill, paper from Crate paper and then some Jillibean Soup together with Rose Moka minialphas & BG alphas. Another LO for my Sweden album. Can you believe I was there A YEAR AGO?!?!?! Time sure flies…

 

 

Okidoki. Back to the scrapping desk. Trying to decide if I should work on the mini album I just started, or try and finish the LO that’s been staring at me for the last couple of days.

 

See ya!

YES!!!!!!!

Can you believe THIS????? I sure can’t…

 

Anyway… Will try and get myself together, and post some of my newest LO’s.

Apart from the Lime Rickey I have used a Green Tara flower sprayed with “Pearl” glimmermist, pin from Heidi Swapp, AC ribbon and thickers, Carolee’s Creations alpha & pearlmaker.

 

This next LO is probably my fav among my Lime Rickey so far. I’ve added some dimensional magic, BG alphas, misc ribbon and a journaling tag from Jillibean soup.

Thanks for making your way through this long post. I’m now gonna celebrate my happy news with some popcorn!!!

In my last post…

… I asked if you had seen BAZZ. Well, we’ve found him! It’s all about Bazzill cardstock! The DT over at Scrappin Patch was challenged to create a LO with only two pieces of cardstock. No ready made embellies or patterned paper allowed. I got out my bottles of glimmermist, did some stamping as well, and this is the result:

 

 

 

Pretty cool what you can do with just two pieces of paper huh?!?!

 

Get over to the forum and check out what the rest of the DT did, and don’t forget to show us what YOU can do too! And there’s no excuses as the shop  is having a sale on Bazzill. Go on. Head over there. You know you want to…
