Winners!

My latest giveaway is now CLOSED! I had 23 people interested – thank you ladies! The result of my draw will be at the end of this post, because I want you all to see my creativity first! Ha!

 

I’ve done quite a lot lately. Especially considering the fact that crafting actually makes me really sore, and I should probably not do much… But it’s MY way of relaxing, and I know I’m preaching to the choir here…

 

So, I did some creating for the National Scrapbooking Day crop over at the Nook. 11 creations in total, but I won’t show them all at once. Here’s the one I was most happy with,  using Echo Park papers & a whole lot of random embellies, including a jean pocket:

 

 

Another one for the crop, also using Echo Park:

 

 

This one is mostly stamping & misting, but the re’s also some lovely washi tape from D-Lish scraps on there!

 

 

Then, a LO using Pink Paislee Prairie Hill, for Scrappin’ Patch:

 

 

And Pink Paislee for Scrappin’ Patch again, this time Indigo Bleu:

 

 

For Mollys Scrapbooking, using the April kit:

 

 

 

My LO for the Challenge Me Happy sketch that went live today:

Giveaway!

Hi everyone!!

 

Hope you are doing well, wherever you are in the world. I am still struggling with shoulder pain, but have met a specialist that seem to be committed to helping me!

In other news, I have been selected to be on the FIRST EVER DT for a NEW company; Kite Tails Designs! I am so honoured and EXCITED about this, and can’t WAIT for the first box of goodies to turn up!

Bad news – my camera seem to be broken. My beautiful CANON is not doing what it supposed to do, and I will have to send it away next week. I feel slightly nauseaus and panicky about this, but hope they can fix the problem – QUICK!

 

RIGHT – I have loads to share – both in creativity, and in STUFF!!

 

First off, I have drawn the winner of my RAK from the last post:

Congrats GYSPYLCM – that’s you! Email me at annelie.maddock[at]gmail. com with your details and I will send something out to you!!!

 

I have more STUFF to give away – and will tell you all about it at the end of this post!

First, I’d like to share some creativity…

Using 2Crafty Chipboard, D-Lish goodies & MME papers & embellies:

OK, I think that is all I can show today. Some more to come as soon as they have gone live in other places…

 

So – my giveaway. Well. I have a lot of STUFF. I go through phases of things that I like, and sometimes that phase finishes – without me using all the product. So. I have been trying to tidy up my scrapping studio – with emphasis on the word TRYING. It’s not going well.  I have to get rid of some STUFF. So here’s what I thought I’d do… I will have a few categories, and if you are interested to be in the draw to win them – tell me in a comment. Tell me if you are interested in one or two or all etc… I also want you to share on your on blog, or on Facebook, because I want to get rid of all the stuff I am not using anymore. Make sense?

 

So – in your comment, tell me what you would like to win, and let me know where you have shared the info about the giveaway. OK? Let’s go!

 

1. A box of PRIMA flowers, and maybe some other embellies too

2. PRIMA papers. Not the latest collections, a mix of older ones.

3. Websters Pages paper. Not the latest collections, a mix of older ones, and maybe some embellies too

5. Alphas – complete sets, maybe 10 or so

6. Alphas – uncomplete sets – LOTS!

7. Chipboard – leftover from previous DT assignments

8. Misc embellies – different manufacturers, different styles – LOTS!

9. Stamps; a combination of used and unused

 

Please help me clean out! Thank you!!!

 

Third time lucky?

This is the third time I’m writing this post. It’s gonna be significally shorter than my first draft, because I just want it posted! Nor sure what wordpress is up to, but it’s frustrating me!

I’m sorry for the lack of posting by the way. Family & work takes a lot of time as you all know, and my blogging is falling behind. Hoping it will be better soon.

Here is what I have created since my last post.

For ME, using Little Yellow Bicycle papers, both new and old collections:

Used some D-lish Scraps bling on this LO about my man as well.

Borrowed a hexagon die for this LO. Love it. Need my own now!!!

For D-lish Scraps, using washi tape, heart pins and the gorgeous heart cabachons. I also put it into Echo Parks “dots & stripes” comp, and came out as one of the winners. Very exciting!!

For Challenge Me Happy #20 – anything goes, using sponsored products from Scrappin’ Patch;

You’ve still got a week to get your creations in for that challenge, and it can’t get any easier than “Anything Goes”!!

For miss 3′s pre-school teachers, using D-lish scraps flowers, sprays, rose ribbon and bling, & 2Crafty “easter word” & “twiggy branch” chipboard.

Needed to do one for miss 5′s teacher as well of course, and that one looked like this:

Hope you are all haveing a fabulous Easter. I’m having a few days off with my girls, and so far we’ve had a wonderful time! Next week I am off to Autumn Escape in Taupo for an indulgence in friendship, spa treatements and SCRAPPING. See you soon!!

How is it possible…

…that it’s 2 weeks since my last blog post? Time is TICKING away too fast for me at the moment!

 

So, while the girls are watching some bed-time TV, here’s a quick update from me.

 

For 2Crafty, I have done two LO’s that I REALLY love. Using gorgeous My Little Shoebox papers on this first LO, and my fav range from Crate Paper (Random) on the second one. On the second one I have also used washi tape from D-Lish Scraps!

 

 

 

For Scrappin’ Patch using Echo Park ”Yours truly” collection:

 

 

For a photoswap over at the Nook, using a winter collection from Echo Park:

 

 

For D-lish Scraps, and also for the photo swap:

 

And last for today, a LO for the latest Challenge Me Happy challenge – masking.

 

 

Yep. I’m still doing banners. Still doing mist splatter. Still loving it. Hope you do too! See ya!

Quick share

Lucky for you I have no time for chit chat, so here’s a little update on what I have created lately!

 

For Mollys Scrapbooking, using one of the past “shabby kits”:

 

 

 

For 2Crafty:

 

 

 

For 2Crafty & D-Lish Scraps:

For Scrappin’ Patch:

 

 

And – of course there is more to come. Also thought I’d share my project life pages soon. Anyone interested??

 

Busy bee

Oh my goodness I have been busy lately. Both privately & scrap wise. Work is nuts, and sleep hasn’t really happened lately.

BUT – I have been creative. My oh my, have I ever. Some of it I can share, some of it will have to wait. So – without further ado – sharing it is!! But I’m warning you – I am sort of scraplifting myself at the moment. I have found a concept I love, and I’m following it every time I start creating something new. Is that bad??

First – my take on the latest Challenge Me Happy challenge – a recipe this time!

 

My first LO for my new term with Scrappin’ Patch, using Echo Park “Yours Truly” range. For more details, check out the blog here.

 

 

Then my first 2Crafty LO, and I have also used some cute resin flowers from D-Lish scraps. For more details, check out the 2Crafty blog here.

 

 

Another really exciting thing for me, is that I am the featured card designer on the Nook blog. Seeing as I have just recently started making cards, this is a huge BUZZ!

One of the cards featured is this one that I made for a colleagues birthday recently. Did you know I love twine?

 

 

Well, that’s it for today. Thanks for stopping by!!

 

 

Well hello

Hi blog. Yes I remember you. It’s been too long, I know – but at least I’m here now!

 

First, I’d lke to share with you my latest DT news – I’ve joined the amazing team over at 2Crafty! They make a fantastic range of chipboard, and the rest of the team is incredibly talanted. My first project will go up on the blog next week, so make sure you make a visit! “Like” them on Facebook too, at the moment they are only a few “likers” away for a giveaway!

 

On the Challenge Me Happy Facebook page, we are also only a couple of “likers” away from a giveaway. Have you “liked” us yet?

 

Our last challenge at Challenge Me Happy - you still have a few days to enter – is a word challenge. The word is “NEW”, and here is my take; using Pink Paislee goodies from Scrappin’ Patch!

 

 

I’ve also kept up with the New Year’s Crop over at the Nook. Here’s a LO that was for a scraplift – of myself! I lifted my “My Man“ LO, and this is what I did:

 

 

I also created my FIRST EVER TAG for the crop, and I used a couple of D-Lish resin roses on it. They are delish for sure! My tag was actually featured on the Nook blog, and chosen as the weekly feature on the Nook message board. Who’d have thought?!?!?

 

 

OK. I think that’s it.  I am working on something for EVERY team I am on at the moment (plus some challenges), so should have a few things to show you soon again, That’s if I can remember to blog about it…

 

Thanks for visiting!

Like coming home

Have you heard? I’m back on the Scrappin’ Patch DT! Honestly, it feels like coming home. I think both the Patch and I needed this year away from each other, but it feel just amazing to be back on the team! Check out the blog & see who the other lucky ladies are – Adrienne is still announcing the team, one designer at a time!

So. I have been scrapping. I have done two LO’s for the crop that is happening on the Nook messageboard at the moment. Using Crate Paper and some lovely D-lish goodies, and I’m in heaven. I’m stoked with how these two LO’s came out. What do you think??

 

Now. I’ve actually got ONE MORE scrappy secret… Stay tuned for that announcement soon!

1st of the month reveal

SO it’s my birthday month! YAY!!! Won’t celebrate all month though, but got a few fun things planned. Lucky me!!

 

Today is the first day of the month, which means a new challenge is up at Challenge Me Happy! Our new designers have their fist challenge LO up, and all the “old” designers have of course joined them. It’s an AWESOME challenge and a FANTASTIC reveal!! This is my take, but PLEASE go and check all the other inspiration out. And participate – it’s the easiest challenge we’ve had so far!! There’s also a fantastic kit from Mollys Scrapbooking to be won. Yay!!

 

 

I was lucky enough to get sponsored materil from Scrappin’ Patch this month. This is paper & acetate frame from the “Summer’s End” colletion from Fancy Pants. I have to say I struggled a little with the acetate (frame), but finally did something I am quite happy about! I love the soft colours in this collection, together with the orange & bright green!

 

Then – Handmade Halo has their first ever challenge up. A lovely sketch by the talented Em Stafrace. This is my BRIGHT take on the sketch, using Halo goodies:

 

 

 

 

I love this photo of Elsa. It catches her stubborn and independent personality perfectly. She definately goes her own way already…

OK. That’s it for today – go check out those challenges now. Please? I might by myself a birdcage today, just ‘cos…

 

11 sleeps…
