The Night Zoo Layout

Welcome back!

 

Two posts in one day - woo hoo! This time it's a scrapbooking page of my little one during her very first school excursion...

 

 

For this layout I used Night of Navy, Crumb Cake and Basic Grey. The letters were cut with the Simple Letters Stampin' Up! Bigz Die. The leaves were cut from some now retired DSP. The moon is a half 1 3/8" circle of So Saffron. Very, very simple.

 

Thanks for visiting again.

Girly Cards

Gosh, school holidays sure can be a busy time! I always look forward to them, thinking that it will be a relaxing time, but they usually end up being busier than ever, trying to keep the girls entertained. It feels like we haven't stopped, but they've had loads of fun, and the holidays are almost over. :(

So it goes without saying that there has hardly been any time for crafting. I had to really squeeze these cards in just so we could make it to the two parties for which they were intended. Here they are...

 

 

I love this image. She's not too cutesy and not too grown up. I've made her a little sparkly and gave her a little flower hair clip curtesy of one of the punches from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack. She was coloured with ink pads and a watercolour pen. Cardstock colours are So Saffron and Whisper White. The paper is from the Soft Subtles pad. The sentiment if from Happiest Birthday Wishes.

 

 

This image is super cute. I just love her. I can't believe I've owned her for so long and have only used her now! She was also coloured as above and wears the same 'hair clip." The letters were cut using the Simple Letters Alphabet Dies. Cardstock colours are Crumb Cake, Pretty in Pink and Bashful Blue. Normally, it would be my "thing" to add some Crystal Effects to her glasses and camera lens but it just wouldn't have dried in time by the time we had to leave for the party. :(

Well, that's all. Better go start getting us all ready. Enjoy this glorious Spring weather.

Take care.

Christmas Scrapbooking

Hello again.

Hope you're all well. I have to say that I'm loving these school holidays. Lots of R & R! So much so that I managed to complete another two double page layouts. Gotta love that! Here they are...

This first one is for Demi's album. It's of her first Athletics Carnival.

My little chicken came second in her sprint!

This Christmas layout is for Mia's album...

I do have completed another layout but I'm not really happy. :( It's just lacking something. Hopefully I can work on it some more over the next couple of days. Wish me luck!

Sk8er Birthday Boy

My little Demi was sick today :( so we both stayed home together and rested, and managed to do some crafting.

I made a card for a school friend of Mia's, to whose party she has been invited to tomorrow. Here it is...

And here is the matching bag that I made...

The little sk8er boy image is perfect for little boys. He was stamped onto watercolour paper with black StazOn ink and coloured with SU markers and a blender pen. The sentiment is from Up & Away. I have no idea about the paper - sorry!Cardstock colours used were Crumb Cake, Bravo Burgundy, Night of Navy and More Mustard. The circles were cut with the Circle Scissors and circle punches. The letters on the bag were cut with the Simple Letters Alphabet dies.

Well, hopefully we'll all be off to bed early tonight so we can all be rested and feeling up to scratch for the weekend. Don't forget that Daylight Savings ends this Sunday 1 April 2012, at 3:00 am when clocks will be put back one hour. I have to say that I'm not looking forward to the dark mornings and afternoons. :(

Catch you again soon.
