Sneaky peek....

This is Lime Tarts January kit - Half Tart, isn't it gorgeous??? Go and have a look here and have a peak at the other kits, just gorgeous!!

Because of my holiday I will start playing with the kits in February but in the meantime Philipa sent me some of these gorgeous papers and some Sweetpea stamps! So I've been stealing any spare little bit of time I can and been colouring with my Copics...heres a little sneak..



So many gorgeous stuff to play with and so little time at the moment....thanks for popping by!

Exciting News.......

I have a little secret to share...... the lovely Philippa from Lime Tart has asked me to join the DT for 3 months!
I am super excited to be joining such a fabulous bunch of ladies with such amazing talent!!
So pop on over to Lime Tart and have a peek and don't forget to look out for my Lime Tart creations!!

Honourable Mention!!!

I am super excited about my Scrabooking Master's Honourable Mention and my first time published in a mag!!!



And a close up of mine.



This is a quick post before rushing into town, I will be back with some pics of my LO's (when I have taken some...LOL!) and I can't wait to sit with a cuppa tonight and pour over all those yummy creations in the mag!!!

Thanks for popping by and all your lovely comments!!!

Get Picky and My Minds Eye challenges!!!

First up is my LO for Get Picky's inspiration challenge, I love the whole quote but the word 'miracles' really stuck out at me, all 3 of my kids are miracles. But this LO is of my eldest son who was a twin but I lost his twin early in my pregnancy and had some serious complications , I have tucked in some personal journaling on the tag behind the scan pics and have kept the design pretty simple to keep my pics the main focus!



Next up is my LO for My Minds Eye challenge 'Its a _________ thing'. This is my DD and her love for all things girlie!



I got some shelving today for my little scrapbooking spot so I am busy organising and packing....making more space...LOL!!!! Thanks for popping by and for your lovely comments!!

And some Crate Paper yumminess!!!!

Have a look here!

Crate Paper started a new challenge this month, a Colour Challenge. Here is my altered notebook, which is featured on their blog with some gorgeous entries, so pop on over and have a look!



Thanks for popping by!!!

Prima Yumminess!!!

Have a look here!

My November BAP LO is featured on their blog with some gorgeous other LO's too!



Not long till christmas and I think all our social events are finished now so hopefully life won't be so rushed, love the socialising but phew it can catch up with you!!

White with 1

I loved the challenge this month at WW1 this month even though the grey was a bit daunting and the lack of grey stash....LOL!!! And with life being so busy at the moment, this LO took ages to do with so many interruptions - don't enjoy scrapping like that but hey, thats life!



Here is some close ups of my yummy piece of Dusty Attic.





I have been experimenting with my chippies, playing with my heat gun and loved the finish on my letterbox. Now I can't take credit for this, I got some helpful hints from the super talented Mistra Hoolahan, if you haven't seen her work then head over to her blog !

Thanks for popping by and for taking the time to comment. Have a fabulous weekend!!!

A little bit excited!!!!

Head over to Lime Tart's blog and have a look!!!!

Thank you Philippa for asking me and a BIG thank you for personalizing my orders (sorry they get a bit confusing at times...LOL!)and for your professional service, I love getting my parcels and for those extra little suprises you throw in :)

So head over to Lime Tart and see the amazing stuff Philippa has in store, they have an awsome Copic Club (a personal fave of mine!) and she also has a super talented design team!

Thank you for popping by and please don't forget to pop over to Lime Tart, have a peek and leave a little love :)

Remember......

to stop and take a moment to breath.......Phew has it been busy around here and not getting much time to scrap or sleep for that matter :( So I thought I would share an old card and two LO. First up is a card, using a gorgeous CC Designs stamp, Jessamine.



This LO was for last months (I think) sketch challenge at Crate Paper blog, a littl bit different to my usual I think but I still like it.



And last but not least is another Crate Paper LO using their Restoration range.



And how lucky am I? Yesterday was my birthday and DH is away but my DD gathered up the boys on Sunday night and they all made cards for me. She wrapped my pressies and they even made cupcakes for me while I was at work. I was completely blown away and felt very loved and appreciated! Sometimes they get so wrapped up in themselves (as all kids do), you actually wonder how much they appreciate? They did it all by themselves without any prompting so I am very proud of my gorgeous children!!!! Here are their cards, aren't they special?



Well done if you got to the end of my long post and thank you for popping by!!!
