My first blog post .....

Today was the day of my first rostered blog post over at WOW. I created this set of 4 boy themed cards using the Boy Card Pack and some of the smaller frames from the 12 x 12 Cog Frame Set along with some flamed wings.

To see all of the cards individually and close ups head on over to the WOW blog and see my post here.

My first "official" WOW creation .....

This layout has been, what it feels, a lifetime in the making! It's been on-the-desk-off-the-desk-packed-in-a-bag-taken-to-a-crop-put-back-on-the-desk-packed-up-again .... lol .... until this morning I f-i-n-a-l-l-y got it finished.

The shop had been uber busy, in fact more so than I ever could have wished for. Team that up with a 4 yr old, an almost 4 mth old and the duties of day to day life and you soon realise that there just aren't enough hours in the day. But slowly we are finding a routine and I refuse to let life take me over so much that I no longer have any time to myself. The best thing to come out of all of this ... I have learnt to scrap faster! Limited time means I just don't have the opportunity to keep second guessing myself if I ever want to complete a project.

I have teamed up the gorgeous WOW chipboard spear picket fence with papers from the Making Memories Je t'Adore range.

The fence is bigger than what is shown, it's actually 12" in length but I have cut it up to suit my project. It just means I have some leftover fence to use on another project! ;)

Here's a closeup showing off the fence and the embellishing.

Off to start on my next piece ... I'm on a roll!

Time for a change ....

They say a change is as good as a holiday ... and let's face it, I won't be getting one of those anytime soon ... so I decided it was time for a little blog makeover.

You like?? :)

I went with something bright and cute this time. Has taken me a little while to get it the way I wanted but I must say I am mighty happy now.

I've also decided to remove my blog feeds from my personal facebook and add them to their own page. Let's face it ... as much as all my friends love me, they don't all give a crap about my scrapbooking ... lol. This way it also means that people that aren't my "facebook friends" can follow my blog on facebook too ... so a win win situation all round I think :)

If you want to follow my blog on facebook you'll find the like box over there

That's all for today :)

Mad About Scrappin - July colour challenge

The monthly challenges have returned at Mad About Scrappin. This month you are to create a layout using the gorgeous colour palette below.

The prize is a D-stress tool from Imaginisce and because Mad About Scrappin are turning 5, they are giving away not one but TWO of them!! Winners are decided by random draw so all levels of scrappers have an equal chance of winning.

Here's my take on the combo, a mix of old papers from my stash and 2 different pieces of WOW chipboard, the wreath and banner.

And a few close ups to show off the embellishing.

Hope you like it!
