KAISER SWEET NOTHINGS & SWEET FAMILY 

I love this photo of my Mum and Aunty with my Nan and Great Nan at the Royal Show circa 1950......it went so well with the Kaiser Sweet Nothings range...............which I must use more of.

 CARDS FOR MY BESTIES

 I love these My Minds Eye papers and just had to make a set of cards for my 4 besties............. again they all include butterflys!!!

MY BUTTERFLY OBSESSION

Pretty much all of my layouts and cards include butterfly's at the moment.......................... I think it may be a bit of an obsession. Looking forward to getting my goodies from Anna's Craft Cupboard next week as my new cutter is in it - so needed - and I ordered some Boy's Life papers from Echo Park - which will help me get stuck into more layouts of my Joshie!

Josh has a good first few days at Pre School - and I am looking forward to a scrappy day at home on Tuesday - my last full day of leave!!

I am going to try to simplify and keep on top of my photos this year by doing month by month collages/LO's - so hoping to work on January 2012 this afternoon.

Off to the park now!

Our bubble boy....

I loved this photo Pete took of Joshie playing with his bubble machine on the trampoline. The Kaiser papers fitted perfectly............. I need to do more layouts of Josh and his antics.

Another off the page: Photo Frame 

This was made for one of my closest friends...I love it so much i really need to make a similar one for myself. This was using Kaiser Sweet Nothings range, Kaiser bling and a gorgeous Manor House flower. I loved the photos I took of her kids so much and knew she would love it too. Love the Collectibles that come in the Sweet Nothings range...

Kaisercraft storage box for my Mum

I made this for my Mum for her birthday last month. The hardest part is always the painting and prep before hand. I used Stampin Up papers for this and then lots of Kaiser embellishments, doilly, chipboard heart, flowers, rub on and rhinestones. Websters flower, Prima stone and a misc paper doilly as well.

Mum is now using it to store the cards she has made - she makes them ages in advance so has lots!

1st Published Layout

I was so excited when I got home from Christmas shopping to find a copy of the Masters edition of Scrapbook Memories had been posted to me..................... 

I was hopeful that it meant I had one of my layouts published from my entry into the Master competition.............and I was right!

The layout with hidden journaling that I did of a photo of my Nan and Grandpop was published...............thrilled!!

Some photos of the layout are below....a great day all round - Christmas shopping, relaxing hairdressers appointment and then the magazine ............................
