"My Stars"

 Loved that MME paper .. such fun and just had to add just a couple things and was all done..

 and some of my all time favourites... ScrapMatts Ornaments and Floral sprays, a Rainbow Splendour christmas wheel and then the super cute A Piece of Cake Designs flair button.. YUMMO..

and then I found this half started background.. and had a play.. covered it with stuff..and added well... more stuff... and wallah.....

"That Smile"

HI.... welcome and  a great big fat.. SORRY for not being around....

but i have a share...

this is for SHOW US YOUR STUFF.. woot woot..

Here is the February Prompt...

YES I know its half over but hey.. why not give it a go!!!!

and for me.. i just go the create out of it.... and nothing is better than creating with friends....

"One Little Word CREATE"

Yes I definitely had a play with this one.. the background misting was for an old layout that I had started and obviously hadn't worked... so I left it and rediscovered it the other day.. so here you go!!

and YEP I took the handwritten type feel out of it and created a title with a little help from a Flair button from A Piece of Cake Designs.. one word.. YUM!!!

 and I also added a couple of my favourite brands... including layering a couple of ScrapMatts butterflies.. just kept them raw baby!!...

 and not forgetting the felt zig zag from Rainbow Splendour.... :D

so PLEASE please head on over to Show Us Your Stuff and have a go.. check out the amazing design teams take on the challenge.. I LOVE love that everyone has taken the same thing and interpreted it in so so so many ways its awesome..
thanks for stopping by and sharing some LOVE...
hugs to you all.. happy days...

happy days...

MWAH...

just coz i can... its just me..

NON scrappy related post coming up..
so my original thought was to make this a venting post..coz i really was.. not annoyed, not frustrated, not angry but lost.. i think  lost is maybe the best words to use.. so instead i turned to Pinterest to find a quote to sum up how i was feeling and then.. WHAM bam thank you Ma'am.. it hit me ... this.. quote.....

 

and well YES...so the joys... well for one.. coming home tonight i had to drive lj and for some reason she knows exactly what to do or say or just be to make me laugh an laugh... and it kinda fixed everything.. so for tonight i'm going to sign off thinking of laughter.. and the amazing power to fix everything...

Love you all....

MIA..................................

{a bit of what i've been doing.. i'll be back to do a full share and story..but thanks Renee Iveson}


well first up HOLY CRAP..
it has been honestly forever since i was here.. and yes that means was at yours as well.....
i have been doing some creative play and have been posting them in Scrapmatts, Show Us Your Stuff, Lil Red Rocket and Rainbow splendour however i for some stupidly strange reason i havent been getting in here.. there has been so much happening lately.. some of them scrappy some of them kids and some of them messing with my head...
but hey .. its life isnt it...

the good the bad and the ugly.......
i feel as if i have most definitely been experiencing all of them ...

sick kids... sick me... sick kids.. moody kids... end of term kids... sick kids... holidays...
through into the mix me getting out a bit more..and YEP i've gone to the dark side and entered the world of online dating.... and YEP its been a mixed  bag... and YEP i am being picky.. have met a couple of guys... have NOT seen a couple of guys again..have apparently made a good well super fantastic impression of one guy and now he wont leave me alone.. yep i know the stalker is being stalked..luckily in a non threatening way..but in a HOLY CRAP how many times do i have to say i'm not interested kind of way...... lol.. and then i met someone.. everything was going well for a month or so..and then it turned out he was a complete waste of time.. what a moron.. and no i'm not being nice..... so then.... i thought hey.. i'm going to talk to the ones who want to talk to me.. and see where it goes.. go in with no expectations.. so ..... we will see what happens.. no doubt i'll be back with an update..... or ten.. there has surely got to be some half decent men out there..... please.... {well fingers crossed... but i'm going to have some fun}.... lol.

and then the scrapping..
whilst as previously mentioned i HUMBLY and most definitely SINCERELY apologize for my lack of responsibity to those who have invested in me.. i am now going to pull my finger out..well as soon as school goes back.. my kid free days are going to get back on track and be my making days.. coz i honestly do miss them.....

 so there you have it.. i'm going to be back with bells on.. so watch out.. LOL>. i am even going to start pulling my finger out and taking photos with my camera not just my phone.. hehehe.. i've missed a few months of my kids so i owe them that.......

until i return.. i hope everyone is well.... and you all know i'm on facebook..well a facebook-a-holic you could say.. if i'm not friends please add me..... i love friends....

happy days to you all... love you .....

Show Us Your Stuff and 123.....

hi .. i have a couple today... first up..... is the 123 Challenge.....
and the brief....
Word = MY
Colour = PURPLE
Technique = CHEVRON
and here is  my take on the challenge.. {please excuse dodgy pic.. horrible weather.. i'm sure you understand}
"My Child"

love these photos.. YUP from my phone... Ivy being well IVY..... playing in paint and just being crazy.. and YEP i do think she gets some of that from me.. {poor child}

 i had to search my stash for purple..and i have only 1 sheet of purple pp and alas it just wasnt going to work..so instead i created my background with Texture paste and my Chevron  Crafters Workshop Template.... and then just added some purple embellies.. like the Leeann Pearce Bird pin....

 and some Rainbow Splendour pinwheel and felt die square... {i glimmermisted it purple ... } and added a Lil Red Rocket button to the pinwheel for more PURPLE....

and a closie of the photos.. see told you she is crazy...

and then its that time for a new example from SHOW US YOUR STUFF.. 

now you may or may not know that we are only doing one challenge per month now so this one

has been going for a little while..but us DT peeps are staggering the examples just to keep your 

brain working.....

and here is the inspiration for this month......

and here is what i got.. i LOVED the newsprint background..so i created on..and then the circles of 

course.....

"Time To Learn Letters"

 whoops.. just realized its another Ivy pic.. but oh well.. promise my next one may or may not be IVY..lol.
i really kind of like how this turned out..even with a gazillion {or what feels like a gazillion} flowers ......

 see the background.... i love creating this type of stuff.. so MUCH fun.. oh and also some watercolour paints .. lovin them as well.....

 and a cluster of... well.. stuff... some D-Lish flowers, a Manor House HUGE flower.. and of course some Scrapmatts Leaves and clock and Lil Red ROcket. buttons and cute little girl spot....

 and then some more funky clusters... Rainbow Splendour  flower pin and a pinwheel.. and scrapmatts leaves and of course the button and felt flower from lil red rocket...

 and lastly the photo... taken while watching Ivy practice writing her letters... she is getting there... and loves to learn so that i think is a blessing.. anyho.. dont forget to head on over to Show Us Your Stuff and have a go.....
happy days.
enjoy..
and please dont forget to leave some love....
