and the felt flower is also from Chloe at Rainbow Splendour..... and i just love these birdy pins [which reminds me that i need more].. from The Chip Chop Shop....

so anyho. thats me for today..

happy days everyone i know it is for me.. school went back today..LOL.

happy Easter and Scrapmatts day..

Gooooodddd Easter Morning to everyone.. well by the time you read this it would've been Easter probably a couple of days ago..but you know what I'm fine with that...

I really hope that everyone has enjoyed their day..right now I'm here all alone... but my sis is coming to pick me up and go visit my mum and dad for a little while and then the kids will be home this afternoon sometime.. so its ok.....

so Onto the scrapbooking..... this month at ScrapMatts we are celebrating all things women..

its all about those special girls and ladies in our lives or even give yourself a big pat on the back...

My first one is all about ME... yep i did it... all about me.....

"A Good Feeling"

I actually did this one at the Gillian Retreat so it's kind of a lift from her..she was sitting near me and was using these bunting type shapes for her background..thought I'd give it a go.....

some closies..
the side.. see the layers.. a good mix there.. even a felt fence from Rainbow Splendour... and the floral spray from scrapmatts...
and then the little cluster of goodness down the bottom..

Next up we have another from the retreat... I just had to use these series of photos.. they are just so gorgeous...

"The Best Day Ever"

I know its pretty simple but I really really like it.. I think its because its a mix of just a random background some special photos and then just a couple of extras.....

closies...
LOVE these new Stands from Scrapmatts teamed up with the microchips bird cage and little birdy..so cute....
and then another of the floral sprays.. YES it is one of my favourite scrapmatts products... love it..
and a random title..its was a case of one of those.. NO now what am I going to call it.... I must admit that I think that I even left it for a day without anything in the area where I'd put the journal spot..... yep.... I know..

And finally one I created the other day.. I have this maybe bad habit sometimes of just creating a background with NO idea what photo or what the page is even about and then I have to find a photo and then the embellishments to go with it... but sometimes it works a Treat....

"She"

Have a look at that colour combo.. must say I LIKE it alot.. so soft but with the splash of red to give it alittle bit of excitement.....

closies..
Used some of my favourite products.. Scrapmatts butterflies and some Lil Red Rocket.. how amazing is that heart button......
I used one of the window arches as a frame just to add something to the side of the page...
and then a cluster of flowers and chippies... the circle felt flower is also from Lil Red Rocket.....now just in case you are wondering how I did the effect on the chippies.. simple.. I used an Adirondack lights Acrylic paint Dabber..and simple just dabbed it randomly over the chippy.. i really like the aged type effect it made...

so ... thats it for today..

again I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Easter... may the chocolate be with you.... Happy days...
