No computer..

Both our laptops died within the last 2 weeks :( Hope to be back online soon. The library doesn't seem to like me looking at blogs :(

Wicked Princess Kit

I love this kit. My 3rd page so far :) Splish Splash Kit.

Wicked Princess Layout Challenge

This was the 1st layout challenge that I actually enjoyed :) Even more exciting was that it was my 1st play on the sewing machine. I will definately be going back for more. The cute cosmo criket paper went well with what Cooper was wearing. http://www.wickedprincesses.com.au/wickedforum/viewtopic.php?f=86&t=2111

My Favourite Males

This one was just for fun and I loved all the colours :)

Another Wicked Princess Challenge :)

Princess Kate Challenge

You must have something felt/fabric

do not use the colour green

There should be a smile on your page

Buttons, buttons, buttons

A piece of string from here to there..

A little spotty or dotty

This is my page for it and I LOVE it :) My lil sis and I on a night out in Brisbane. 1st night out together since she turned 18.
I used chip chop shop doileys, Kaisercraft paper, Used the sewing machine for the border. For the 1st time I sewed the middle of some crepe paper and then pulled the thread to make this cute embellishment. Added a strap from a top of mine that had broken and some Heidi swap and Kaisercraft lettering.

Flowers

I saw these flowers somewhere a while back and I thought they would look great on some girly pages. So as my first tutorial I have taken step by step photos of me making one. Sorry I have done them in pale pink which isn't great on the white backdrop but I hope to put them in a page soon which will help show you have great they look :) I have used 5 flowers to make this flower.
Step 1:  I've left one flower whole and flat. I've used a kaiser flower, you could you almost any time of flower that folds easily.

Step 2: I have then folded it in half

Step 3: Then in half again

Step 4: I have done step 2 and 3 to another 3 flowers making this 4 folded flowers all up.

Step 5: I have then glued the 4 flowers onto the base flower and  there you have it, a cute flower. You could fluff it up as much as you want and really change the look of it depedning on what you put in the middle. I'm yet to decide what to use..

Get Picky

Loved this layout over at Get Picky http://getpicky.blogspot.com/2011/04/april-sketch-challenge-7.html
Robot paper with Birch. Some perks of this bright and cute paper are the pages glitter and embossing. The paper is thicker so it was great to distress. This photos are from last easter so It was good to finally use some older photos. I have hundreds that Id love to scrap before the end of the year.. These photos crack me up, he is so dramatic sometimes!! This was over him and some of his friends fighting over his bike. He LOVES his bikes!
My local scrap shop has a crop night tommorow night so Im looking forward to doing lots more pages :) I have no camera at the moment :( so I'll probably have to do another bulk blog later in the week.

Magic Challenge

Ove at 'Bird is the word' http://birdisthewordchallenge.blogspot.com/ they have a challenge where we have to use the word 'Magic' in our title. This is my page below using Kaisercraft papers and chipboard and flowers from 'My Vintage Blossom'. This is a bit of a simple one but I love the photo so much that I didn't feel right adding too much to it. Didn't want to take away from the photo.
