Long time no Blog!!!

It seems like I haven't blogged forever.......I hope you guys had a really awesome Christmas!!! Ours was really relaxing : ) I haven't scrapped for ages now and think I may be having withdrawals......

I just wanted to have a little bit of a boast about a couple of things....

Firstly I was picked to be this months featured member at The Boxx!! Jane sent me an AWESOME Box of Scraps Kit to play with....you'll see what I came up with in the next newsletter!! I was so thrilled to be a featured member at The Boxx.....it is the BEST online forum....the ladies are soooo supportive and lovely!

Secondly.....I got picked as one of the winners for November at Scrap the Boys for my "Super Spunk" lo...I was sooo happy to have been picked as a winner : )

Well thats my boasting session over and done with....hopefully I'll be back with a lo to share soon!

Love and Peace xox

STB......Just Dance!

Well last night I was supposed to be doing a million and one things in prep for Chrissy.......but....I scrapped instead : ) The Dancer or Prancer challenge at Scrap the Boys is perfect for these photos I took of Elijah last month.....whenever there isnt much to do and the weather is too hot to go outside....I pop the ipod on random and we.....Just Dance : ) Photos aren't the best as it's been so overcast the last week!

Gotta love layers......Hambly, Old Sassafrass (which I am OBSESSED with buying at the moment), Chip Chop Shop doily, good old corrugated cardboard & My Little Bit of Whimsy button.....

Echo Park alpha stickers, another Chip Chop Shop doily & a very cool Purple Pumpkin robot button.....

A very cool Fancy Pants rub-on.....

Thats alllllll Folks......Love and Peace xox

Tis the season to care : )

Heya guys!!

Well most of the time I blog about scrapping.....this is The Happy Scrappy Place after all.....but I just wanted to tell you guys about PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals)...now I know by now you've probably rolled your eyes and gone....Oh those CRAZY animal loving vegan nuts, why on earth would I wanna read about them......but animal welfare is an issue thats always close to my heart. We don't all have to be Hippy mung bean vegans who throw ourselves infront of whale harpoons........BUT we can do things like check out The PETA website every now and again  just so we can be more product aware(like did you know Lipton tea have been doing horrible tests on animals?)...and maybe sign a petition or two....EASY!

Thanks heaps for reading my rambling hehe

Love and Peace and Happiness xox

Mood Board Challenge : )

This fornight's challenge at the boxx was set by the always fab Jodie B : ) The challenge is to create a mood board! I LOVE mood boards.....they are so fun to put together...and basically you can do anything your heart desires.....and thats what I did : ) I added all sorts of "me" things, things I love, things that reference things I love, colours I love...well you get the picture....it's all about me hehe

I want to Send a shout out to some AWESOME girls at the Boxx....Mary B, Annette, Kim, Leanne J, Belinda, Noels & Tracey st J.....I used lots of scrummy bits and bobs from all the RAKS you've sent me!!! Yup I finally decided to actually use the raks...instead of having them sit in my "too special" to use box hehe

Anyhoo....Here's my Mood Board....Followed by a few close-ups....

And there ya have it : )

Love and Peace and Merryness xox





Kraft It Up - December Challenge

Since I've been stalking Kraft It Up for quite some time now.....I thought I really should actually do a challenge! The December challenge is to scrap a Christmas photo using non traditional Christmas colours and have knots on your LO......Sooooo I used one of my fave colour combos....yellow and teal.....Oh and I got a little 'ahem' spray happy with the glimmermist.....well it is a Chrissy lo.......needs that extra sparkle...right?

The title is "Our Family tradition is Decorationg the Tree Together"

I just gotta have lots of layers and height....and isn't that Hambly owl fab!

My knots are fabric that "ties" the banner to the lo.....

Thankyou very muchly for having a goosey goosey gander at my Blog : )

Love and Peace xox

The Color Room # 35....Yeah Baby!

The Color Room palettes have been sooooo rocking the last couple of weeks! I couldn't resist this weeks awesome palette...again....So here's the yummdiddlyumptious palette...

And here's my take on it.....It's a photo of Elijah sitting at the top of the slide daydreaming....he tends to do this alot.....even when there is a line of impatient kids behind him waiting for thier turn hehe

A Bo-Bunny chip sticker frame, Shagpile black & white button & Lil Red Rocket red button....

Awesome The Chip Chop Shop bubbly chippy and Fab Flower trim from a Polka Dot Place kit....

An lubby Jubbly Hambly birdy rub-on...the AWESOME brick wall transparency is Hambly goodness too....

Thanks for having a peeky boo at my blog : ) Love and Peace xox

2nd Post for today! Get Picky Challenge!

Well I couldn't help myself....I finished another challenge and I just have to post it hehe...This LO is for the Inspiration Challenge #2 at Get Picky.....You have to create a lo based on this pic...

Sooooo I dug into my AWESOME My2Angels stash (couldn't help myself)...and this is what I came up with.....

I used October Afternoon - Flying a Kite, Seaside & Farm Fresh pp's, Kraft cs, Echo Park - Everbody Loves Christmas alphas & AC Thickers.....

The buttons are Scenic Route Chippies which I embossed with Ranger Embossing Puffs...

I made a little Kite from pp which I "drew" on with Kindy Glitz, added some twine and tied some ric-rac to the twine.....I misted over some cool Scrapware cloud chippies & stuck them to my lo : )

Thanks for having a gander at my blog....Love and Peace xox
