Just to let you know!!

Hiys Guys : )

I just want to let you know I have stepped down from the Stuff 2 Scrap and Punky Scraps design teams.....this was not a decision made lightly as I LOVE both of these teams!

Annmarie & Warren from stuff 2 scrap have been so good to me!!! I THOROUGHLY enjoy using their chippy's and will continue to do so......especially on my canvases, please go on over to their shop and have a gander at all their awesome chippy designs!!!

Punky scraps is such an awesome challenge blog. Everyone has a chance to scrap how they want to, all styles are celebrated and it's not about perfection....it's about having fun and getting messy : ) I will continue to do their challenges when I get a chance!!!

Also I am having a break from my2angels.....but will be back and scrapping in a month or so!!!

I just need some time to get my wee little business up and running.....I am missing scrapping and having withdrawals......so HOPEFULLY will actually have some time to sit down and scrap in the not to distant future.

I am still loyally stalking everyone's blogs.....so you most definitely haven't gotten rid of me MWHAHAHAHA!!!!

Also if anyone is interested I am taking custom mixed media canvas orders....just drop me a line!

Thanks so much for visiting my blog.....I appreciate it like ya wouldn't believe!!!

Love and Peace xox

Happy Days - Literally : )

Hidely Hodely Blogeroonis : )

I have a mini album to share with you today!! I've been promising my mum a brag book for agggggges.....and I have FINALLY got around to it. I think I was just waiting for the perfect paper range to come along!

The Echo Park - Happy Days just screamed out "Elijah" to me! It's fun, funky, happy and a little bit quirky....just like him : )

I got a SUPER cheap chippy album from kmart (about 3 bucks I think) and used mod podge to glue the pages onto it.....I then sanded around the edges with a nail file to remove overhanging paper & give it a cool look. I then used my Paint Dabber - Snow Cap White to go around the edges of the book pages and papers....love the affect it has!

To cover up the metal rings I tied  all different coloured ric-rac, my2angels design ribbon & some charms on them....pretty funky I think...

All the alphas I've used in this book are from the Echo Park - Happy Days Alpha Cardstock Stickers sheet or Thickers

A bit of ric-rac stitched to the photos adds fab texture but not bulk!

A bit of Hambly - Woodgrain Transparency used as a photo mat. I've doodled heaps to give a funkiness and to also create uniformity throughout the book!

Stitching around all of the photos gives texture!

The Echo Park - Happy Days range has so many awesome bits and bobs to cut out and stick on!

I matted the photo on a Ranger Manilla Tag, cut it to shape, stitched it then punched a hole in it! 

I have coloured all tags in the album with the AWESOME Distress Stains.....can't get enough of these babies...they have a bazillion and one uses!!

Throughout the book I have also put little "notes" about Elijah on Journalling Cards which I mod podged to Echo Park Card Stock 

And there you have it...one brag book for Grammy!!!

Well Elo Elo Elo There!!!

First up I have some exciting news......I FINALLY GOT PUBLISHED!!!! I was so thrilled to find out a lo I did over a year ago is in the latest Scrapbooking Memories!! It's funny looking at it cos I have evolved in my style so much lol Oh and they put it in the spooks and ghouls section which is hilarious cos I really dislike anything Halloween related LOL But beggars can't be choosers.....sooooooo I am extremely grateful : )

Well I have been scrapping up a storm now I have a new computer : ) Well after a minor hiccup where I loaded some corrupt software (sounds like it's in the mafia or something LOL) and had to reload the whole operating system again......It's now back to business!!

I have sooooooo enjoyed being able to look at and comment on other peoples blogs lately....I REALLY missed it!
