Cocoa Daisy “Twelvie Selfie”

The January Cocoa Daisy kits are up and selling fast.
Because of the Christmas mail I didn’t get mine till late last week.
But I got stuck in and this is the first page I created.

The best thing about getting the kit after Christmas was that I could use some Christmas snaps.

Which is what I did here.

Capturing a moment that will be looked back on in years to come.

Because it’s not everyday that you’re twelve.

And it’s not everyday that you take a bunch of selfies…
Oh, hang on that’s not quite true!
It probably is an everyday occurrence!!

You Are Beautiful No Matter What They Say

There are some things I think that are important to say
and some things that I think are important to remember
and some thing that I think are important to scrap
this page is important

it was also fun to make

Crate pattern paper and a Crafter’s Workshop stencil always make me smile

lots of lettering and adding a cute Amy Tangerine camera make me smile

and this heart, that I made, makes me smile too
A while back I received a prize pack from the amazing Louise Nelson 
In the pack was a gorgeous tissue covered in music print and love hearts
I cut out one of them, glued it onto some corrugated cardboard
Stitched around the heart
Cut it out
Added some dimensional glue
and ran a black sharpie pen around the outside

happy that something important has been said/remembered/scrapped!

I Wanna Live Like We Live In The Summer

Spied a colour challenge on the Crate blog
The gorgeous Tara Anderson has some amazing examples
and here is my take

used some scraps, yes I keep them this small

misted an alpha mask
Used white Studio Calico “Mr Huey” and Candy apple glimmer mist 
to give a soft pink

some raspberry coloured thickers

and a little layering with Crate stickers and rubons

Yay for summer time!

Simple And True

The final challenge has been set for Aussie Scrap Source’s Style Lounge challenge
This week is Detailed Layers
I pulled out a couple of sheets of Crate that I had been drooling over and got busy creating

cut up the accent cuts paper

pulled apart some basic grey and sassafras lass layered flowers and re-layered them

wrote what I needed to say

added some paint and punched a paper strip with a Martha Stewart punch

yesterday my first Cocoa Daisy kit arrived
And the timing was good
because
This morning we had another trip to the airport
Dave is on his way to Thailand for work
which means once the girls have finished watching Funniest Home Videos
I am going to make a coffee and scrap some of the night away
