To Scrap or not to scrap ?

2012-01-15T16:55:00.005+11:00

This was the first scrap page I have done in months... I have to say that whilst I enjoyed doing it I didnt love it ! , but maybe that will come back in time. This picture is of Miss Moo and her besties from their yr 6 farewell dance/dinner......the group is otherwise known as the "secret six". These beautiful girls go onto to highschool this year and my only hope for them is that they remain such close beautiful friends. They are all such wonderful girls with very different personalities, perhaps this is why they compliments each other so well. Good luck this year girls and stay as beautiful as you are now. XX

Happy New Year 2012

2012-01-14T18:40:00.003+11:00

Hi Everyone, well its sure been awhile since i uploaded onto this blog. Last year I had the unfortunate experience of having some horrible experiences which left me not wanting to scrap, blog or share anything within my creative world. So I took some time out to try and truly decide what I want to do within this creative mind that I am trapped in, I have not yet come to any decision that will push me forward into any 1 given area...arrggggh it seems that I will forever just create with no direction LOL. I have ventured back into my scraproom and thought I would pick up the paper and see how I feel about the world I left so long ago, Although I don"t feel the same about it as I did, I was happy just to create...something!! So this year I have decided to have no pressure and just create, so I wont be able to tell you what you will see on here, just that you will see.......something! I do however have some very exciting news to start my creative year, I do know that I will be creating some scrapping layouts as my inspiring scrapbook mentor Tiff Sawyer has started a challenge site that will have you inspired by the most AMAZINGLY talented scrapbookers I have seen, and she asked me to be apart of her creative team. I feel very blessed that she would include me in such an amazing journey that she has started, and I look forward to creating for her. For a look at this fabulous new challenge site head over to This Ones A Winner the layouts full of inspiration will take your breath away. I look forward to this year being full of fun, love, laughter and creativity...with great and true family and friends by my side. Happy New Year for 2012.

What do i love most about them??......EVERYTHING goes together !!! no matter if you are new or old to the scrapbooking world these kits are designed and created so that any Layout you create looks fabulous! I had the best night with these girls, they are all fun, friendly and happy to have a chat ( and a great laugh).

March 2011

2011-03-06T21:42:00.003+11:00

Scrapbooking has taken a back seat this month, with 2 weddings, # birthday parties and multi birthdays, sporting commitments and trying to build a new website to start my own little business it has been kind of hectic. I didnt seem to get as much done as I would have liked, lots of my scraping challenges went on the way side, But lets see if that can change for the month of March..this month will see alot of life style challenges start but it will be all about adjusting and balancing everything to fit in, and making sure it is all prioritised in the correct order. \

MY first page for the month of March is a colourful one that was n't created for any challenge, I just wanted to scrap the colours. :)
