Glitz & Glamour

Here we are with the birthday girl. I have used plain black cardstock with a little of the Kaisercraft le chateau Lustre & Cle & lavender cardstock to tie in with the invitation and some wide black lace. I used the cricut to cut out the Chandelier, then I added black & silver bling. Plus the new family stamps that I embossed with silver and some flowers in the corner.

Pip's 21st

This is my niece Pip. The 1st photo is a close up of stamping with silver embossing powder, then with a chip board word (21st Birthday) painted black, I then have stamped and embossed on it. It doesn't standout a lot, but it is sort of what I wanted. I have used the Kaisercraft Le Chateau range. I have embossed the wooden keys with silver, I was after the rustic effect, which I got. I had a plain black buckle that I added some lavender bling and treaded the wide black lace through it. The invitation has black lace on it, which I will include on the next LO.

As the Star Shone!

I really love this LO, very simple, and I didn't go to a lot of trouble. The base paper is Mulberry with tiny silver swirls. I then used glitter paper and the cricut and cut out the moon, stars, chandelier & frame for the journaling. Then out of silver & black cardstock I cut out the lamp post. Finished it of with 2 bling swirls. (not sure why its underlined, and I don't know how to get rid of it)

Here comes the Beautiful Bride!!!

Bridget looked just like a beautiful Greek Goddess, her flowing dress with just the right amount of bling, and with the ocean rolling in, in the back gound it was such a lovely sight, sound, and luckily the rain had stopped for her grand entrance.

Family @ Wategos Beach 6\2\10

Here we are all glamed up ready for the wedding. Wategos Beach Byron Bay, what a beautiful place. I have use Kaisercraft paper, flowers, pearls and the Invitations as embellisment.

Heat Gun

I forgot to mention that last Saturday among the products that I bought, I purchased my very own heat gun, and I used it lots on the Ocnce Upon a Time LO. And I am so please with the results. The heat gun has been on my shopping list for some years now, so look out for lots of LO with embossing powder, I only have silver, clear and a bright blue, not sure why I bought that colour, but I bought it some years ago, so thats my excuse anyway.

Once upon a time

I can't take any credit for this LO, firstly it was created by Rachelle Minett, secondly it was found by my good friend, but I did create the 2nd page with what was left over from the kit. Yesterday I had 3.5 scrapbooking friends around for a day of scrapbooking, eating, chatting and laughing. My friend that found this LO & I worked on our own, 2 of the others worked on other LOs and the .5, well didn't do any actual scrapbooking, but did put a lot of photos from 2 resent holidays into a album. Which was a great start for someone that never really took many photos, till we nagged her enough, and she has seen how rewarding it is to capture wonderful memories to keep. The main photo on this LO is of my DS, it has always been one of my favourited photos of him, and as it was taken in 1989 it was lovely to remember what a sweet little boy that he was. But my love of taking photos must be rubbing off a little, as he had gone away camping at the weekend, then while I was doing this LO I recieved a msg with a photo of a beautiful sunset that he had taken, it was so nice to know that he was thinking of me while away and remembered how much I love sunset.

A surprise in my Garden!!!!

For about 4 winters I have spotted a dear little bird with a Red Breast, as hard as I have tried I haven't managed to get a photo, till today YEH! I was so excited that I put my breakfast on hold, much to DD dismay as I crept about the kitchen table then out the back door and crept around to the front to see if I could get a better picture, still didn't get a perfect picture, but I am really happy with most of the ones I did get. Mother Nature just got to love it!!!!

My Beach Babe & Beach Bum

More of the Kaisercraft Pina Colada, lots of tearing, sewing, cutting out and lining up journaling to print on tags.
