Pink Paislee Declaration

Pink Paislee have released a new range called Declaration and as part of the release they have put together a projects booklet, with step by step instructions, for a stack of gorgeous projects using Declaration.  What I love is that although this range is aimed at Independence Day in the US with it's bold red, white and blue colour scheme - it works perfectly for a range of topics!  You can access the booklet online here.

This is my project from the book - full instructions are available when you download it ...

Went scrapping on the weekend - had a great weekend but only DT projects worked on so nothing to share at the moment.

Bella Blvd newsletter available

an update

So back when I started this blog I use to blog a lot about what was generally going on in my life. Over time, as I got more and more involved in scrapbooking, it changed into a blog focused on scrapbooking.  I thought I would give a little bit of an update about what's been going on in my life (if you are solely here for scrapping, this might be where you leave - lol!).

In April we went to Europe - London, Paris and Rome.  It was a wonderful holiday where we got to celebrate my little sister's wedding and Gary and I got some romantic couple time (thanks Mum and Dad!).   Before we left I got myself a new camera - a Nikon D800.  It is amazing - I love it to bits and it performed A+++ during the trip.  I am in the process of plowing through hundreds of photos at the moment and will be working on a project for Aussie Scrap Source with them this weekend.

Benson is now in grade 2 and having just had a parent teacher interview, I am happy to say that he is doing really well across the board.  He is also achieving really well in swimming at the moment.  His Coeliacs is 100% under control and he is growing like a weed.

We had some photos taken with Janine Kaye before she left to move to Perth (sob) and I loved them (as always) ...

Gary and I both are continuing to eat well and exercise hard.  I passed my 50kg goal and was heading down even further until the trip to Europe slowed things a bit.  A little heath issue since coming back saw me regain a couple of kgs, but I am hovering around the 50kgs lost at the moment and now working towards 60kgs loss, which is my next goal.

I am still scrapbooking up a storm - though mainly DT and magazine work.  I am off to a retreat this weekend, so you just never know what I might get up to while I am away!

Well that is it for now!

Bella shares

I thought I would share a couple of recent layouts that I have done for Bella Blvd today.  I absolutely love Bella Blvd products - the colours, designs and embellishments are all so fun!

This layout was done as part of a sketch challenge.  I have never done a layout with hexagons before and I loved it.

How cute is the chipboard bunny on the next layout?  It was an easter embellishment, but was just perfect for a layout on bunny chasing at our local park ... lots of wild bunnies running around everywhere.  Luckily they are always MUCH faster than Benson!

I promised!

I met a lot of lovely people at the Scrapbooking Convention in Brisbane over the long weekend and so many of them asked me when I was going to update my blog.  I thought everyone had stopped checking since it had been SO long since I updated, but apparently not!  I promised that I would do an update, and I am going to try and be more diligent about continuing to do so.

Hello to all of the lovely ladies that I met in Brisbane, and thanks to everyone that did my classes.  If anyone is interested, I have a few kits left from my classes.  They each have at least $50 retail value of content and full instructions for 2 layouts in them.  There is enough in the kits to do at least 2 more layouts.  Kits are $45 including postage.  If you are attending the Long Point scrap retreat, I can bring them along with me to save you postage and they will be $40.  Here is a photo of the main layout from each kit:

Indigo Bleu kit

Victoria Park kit:

Please just pop me an email if you are interested in either (or both) of the kits.  First in best dressed!

More posts to come soon!
