Cute as a Button

Hi There,

So excited to share this layout with you

using Shimmerz Paints and one of my

favourite Simple Stories Collections

Summer Fresh.

How cute is this!!  

And my little man Lucas!

The Shimmerz Products I used are:

Shimmerz AcriTonez - In The Navy

Shimmerz Creameez - Witches Blue

Shimmerz Aqua Huez - 1 Brick Short & Pot-O-Gold

Here are some close-ups:

I made the background look like clouds.

In the video tutorial, I show you how you can 

stamp using the new Shimmerz AcriTonez paints.

The results were amazing and really defined.

Sweet Boy - Clique Kits - February 2017 Kit - BEE You

Hi There,

Today I am sharing my last layout as a

guest designer for Clique Kits.

I have had a ball!!

I received my February Kit - BEE You 

on Friday and I just had to make something

with it straight away.

I know it is full of butterflies (my favourite)

but I wanted to show you it can be used

for little boys too!

I just love that arrow paper by 

American Crafts - One Canoe Two - Hazelwood Collection.

Here are some close-ups:

I used the Gold Thickers and I die cut

the word "BOY" out of the corrugated paper.

I incorporated the cork embellishments.

Here is what the kit looks like:

The kit is still available HERE.

Guitar Man

Hey There,

I hope your weekend is treating you well.

I'm here to share another layout I created

just for me, and no other reason.

Oh, I do love this collection from

Bella Boulevard - Alex Collection.

It was the perfect collection for this photo of

my youngest boy Lucas.

Here are some close-ups:

I used a stencil and the 

Shimmerz Paste-eez -  Hold the Mustard.

I cut strips to create my own funky background.

I added some paint by using 

Shimmerz - AcriTonez - Shimmerz Tar, Tar.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

And remember if you put in a Shimmerz

order, don't forget to mention my name in the comments!

Dream Big!

Hi There,

This weekend I had the opportunity to hang

out with some like minded creatives and

just scrapbook for fun.

This is one of the layouts I created

using the American Crafts,

Shimelle - Star Shine Collection.

I love this range!!

I did loads of fussy cutting on this layout.

I cut the clouds out of the patterned paper,

then I stuck it on some pink paper from the range 

and fussy cut again to get this layered look.

The hot air balloons are fussy cut from another 

piece of patterned paper in the collection.

I used a stencil and texture paste on the white backing

paper, with some Shimmerz for color.

Don't you love the sparkle Thickers!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

CSI: Case File 224 - Happy

Hey Friends,

Time for another Case File release over at

CSI: Color Stories Inspiration.

This time is is Case File 224.

And the colors are gorgeous!

My Evidence for this Case File is: Plain Cardstock, 

The Alphabet as a Design Element, Light Bulb,

Scissors and Triangles.

My Testimony is typed around the outside of the

layout and was the February Prompt -

YOUR FREE TIME

What do you like to do in your Free Time?

When I get free time, I love to relax in a hot bubble bath,

with a good book and a glass of Sauvignon Blanc.

I also love to create.  My scrap room is my favourite

room in the house.

How would you feel if you didn't have this time?

I would have a feeling of being overwhelmed.

It is therapy for me to be able to create.

I try my best to make time.......

Here are some close-ups:

I used a triangle stencil to add that element to my evidence.

Using the alphabet was a great way to use up

some of those alpha's.

And yes, all the letters from the alphabet are there.

This is what the Case File looks like:

So head on over and give the challenge a try.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs & Kisses - Clique Kit February Sketch

Hey There Friends,

So excited to be a Guest Contributor 

for Clique Kits for February.

It was a dream of mine to be a Contributor

as I have been a subscriber for quite some time.

So to start my month off,

I am involved in the Sketch Challenge Reveal.

Here is my take on the sketch!

The moment I seen the Simple Stories - Love and Adore Collection

Sealed With a Kiss Patterned Paper,

from the January Kit - Hey Sugar.

I knew I wanted to cut out those X's and O's and mount

them to fit the sketch.

Here are some close-ups:

I love the dimension and the clean lines

I got to create using the kit.

The "Hugs and Kisses" title is available

for sale in the Clique Kits, Digital Store.

Here is what the Sketch Looks Like!

So head on over to the Clique Kit Blog

and link your interpretation of the sketch

to WIN a Mommy Lhey Planner Kit!
