Hello & Happy Easter!

Hello to any of my followers who may still be following this super slack blogger! I hope you are all enjoying your Easter weekend.
I've put the final touches to layouts that I created at retreat...hmm last month, or maybe the month before??? Haha I'm seriously losing track of time lately.

I kept this one super clean & simple to show of the use of the Heidi Swapp Minc machine. Sadly the shimmer doesn't really photograph well, but believe me...it's gorgeous ;) this was the light pink foil.


Here's a sneak to try & highlight the shimmer...love it!


This next one is using the gorgeous 7 Dots Studio papers, with the story behind a dear little rescue kitty.



Again with this final one, I've kept super clean & simple. Haha something different for me without using mists, stencils or stamps ;) I adore these papers from Websters Pages, 'Begin Anew' range.



Thanks for stopping by...your support is very much appreciated :)
Happy scrapping!

March & hello Autumn!

March! Wow...where did February go??? I'd love to slow things down a bit...someone press the 'pause' button please ;) The great thing of a new month...is new challenges & I do adore the challenges over at Kraft+, though I have to confess this one was the toughest one so far for me.


Here's my take on the sketch & houndstooth...


You must go & check out the amazing layouts from the rest of the team...you'll find them HERE
Have fun with this challenge...I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with :)
Thank you for stopping by. As always, a huge, huge thank you for your lovely comments. I do appreciate them, especially the time you take to leave me one x
Happy scrapping!

Yikes! Super slack blogger!!!

Gosh, how embarrassing...to come on here only to discover that I've not yet posted my layout from last month's challenge! Haha I know things have been a little crazy, but that is terrible :(
I've just visited all the participants for the Kraft+ 'postal' challenge & they were all amazing...here is my very belated sharing of my take on this fabulous layout.


It was a little scary how many old stamps I found, yes I kept all my old stamps from stamp collecting days. Haha it's seriously scary how much stuff I keep! It may explain why I feel so weighed down...I'm really struggling to find 'balance' at the moment. 2016 was going to be my year to create a more balanced life, but it's already March & life seems more chaotic than ever.
