A little bit of this and that!

Create....

Another page for my Inspire Lovely album. Yes my favourite colour is Pink :)
The back ground paper is actually a manilla file folder that I cut down to make the page and put holes along the edge using my Bind It All ( I love manilla file folders and cut them down to journal on and print elements onto ) It's a bit hard to see on the scan but behind the frame is Making Memories Ledger paper. The transparency frame I printed out on Vellum.. loving it!! Used happy tape again to tape down my pics. Added some more happy tape up the top and some stitching.

Having fun creating again. Doing an online class with the gorgeous and extremely talented Debee Ruiz ♥

Having so much fun learning new techniques with this class. I am so far behind but not stressing about it at all. The album measures 7.5 x 5.5 " This is the chipboard cover. Covered it in paper and gesso over the top, water colour around the edges. Then having fun creating with spray paint which is the white/black streaks and dots you can see on the page. Sanded a photo and journalled on it. The photo frame is Happy Tape that I found on Etsy. "Inspire" and element provided with the class. Then went crazy with my sewing machine and stitched all over the page.

Ok yes yes I know.. I have been slack AGAIN!! in keeping my posts up on here. Seriously I hate how life gets in the way lol!!

Ok so I haven't created in a really long time. Hoping this will help inspire me. So I took a hardcover book that I found at the Second Hand Bookstore. Glued every 2nd page together and gessoed the pages. Covered the front and back covers and bound the spine with 7 gypsies gaffer tape. Can not wait to fill the pages. 

Pic are a little blurry straight outta my Iphone

Take 1 hard cover book that you find at the Bookstore :)

Stuck every 2nd page together and then gesso the rest of the pages.

Love Elsie Papers for the covers and 7 gypsies gaffer tape for the spine

Music is Life - the album will be full of music inspiration. From the musicals, concerts etc that I have been too :)

   

Bit hard to read but the LHS page has the quote " Music Washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life" - Berthold Auerback

RHS reads - They say that music is life. A truer word has never been spoken. I have had a love of music from a very early age. From singing into my hairbrush to kranking out a tune on Karoke. Join me on a journey through the music and musicals that I love.

Holidays....

We have just spent the last week on the sunny Gold Coast. 

Had an awesome time catching up with my gorgeous friend Sim and her beautiful family. Have missed you guys soooo much. 

Also managed to fit in Wet n Wild and Movie World. 

The weather was gorgeous and one day was 27 degrees! 

Now reality has set in and we are back home and back to the grind... and temps of 12 degrees!

 

Lest We Forget....

They shall not grow old,
As we who are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them
Nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
And in the morning,
We will remember them.

Lest We Forget

Camp Quality ....

I have just spent the last week at Broken Bay attending Main Camp for Camp Quality.

Had an amazing 5 days. Was great to catch up with those that I hadn't seen in such a long time and to make some new friends too.

Lots of activities including Rock Climbing, High Ropes, Archery, Dodgeball, Damper making, Volleyball and heaps of others. There was our traditional Fancy Dress night and this years theme was "Giggles Island" so there were lots of Hula Girls, Pirates and of course Spongebob Squarepants.

Here is just a snippet of the week.

Etsy Love....

Here are a few of my favourite shops. 

• The Sequined Shoe

Just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Easter!! ♥

Create....

Well it is good to be back. Thanks for sticking here with me.

Just wanted to share a little creation that I have been working on for ages. Was doing a little bit here and there but finally pulled it out and finished it. Felt so good to create again. I have missed it so much.

Star Wars Album about our visit to the Star Wars Exhibition at the Powerhouse Museum last year. The boys absolutely loved it! Star Wars is a big favourite in our household.

The album is from Scrapping Clearly and papers are Basic Grey. Lots of fun stuff with this album.
