Morning all.....

over at 

Get Creative 

we have a gorgeous sketch for you....

designed by

Melenia

this is my interpretation......

the die cuts are from my fabulous 

Silhouette Cameo

(cant get enough of this machine)

and the little flowers and hearts are from 

THE SHOP

so if you have time make sure you play with the sketch!!

I couldnt keep my promise!.....

I know I promised that I would be back soon....

and that I would fill up my ETSY shop with some cuteness

but

a life ended suddenly and we are all reeling from the shock

and the loss is more now that the funeral is over...

I ask myself one question every day

Why was such a young life taken?

I do not get any answers and I probably never will....

thus my disappearance again!

I do have some layouts to show you

I will start with one for

 BIRD IS THE WORD

this weeks word is

CREATE

I found this super cute photo (a little blurry) 

of Christian and thought I have to scrap this!

So here is my design team layout

Create-ing

(no it is not a spelling mistake)

I purposely wanted to use my fabulous Studio Calico "create"stamp

so I just added the ING

supplies used

K&Company blue pattern paper

white cardstock

Tim Holtz masks

Cameo die cuts (zipper camera and wavy film strip)

Sassafralass stickers

Dylusions mists

American Crafts thickers

Create stamp Studio Calico

modelling paste

some close ups

See you soon with some

Get Creative 

Near on a month's

absence

from this blog!...

yet again I have negelected this little ol blog of mine

once again due to family issues

you cannot say I am not consistent LOL

Anyway here is my 

Bird Is The Word

layout for the 

Breathe

challenge

(thank you Wendy for your patience)

the barabed wire frame and chevron patterns are masks I made with my new little baby

my CAMEO.....up till now I have never owned a die cutting machine

and I had been drooling over Marie Papadopoulos cards which she had made with the Cameo

and when Studio Calico had a offer on the machine I snapped it up

(gift from my mum)

the chevron stirps are also from the cameo

I am in love with this machine it has so many possibilities

So I played with gesso to give some texture

and played with my Dylusions

some close up!

the design create art stamp is from Studio Calico

Breathe was cut with my cameo!!

Hope to be back soon!!

Corniest title ever!!........

A smile for every season!

could I be any cornier????

what am I talking about?

well the word for this forthnight

over at 

Bird Is The Word

 is 

SPRING/SUMMER/WINTER/FALL

and I decided to use all the words

you can shoose one or use all like I did

head on over to be inspired by the rest of the design team!

I enjoyed playing with this one

I used embellishments to tell the story of the seasons

 behind the black and white photo of C3

thus the corny title LOL LOL LOL

so here is the layout

and here are some close ups

flowers are handmade by me....

more handmade goodies....

Get Creative

just to remind you

firstly because 

Get Creative turned

 2

and secondly

to celebrate world card making day

which is celbrated the 1st Saturday of October

so my challenge for you today 

is to create a card

using this sketch

I made two examples

the winner of my challenge will win some 

floral embellishments from

Get Creative Embellishments

so head on over to 

Get Creative

and check out the previous challenges

the challenges will be running until the 29th of October

so you have plenty of time to enter

the winners of the challenges will be announced on the 30th of October...

Music......

Our two kids are crazy about music

they love all types of music

they have a classical background and 

they need to have music on all the time

as they mature their tastes in music change too

the eldest  (I am sure I am going  to get this wrong)

so I will say she listens to Heavy Metal subgenres

which has also influenced the youngest

and this is their "thing"

brother and sister time

I never judge what they listen to...

my only problem is they crank up the volume to avoid hearing

my sweet voice!!!!!!!

I was told on the weekend I am a nag

I can tell you that shut me up for all of one minute 

I reflected on their words and then 

 I nagged 

to ask why they think this 

hahahahaha 

soooo......

this weeks word

at 

BIRD IS THE WORD

is none other than

MUSIC...

and here is my take on the challenge

make sure you head on over to the blog
