My first shaker card

Hi Everyone,
I have made a card today, and I must say, its been
a long time and I was feeling quite rusty! I have always
wanted to have a go at a shaker card, I saw a tutorial
probably a year ago, but Im not sure where that was,
maybe splitcoast stampers or youtube.
and seeing as it is soon to be Easter, I thought I'd
dust off one of the stamps from last year's Easter collection.

Close up so you can see the 'shaker' contents...

Wedding Guest Book

Hi all,
Yes I am still out here, sometimes I can't even find myself  :)
Anyway, my Nephew got married on the weekend and he asked
me if I would be able to make a guest book for everyone to sign.
I had, what I felt was the perfect stamp for the cover, so I happily
agreed, even though I had less than a week to make it,
Thanks Reece! but I managed to pull it together and hand it to
them the day before the Wedding, holding my breathe, that they
would like it (lol) I filled the inside with pages where the guests
could not only sign their names but add comments to reflect their
favourite memories of the couple, how they have come to know
the couple, add any advice they would like to give and also
encouraged them to draw a little pic of themselves to make it a
special little keepsake. There were also verses and photo mats for
them to add their fave photos of the day.
I have only photographed the front cover today, as the inside
contained lots of personal information...

The photo doesn't capture all of the glitter, but that doesn't really
matter. I kept everything throughout the book Black, White and
Pink as these were there wedding colours.

My Wild Child

Hi everyone
I have been awol for a long time, so I thought it was time to get
back on the horse and try and get the creativity going again :o)

I have decided to do something a little different and have a go
at a Scrapbook challenge as I have mountains of photos laying
around just begging to be scrapped...so here we go...

I am entering a challenge at ScrapwithV this month they are
using this fabulous sketch as inspiration.

and Here is my take...

'Where the wild things are' was one of my favourite books as a
child and it was one of the first books that I added to my children's
collection. When I saw this 'Max' outfit hanging in the window at
our local Angus and Robertson store last year, I just had to snap
it up for my boy. He looks fabulous as Max and really fits the
character sometimes hahaha.

Magic Reindeer Food

Hi everyone,
I'm sure you've seen this before, I have seen it done on so
many blogs, that I can not just credit one person. This is
my take on "Magic Reindeer Food", I made some of these
last year as well, for my two children, and my 6 year
old is eager to get her hand on some more this year haha.

The verse on the back reads:

Santa's Magic Reindeer Food

(Make a wish and close your eyes tight)

Sprinkle on the lawn at night

the moon will make it sparkle bright

as Santa's reindeer fly and roam

this treat will guide them to your home.

To make the mix of food, I have used a mixture of rolled oats

and some bird seed with Green jelly crystals mixed in to act

as glitter, this way, birds can come and eat the mixture later

without causing them any harm.

I like to send my own personal Santa letter along with the

reindeer food, there are some amazing websites around that

offer free Santa letters, but I like to make mine that little bit

more personalised to fit the person I am sending them to.

I also send a copy of  Santa's official 'Naughty or Nice' Ranking

Certificate, which can be downloaded and printed for free from

http://www.emailsanta.com/ there are so many amzing things that you

can see and do on that website, you really should check it out

if you haven't already.

Finally I include the all important Candy cane and stamp up

the envelope to match. Can't wait to see their faces when they

go to the letterbox this arvo ;o)

Stamps       'Winter Post'  and  'Best Yet' from stampin up

Other          Paper and cardstock from my personal stash

                     Happy Holidays ribbon, cellophane, circle punch

                     Scallop punch, foam tape.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a very Merry

Christmas and wonderful New Year.

Advent Calendar

Hi everyone,
I found this Advent Calendar kit at my local scrapbook shop
and I just had to have a go. It was really easy to put together
and I had completed it within a couple hours, quick and easy,
just the way I like it :o)
I used the new Kaisercraft 'Tis the Season' Papers on this and
made it pretty much the same way that it was featured in the
latest Kaisercraft workshop magazine (I loved the papers too
much to change them), and I am thinking of adding a photo
of my children to the inside square next to the Santa.

Wow, I can't believe I made something without stamping!

Thanks for stopping by :o)
Happy Stamping!
