Hi there,

So the kids went back to school today term 1 done.... so I decided while waiting for washing to be done I decided on doing another challenge over at paper issues.using the beautiful collection from crate paper flourish .... I chose to do get messy I think it’s called that well anyway using mixed media on a project...I know mine looks clean not messy but I did add texture...I used ink ,paint and a stencil

I probably should have marked it out so more of the stenciled dots showed but it happens!

I have a process video at the bottom of my post so check it out..and don’t forget to pop on over and have a look at all the wonderful challenges 

here is my process video

Hi there,

Today I’m sharing another layout using the Down on the farm collection.

Their is always a teaching moment when you live on 12 acres of land so there is plenty of grass to be mowed my daughter Eve loves to drive the tractor around the paddock and slash the grass.

For the design of my layout I was thinking I needed to create a little farm scene
 on my page using the cute little tractor doodle pop.. so I started with my white cardstock as my base

I hope I’ve given you some inspiration today.

Hi there,

Today I’m sharing a layout with the new collection from prima Havana it’s a beautiful tropical floral collection 

With lots of pretty patterns, perfect for floral photos..

I started with a design in mind using the watercolor sticks and the stencil brushes and creating a dot pattern over the top of 2 stamped flowers that I wanted to add in 2 corners so the design would be diagonal across the layout and bringing in yellow and pink to add more colour to the background

Hi there,

I really enjoyed Easter this year we played video games and watched movies with the kids it was wonderful to have our oldest daughter mel home from Uni.... I decided that this year I would use this photo of eve our youngest daughter doing her first Easter hat parade in year 1.. it’s funny how they grow up so fast she is going to be 14 ...wow .... makes me feel old lol...

Well with my layout I decided on a bunny so I had to draw something cute so my idea with the bunny was to have its front paws in the air to hold a banner saying Easter but then I changed my mind because it looked a bit busy and I wanted to stitch around the word Easter so I cut the bunny out with my cameo just a silhouette of the bunny and then cut the rest to overlay like the eyes,paws,ears and tummy and glued them on and hand stitched around it

I backed my white cardstock on patterned paper then Using my stitch happy sewing machine i sewed around the border of my white cardstock then it all came together pretty easy with flowers and fussy cut flowers and a few butterflies from the lavender collection.. and because the bottom looked a bit bare I die cut some ovals and turned them into eggs... I hope I’ve given you some inspiration on how to use this collection not just for love layouts or valentines so if you love lots of pink it is easy to mix it with the other collections from prima
