Blog makeover /CT Sponsor update

Check out my AMAZING new blog design, is it not fabulous????
Thanks so so so so much to the talented Kristine Davidson who has done yet another fabulous job on my blog. This is the 3rd blog makeover she has given me and I love it so much. It is soooooooooooo me all aqua and chevron just WOW thanks Kristine.

If you are thinking of having a blog make over you really should check her out, so so friendly, easy to work with and very well priced. You can find her HERE.

Just thought I would come and share the reveal for the kits over at Citrus Twist as they have went live and are currently being mailed to subscribers. Now the June main kit has been sold out so if you love it I would sign up soon as the kits are just becoming more and more popular each and every month. I bought the May  kit and I could not believe how fast it arrived it took 7 days only to ship WOW that is fabulous and it also is a flat rate shipping fee and I love that. Also another huge bonus in my book is she emails the subscribers an email with sneaks of the kit and you can buy them then and only what is left goes live to the public. I really think this is an awesome thing to do as she is really looking after those who are buying each and every month.

A Card

I am sharing today another quick card I made for the CHA challenges over at Studio Calico this past month.


I can not remember the exact challenge but it was something to do with the actual mask. I chose to use paints and painted the background which i then cut out and mounted on a card base, I then added a dear Lizzy sticker, some dots and twine and it was done.

Oh and while I am here I want to share with you this amazing sneak I just saw today. This line is to.die.for.pretty. don't you agree.


especially this sheet here, I may need 3 million of it alone.

Oh and in case you did not know this, there are huge changes going on over at Paper Issues and there is this fabulous deal going on right now.

Could we love you more

Today over at Practical Scrappers the theme is ink splatters/masks so i chose to use my mask along with iridescent medium and silver metallic Martha Stewart paint and then i added a few splatters of mist to finish it off. Though while it was drying Lucy decided to move the layout and she smeared all the ink so rather than chuck it I decided to just make it work and covered the mess with paper. This is where the basic design for this one comes from along with lots of scraps and die cut paper. 



 A lot of this is made from the Lost at Sea kit from Paper Issues so even though it was a themed kit it works great for anything

Its a shame as the picture does not do the medium justice, it is so shimmery and smooth and just really cool. You so have to buy it and try it out.

Project Life Week 21

Today I am sharing more of my PL, this one is a spread that I actually used a challenge to put together. It is from Amy Tan and the challenge was too use only one collection for the whole spread and you can see the challenge HERE. Now months ago I would have said that is super easy, but over the past few months I have started really mixing up my products when working on a PL spread. I tend to use collections from Dear Lizzy, Amy Tangerine, Studio Calico and Becky Higgins herself. I have been mixing these particular lines up because I just love them and I feel like I never want to use another collection again EVER ha ha. No but seriously how on earth can those ladies top Yes Please and Lucky Charm I mean they are STUNNING and oh so easy to work with. Normally. I think what I was missing was my usual enamel dots and veneer that I add to my PL spreads but overall I am happy with it.




I actually used almost a full pack of the tags on this spread, love how easy they are to use for PL

Arrrrrr

Here is a layout i made for the nautical theme over at Practical scrappers today, can I just say that I have been LOVING all the anchors I have been seeing everywhere. The issue was I was yet to use one on an actual layout so when this theme was set i was super excited to join in. 

Last week Lucy had set up a pirates ship in the lounge and dressed up with her old Halloween costume, she even had me make her an anchor on my cameo that she decorated. I thought YES perfect for my nautical layout so here it is. The one thing i am mad about is i had a cute yellow flair badge with an anchor on it that i have been hoarding and of course now i can use it I can not find it, always happens right? I will use it once i find it on another layout, no biggy.

Oh and the pirate ship is still set up 1 week on, she asked if she could so I said yes OK, It will stay there until it annoys me.


Remember to check the rest of the DT's work out HERE

For this one i used this amazing kit from Paper Issues though Lucy already took the anchor tag.
Loved this kit so much and have made 3 layouts using it so far 2 of which were not nautical related at all.
I even included the bag the kit came in, i loved that it had the label stitched on, cute.
Last I looked there was 1 of these kits left, you know you want it LOL.

A Card

Hey ladies i though i would share another card today, this is one i did a few weeks back for the CHA challenges over at Studio Calico
For this challenge we were asked to make our own back ground so I chose a stamp I have from Kikki K and just stamped it all over the page. Next I backed it on some paper and added some twine.
This card was really simple and took maybe ten minutes from start to finish.

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend, I know we are. Yesterday which is Saturday here in NZ we just chilled for most of the day, then my friends son who does our lawns came so we went out and helped with the leaves etc. I then invited us to her house for dinner LOL and it was good. I just feel like we have not caught up in ages, but I know myself in the colder months I tend to hibernate more.
We had my favourite meal EVER which is mac and cheese but she added salami to it and I have to say I LOVED that and I will be making this for Gary to try too.


The kids watched a movie on the TV while we sat and had a good chat.
That's my Sam there who does my lawns, love that boy, actually I love them all but he is special :)


We came home and tucked up in bed and skyped Gaz from my phone then Lucy and I took our usual silly pictures LOL


Yup we are nuts ha ha
