Hi everyone!

Back again sharing a layout recently created using some Fancy Pants papers...

I kept this layout pretty simple for a change and I quite like how it turned out...

I love adding wooden pegs...you may have seen them pop up on a lot of my recent layouts!!

The paper bag/pocket and flair are from Greatest View and the clouds are from Typo!

 

Thank you so much for stopping by today....I hope you are getting time to get creative lately too...take care

Hi all...

If you know me well, I just adore joining in the Mood Board challenges over at JOT magazine and number 14 is no exception!!

Here is the gorgeous Mood Board for February designed by founder and editor of the magazine herself.....Kim Archer......there is still a little bit of time to play along...entries are due by the 28th of February!

Here is my interpretation of the mood board...its no secret I love Crate Paper products so I have used up some from my stash for this layout of myself and my gorgeous sister-in-law the bride!! 

This is one of those layouts that I just threw a few things together and it worked and I had it all stuck down in half an hour...very rare for me LOL!! 

Thank you for stopping by my blog today...we are finally getting some gorgeous much needed soaking rain...I just LOVE to listen to the rain while falling asleep...

Sun Sand Waves...

At the end of last year Pink Paislee had a design team call.....I love their products so I decided to enter...I sadly didn't make it but I was super happy with the projects I created...

This was by far my favourite one that I created just for the call...I used on this layout the Pink Paislee collections Nantucket, Luxe Design, Artisan, Color Wash and a little bit of Hey Kid as well.. 

The only thing that's not PP on this layout is that flair from D-Lish Scraps!!  

I misted the Artisan circle with some Heidi Swapp Coral Color Shine and the Hello tag with Tinsel Color Shine... 

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today...hope you are getting some time to create!!

Merry Christmas to you and your family!!!

I hope you are all had a wonderful day whatever you got up to, celebrating in style, eating and drinking heaps and opening up presents!!!

I have a rather cheeky layout to share today from the month long Christmas inspiration on the WOW blog and thought Christmas Day would be the perfect day to share it....

In April this year we had my sister and her hubby visit from England and since we don't get to celebrate many Christmases with them we had a mock Christmas...she came loaded with gifts for us all and my littlest Oliver (just 2) couldn't help but nick off with some of the gifts before we got to them!! Luckily I had my camera ready when I caught him!! 

See that cheeky, sly grin on his face?! Too cute!!

No Peeking...

WOW products used:

Mini Christmas Pack 1

Light Wood Veneer Arrow Icons 

Circle Mini Scallop Frames

*New Release* Light Wood Veneer Mini Christmas Baubles

*New Release* 'No Peeking' Title

Thanks so much for stopping by, I hope you catch a funny moment on your camera this Christmas perfect for a page or 2!!

Enjoy the rest of your celebrations and stay safe all....
