KIU & News To Share!!

I have just come back from visiting my sister in Toowoomba for the weekend and had a lovely time just chilling out and catching up, but it was a bit chilly up there, spent most of my time sitting in front the the fire with my blankie!  Whilst I was there I was also able to catch up with Leanne Jago, who is such a doll.  Loved seeing her amazing creations up close.. they are even better IRL!!  Thanks so much for making the time to have a coffee and a chat on your busy weekend :)))

Exciting News
WOO HOO can finally share my exciting news... I have been invited by Sofie and Andrew at Scrapmatts to be part of their amazing Design Team along with Kim Kendell!!  I was so excited when Sofie approached me as I just adore Scrapmatts chipboard, and can't wait to share my creations at the end of the month.  Pop on over and check out all the gorgeous work in their gallery and be prepared to fall in love with their awesome chipboard designs.

Kraft It Up


This month at KIU is an inspiration pic challenge,  create a layout using Kraft or Kraft Patterned Paper as your base.  You could take inspiration from the colours, the cupcakes themselves, the number of photos you use on your layout could represent how many cupcakes there are, the flowers and so forth..

Used Bazzill spotty kraft for my background and for the Martha Stewart doily punched border with some Websters and Girls Paperie pp's in the lovely soft pastel colours of the cupcakes.. some gorgeous Prima blossoms, doilies and lace to add a soft feminine touch and a lovely silver butterfly charm from My2Angels

Tracy at My2Angels has some fabulous chipboard resist techniques to share this week, so click HERE to check them out and while you're there you can check out the 15% discount on glimmer mist and embossing powders, which will be available until July 15th.



 That's it for me... thanks so much for stopping by and leaving some love :)))
