Fab Scraps Shabby Chic Cards

This Wednesday at 10.30am I am teaching a workshop at Catchy Crafts and I would love to see you there.  We will be using the gorgeous papers from Fab Scraps, an African scrapbooking company.  I love the shabby chic, vintage feel of their products.

Be quick to book a spot as it is nearly booked out.  Call Catchy Crafts on 9477 4401 and speak to the gorgeous girls there to book in.  

Cheers

New Ippity and I LOVE IT!

My order is being placed right now and these gorgeous stamps are on their way to our beautiful Australian shores!  This set is one of my favourties:


And here is what I made with my set, Angie Girl: Dream with your Heart.  


I love that this stamp set is versatile enough to use on cards, scrapbook pages, canvas', off the page and more.


They are designed by Angie Blom and they do not skimp on size.  


girl measures approximately 2.5" x 5.5"
"dream with your heart" sentiment measures approximately 1.5" x"
 flowers measure approximately 1.25" x 2.25"
floral branch measure approximately 2.75" x 3"
I can't wait to use these on a whole bunch of other projects.  
I will be back to share some projects made with the other sets released this month.  If you would like a set of THESE stamps sent out to you when they arrive then make sure to email me at scrapalley@gmail.com to get them before they hit my Etsy store.

Summer rip-off

We were so ripped off this summer don't you think? We hardly spent any time doing summer activities and barely visited the beach even though we live near some of the most beautiful in the world. But last year we did a whole bunch of beach going and here is one photo that I scrapped of Nathan that I just LOVE.

And I love those rosettes.  Been using them everywhere.

Have a great weekend.

This is how they see me......


Yep, this is how my family sees me most of the time.  One of my kids took this photo across the table from me at a restaurant in Sydney.  I AM the Memory Recorder!

I love doing pretty, girly pages.  Doilies, seam binding ribbon..........sigh!!

So it's great that my kids are now taking control of one of the many cameras I take with me on our outings (yes, either the iphone, point & shoot or the DSLR!!).  I finally get proof that I am there!! LOL.

Thanks for stopping by,

Fairies & Butterflies Kit on Etsy

Thanks to school holidays I have finally had the opportunity to put together a new kit for my Etsy Store.  This one is called Fairies & Butterflies.

It features papers from the Graphic 45 range - Once Upon a Springtime.

Plus lots of other goodies that all work well together.

Check it out at my Etsy Store HERE.
I love how feminine this kit is and it would be great for birthdays or Mothers Day that is coming up.
Cheers

Easter Wishes from Me to You!!


We have had such a lovely Easter here in the Hughes household.  We shopped and ate and hang out at home!  It was great and now the kids have gone off to the Grandparents for a holiday and I am going to get busy creating some crafty stuff.........yippeeee!  

Do you like my Easter Pancakes?  I made these for the kids yesterday morning and they thought they were pretty awesome.  I was inspired by the ones I found here.  Fun to make too.

Cheers

Cricket Cards for Everyone

Sam went to a joint birthday party recently for his best friend and a girl on their cricket team.  So of course as they ALL played together this season for the local cricket team, I made them both cricket inspired cards.

A boy version......

And my favourite, a girls version.......

Thanks for stopping by.
