Good Morning
Thought I would put up this layout for you all to see, it is very similar to the Prima January sketch I did earlier however I used this layout for the Ladies in my classes last weekend here and in Balclutha.
I wanted them to have a go at the paper lace around the circle and fussy cutting the flower vine,
which they all handled extremely well.
This layout seems to work well with any style photos but I think the black and white just finishes the layout off nicely.

This was usisng the Prima Printery Collection from last year.....cant wait for all the new papers and embellies to start hitting our shores!

Ok short and sweet this time,
have a great week and I will catch you later

Stuck?! Sketches Card DT Call......

Ok Ok I finally decided to enter this competition for the DT Call, I had been thinking and thinking and then thought why not???
I totally admire anyone that can put together a great sketch for others to follow and there is something mildly satisfying about seeing everyone get totally creative with the same item and how differently everything turns out...............so here is the sketch

Here are the 2 cards I came up with,
Note:- I have turned the sketch around for this card

and here is a close up of the wee bird on the flowers, isn't she gorgeous?

and this dreamy one.....

This one I am going to use for a friends wedding next weekend, I love the netting it gives the whole card a real pop!

Why not click the link below and head over to Stuck?! Sketches and see what they have been up to

Take Care and Have a great weekend...

BAP - Prima Jan Comp

Ok here is my first entry, this year for the Prima monthly sketch challenge.
In this layout I have used mostly papers from the
Prima - Printery Collection with one from the Prima -Romantique Collection along with a little bit of Tim and the title is from Imaginarium Designs.

What do you think......


The layout is of Little Sophia with her Mummy and Daddy during a family photo shoot and I was lucky enough to be given some photos to play with.
Isn't she a wee cutie!

Ok short and sweet, but I do have plenty more to upload over the next week so keep an eye out
Take Care

Help...Call the Police!!!

Someone has stolen December and January!
where have they gone?
It feels like I went to bed in November and now woke up facing the end of January.....

So that means I have a lot of work to catch up on and classes to sort for the upcoming year
and looking at some of the sneak peeks for the CHA there is going to be some very nice bits and pieces for us to all play with and drool over this year......So

Stay awake People, I promise not to be AWOL again
and I also promise to be bringing you some very special classes and ideas over the next few months.

Till Then......

"Stuck" Sketches - 15th November Challenge

This months 2nd sketch challenge over at Stuck Sketches was very minimalistic and I kind of struggled achieving the end result, but I totally love the finished layout.
I have used some papers from The Scrap Cake - Bright Side of Life range and I think I have found a new favourite.

Pop over and have a look at the awesome entries for this months challenge
http://stucksketches.blogspot.com

Here is the sketch we had to follow.....

Here is my take on this months Sketch Challenge, I love the papers they are so soft and delicate and take on a whole different look when teamed with some very special Prima Resin Goodies and flowers, but then again it wouldn't be one of my layouts without a little bit of Tim included somewhere.........

What do you think....................This Photo of Trevor and Myself was taken at the Botanical Gardens here in Dunedin during a wonderful photo shoot recently, he was being extremely cheeky as we had just walked up a hill to the seat for the photo and I must admit I was a bit puffed!

I can't wait to see what the next months sketches are going to be

Stuck?! Sketches November Challenge

Stuck? for an idea.................
Use a Sketch from "Stuck Sketches"......................

The sketch for this month over at stucksketches.blogspot.com for the first part of November was exactly what I was after to show off these awesome photos of Little Sophia,
(I love stealing Baby photos from the Neighbours!!!)
I was also able to use one of my new favourite paper lines from Kaisercraft- the Bonjour Line arent they absolutely gorgeous..........

Here is the sketch for the November's Challenge:-


and my entry into this months challenge..................


Isnt she a wee cutie?
lets know what you think of the layout and of course if you are at all stuck for an idea head over to the website and see what you can come up with.

Prima BAP Challenge October 2011

In October I spotted this sketch for Prima's BAP Challenge so thought I would give it a go since Trevor and I had just received out Photos back from the gorgeous Mel at www.facebook.com/artifexphotography (well worth the time and money if you get the opportunity) and I was really excited about having new photos and goodies to play with.

Here is what I came up with and the sketch underneath:-

I even got to use some of the awesome packaging that came on the Fence Mask I have purchased recently. (might have to get some more of these)

I had a lot of fun playing with this sketch , new photos and of course Prima goodies.............. what a combination!!!

Hope to catch you all again soon with some more creations from my never decreasing stash...
