Create ...

Ok I'll admit it I love circles! Love using them as embellishments on my pages. Circles also work so well on cards too.

I used the Fiskars Squeeze Circle Punches here in 2 sizes. The circles were then sanded along the edges and then also brushed with ink along the edges as well. The edges of the card I used penwork for the border and also inked the edges as well.

I used the gorgeous Sweetest Bug Papers from Heidi Grace.

This layout celebrates a friendship with my gorgeous friend Donna.

This layout features papers and embellishments from the Heidi Grace Sweetest Bug collection. (My new favourite collection!)

I have focussed again on "circles". Using the Fiskars Squeeze punches in 2 sizes I have made flowers. The flowers have been sanded along the edges and detailed with penwork. Stems and leaves were cut out using Fiskars Soft Touch Scissors and also detatiled with penwork. Co-ordinating ribbon has been stapled onto the centre of the flowers. The bottom left hand corner of the layout features a Clear Overlay Shape. The edges of the layout have been sanded and detailed with penwork. Once again the layout has been finished off with journaling on a simple shipping tag.

Yep I am such a big fan of circles!! Use them so much on my pages. So when this months theme was focussing on shapes I knew I was going to have some fun with my pages.

This pages features one of my gorgeous friends Shelley and celebrates our new friendship.

The papers and embellishments are from the Heidi Grace Sweetest Bug collection.

The photo is highlighted with using Clear Overlay Shapes.

The circles have all been handrawn and cut out using both Fiskars Soft Touch Scissors and the Fiskars Fingertip Control Craft Knife. The edges of the circles have been detailed with penwork. The edges of the layout has been sanded and has more penwork around the edges. Strips of co-ordinating paper have been cut and used as a border for the photo. The layout is finished off with journaling on a simple shipping tag with a ribbon. (I ♥ shipping tags!!!)

Missing in action....

Ok so I know I have been missing in action lately..... lots been going on here and life just seems to be taking over me at the moment. I have not forgotten about everyone that stops by to check out what's happening in my part of the world. 

But I have been scrapping up a storm this weekend and will share them as soon as I can as they are for the Fiskars blog.

Scrapping Clearly Album - Mothers Day

There is nothing more special then celebrating your Mum. I created this mini album using a clear album from Scrapping Clearly and the range of products from Cloud 9 - Alyssa's Garden. A gorgeous mixture of patterns and colours. 

The title "mum"was cut out using Fiskars Soft Touch Scissors and the Fingertip Knife.
All the edges of the papers have been sanded and then detailed with penwork around the edges.

With the cold weather upon us what better way to spend the day then scrapping.

Anzac Day....

They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them

Lest we forget
