Happy New Year

-
Happy New Year to everyone......and as we all know the New Year is about resolutions and also new beginings.....so with this in mind one of my resolutions is to post much more regularily on my blog and to also comment on yours as well plus do a few more challenges and.......well you get the picture. So I am going to start off with a couple of cards and layouts that I did for Nicole aka Craft Queen http://www.craftqueen.com.au/index.php.
Nicole very graciously asked me to use the ribbons from the January Ribbon Club http://www.craftqueen.com.au/ribbon-club/january-2013-ribbon-club/prod_11606.html and they are just so beautiful.


With these I did the following layouts, the first is of my one of my gorgeous neices Haylee -


I used the beautiful velvet green ribbon and placed the cute dotted pink one on top, tied a bow out of the blue and wrapped a pretty little rose around the center. All the embellies used are available from Craft Queen, I especially like the little wooden flowers.

Second is a page of my two cute little cousins Indigo and Finlay -


I cut the ribbons on this page and made banners out of them, the little birds are also cut from the ribbon (thanks Kim for the idea) and by sticking the ribbon onto white cardstock first the fiddly cutting out was so much easier. The stripey ribbon was perfect for under the pic. Used some Echo Park pp here, Summer Days suited the pic and ribbons so well.

  Next up are a couple of cards......now I normally suck big time making general occasion cards but what a difference these gorgeous ribbons made.....really boosted the creativity along.




 Just for you used the green and peach, some more pretty roses, kaiser pearls, lots of inking and some stitching.



The Thankyou card used  the green velvet, blue and peach coloured ribbons,the diecut banner, little roses and metal flowers are again all available from Craft Queen.







 So once again I would like to say thankyou to Nicole for this wonderful opportunity and if you are a ribbon lover be sure to check out her site and see for yourself the fantastic range of ribbons (as well as other scrapbooking products) available.

Hugs and love till next time (which will be soon)

SCRAPPY SATURDAY WITH COMPANY

I am so fortunate to have two really awesome ladies, Mary and Kim as my dearest friends, and incredibly lucky that we have the opportunity to get together every second Saturday to scrap.  This Saturday was fantastic as we had the lovely Cheryl (Cootamundra) and the gorgeous Jo (Mudgee) both travel to join us all for the day. We all had so much fun, scrapping, chatting, playing with the great toys that Jo (bigshot) well looked at Jo's didn't really play, but will next time and Cheryl (cricut) did have a play with it (can see a wish list happening here)   And then of course there was lunch, chicken, tossed salad (with a yummy handmade dressing by Mary) and crusty french stick, but the thing that we were all waiting for was Kims Famous PAV and boy was the wait worth, it think she excelled hereself this this. And if the look on Jo's face was anything to go by, yes, it tasted as good as it looked, I still have one piece left for afternoon tea today. Yummo!!!! Then u...

Stuck?!: October 15th Challenge

Image
So the second challenge I did a layout for is the October 15th Challenge at Stuck?! Sketches, October 15th Challenge . Really liked the Sketch for this Challenge It was perfect for this last picture of my beautiful dog Wombat who crossed over the rainbow bridge on the 22nd September this year. He was not quite 17 and was the most gentle, loving and incredible dog that I have had the privilege of being part of our lives. Unfortunately his arthritis became that bad a decision had to be made. He took a piece of my heart with him and he will never be forgotten. For this page I used some old 7 dots studio Lost and Found paper, washi tape, jute ribbon and lots of bits and pieces from my stash. Cheers all Annette

OMG I HAVE BLOGGED!!!!!!

Just wanted to share a couple of recent layouts I have done, the first is for the current challenge at http:// www.orangepaperieandco.blogspot .com.au/2013/11/ some-more-layouts-from-dt-to-in spire-you.html where the lovely Jo has a sketch with the added criteria of fussy cutting and using die cuts. I used this stunning pic of my friend Susan Walters gorgeous little granddaughter Bella for my page. I gave the page to Sue as a gift and didn't expect the reaction I got, she was quite overwhelmed, made the work I put into this so worthwhile. A bit of a closie showing the gorgeous flower which I did mutilate by pulling apart, oh dear The second is so precious to me, it is my amazing cousin Sandra Nuttall with her new son Everett, who came into this world a bit too early and fought very hard to stay, thankfully a battle he won, the look of love and wonder on her face as she watches him sleep leaves me speechless. The page with Sandra...
