So here it is...my 2nd week of 2015 #FMS Photo A Day pics...

Day 6 - Circle...This was easy, a photo of my new clock. The colours of this work well with my 'British' themed house.

Day 7 - Currently Reading... My Booky Wook by Russell Brand...a favorite in my collection of ebooks for my ipad!

Day 8 - Landscape...a lovely view of the sun going down on a drive home.

Day 9 - Pattern...Struggled with this one, but I love the pattern of the water in the swimming pool, its forever changing with different shades.

Day 10 - Hello...couldnt resist this pic today, Cuddles had been asleep and I crept up with the camera to try and get this pic...turned out awesome. (she does this look a lot!)

I was very lucky last night, the boys went to stay with their grandma so that DT and I could go to the movies. We saw Taken 3, it was great.

This is the Sketch...

and this is what I created...

2015 - New Year, Better Me and FMSPhotoADay

Happy 2015 and I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. I know i'm a bit late with my first post of the year, but have been flat out as usual with the kidlets and SCHOOL HOLIDAYS!!! The boys are busy playing on their new games so I thought I would Sneak in a little post with the First week of the Fat Mum Slim Photo A Day challenge.

In the past I have tried to do a post everyday with each individual pic, but this time around I thought i would just do a full week in one post - also i love the fact that the photo topics are coming out once a week and not a month in advance!

 

Day 1 - The Sky...this is the beautiful view above me before everyone arrived for our New Years BBQ Pool Party.

Day 2 - Something Yellow... All day i was looking for something 'Yellow' and just as I was putting Fletch to bed...yowie...I stood on his yellow Lego 'Benny'...perfect 'Yellow' item for today :)

Day 3 - Me Today...This was taken on the deck with my Iphone :)

Day 4 - I Hear... Paloma Faith, one of my favorite artist..and this album is played almost everyday. Love it!

Thanks for looking

What's new Pussy Cat? - Tom Jones

September Black with 2 Challenge

Hi everyone. I haven't been  Scrapping much lately as I haven't been well.

Ended up going to the doctors and found out after have a blood test that I was very low in some Vitamins. So I have been having a shots of B12 over the last few weeks and the doctor has suggested some vitamins to take. My energy levels are still a little all over the place but I am glad it was something so simple that can be fixed.

Now I haven't participated in a Black with 2 Challenge for a while now so I thought I would give this months challenge a go because I liked the colours on their inspiration board.

So this is the layout I came up with...

Be Bold...

 I took the inspiration form the image and created a really cool backgroud on my black cardstock.

I used white gesso as a base.

I scrunched up some white tissue paper, opened it up and sprayed it with pink and yellow dylusion mists. The Gesso was still wet on the cardstock so i placed the tissue paper over the top and left it there to dry.

Once it was dry I started to tear the tissue paper that wasnt stuck down.

here is a close up of the embelishment cluster

 I have used some products from D-lish and Scrapmatts.

I love using quotes on layouts, and this quote was perfect as it had the word BOLD in it - which was one of the requirments.

Thanks for looking

Sara Bareilles - Brave

Workshop Wonders

Hello everyone. I was lucky enough to be asked to teach at a wonderful local event Hosted by a wonderful lady, Alison, called Workshop Wonders yesterday and thought I would share with you what I did.

This was my class...

This was a 20cm x 20cm canvas the ladies were creating.

I hope the ladies learnt some new techniques while in my class...

They created their own background by scrunching tissue paper and then spraying it with Dylusions Ink Sprays. (Huge thanks to Tracy from My2Angels for ordering in the Dylusions for me!) 

The lovely chipboard pieces come from Scrapmatts. The Pieces used are...

Ornate Frame 18

Grass 01

Butterflies 07

Butterflies 20

Assorted words 01

The chipboard was embossed with black and gold embossing powders. The Black embossing powder was kindly donated by Toni from TJs Scrappin with Style.

The ladies also created their very own handmade flowers. The pink one was created using a sizzix die and the yellow one with a pipe cleaner and material....Ill do a tutorial on that flower another day!

Last...but not least.... I have to thank a VERY special person that came to help me with my class and that was my very good friend, Tracey...THANK YOU xxx

Here are a few pics i was able to quickly snap of some of thelovely ladies hard at work..

I had an awesome time meeting some new faces, and was thrilled with the feedback so thanks ladies xxx

Thanks for stopping by for a look
