Heart 2 Heart

 Good morning how are you? All the things are happening , finding life balance out of skew and also in skew, I know that makes no sense but I am learning to relax more and if I want to just sit on the couch with the hubby and the kids thats ok, its trying to learn that you dont have to do things every minute of the day or do something everyday and thats the hard thing with FIFO life, you try and cram life into 6 days.

Not bitching because this has giving us our first home, but the balance can be trying sometimes. Ok enough of that, here to share with you my latest creation.

Happy Easter?

Good morning how are you? I have to say I am struggling with my mojo lately I think it might the weathers fault lol .... well at least thats what I am going to stick with lol. But I have decided to clear some of my Easter photo backlog and use the amazing Studio 73 A Touch of Spring Collection as it leans itself towards those type of photos.

Cute as a Bug with Alexandra Renke

Good morning how are you? I am here today to share another layout using Alexandra Renke. I have to say I have had this in the stash for awhile as I wasnt sure what I was going to do with it but then like that inspiration struck and I have to say this is one of my favourites.

How awesome are the beetles?

Fright Night - Blind Crop

Good morning I am here for Annas Craft Cupboard today to say a big thank you to all those that participated in this month Cyber Crop...... Fight Night. All your work is amazing and we are honored and humbled by your amazing work.

Step 1 : Cut 1 inch ( 2.5 cm) off your pattern paper

Step 2 : stick your pattern paper the now 11xx11 to your 12x12 cardstock making it centered

Step 3 : Create 3 tags from the 6x6 pattern paper. Each tag should be 5 inches x 3 inches (12.5 cm x 7.5 cm).

Step 4: You will be arranging your tags in a line in the centre of your background pattern paper left to right.

Step 5: Stick your tags down with foam mount…… with the first tag stick a doily underneath the bottom left side of the tag.

Step 6: Stick your photo on tags two and three with foam mount. You can either cut your 6x4 in half, keep it whole, use wallet size photos ….. its up to you to make it your own.

 Step 7: Decorate your first tag with your ephemera if you don’t have ephemera you can use some fussy cut some pattern paper……

 Step 8: Stick a title with your thinkers under the first and second tag….. if you don’t not have thickers you could use a chipboard title, acetate word, alphabet stickers…..

Step 9: Flick your mist on your background around your tags.

Step 10: You can add some twine to your tags or not its your choice….

Step 11: Now make it your own with rhinestones / enamel dots, use your second doily under another tag whatever you feel your layout needs…… maybe a wood veneer or two.
