And its all about catch-up! So much to do, so little time, and this poor neglected blog! Cant even get my life down to a slow galop and its felt like this for much of this year (probably why I dont know where the year has gone to - it has flown by!) The galop will stop - when the 3rd of December is over and finally the long summer holidays will be here. I'm just hanging out for then!
So what has been happening scrappy-wise...take a look....
Its all about Basic Grey this Month.
(one of my faves is the woodgrain papers in 'Life of the Party')
Room Challenge is up and its all about the Dining Room
Room 1
Hannah in the tulip fields
Room 2
Little Hannah chatting away to herself
Room 3
Little Paige looking at her hat in the mirror
I also did a quick little tutorial on making some paper flowers from
Nook and Pantry papers with the doilies on them (as shown on the LO above)... very simple, quick, easy and inexpensive and you can make heaps of them!
adding a centre (Origins Relaxation paper) and tying on a button!
Easy-peasy!
Here's a little tutorial on Simple Stories 2012 booklet ,
also at Scrap Therapy
using these papers
here's a couple of page samples
