Sweet Icing!

I cant help it, the nozzles were just sitting on the bench - not properly put away from the party ( yep Im a bad housewife - and I dont care ( really Mum, Im not. The house and the children are ALWAYS spotless!) So afternoon tea got some extra special attention!! 

PS the cake is strawberry and cream yoghurt cake.

Cards

Just a super quick post ( sorry for pic overload!), as we had needles here today ( 3 big huge ones!) and we have a slight case of the grumps.  A lot of these have come from me just sitting at my desk and reaching for what ever is at hand.

Non edited for the same reason above.

The heart is cut from sticky back foam and used as stamp, then covered in Dimensional magic and a layer of embossing powder, which I have left non embossed ( think poor mans flocking)
The play card is small, fits in the palm of my hand.

Trying to show the acetate Ive stitched on.

Since

Firstly Thank you all for the birthday wishes, I still am having trouble believing he really is one. I guess the third goes faster because you are so busy breaking up the fights between the first 2!

So because We had a slice of Saturday yesterday, and I was at my nephews birthday today before coming home and having a huge granny nap to rid me of my horrid headache, I have no picture for today. Instead Ill show you a couple of lay outs I did in my down time over these holidays.

The Lollipop flowers on this came from the amazing Mandy, that I received quiet a while ago but had been waiting for just the right project to use them on!

The title and journaling says - Nothing Like a kiss from Mumma. 

Technically , I guess I could say I worked this layout over 2 years, as I started it NYE and finished on the 2nd, but I think that just makes me sound sad!!

The question mark I cut out of sticky back foam and used that to make a stamp ( make sure you cut it backwards, or like me you will have to do it twice) and I indented another lil question mark in the dot

I just wanted simple for this layout. Where did this sweet little boy go?!? If you locate him please feel free to swap him for the preteen that resides here, I miss him.

Ill show the cards tomorrow ( well except for some of the Chrissy cards as a couple got sent out with out photos!)

 

Slice of Saturday

A quick slice of Saturday today as it is an important day here. 

Happy First Birthday to My Sweet not so little anymore, but walking boy. 

A to Z

Ok, Im off holiday mode and back on the horse!

 I wanted to start with a goal of mine this year.

I was having a search around, for year long challenges ( Thanks Teresa for putting the idea in my head!!) and seeing what was out there last week, before I went to bed.

Now I dont fall asleep easy at the best of times, and my head was having a think, when I realised - there are 26 fortnights in the year right ( I hope, let me go check... ok Im good) and there are 26 letters in the alphabet!! Coincidence - yeah, probably, but Im running with it any way! 

That sent my little mind a buzz. I had been wanting to try a more arty type journal challenge and so have set my self a goal, ( any any one who wants to join in!!).

Each fortnight, a letter, and a page about me having to do with that letter. 

I decided to destroy a readers digest book and use that as my base so got my stapler out and organised it into 26 rough sections and have stapled away. 

So with out further adieu

The Letter A! 

Always Dreaming.

 Im using it as a try things, free flowing, trial and error, Anything goes journal. Might even learn a thing about my self and who I am behind the wife hood and motherhood, and all the other hoods I am.

I hoping to start showing these every second friday. 

A letter a fortnight, I can do that!

Slice of Sunday

All clean and ready to start anew.

Regualr posting to begin again this week ( providing the change in my internet provider tomorow goes smooth, A girl can dream right!)
