Anything Goes at CMH

Anything Goes at Challenge Me Happy #41!

So here goes...

I have been having fun playing with some of the new Spellbinder dies at Scottie Crafts. If you cut the middle out of the designs, they make gorgeous frames.

We have our son and partner living with us at the moment while they are building. One advantage is, not having to cook every night!! But, it is my turn tonight, so I'd better go rustle something up!

Cheers,

Sue :)

Weekend LO

Looking on the positive of this drought, a near empty water tank and dying garden, is the chance to spend lovely weekends outdoors. Last Saturday afternoon we went down the Mahurangi river with friends on their boat, parked up on the other side of Scotts Landing and had a pleasant wine and barbecue dinner. On the return trip the sunset was beautiful! A very pleasant afternoon!

The challenge at Once upon a.... Sketch, for March, is their sketch + 'Weekend'.
Frosted Designs  current challenge is to use Chevrons.

Cheers,
Sue :)

SGC - Banners

It has been a while since I entered a Southern Girls Challenge. I was on their first DT and they were such a great bunch of girls and have really good challenges suitable for scrappers or cardmakers.  This fortnights challenge is to use banners or pennants on your project. Check it out here.

These cute papers are from the new Fabscraps range at Scottie Crafts. The little doilies are Couture Creations mini and there are a few of the cool little wooden pieces from Prima.
 Have a great weekend!

Cute little tootsies

This layout is for Sketchabilities #85
Papers are a mix of old and new Prima. Love the new little Prima wooden shapes, too! The cool heart tape is Glitz Designs.

While we are enjoying this endless beautiful sunshine, it is bringing its problems! We are on tank water, which is at very low levels (no garden watering and 2 minute showers) and there is a huge bushfires blazing just a few miles north of us. The wind, fortunately is blowing the fire towards forest areas and not urban areas. But, still devastating! We are hoping it is under control soon!

Cheers,
Sue :)

Adore

Between baby cuddles, I am managing to get the odd layout done and some cute little outfits made. Nothing like a baby and so many gorgeous fabrics available, to dust off the sewing machine!

In this layout I have used the sketch from Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge, as the basis and used the colours from the February Prima pallet. All the papers are Prima, mostly from the Firefly collection. I love the colour combos in this collection! Lots of Primas gorgeous embellies and masks, also.
I am also going to put it into the current Frosted Friday challenge - Be bold! Not sure if it is bright enough? But anyway... here it is!

We have had a young Canadian lad staying and today we are off to the airport , as he is heading home. We are so pleased that he has been lucky enough to have amazing weather while he has been here, but is now back to snow covered grounds.

Cheers,
Sue :)

Perfect

Its so hard to choose which photos to scrap when in Madison's wee short 3 weeks, we have taken hundreds!! Poor baby must have dreams of large round circles hovering over her! At least I have the flash permanently off!
Em came up yesterday and we had fun making her first little headband.

The challenge this fortnight over at Challenge Me Happy is to use white space. I have journalling on the tag tucked into one of the paper layers and have used my cool new heart doily die again!

Cheers,
Sue :)

Love this baby of ours!

I purchased this gorgeous heart doily die from Scottie Crafts, knowing it will get lots of use!! Here, I have used 4 to form a background frame.

Frosted Designs have a challenge this fortnight...'Love + Heart'.
The sketch is from this month's challenge at 'Once Upon a...Sketch'. Their theme this month is also 'love'!
I am, of course, totally in love with this gorgeous wee baby!!


Have a good weekend everyone and if you are in our 'neck of the woods', enjoy this awesome sunshine!! Cheers,
Sue :)
