Hey there
Easter weekend done and dusted and now my children have there 2 week school holidays :)  We went for a break to our hometown Taupo and brought back our niece and nephew for a few days.  I don't expect much blogging to be done over the next few days or anything done on my own projects but the lil ones are very much in to scrapping and creating with their aunty so we will be doing heaps of that.  My kids are big now so it's nice to get down and dirty with the glue and paste although thats really a normal day for me.

Today we made finger puppets out of felt and googly eyes and anything else we could find to glue on...so cute.

I was a bit late drawing the winner for my KOS MINI ALBUM GIVEAWAY, got that done today with the help of my lil buddies.

So congratulation to the winners and I hope that Linda enjoys filling this mini with some great memories as much as I enjoyed making it :)

I have got some great projects coming up in the near future including my website getting made with the help of a friend...got alot of ideas so many infact I find it hard to sleep some nights.  Also working on my music aswell which is always a joy for me and getting to do that with awesome muscians and artist is a real treat.

So thats all for now xo

ANNOUNCEMENT,RAMBLE,UPDATE

Heya :) yet another creative week, halfway through and been pretty busy. Some great and exciting news first is that I am now an ANGEL for LSH :) which means I am one of four new Design team members and what is better still is I am designing for my all time favourite craft Cynthia ( YT -Cynthialoohoo)  So in the very near future I will be designing some projects from cindy's templates, that are all available from the LSH website :) I already have so many ideas going through my mind and looking forward to geting to know the other angels too.

This week I will be sending off some artwork, I've been painting these "om's".  My sister is a hardcore yogi and she wanted one, and then her friends wanted some an so over hte last couple of months I have painted and sold a few. None quite as big as this one though it stands a 1m tall and approx 70cm in width.  Done with acrylics, water soluble crayons, inks, stamps, heat embossed with utee and accented with gold perlex all painted over a collaged canvas.

I love painting these for other paople and have now painted quite a few. This was pretty big though and I think I prefer to do them on a smaller scale.

Wow !!!!!!
Whatta a crafty weekend I had.  I was sooo lucky to be able to have heaps of crafty time this weekend.  The kids had their own things going on and my darling had work so it was just me my fav music and my creativity...total bliss.  Sunday I had my bestie and her 3 beautiful sons for lunch but after that it was straight back out to my lil den.  I have my band gear set up out there too so I often have a break and a wee jam session while I wait for paint to dry.....soo my kind of a good time :)

So what did I get up to????.....I got started on the "keep on scrappin" challenge hosted by the ultimate Bona.  You have to create a mini album out of scraps from one collection of your choice. There was no theme but you couldn't use any dies, or punches.  It was my first challenge and I must say I was pretty over eager lol <3

So I chose the Tim Holtz Lost and Found collection, it seem to be a never ending stack I've created several projects with it, and if I'm clever there is still enough to make some cards or tags, heaps of goodie bits left for my journals and mixed media pieces.  I used scrap card board, and old packaging for the pages even used scrap flowers...well not scrap ones just ones that would never of made to a project cause of color.


Pretty happy with the cover.  Been hoarding a couple of Tim Holtz embellishments that I got in a rak from Geordie.

Love how these torn edges expose the corrogated board adds to the scrappy feel of the album.

I was so glad to use some of this plastic packaging I got from my kid toy boxes.



It was great to use my favourite technique "collage" in this album. A great and effective way to use scraps, and this paper was perfect for this mini.
HMMMMMMMMMMM My dumb pics have decided to stop uploading so that will have to be all for now.  Be sure to check out my vid on this mini :)
