yanking it out...

the creativity, that is. With all I have to do before I join Michael in Denver next week, I really have needed to yank out some scrapping, just to balance things out!

For once, this layout isn't for any challenge at all, or someone else's class! I can't remember the last time I just yanked one out.


I used Love Elsie Forrest collection and I have to say, not my favourite. Colours are all washed out and the embellies and ribbon are much more vibrant.

Some close-ups

love the Buzz & Bloom and Craft Queen flowers...


I "ruled" the lines for the journaling with the black/dirty sides of a Buzz & Bloom chipboard piece! Nifty eh?? Now you know it just isn't there to stain your fingertips!!!


and I'm not quite sure if I can buy StazOn in every colour imaginable. I'm completely hooked now LOL.

Marelle Jackman asked us at Bon's to make some cards for a Breast Cancer Fundraiser - and only too happy to oblige. Another excuse really, to avoid the daily hummmm-drummmm.


used scraps from the Love Elsie pack and some RIBBON and FLOWERS. yes, you're NOT seeing things - do not adjust your monitor!!

And the lovely Charm has finally received her 30th birthday present from me. She's put a pic in Bon's Gallery for posterity's sake (pmsl) but I do have a pic of my own ring in a similar style (same but different) but of course Charm's is mostly PURPLE!

Can't remember the designer's name but if you're in Brisbane, (edited: her name is SIMONE DENNIS DESIGNS) grab one at Green Tangerine in Paddington, next to Java Lounge cafe. LOADS of gorgeous bits and pieces. I'm going back to buy a pendant for a friend's 40th this weekend, from the same designer.

And I'll just have to buy a passport wallet. They are DIVINE and just make you want to travel!!!!

Oh that's right......I AM!!!!

brighter and buoyant....
(although you DON'T want to know about my coversation with my Paediatrician's secretary...grrrrr - some people are just too snooty!!)
