Catching Up on some Project Life

I have been keeping myself occupied at night lately catching up on some long overdue PLing.
Here are the spreads I have finished.....

This one is my last from December I needed to complete, I am pretty relieved now it is finished.  I used some making memories papers I had from a few Christmases ago and also some older K&Co embellies.




Here is my final spread from February, about the potato in a bucket competition Andrew got conned into PAYING to enter ;) The kids enjoyed though and we are going to get our potato in much earlier this year.
And now onto the start of my March spreads.  I am so far behind it is a bit ridiculous really, thank goodness I do monthly and not weekly or I would be totally stuffed.



And that is it for now, although I am playing catch up at a rapid rate so I will have some more to share soon :)

Anything Goes with The Paper Shelter

It is a sunny winters day here and I am feeling totally crapola, I am sure my pneumonia has returned for a follow up visit and it is made worse by the fact I can't go and crawl into bed and suffer in dignity as it is school holidays and I have all 4 munchkins to occupy.  #1 is doing a great job of looking after me and has just come in and announced he has filled the woodbox and wheelbarrow, what a sweetie!

Today we start a new challenge at TPS and it is Anything Goes, I made this card with Adorable Cinderella which I coloured with Prisma pencils and OMS


Thanks so much for popping by today :)  I am off to the doctor this afternoon so I am sure I will be back to my healthy hale self soon.

Clean & Simple with The Paper Shelter

This week at the The Paper Shelter we would love to your clean and simple cards.  I found this challenge pretty difficult, to me clean and simple means minimal layerering and embellishments, although I am sure people have different thoughts on what their own C&S style is.
Here is my card which I mostly made up in Photoshop......

I used a precoloured image called Cute Nurses which comes with 2 images.  I also used a butterfly and twine from my Noel Mignon kit and some washi from my stash.

I hope you will join us at The paper shelter this week :)

Southern Girls Challenge - No spoolin plus a DT call

This week over at Southern Girls we DON'T want to see any spooled items on your projects, so no cotton, no ribbon and no twine.  It is actually a bit harder than it sounds, well for me anyway.  I had this photo of #3 and #4's feet taken on the couch, I love how chubby and cute they are so i decided to use some of my Noel Mignon kit to make my layout along with some gorgeous embellies from PAPERVINE .

Here is my layout.....

Also we are having a DT call  at SGC you can check it out HERE

I also have some super exciting news which I will share soon :)  It is very exciting and has given me a huge swelled head LOL.

Project Life for The Stamp Spot

I'm here today with a project life share for The Stamp Spot.  As you can see from my pages I use lots of bits and pieces on my Project Life pages along with real kits :)  I love to use washi on my journal cards and photo backgrounds to add some colour......




I tend to use a mix of washi designs in co-coordinating colours and patterns along with stamps, thickers and patterned paper off cuts.  I also use a lot of stickers from sticker sheets from companies such as Echo Park  as seen on the above spread.

Here is a close up of one of my cards using a journal card base.....


Thanks loads for joining me here for the stamp spot today and you can find lots of gorgeous washi designs to add the finishing touch to your PL Spreads in The Stamp Spot store.  Michelle has a great range and the shipping is super reasonable.
