I TRY...

BITW has another ripper of a word prompt for you and this challenge is all about 'TIME' that very precious commodity that eludes most of us. I know it seems I am doing a few pages on me lately,  hope I am not boring you guys with these ones but after this word reveal I promise to stop the self obsession for a little while  tee hee.


I had a small epiphany recently after thinking about what I was going to do for my DT page I realised I spend way too much money and time accumilating papers and scrap related products that most of my allocated scrapping time is spent in complete disarray and of course time is of the essence when you have a busy little adventurous boy on your hands. 


So rather than wasting these valuable minutes sorting, arranging and cleaning my space I have set a challenge 'to use up as much of my stash as possible!' My Scraproom is absolutely chockers I need nothing else except more minutes in the day, so even though this is a small idea it may prove to create 'perfect harmony'  in my life between scrapping more constructively and freeing up more time with Tig-let.

Thats the story behind this DT page, do you think I can do it? To be honest I am not sure I can stick to my guns on this one, I am such a scrapstash hoarder I am one of the worst, tee hee. 
Thank you for stopping by xox

BESTFRIENDS...

Its Friday which means its time for the reveal at TCR. This weeks palette #84 is a yummy whitewashed one using colour from brown and sandy tones. Its such a scrummy palette, which lends itself to using all those woodgrain pp's in your stash ;) If your a card maker or OTP fanatic The Color Room would love to see your designs in the gallery so come on over and share your gorgeous designs we'd love  to see them.

Here's my digi page of one of my dearest friends Shanthe with her daughter Tegan on Teegs 21st birthday. It blows my mind that Teegs is 21 it only seems like yesterday when I got the call she was born and scooted off to hospital to see an 8 week premmie bubba and then in a blink of an eye she is grown up, at uni studying Criminology and is a gorgeous young woman. 

I created the digital paper base by photographing a paper I had made using gesso, The Crafters Workshop Circle Grid template and masking tape then converting the colour to work with the palette, here is the original paper design.

Thanks for stopping by everyone and hope you have a fantastic weekend xox

MY 2 PEAS!

Well we have finally settled in to our new place and am loving the extra space, I now have a fully fledged scraproom again and so much more room I don;t know what to do with tee hee. 

Anyways the boxes are unpacked and little Tiges room is coming together nicely. I have completely changed his theme to green and yellow sounds a little patriotic I know, but its bright and happy just like he is so is the perfect space for a little boy to grow with.

I have also been scrapping again after 3 weeks of very little creativity taking place I am back into the swing of things and loving the mojo, bring it on!

This weekend is the Scrapbook and Paper Craft Expo, gosh I wish I could go :( but with the monster pram I think I'll be pinging a few shoppers off so have decided to refrain from the spending splurge, but if any of you lovely ladies make it there please pop a vote for me in the 'Express Yourself' competition/digital scrapping section, I'm desperate for a new printer, lol!

Okay so its another week full of colour at The Color Room, with yesterdays launch of the white washed palette #62 from the sun room. Here's my take using a misting screen I created with my cricut and the palette itself. 

Have a great weekend and happy shopping lucky peeps!

BECAUSE OF YOU DADDY

This month one of The Color Room sponsors are Imaginarium Designs a fabulous & relatively new company that designs chipboard accents. The DT's were all sent a bag full of goodies to play with and use on our pages.


This week I created a soft masculine page of my two boys called 'Because of you Daddy',

using the Imaginarium cog and gears chippies as elements(which come in 2 different size packs)and Palette#58 which comes from the sunroom, you can read about it here.

I also have been doing a bit of a catch up with the palettes, this is one I did a couple of weeks ago but forgot to post here.
Its called 'The tinniest thing...' and the colour palette#17 which I used for inspiration.

Hope you have a lovely lazy Sunday! xox
