Welcome everyone to the first Handmade Halo ' Mojovator' !  I am so thrilled to see you here! Our mojovator is a simple easy but fun one using a sketch I created. The challenge will finish midnight Wednesday November 30th AEST and the winners will be announced December 2nd on both the Halo Blog and FB page. We hope you can join in to be in the running to win a fantastic prize pack from Handmade Halo all details will be posted on the Halo blog...

The Mojovation for this month is... 

1:Create a page or other project using this sketch template as your inspiration. You can turn it any which way so long as you stick close to the original design.

Here's my page of my bubba's first Spag Bol feast...I used the 'Antique Store' pp range from Pretty Little Studio and glass cabochon pebble.

2:Add a set of wings to your project. You might like to use a chipboard, embellishment, rub-on, mask or the word in your title, it is entirely up to you what you do so long as 'wings' in some form or another make an appearance.

3:Become a follower of Handmade Halo's blog.

4:Post your project to your blog and then use the inlinkz feature at Handmade Halo to share you project with us.

Optional: To have your project posted in the Halo FB gallery email your image to corinne@handmadehalo.com.au

MY WISH FOR YOU...

The new challenge word at BITW to use on your page or other project is 'WISH'. You have one month to complete your project in order to be in the running to win a kit from Tidbitz In Time.


Can't wait to see your designs in the gallery here's mine which I hope gives you some inspiration of course I have done a page on the one thing that inspires me, my little man Tig-let and my 'WISH'for him is to keep on smiling...

I used The Crafters Workshop new mini Cubist template which is a perfect design to just add that little extra bit of interest without being too defined, love it, love it, love it and also used some of the PP's from Pretty Little Studio and their 'Antique Store' collection. You can get your hands on these little pretties at Handmade Halo!


Hope you have a wonderful week and can't wait to see what your wishes are! xox

SCRAPPING LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW!

I have been busy trying to pass my time with Dan gone for an extra week this hitch, so inbetween Tige's sleeps I have grabbed the proverbial bull by the horns and scrapped DT work like there is no tomorrow!

This week I did a couple of layouts for Handmade Halo using the gorgeouse Pretty Little Studio papers which you can pre-order through Halo. They are a fabbo vintage/retro inspired range of papers with heaps of cute little accessories and Corinne also makes some awesome embellishments that compliment the papers so go check PLS out, then drop Corinne a line and she will tee you up.

Anyways here are the couple of LO's I have done using the Vintage Shop and the April Showers Paper ranges and some of the fantastic new stencils from The Crafters Workshop, I have got a serious crush on these new designs and have yet to play with some of them!

Its also 2 days past TCR reveal and again I am late in sharing my DT page. So better rectify that and pop it in this post.

I know its another LO using the same photo agggggaaain, but I love this image of my mum and my aunty they were both such cute little girls and its also because I am trying to get more in touch with the vintagey girl within me and this photo inspires that. Not so sure I managed to capture what it is I am going for but I just love this photo.

I also used this page for Halo because the handmade flower is one I created from sheets of Microfiche film similar to the one below,

Corinne added to my DT pack to see what I could come up with. So I decided I'd make a Transparent flower, by inking the film with alcohol inks then melting the edges with the heatgun. Very cute flower me thinks...

Okay going to scoot now time for Tig-lets breaky could do with some toast and a cuppa myself. Hope you have a beautiful relaxing Sunday and a fun week ahead.

Thanks for stopping by xox

DARE 2 DREAM

I realise now more so than ever before that having a child not only means a lot of joy and happiness but it also presents itself with the importance of thinking about what kind of advice you would pass on to your children. 


Amongst so many possiblilites the one thing I truly want for Tig-let is that he never lay idle...that he experience life to its fullest, I know thats a cliche but I still stand by it as one of my top 5 pearls of wisdom. Dare to dream, be true to yourself, dont procrastinate & simply make your aspirations come true. 


This layout is about just that it is also about wanting Tige to see the world to experience people and their countries and make some amazing memories to cherish something I wish I had done! ahhh I hear you say but it is never too late, and yep so true my time will come when I am a Super Annuate, ba ha ha! The colour inspo came from TCR and this weeks palette #74.

I used a bit of Basic Grey and the little clocks are glass pebbles created by Handmade Halo, go check the store out. Thought I might add that the clouds are inked using a handcut stencil I created sometime ago.

I also thought I might sub it for this weeks word challenge 'Memory' (which I used in the journalling and as extra accents on the page) at Bird is a Word Challenge site, go check them out they are currently looking for new DT members and sketch artist which I'd love to apply for, one of my pet loves is designing sketches but I just dont have enough time with my other DT commitments..

Okay better go, little Tig-let is whinging and crying poor poppet needs a sleep. Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a great Sunday and a wonderful week!

HE'S MY SONSHINE...

Its nearly Sunday and again I am late with the new palette release from TCR...here's my design inspired by palette #72 and this week I have included a sketch template for those of you who like to collect them. Hope you have a fun with it and would love to see your designs using it!

Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a fantastic sunday!

I MAY NOT BE GLAMOROUS BUT...

I am always honest and true...oops just a tad late in loading up my DT digi for The Color Room, here is palette #71 and my layout for this week hope you guys like it. I used a cute little airplane element that I photographed to create a digi embellishment from but you can get the real macoy from my friend Cozzie's online store called Hand Made Halo in a bronze colour only :)

I had a lovely weekend catching up with friends, I saw Tan and met her new bubba boy Jed who is just way too cute for words, so teeny tiny compared to Tige but for how long I wonder...I am guessing this kid is going to grow up quickly and tower over Tige but for now Tige looks massive compared... here is a pic of the 2 boys exactly 6 months apart!

Here's one of the two of them testing out their vocal cords, I wonder who has the biggest set of lungs?

and here is my precious little grumble BUMble bee, feeling very sorry for himself because he is teething at the mo! OUCH!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful week! xox
