BOUNTIFUL BUNTINGS | INSPIRATION CHALLENGE

This month has been a whirlwind of fun over at The Lilypad. Being one of the new Polly’s I have been finding my footing in the forum and am nearing the close on my very first hosted challenge the MARCH INSPIRATION CHALLENGE. I called it Bountiful Buntings and we have been having tonnes of fun building and customising our very own bunting pages. Here is a link for you to check it all out and with only 3 days left to get your sub in for a chance at winning some fabulous coupons to The Lilypad Store, its time to get scrapping!
I’m also sharing some more pages I've made over the past week for the latest 50% OFF SOSN sales at TLP and a few just because pages I wanted to share. Click on the images for full credit listings.
Thanks for checking out my latest pages. Have a fantastic week ahead!

SOME SIMPLE BUT SPECIAL MOMENTS CAPTURED.

Ok...so it’s November already! Ummmmm please tell me I’m not the only one in a spin. I am already shopping for Christmas and getting ready to unwind from the whirlwind that was 2017!

Dan and I have been busy in and around our little house doing some cosmetic fixes just to tide us over until the renovations start. It’s been fun designing the new kitchen and bathrooms and nutting out a study/ reading/ library nook and finding ways to add creative storage solutions within this little space, I have to say a cheeky tipple or two has helped with the creative brain storming on this and we've managed to come up with some really cool wall shifting to accomodate all these things.

We’ve also been cray cray busy in the yard kulling the jungle a little bit. I feel like the house can breath now and with the clear out of some really overgrown bushes & vines we've been able to visualise the planting easier. I really wanted to start on the garden asap so that by the time the house is completed the garden will be well and truly on its way to becoming a tropical oasis. It's been tonnes of fun learning about plants and I've enjoyed watching the fruits of our labour in the front yard grow over the past 8 months... gotta love our weather here its a veritable hothouse for plants to flourish.

I promise to share some photos when the fences are done which is planned for next week, bring on the paint compressor and good old Monument paint hehe.

Anyway onto some pages I want to share with you, these are some just for fun creations created using Simple Pleasure Designs by Jennifer Fehr. This one is my CT page for CSI: Color Stories, Inspiration Casefile #241.

THAT WAS THEN THIS IS NOW

For a long time I have been admiring the gorgeous kits by SIMPLE PLEASURE DESIGNS by Jennifer Fehr, swooning over how pretty and whimsical they are. Then Jennifer the creative soul behind the designs struck up a convo with me and we decided I had better join her team...wow now I can play with her beautiful product to my hearts content. I have been with her for a few months now but I just haven’t had a chance to keep up with my personal blog so I thought I had better start up again. This post is showcasing Jenn’s latest gorgeous bundle THAT WAS THEN, THIS IS NOW which is all about cherishing the simple moments in life.

SCRAPPING SOME CHALLENGES

Happy New Year everyone hope you had a magical Christmas and new year celebrations. For us it was a quiet one and now we have some family visiting from down south so lots of lazy days at the beach and by the pool ahead of us...my favourite time of the year! 

I've also been hauled up inside gravitating towards the aircon its been just a touch hot the last few days so its been the perfect time to have a play with my two favourite challenges, CSI: Color Stories and Inspiration January casefile and the Kraft Plus January Moodboard.

Here is what I made lazying in front of the PC lapping up the coolness of our trusty aircon...

MY TOP TWELVE PAGES FOR 2016

Hi Everyone, I know its been a while since I posted here, jeepers what a hectic year! I only have one kidlet and with Tige having started school its been all systems go. Tige has been learning to read and write which is so exciting (Bring on Roahl Dahl) and making new friends at school has really taken on a whole new level of what it means to be a parent. Those little preppies are just too cute, but all year I found myself sounding like a broken record honestly who are these little peeps and where did our babies go, more to the point...'where has the time gone?’ One minute your living breathing and soaking up this ever changing baby thinking you’ve got this I wont miss a beat and then in the blink of an eye just when you're not looking that baby is off to school! 

With school came a whole different set of rules. Learning to read, write and behave responsibly was on the daily menu and you as a parent are caught up in this whirl wind of 28 kids all vying for a place in this vast new world. Everyday Tige is becoming more a big boy than the little fella that was my shadow. He has made some great friends, explored new things now with a part of his life, to a certain extent independant of momma bear (insert sad face here).

He is gone all day... only to dump and run when he gets home and off he goes to play outside riding his bike with the local kids, heyyyy cooooo-eeee mumma misses you! He is swimming so well and is so competitive I wonder if it might be squad for him in a few short months. I just feel like were into a whole new phase of family, the ‘mum taxi’ era is gaining momentum!

So I thought before the year slips into a new one I’d better get this butt into gear and share some pages that I have created over the last twelve months that really resonate with me. Each of these are created using my own digital designs and Page Drafts templates by The Nifty Pixel. Some of these pages you may not have seen yet given I have been realllllllly slack in posting on my personal blog, (I do miss it around here btw) and I hope you enjoy seeing them all!
There ya go a little look at the year we had. I must admit I am not the best at documenting my year  properly maybe I can make that my New Years Resolution scrap a major event from each month rather than revisiting old photos, better luck next year... lol!

Have a fabulously festive Christmas everyone and a Wonderful New year.

I'VE BEEN PLAYING AGAIN!

Gawwwww-sh, its been weeks yet again since my last post so am well over due to share some pages. Thought I'd start with my latest digital collection release 'ADRIFT'. This whimsical nautical inspired collection is full of moody colour and over spiling with flotsam and jetsam. Here are a couple of pages I created using it, I love the brush set soooooo many yummy textures to play with.

I have also been playing along in some fabulous challenges Kraft Plus and CSI: Color, Stories, Inspiration. Here are my subs for those. P.S Did you know I sponsor the Kraft Plus challenge every month providing a $10 coupon to the digital winner, ooooh how cool is that so I hope you'll come and join us!

The June challenge is all about adding puzzle pieces and of course adding Kraft paper to your design. Here is my page I had to join in because a designer buddy Karen of Snickerdoodle Designs made some cool puzzle templates which I had to use, OMG they were the bomb!

FRESH START

Trying to find a new schedule with Tige's schooling and design time has been a little tricky. Trickier than I thought. I seriously think I was delusional when I thought I'd have more time up my sleeve with Tige attending school 5 days a week, but jeepers nope thats furtherest from the truth...what's with that?!

School pick up and drop off is what nightmares are made of, hassling for a parking spot even a block away can at times be difficult let alone negotiating the bloody morning peak hour. Arriving at school and watching Tige with his new school buddies before the bell rings is the ultimate reward....Oh wow what a fun time we've been having.I am slowly meeting other mum's (some my age group yay!) and I'm now on the P&C as a volunteer plus I put my hand up for the Risk Management Stategy Committee which I am sure will be really interesting. So begins school life!

After the morning rush I hit the computer and well its been all systems go designing lots of new digital collections and nifty packs. March is a big month so I thought I'd share some of my current pages using all my latest products. Hope you like them :)
'Highest High'
'Key To My Heart'
'Fun in The Sun'
'Cranky Pants'
'You Make Me Smile'
'He Is...'
'Art & Craft Day'

ONE PAGE FOR EVERY MONTH

Happy New Year everyone!
Hope you all had a great 2015 and an even better start to 2016.

It was a great year. One with many highs and some real lows but overall it was a year that has prepared me for the one ahead. I feel optimistic and positive which is a first in a real long time for me, funny how a few sessions with the brain doctor can get you to turn your thinking around hehe. I am now filled with excitment not dread and can't wait to see what my future holds. 2016 will be a year of personal growth and re-learning to respect and love myself again.

To start off 2016 I thought I'd look at 2015 in review and pick a few choice pages from each month. These are the ones that resonated with me and hope you like them too. 
Love to you all Em xo
