COLD HANDS WARM HEART

My latest collection with Jennifer from Simple Pleasure Designs is a theme I find tricky to relate to living in the sub tropics. But I tell ya what I had so much fun making this Winter inspired collection called COLD HANDS WARM HEART. Its filled with beautiful winter elements perfect for those of you living in the cooler climates. For me somewhat of a dream to experience snow unless I travel to the opposite end of the country, hehe but I did manage a few pages using some photos I took of Tige inan impromptu dedication to the winter season, him wearing my old beanie!

SNOWFLAKE KISSES

CANDY CANE TESTER

WARM HUGS HERE

If you want to grab the collection you can still get it on sale until Cyber Monday over SWEET SHOPPE DESIGNS, check it out here.

ZIPADEEDOODAH | OH WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY

It is so exciting to tell you all about this months Featured Designer at Sweet Shoppe Designs Blog. My lovely friend and fellow designer Jennifer Fehr is debuting there and I’ve made it no secret of how much I love her designs, they are just perfection!

For Jenn’s Exposé she landed the letter ‘Z’ in the 2018-2019 Alphabet Series. Jennifer ended up creating the cutest and happiest, most wonderful and satisfactual kit called Zipadeedoodah. Reading up on how she came up with the idea is so sweet and I love this whimsical walk in the flowers with some very cute little friends in tow. The palette is so pretty with pops of Cyan, Burgundy and a splash of Yellow for sunshine! I couldn’t help but make a few pages, this kit honestly got me all inspired and its a FWP so be sure to check out her store at Sweet Shoppe Designs and especially the Trimmings Pack designed to coordinate with Zipadeedoodah...the previews are at the end of this post for you to swoon over. 

I’ve been lucky enough to be on Jenn’s team for the past few years. Her kits are pure magic, so pretty and whimsical and bright. No surprise there because thats exactly what Jennifer is. She is one of the kindest most sweet people I have met in a really long time. You know when you find a kind soul because they inspire you to be a better person. The first page I’m sharing is dedicated to Jennifer and what a wonderful friend and a shining light she truly is! The rest of the pages are of me and my boys, you know the ones I’m always scrapping about, the loves of my life! ♡

BETTER TOGETHER

This week was the start of Spring for us here in Australia. Its been a hot one with temps soaring already and winds that have proven tricky for the firies. Bush fires have taken hold in several areas in Queensland and some as close as Canungra, Binna Burra and moving toward the Lamington National Park. I know of friends in Mount Tamborine that are on high alert and our car mechanic is watching homes being felled in Beechmont where he lives. Its frightening and very worrying, so my thoughts go out to everyone affected by these devastating fires.

This post however is about a beautiful collection called BETTER TOGETHER which was released by Simple Pleasure Designs by Jennifer Fehr this weekend. Its a refreshing change from the past couple days and is bursting in colour and with blooms a plenty ideal for Spring pages but is the perfect collection for scrapping those nearest and dearest to you.  Here is what I created about the two boys I hold dear and near to me.

’THIS IS US'

‘BIG GOB’

‘X2 HEARTS’

To grab this collection scoot over to Sweet Shoppe Designs and grab it on sale.

WILD CHILD

I love the great outdoors I’m just the kinda gal that prefers to sit and watch the antics fold out in front of me. Jennifer from Simple Pleasure Designs has re-released an oldie but a goodie, INTO THE WOODS and this bundle is a little ripper. Its filled with camping, hiking and outdoor adventure inspired goodness.

I decided that since I don’t have too many photos of that variety that I would think outside the box on this theme and create a few pages that work well with the elements but the sentiment is a play on the outdoors theme, so here are my creations with that in mind.
