LOOK I'VE BEEN PLAYING WITH SCISSORS!

Well, that was fun! Its been oooh I don't know maybe 5 months since I have made a traditional scrapbook page! I know wow hey...but I definitely describe myself as a digi kinda gal these days...however thats not to say I don't enjoy getting up close and personal with my scrappy stash every now and then! I can now guarantee there will be a few hybrid pages over the coming months because something exciting has happened!!!

Some of you may know that Sissy Sparrows are digital scrapbook designers. I hang with these creative ladies everyday playing with their digital scrapbook kits...being on their team is something I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to do as they are incredible ladies and my all time fave designers.

Anyways when I caught up with Jules and Don in November last year they were telling me all about their new venture in making rubber stamps! So I have been waiting with baited breath for the release and its so very very exciting to finally be able to share with you all that Sissy Sparrows has a great new collection of rubber stamps available for purchase at their etsy store to check them out click the banner below...

So of course I had to make a page using them, here is the hybrid version.

 'A Popular Look'

Materials Used for Hybrid Version:

The gorgeous rubber stamp set I used...omg love love love it!

These stamps really are fabulous to play with. They are perfect for scrapping but would be equally as versatile to use in art journal or mixed media style projects so are well worth checking them out!

Below is the digital version kinda like my prototype for the hybrid version...

THIS DAY...

Hi Everyone welcome to 2014! 

I am lovin' this year already, its been a great start with a nice long holiday at home lounging about and enjoying a few shandies the perfect thirst quencher in the summer months. I have to say though I really feel for my southern Aussie buddies the heat wave has been like an inferno with temperatures soaring into the high 40˚C and Adelaide was declared the hottest place on the planet today at a high of 47˚C...jeepers thats nuts! So to all you guys down there sending you lots of chilly ice, 

you poor things! 

Over the christmas period I have done very little just for fun scrapping its all been DT work or designing my new website which I will share with you all soon, (very exciting) but I thought I'd have a play with some of my Anna Aspnes stash. I have been hoarding her delicious products for goodness knows how long and then realised that I hadnt done a current page using the Sahlin Studio Monthly Kit feature for January 'A Wonderful Day' which is one of my all time faves of Krista's.  So figured why not pair the two together in a project. Here it is... my just because I wanna scrap page using lots of Anna Aspnes goodies and of course the feature kit and well...have to say am loving this one!
