Hope you all had a very merry christmas and will bring in the new year with love, happiness and a positive outlook. I have a share for you all today, I have had this PP sitting around for ages waiting to get the time to do this LO ( I think it has taken me about 4 years ) - oh well better late than never hey??

I went to the P!NK Funhouse concert back in 2009 - gosh if you all know me well you would know how much I love P!NK and everything that her and her music stands for. Here is my LO:

Double LO - don't ask me what PP I used cause it is too long ago to remember :)

@ 1 Month in* MY CRAZY* life.com

Happy Sunday,

And what a glorious sunday it is today, hope you all enjoy it.
Just a little share for a sunday, I created the challenges for our local scrap group and one of my challenges was to do a photo a day for the month ( cause that seems to be one of the things to do these days), everyone baulked at the idea but some of the girls came through with the goods.
Here is my LO:-

Maybe you should give it a go - it was fun to do and before I knew it I had a completed double page ( cause I love double page LO's). It was a real accomplishment for me to just stick things down without a plan.
Hope you have an amazing weekend, leave me some love so I know you have been here.

An APPLE a Day........

Morning,

What a fantastic Thursday it is......... hope you have all woken up with a spring in your step ready to embrace the amazing.
Speaking of amazing, I have always admired the creative genius of Stacey Young - her scrap work is to die for ( I really have no words to explain really). Well anyway I got super excited when she put a step by step up on her blog so I took it as the perfect opportunity to get inside her brain.
This came at the perfect time because we had a challenge with our local scrap group to design a layout that incorporated your APPLE name into it ( We are Toowoomba ScrapApples and my APPLE name is bappleicious). And this ladies and gents is my layout -

It just goes to prove that everyone has BAD days

Finally used a vine that has been in my stash for 2 years :)

Cute little birdy and other elements

Thank you Stacey for sharing your art and giving me the opportunity to give it a go.
Hope you all have an amazing day and don't forget to leave the love to let me know you have been here.

I have been doing Mixed Media Canvases from Blue Bazaar to help broaden my technique knowledge. I try to not do them exactly the same, I am all about adding my own touch to things. Luise and the team really do put together a great variety of products for you to use which is fantastic cause they are items that I would never think to use myself :)
