2 Layouts...

Finally some layouts to share....

These 2 layouts were created using a 5 layout class kit from the very talented Geraldine Pasinati. I was booked to attend her class, but due to the hubby and his work commitments, I was not able to attend however Geraldine put a kit aside for me.

This first layout - Our Special Day was created using gorgeous Websters Papers & some Twiddleybitz. I changed a couple of things (flowers etc) but apart from that I am totally in love with this layout of my beautiful niece Penelope.

Our Special Day - Layout September 2011

This next layout was created using more Websters Papers and with a couple of changes again, I scrapped another layout that I am totally in love with.

Layout - September 2011

Anyhow that's all for today, I still have 3 layouts to complete to finish off the kit.
So until next time take care of you and happy scrapping.

Here come's the bride....Twiddleybitz style!

After endless hours of hand sewing and beading may I present to you.....

My bride to be Miss Charlotte....

I have had the Twiddleybitz form dress for a while now and just had to wait for the right moment of "MOJO" to arrive to bring it all together. I have seen many beautiful Miss Charlotte form dresses put together with paper and the likes, but wanted to make her a real bride with bridal tulle & delustered satin. I also wanted a stand for her, like a pedestal in a bridal shop where the train hangs & flows from the back of the dress to the floor, and what better to use than the Twiddleybitz cup cake for 1 stand. I have also incorporated some Twiddleybitz Nero into embellishments of her dress and on the table.

Now if you are one for a challenge, then head on over to the Twiddleybitz ning and check out the gallery for more photos for if you can name all the traditional something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue then I have a RAK up for grabs. Post your answers in the comments section and first to name all 4 correctly wins.

Anyhow that's all for now, so until next time take care of you and happy scrapping.

More Twiddley goodness...

Hello again, after a flat chat weekend/week that has just passed I thought I would share with you my latest work created for Twiddleybitz.

Paperific was a HUGE event for Twiddleybitz and I was lucky enough to run the make and take table on the Sunday. I have to say that I think every customer that passed through the stand was blown away with the amazing work that was on display by all the talented DT girls.

I created the following work:

New Little Princess - Layout

Once again more pics of my beautiful new niece Penelope Lee have been scrapped!

New Family Member - Layout

I also created some more ATC's for the show, unfortunately I forgot to photograph them before sending them on to Nic. There is 5 in this set and they had the Steam Punk theme happening.

Steam Punk ATC - this one belongs to a set of 5

And this last layout was created just for me, I could have sent it on the road with Nic, but have decided that I will likely re-create and use it for a upcoming class at Scrappers Delite.

Discover - Layout

So until next time take care of you and happy scrapping.

A new baby...

Hello All,
Without any further delay I present to you my beautiful new niece Penelope Lee Simmonds. Penelope arrived on August 5th 2011 weighing in at a healthy 6Lb 12Oz into the arms of her loving parents Bec (my sister) and Lee.
After what seemed like the impossible they were finally blessed with the most delightful and gorgeous baby girl.

And this is the keepsake tin that I made for Penelope. Bec had seen many of these that I had made in the past and all she wanted was one of her own for the new bubs. I had great pleasure in making this and knowing that finally she had one.

Anyhow that is all for today, will be back in the next day or so to upload some scrapping work that I had completed for Paperific, along with some other bits and pieces.

Until next time take care of you.

"HUGE" scrapping update....

Hello to all...

Many apologies to all that pop past my blog and see that nothing has been updated or added in so long, but as per always life is flat chat with heaps happening.

So to get back into the swing of things, I have a few projects to share that I created for Twiddleybitz. They attended the Perth Papercraft Expo in July and this is what I created:

ATC's - Set of 4 with a winged things theme.
Birds 1 & 2.

ATC's - Set of 4 with a winged things theme.

Butterflies 1 & 2

To create these ATC's I used the following products:

Bluebird Silhouettes - BIR006
Mini Multi Butterfly Pack (7) - BUT008
Fine Fern Leaves Assorted - FER002
Itty Bitty Alphas - ALPHA005 - Choc
Itty Bitty Alphas - ALPHA005 - Pink

The next 2 layouts are so different to each other. I thought that creating 2 totally different style layouts would show how versatile the ever so yummy Twiddleybitz chipboard is to use.

Tuppence for Pa.

For this layout I used the following products:
Butterfly Small pack (8 pack) - BUT006
Paris Lamp Post Short - GAt001
Fairy Temple Wrought Iron Border - BOR015

Tonka - build 'em' tough.

For this layout I used the following products:
Black Alpha's - ALP002
Bulldozer Silhouette Cut - TRA003

Winter Garden Shadow Box.

To create the shadow box I used the following products:
Shadow Box Plain - SBP003
Funky Attic Town House - FAH001
Hanging Sign Post Lantern - HLP001
Bluebirds Silhouettes - BIR006
Piece of fence from Arch Gate with Fence - GAT004.

So there you have it, I have quite a bit more to share but that will have to wait until after Melbourne's Paperific Expo. Speaking of which are you attending?? Be sure to get on down as Twiddleybitz will once again be show casing all the amazing DT work and plenty of Twiddley goodness on offer.

Until next time, take care of you and happy scrapping.
