As you can see mine aren't overly complicated pages and that's ok.... the main thing is that they are done and I can go back and embellish them whenever I have the urge or the time. 
If you like the idea of putting a dint in your stash and getting your photos scrapped with some great incentives along the way - then stay tuned because Luise is planning another Boot Camp for May!!
So that was our first camping adventure and we definitely plan on doing it again sometime soon!!
I'll be back in a few days with more new layouts.... in the meantime we are going camping :)
using beautiful flocked paper combined with felts and fabric 
love Prima's fabulous foil finish papers
gorgeous glitter paper and stickers combined with bling
and this pop up card I've forgotten to post earlier... 
the inside looks like this
Hope you all have a great week planned.... I have several deadlines due along with heaps of projects to get throuhg so it looks like another full week ahead :0
And this strange looking painting is actually a self portrait lol - done for Gary Reef's challenge where you could only use blue, green, yellow and white to do the portrait. I really like the colour combo and use it alot in my scrapping but found it pretty difficult to use these colours in a portrait and think mine's a bit alien looking....
Inspired by this photo - taken by John De Lambardo 
Also forgot to add this earlier - this is my version of Van Gogh's Sunflowers - scrapping style! again for a Gary Reef challenge 
Terrance who is just 16 yrs old is also waiting to hear if he will qualify for a much needed lung transplant.... please keep him in your prayers!!
And if card making is more your thing, then please assist Sandie Downey with the 'Card Drive' on her blog!
Also you can visit the the Australian Red Cross for many more ways to help those in need.
So if you need some creative inspiration and want the chance to win yourself some goodies.... be sure to check it out!!!
I was really surprised by the beautiful cake Matt and the boys baked and decorated 
made with love just for me :)
Cameron started year 2 and is missing not having his big brother at school with him
In other news I won a fantastic Bella prize pack thanks to Scrapbook Creations Magazine - WooHoo!!!! The box was not much bigger than the regular pizza boxes so I was really surprised to find so much cool stuff inside :)
I even have some layouts to share
This one using loads of sequins and beads - all stitched by hand lol
And here I have used lots of butterfly rub-ons to make - well a bigger butterfly :)
Have a great weekend

I began by applying layers of tissue paper onto a canvas panel which I soaked with a mixture of pva glue and water, then sandwiched in some chipboard clouds between several more layers. I used a paint brush to push the wet paper against the chipboard to get a more defined shape and while everything was still wet I applied watercolour paints which bled into each other creating a great effect - then used Twinkling H2O's to intensify the colour and add some shimmer. Once it had dried I added inks, rub-ons and crystals to embellish with.
I was going in a whole different direction with this at first but was listening to a Prince song and decided to change track... the lyrics that inspired me were "when 2 r in love falling leaves will appear to them like slow motion rain" which I've added to the page, and because it's Prince I had to have some purple LOL so I painted over the blue background I had started with and once dry I put the paper over a cuttlebug folder and sanded away some of the purple paint to reveal the original blues. I drew the branches on with a permanent marker and stuck on leaves cut from shinny silver paper that I added a few drops of LuminArte paint to.
So if you've ever wanted to try mixed media or art journals head on over and sign up now :)

OK make that one less to share ;)
I've also had my very first card set published
But had no idea that one of my cards would be featured on the cover of this month's Cardmaking Stamping & Papercraft mag - pretty cool way to start off the new year :)
and speaking of magazines, you may remember me mentioning that I was asked to do a feature for Scrapbooking Memories mag and recently came across this in a write up for Vol 10 No 11....
