Base jumping ...

There's a new challenge over at Scrapz.Biz and it's called Base Jumping ... sounds quite extreme hey :-).  It's really fun and has proved really popular with the forum scrappers :-)   How it works - we provide a 'base' from which everyone begins, and then everyone adds photos, embellishments and more paper as desired. 

This was my first time at setting a 'base jump' challenge:

The base I created:

Which then became this:

I've used Crate Paper Farmhouse range for this page ... with some other bits and pieces too :-)

It's so interesting to see how others build on the base that's provided :-).

Well, I haven't had much to share lately because I haven't scrapped for over a month now.  I'm hoping that now my sale is finished and Christmas pressies have all been made etc etc ... I might find some time and some mojo ;-)

Have a great weekend!  Thanks for visiting :-)

This is our happily ever after :-)

Recently, we had a family photo shoot done with our favourite photographer LaBelle Photographics.  As always, I am super impressed with the end result - I love them all :-).  We all had so much fun on the day - the kids just loved the balloons!

Here's a peek ... I'm sure the pics will pop up on some pages before too long :-)







I think I need to get family photos done more regularly - kids just grow too fast.  How often does everyone else get pics taken?

Thanks for visiting :-) :-)

Last Rainbow Splendour SALE for the year :-)



Good morning and welcome to the last Rainbow Splendour sale for the year :-).  Thank you for popping in :-) ... just a reminder that the sale will last all weekend until Monday morning 9am ... so there will be plenty of time to have a look around :-).  The products this time are a mix of some select 'old favourites', some NEW goodies and my Christmas range.
Please browse through the items for sale and if you would like to buy some goodies, email me with your order (Please note, my email addy has change since the last sale).
With your order, please include:
