Cute as a cupcake

This is my little girl's bestie. They just adore each other to bits :-). 


This page was for the third challenge for the Do or Die comp {that is nearly all finished} over at Scrapz.Biz.


I used a Scrapz Ticklez kit from a couple of months ago.  These kits are just fantastic ... I get soo many pages out of them!



As I said, this comp is nearly finished - this week is the last week. BUT ... that means we are starting something new soon!!!  Check this out:


This is a non-elimination competition ... so come on over and join in the fun!!!!!  See all the details HERE.  Would love to see you play along :-)

Little moments = Big memories

Hello there!   I'm back again with another page from the Scrapz Do or Die competition.  It's been so much fun, it will be a little bit sad when it's all over!

This is my page for the second challenge... 

The pic on this page is the view from our beach holiday unit. Oh how I wish we were there right now! LOL!!


Love those Prima canvas shapes.  I've done a step-by-step using similar shapes ... check it out HERE.  {You have the chance to win a voucher if you play along!!}


I really had fun making this a 'busy' page ... lots of things happening ... lots of different embellishments.


Have a great weekend!
Thanks for visiting :-)

Love the colours in this pic of my little boy.  The red hat is a lovely contrast against the blue sky!


You'll spy some Rainbow Splendour felt chevron in there too :-)

Hope your day is a good one too :-)

Blog Hoppers: It's about TIME

Welcome to the TIME blog hop. I've joined up with a group of crafters to bring you a blog hop every month - with different themes and different inspiration each time :-).

I'm the first one on the blog list today, and there are some other fabulous crafters who are sharing their thoughts and creations as well ... here's the list:

Chloe (you are here)
Karen
Kerri
Marcia
Sharryn
Sonia
Susan
Wendy

Hope you have a great time hopping around to each blog!!

Speaking of TIME, that's our theme this month.

{source}  {aren't these clocks just the CUTEST!!!}

We have lots of phrases about time:

It's about time
Spring time
Summer time
Holiday time
School time
Time out
Tea time
Once upon a time
A waste of time
Take your time
Time stood still
From time to time
The best time

Just to name a few.

I loved this quote ... even though it doesn't mention the actual word, it's about time:

It's so important to make every moment count!

Last year, I decided to take up the 52 week scrappers challenge.  It's all about scrapping one page for every week of the year.  I loved it so much last year, that I'm doing it again this year.  I like to focus on the 'little' things, the things that fill our time, the little events that happen every day.

I've shared pages before, but here are another couple I've done recently.

(this one was for the Scrapbooking Top 50 Amazing Race challenge - it's been heaps of fun already!!)
 

And just to finish, it' an exciting TIME of year for us ... heaps of birthdays in the house!!
Here's a page about one of the recent parties :-) ... oh how I love making the days special for my kids :-). 

(this page was also for the Scrapbooking Top 50 Amazing Race)


That's all from me, thanks so much for visiting!  Now, your next stop along the way is KAREN ...
Happy Hopping!!

Basic Grey

Hello!  Just attempting to catch up on some layouts piling up here!  LOL

This one was for the Basic Grey showcase over at Scrapz.Biz.  I don't use Basic Grey much.  I'm not even really sure why because I got the Paper Cottage range and I really liked it!  If I can get myself past Echo Park and Crate Paper, I think I might just try Basic Grey again ;-) ...


The reds and blues in this range were perfect for these cowboy pics :-) (photos by LaBelle Photographics)


I kept this page fairly simple due to the lovely detailed background page.

Thanks for visiting, have a great week!  School holidays here so we are looking forward to some relaxing days :-)

SUYS

The challenge over at SUYS this month is a quote challenge. "The world is filled with undiscovered wonders. Come, little one, let's find them out together."
Author: EMILIE AHERN

I've played with my Basic Grey Paper Cottage to create this:


Here's the quote:


And my handmade items are the flag from scrAp this! (tucked in behind the star vine) ... and the die cut butterfly is a Lil Red Rocket one :-)


Loving having some mojo around! 
Thanks for visiting, have a great week!
