2crafty....in case you missed them

Hello there fellow scrappers...thanks for dropping by today :)

I'm back to share my January DT layouts for 2crafty....in full.  I only shared some sneak peeks before, but can now reveal the full layouts :)

The first one is one of my new favourites :)

 Using Kaisercraft's Pickled Pear collection..... and the photo is of an amazing house (well it's actually way bigger than a house...but mansion doesn't quite seem the right word for it.  Perhaps Homestead is better) near Oberon in NSW where they hold open days for their stunning gardens, twice a year.  I went in spring, but would also love to go back again in Autumn, which is when their next open day is :)

 

 

 

Ok next.....
 

Pic of my gorgeous DD....and funnily enough, the photos were taken on the same day at Mayfield Gardens in the above layout...lol

 

I won't go into the products & technques used on the 2crafty chipboard....you can pop on over to the 2crafty blog HERE if you are interested to check all the info out :)

 

Thanks again for dropping by & for all your lovely comments :)

Until next time....take care!  xx

12 favourites for 2012

Here I am....back again so soon!!
Hope everyone is coping with the horrible heat & not affected by the many bushfires across the country today....stay cool & safe everyone!

As I've been doing for quite a few years now, I thought I'd share some of my favourite layouts that I created during the last year....so 12 layouts for 2012.  Of course, I can't share layouts that are awaiting publication, even though some of them would definitely be on my fav's list.  Thanks go to Linda Langes who also did a recent post on some of her fav's, which reminded me to do mine :)...I think that Alzheimer's is sneaking in on me! lol

In no particular order....

So there you have my fav 12....do you have some favourite layouts/projects you'd like to share also??

A tad late with the remainder December photo a day

Gosh, I really don't think December has been a good month for me with the photo a day.  I seem to have gone off the rails again...lol.  With the lead up to Christmas & then going away on Boxing Day...that's when it all started to go haywire again!  I even missed participating on the FMS FB page for a week or so too :(

But anyways...here are the final 2 weeks worth of pics for December....

15.  Outdoors - At the end of my street

 

 

 

16.  Something you made - Potato Salad for a Christmas get together

 

 

 

17.  On the floor - the start of some Christmas wrapping

 

 

 

18.  Makes you feel merry - 1 week until this jolly fella makes his visit

 

 

 

19.  Something beginning with S - Spring snow

(this one is an old pic from back in October at Blackheath)

 

 

20.  Weather - Hot & dry with a slight wind!

(sunset shot taken at the end of my street)

 

 

21.  Tree - A chinese elm in my backyard

 

 

 

 22.  Decoration - A snow globe with a light that changes colour

(received as a gift from work last year)

 

 

 

23.  Joy is - The gift of giving

 

 

 

24.  Tradition (something you always do) - Lots of indulgence of wine over the Christmas period

(this one wasn't taken by me....stole it off the net!!!  lol)

 

 

 

25.  Lunchtime - Christmas lunch

 

 

 

26.  Mess - Just a small part of it!

 

 

 

27.  How you relax - after a day on the road

 

 

 

28.  Cold - Irish Pear Cider

 

 

 

29.  Hot - Camp kitchen (stirring the pot, as he always does! lol)

 

 

 

30.  Something that made you smile this year - lots of things, but one that really touched me & brought a massive smile to my face was receiving these totally gorgeous cards in the mail all the way from the Ukraine from the super talented Victoria Freze (thanks again Victoria...they mean the world to me! ♥)

 

 

 

31.  Self portrait - Taken at The Grotto along The Great Ocean Road

 

 

Still no scrapping that I can share....sorry!

Hopefully I'll have some soon :)

 

For those in Australia...take care & be safe in this terrible heat wave that we're experiencing....supposed to be a top of 42c here today & 43 tomorrow! (for those who use Fahrenheit, that's 107.6/109.4...which is bloody hot!)

 

Until next time....xxx
