Some awesome DT news to share !!!

Im very excited to announce  to the scrappy world that I have been lucky  enough to pick up a DT spot with My2angels for the next  6 months.

Tracy started out with an  eBay business and has built  it up with a fabulous  arrangement of products, truly unique embelishments and the fastest  shipping you would ever want!!!  How lucky am I!!!  I will be inspiring you with  product reviews, some  How to's, and some fun tutorials so stay tuned. 

Take a look around the shop  and check out the amazing array of charms and embellishments , and some wicked masks, crafters templates, paints, sprays and all sorts of goodies - you wont be sorry!!!

And I  have a cute little peek at one of the charms available ....I  used a lot of old scrap papers and  did some misting in the background and some stamping - I love that for a grungy background for boys....and then added this super cute little charm from My2angels . 
Check out the mists - and  the FABULOUS prices HERE

And if you like the stamped backgrounds - Tracy has a great collection of the new Kaiser stamps ( and others of course!!)

and a closeup of the little cap....

Back later with some more  .......in the meantime -  pop into the shop and say HI!!!!!

Some final show and tell

and here are a couple more that I have done in the past few weeks.....

My beautiful Mum turns 70  shortly  so I scrapped this for her - us 3 kids - my  fabulous brother  and sister - love them to pieces!!!

and I took this one of the kids on the top of the hill near us  a  few months ago - i just love it - they look like great adventurers - hahah

Thanks Lauren Bell for the perfect lettering !!  What would I do without you???

and one or two for the boys

I recently did a class with the divine Miss Krissy - clever  beyond words!!  I always LOVE her  boy layouts so I did a boy class with her and used  the leftovers from her class kit - cos shes so good to me!!  I managed this fabulous class layout and then  heaps more with the leftovers - One of my FAVORITE boy ranges in a while!!!!

The photo is just perfect for the layout and another Andrea Thompson shot!!!!

and here is what I managed with the scraps.....

Lots of misting and stamping......loving those colours and one of my fave  photos of the boys and their Mcr boy cousins

and  this one.....

my spunky monkey Daniel......

A couple of bright ones just to SHOCK you!!!

Im not known for my bright layouts - I love them when other people do them - I just dont seem to be able to pull them off so well....but here is one I did recently  - I bribed the kids - they could pull silly faces if I got one nice one.....took a while!!!!

And a cutie of Teleah and her cousin Jessica.....

and they just keep coming......

Here are  some more layouts - I have been working my way through some of my old papers - I figured I just cant keep buying more when Im not using whats in my stash!!!  Hmmm....could take a while....anyway - here are two layouts I cranked out with one of the paper packs in my stash!!

and a layout  dedicated to the pink one in the family!!!!

Donnas clever daughter Mandy took these pics when we were in Dalby last year - Teleah loved being dressedup, hair done and then photographed - SUCH a girl!!!!
