Tara's Colour challenge @ Scrapbook Savvy...

YES, I did manage another layout {and a couple more for my CT stuff for Feb} this one is for Tara's Colour Challenge @ Savvy, they are also having a Cybercrop - which ends on Thursday...

The colours were different and not what I'd usually put together, so I am reall loving how it turned out! Using a few of Eb's techniques that I learnt too ;)

Raided my "shop" again - this time I used a Charms Creations Red & Orange Heavenly Heart...

and an Orange And Cream Lovely Lollipop too!

Used a bit of texture paste.... and twirled some string ;)

Thanks for looking!

Donna's Puzzle Challenge @ Challenge Heaven!

At the moment Challenge Heaven are having a Cybercrop and over the weekend I thought I would try and have a play [Instead of work, work work ;)] Seriously I did need a break from creating for Charms, and I thought it would be a great way to showcase what I'll have to sell :)

SO, this month I am donating a prize to one of the Cybercrop Challenges - make sure you check it out!

I decided to go for a different challenge though.... Donna's! I've never tried a Puzzle Challenge before!

It's all about "NEW" beginnings... and I thought it would be a good chance to use the baby chick picks I took at my Aunty Bronny's house... the kids adored her/him so much! they would go down to check the eggs and feed the chooks, but I really think they wanted a cuddle with this little guy/gal!

I have used one of my Charms Creations Book Paper Fabulous Flowers which will be on sale this Friday night!

And on the left, you will see a Creamy Cream Lovely Lollipop :)

and was stoked to use this sticker that I've had :)

Thanks for looking!

"Super Star" Sneaks...

Thanks to Chei for coming up with the name...

and thanks to the girls that suggested I make some... I was a bit wary of making them, because they do take a bit more time than the heavenly hearts... but I do like the outcome of them :)

They are approximately 3in wide & will cost $3.50 each :)

You can also request stars with NO buttons...

IS THERE A COLOUR YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE??

Would love to know what you think of them :)

Just because...

I was having a play.... with this fab heart mask that I was given by the lovely Ebony Van Der Starre when I visited her the other week.... I love it....

I took the colours and pattern of the dress and the water gun to create the page... and LOVE the outcome :)

thank goodness Mum had the perfect mists for it - yes, another one from my scrappy night :)

The Lil Red Rocket Purple spotty button & the twine was perfect with my Charms Creations Green & Cream Lovely Lollipop and Blue Fabulous Flower...

and with creating this layout - I invented a new Heavenly Heart!!! Love the colour combo - hope some of you like it too!

Eb's Pinterest Challenge...

you can check it out HERE

and this is my interpretation...

This is one of the other layouts I was creating last night at the Scrap night :)

almost used a whole set of alphas for the title haha... lucky i had enough for what I wanted!

I've used Charms Creations Grassy Green & Denim Lovely Lollipops... {oops bit of hessian in the photo hehe}

lots of green in this one!

and just for Eb {& for Leah Cameron} a barcode flag ;)

The Color Room #94...

I've finally had a chance to play again at The Color Room - my first one for the year :) You can check out the Colour Room Palette for this week HERE

I was just starting this at the end of a fabulous scrappy night at the Mt Gambier Scrappers get together last night - when I realised it was time to pack and go home.... so I finished it off when I got home!

I've used one of my Charms Creations Typewriter Fabulous Flowers & a White & Cream Lovely Lollipop... along with a GORGEOUS Prima Flower that I was excited to see {and bought} from the Local Scrappy Shop here in MT G! yay!

and look - its not often but I used my hand writing for part of the title :) Like how it turned out :)

got an old stamp out.... think it's Ali Edwards... such a cute little quote :)

Thanks for looking! Nice to scrap again!!! and nice that it was with others and not being interrupted by the kids every five seconds!!!
