Hello & Welcome to another New Year. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know about everyone else but I feel the years a going by fast and furious, the winter's have seemed to have disappeared leaving us with what feels like to me countless days of summer. I get that we live in Queensland and its way more tropical than other parts of Australia, however I still miss a half descent winter that I would have had in Western Australia.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My new goal this year is to craft whether its hot or not, ha ha ha now there's a plan and to keep up to date with my Blog posts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With that in mind, I thought I had better start with playing catching up and posting all my Design Team projects that I did for Scrapmatts.</div>

My recent creations is this 80th birthday card I created for a friend. I created the background using some watercolour paper along with Tim Holtz distress oxide sprays, glitter washi tape as well as some mixed media style stamps and distress ink.</div>

Just a side angle to show all the layering I've done. Old Making Memories foam stamps work beautifully with distress oxides which is how I created the 80. Simply stamped on watercolour paper and then cut out.<br />

Hi & Welcome</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its been a little while since my last post, so much for life slowing down once the kids leave home....no such thing. My reasoning behind this is, because you are no longer needing a schedule and times just seems to get away from you when you don't have one. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The page I created this month for Scrapmatts uses a picture taken on Mother's Day, It was great to spend the day with my mum which I haven't had the chance to do in years. That's another thing with time, in a blink of an eye its just gone and you don't want to look back and wish you had done things differently. We all need to be making the time to spend with our parents before they to are gone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We started of the day with breakfast at home, then we headed of to Brisbane for a lovely lunch at the Six Acres Restaurant followed by some shopping in the city. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
For the background paper I have used one of the new Prima Fruit Paradise - In Season paper. As much as I love doing mixed media its nice to have a background that you don't have to do to much to. I have also used papers from the Mintay Collection Life's Stories. </div>

Hello & Welcome</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well it's been a little while since my last post, hubby and I took a road trip across to Western Australia. Just the two of us and our fur babies, we loved it. Okay there were parts on the Nullarbor that I wish it would just end but other than that it was a great experience. We travelled over here way back in 1992 and whilst somethings had changed so much hadn't. Like mobile service OMG who would have thought that this day and age that there would be none. So at the first port of call with any mobile service I downloaded some Netflix....as you do...to help you get through those long boring sections. Anyway I had better get on with it and show you what I have been working on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started these pages last year, but ran out of time getting them finished and totally forgot my Design Team post. This is why they are Christmas Themed, however I'm sure there are a few of you out there who haven't Scrapped last years Christmas photos.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I have used quite a bit of mixed media product along with some fussy cutting to get the layers onto this page. I loved using the new Distress Oxides spray in Iced Spruce. Love the effect you get .</div>

Today I have a gift bag and card to share with you using the Graphic 45 Collection Imagine. Love this collection and it worked beautifully for what I had in mind.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These little gift bags a great as they double up as a envelope for the card as well as giving you something top pop you gift in. This was being sent across to Western Australia for my mum to give to someone who is turning 50 so I have left ribbon decorating to her. </div>

I don't know which range it was, but it was a older Kaiser sticker sheet, apparently we only get the number 1 - 10, no zero which wasn't very helpful. So I had to used the number 10 and cut it down so I could have the number 40. I think Kaiser should re-think their sticker sheets and add a zero.</div>

I've used a watercolour sheet that has been printed with a resist flower pattern along with gold foil. I have used Prima Bloom mists in Tangerine and Sunshine followed by texture paste. Once this was dry I have used some old numbers that I had laying around. Funny enough I created this background a few months ago but hadn't yet had the chance to use it. When going through my photos I thought this one worked beautifully with it.</div>

Here in the close up you can just see the little spots of gold. I have also stamped using archival ink. The pearl flourish I've used is a really old Prima one that I have jazzed up. I have also done a lot of splattering of paint to build up texture.<br />

I have been having some fun using the Kaiser foam art paper, along with the Heartfelt Creations large Peony die and stamp. These turn flowers turn out so beautifully, if you haven't tried it, give it ago. I also used to different Lindy's embossing powders, I love the softness you can achieve with these powders. </div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">
I also used a 13Arts template, I think it worked beautifully with the background paper.</div>

Well fellow crafters, sorry this is short and sweet however I need to get this post done before I catch my plane, and as mums there always seems so much to do before we head off on a holiday. </div>

Happy Scrapping!!!!</div>

Today I share a gift set I have created using the lovely Scrapmatts products.</div>

For the gift bag I have just used a paper lunch bag and inserted some cardstock to give the bottom strength, this will also double up as an envelope for the card.</div>

Good morning and welcome to my Scrapmatt's Design Team projects.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well its been an absolute awesome storm season again here in QLD. It seems we just get the internet back up and running and BOOM we have either lost it or its intermittent. Then we have the dreaded call to Telstra, no one likes that, and after going through the usual stupid questions they finally agree its not working!!!! Anyway we've all been through it so I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about. Needless to say its been a struggle getting my blog posts up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First up I'm sharing a layout I have created using a collection of papers I've had in my stash to do with the Beach. As well as the lovely Scrapmatts chippies. I even pulled out my typewriter that I picked up for $10 and did some journalling, I sometimes get a little lazy with that side of my scrapbooking.</div>

Welcome </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wow, can you believe we are already nearing the end of the first month of the New Year! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know whether its just speeding up as we get older and we are just trying to pack more into life, or are we slowing down and just not achieving as much. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway on that note, I was able to grab some time to get creative. After clearing away all the Christmas decorations, I came across quite a few items of packaging that I thought it would be such a shame just to chuck in the bin. With that in mind I've created a keepsake cylinder, which once housed my daughters new boom box. I thought it would be nice to to get some of the treasured baby keepsakes out storage and pop them into something a little nicer as well as easier to find.</div>

I have coated the chipboard with Nuvo Embellishment mouse in Mother of Pearl, as well as Prima's Memory Hardware Powder, Marquise Blue and inked the edges with some green ink.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I also created a Christmas page documenting our Christmas Day traditions. Although I think this year we were a little on the lazy side due to the heat.</div>

<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Our theme this month is, as always,</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: 13.86px;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>"Anything Mixed Media Goes"</b></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: 13.86px;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I created this month a mixed media canvas.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have used some cork board paper this side of the canvas, I have also created a pocket using the chicken wire so that I can pop my unopened mail into it.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The big Monogram word Family, has little reminder written into each letter, ie don't forget to buy milk etc </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hope you've enjoyed looking at my project and I look forward to seeing your lovely creations.</span></div>

Hi & Welcome</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well we have been battling loads of wet weather here in Sunny QLD, not that Im overly complaining, however its a little hard to get a decent shop of projects when its continues gloom skies. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I'm up on the Scrapmatts blog with this months projects, I have created a mixed media page and some more Christmas Cards.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This page was created using Lemoncraft paper range Every Day Spring, love the vibrant colours in this collection.</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have also used muslin that I sprayed with some Prima Bloom mists along with Prima bling and flowers. The Scrapmatts Net03 Chipboard used has been treated with the Finnabair mixed media Patina Effects kit. This packs comes with 3 lovely little pots of coloured texture paste and the texture is unlike any other texture paste I've used.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Up next are some more Christmas Cards I have made using the BoBunny Carousel Christmas Collection. I love how BoBunny gives you so many paper elements to cut out, that you really don't need a lot of embellishments to make something beautiful. I have however used these cute little stick stars from Scrapmatts. You can find them over <a href="http://papertoleaustralia.com/search/?q=sticks" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

Hi & Welcome </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well its the start of a new week, last week I came down with a throat virus that had me reliving my childhood days, minus my mummy to look after me. I'm now day 4 into it and honestly it can leave anytime soon. Anyway with that all been said lets move onto some fun stuff.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our Challenge went live on Friday and our Design Team have created some gorgeous inspiring projects to get you in the mood for crafting. We are getting close to Christmas so its a good time to start thinking about getting those handmade gifts started.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the anything goes challenge I created a layout, I have used a few different mixed media products on the background although trying to to detract from the gorgeous Fabscraps paper.</div>

Hello & Welcome </h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today I am sharing with you a mixed media page I created for <a href="http://creativeartistemixedmedia.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Creative Artist Mixed Media Blog</a>. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I created this page for my daughter, show casing her fur baby Sam when he was just a few weeks old. He is a Labrador Kelpie Cross and has the most gorgeous personality, even now at 2 years old.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Good morning and welcome.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I would like to share with you two layout that I created for my Scrapmatts Design Team work as well as playing along with Show us your Stuff this month. Don't often get time to play along at Challenges but I absolutely loved the sketch and couldn't resist.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is what I created.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using a picture of my husband taken last year when we did a little trip up the North coast. He loves fishing and would love to buy a property here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I rotated the sketch and used only one photo. I have used the new Prima St Tropez range and the background has been inked and stamped using Tim Holtz distress ink along with Prima wax. My handmade item is the dyed muslin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

My next page was created using ScrapBerry's Primavera Collection.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
