Our Little Mermaid...... Keely :)

Well after converting my lovely friend Martina :) into a fellow SCAL addict lol lol (....think of all the money you can save on carts now matie....more for scrappy supplies) I've spent most of the weekend creating files and not a whole lot of scrapping, oh and having to teach Keely a lil bit of scrapbooking today also, as I had promised and promised and hadn't delivered, so was work work work all day today..... I had made a lovely ARIEL MERMAID SVG for a friend's daughter last night, so decided to do a test cut and voila.... couldn't help myself, I just had to do a layout :) Oh the joy of scrapbooking....sanity restorer!!!!!

Anyhoo, here is the layout, I think ole Ariel turned out quite nicely and then I found some cute lil Jolee's that I had laying in the stash so we got Sebastian and Flounder happening on there too and some very gorgeous lil blingie type shells and OMG starfish....another favourite thing of mine :) Dunno why, they just make me happy :)

Okies, so I'm off for a bit to cook some food for the family...dinner time already OMG can't believe how fast the days go!! Then off to do another layout tonight.....either an owl for Ellen or a Minnie Mouse for Amy, haven't decided which yet, possumly the owl as I haven't had a chance to use it as yet, but...... Minnie is looking rather adorable too, got a new one, she's laying down on her lil tummy, so sweet :)

Til next time....take care and happy crafting :) xo Kris

Can't have the fairytale...may as well have the wall hanging ...

My little girls just love everything Cinderella, so I knocked this one up a few weeks ago for them, just haven't managed to blogify it until now.... I know....slack slack slack.

Anyhooo, here is the wall hanging that I made for Amy & Ellen's Room, they absolutely loooove it :)




Managed to squeeze onto this Kaisercraft shape the gorgeous Carriage with the Horse and Dreams Come True Title for them, then of course, tonnes of Primas and my all time fave items....rhinestone bling :) Enjoy and have a great weekend crafting .... Cheers Kris

My little man Jared....

Well what can I say, I'm a slack mum who loves playing with pink pink and more pink and with 4 girls that is probably a pretty fair statement, but my boy hasn't had too much scrapping done about him, so I popped this one together last night, nothing fancy just straight up layout, this was from 2004 that shows how badly behind in my scrapping I am :(

Anyway, I have just loved this photo for oh so very long, the gorgeous look on his little face just makes me smile at him marvelling over the wonder of such a tiny teensy little frog :)

Well hullo Kitty.....

I had a little play this evening and came up with this cute little kitty cat :)



Sorry about the background, but am a tad bit tired this evening and was just trying to get a pic of the little possum up here for you all. Don't look too closely, I was not very precise when putting this one together, however the pieces are all there and it works, I'm just having a slack night. So anyhoooo here is the Kitty File for anyone who is after it. Enjoy and happy crafting :) Cheers Kris

Our spur of the moment Cyber Crop at Scraps of Us

Well Saturday evening was a blast, Tina and I decided we'd have a 2 layout deadline for the evening, and what the heck, chatter away while we worked, so by 2.30 am I finally had 2 layouts done.

The first one is 'PRECIOUS' Amy when she was a mere 15 minutes or so old



These are some of the files that I used in this layout, Elephant, Precious and Hearts Border.

Click on the words to get the svg files for them.

Okies Layout Number 2....suitably titled "Princess Diva" is all about Miss Ellen on xmas Day moments before she lapsed into a Diva Tirade, it was just precious NOT!!!!!


I have used a Princess Diva Border, basic circles, brackets, photo corner and the bird files on this layout.


Once again, click on the words to get the svg files for these cutting files. I hope you can use them and they make your scrapping day a little brighter :) Thanks for looking....Feel free to leave a comment....Cheers Kris :)

I Declare........I'm in lurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrve!!!

Well I am in total lurve with Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks ..... I went to a demonstration this morning and I am well and truly hooked......that is hook, line and sinker hooked baby :)

OMG what is there that you can't do with Alcohol Inks? This stuff works on anything you can imagine, we played with it on glass slides, alfoil, glossy cardstock, altered projects such as tins, omg the effects you can achieve are totally amazing.

Normally I'm a sucker for pinks/purples, but seriously, everyone there chose pretty much those colours, so I opted for the browns.

I used Latte, Espresso, Butterscotch and a dash of Silver Metallic (which unfortunately shows as bluish blobs in the scan, sorry about that)

Then I stamped on the surface with Versa Black Ink Cube on the stamp and Voila.....here is the result ....


Needless to say, I was pretty impressed with the results, as generally I'm not a stamper by any means, but now I'm hooked and thinking about stamping with a whole fresh new approach. Have to say a HUGE thankyou to Michelle also for her fabulous skills as a demonstrator and for taking the extra time out to answer my questions about stamping and explaining & demonstrating various "previously unknown" products to me, her time and effort was very much appreciated :)

Some new pics I found this week.....free files for you :) Enjoy

Okies so here are the links to the SVGS that you can use in SCAL ..... Enjoy Cheers Kris :)

Bracket

Elephant

Okay, so this was the challenge for the day, to create something kinda like this....

A very quick play resulted in these files

Outer Layer Pink

Seems to cut alright with no issues, Enjoy :) Cheers Kris

Door Hangers....I'm dreamin about door hangers lol

Okies, so with Door Hangers and the problem with doing one in a class yet having 4 daughters between 3 bedrooms, every girl wants one :) So problem solvered!!! Today I've made the 3rd and final door hanger for Miss Ellen & Miss Amy.... Ellie chose to have Minnie Mouse (OMG Challenge) thanks Ellie..... but then I rose to the challenge as always and voila, we have a Door Hanger complete with Minnie woohooooooo Oh Yes, the little princess just walked by and said "I love it Mum, it's just booootiful" well that is what makes it all worth it :)

So here's a pic of the completed project and a Mouse and Flowers for those with SCAL, Enjoy :)

The last week of school holidays.....wahooooooo

Wow, what an incredibly looooooooong week it has been. Haven't gotten much done in the way of scrapbooking this week, too busy getting back to school stuff ready for 4 of the kids.

I've been slack, haven't even covered their books this year, there are just way too many for one person to cope with :( Oh well, I figure they'll survive :)

Anyhoo, I did manage to do some new things on the cricut with SCAL this week and sat down last night and made a door hanger for Miss Keely.

She loves Pooh Bear and chose this one that I had made earlier in the week, so I sat down and tinkered with it for a little while and VOILA it's done :)

I've included theSVG FILE for Pooh Bear. This was my first attempt at doing a character that was so complicated as far as pieces went, but anyway as you can see, I did get it to work. On a happier note, I've learnt a whole lot more and better ways now :) I've since managed to get Mickey & Minnie Mouse, Pooh Bear, Piglet, Ariel and a few other bits and pieces. So if you are interested in any of them, send me a message. Cheers Kris
