Sooooo, I have been on a new mission to use some of these Basic Grey June Bug Collection Papers....now I've gotta say, they're not exactly favourites of mine by any means, but I am interested to see just how many ways I can use them.... just because I can lol... weird I know, yes, but hey, that's just me...I love a challenge every now and then :)

So after going for a morning stroll through Arnolds' Scrapbooking Sale this morning (awesome specials I might add) yay... I found some gorgeous Kaiser Red flowers to play with...you guys who know me well know I just hate flat pages and flat flowers....so they got the "oompf" treatment and voila...this is the page I've come up with...my gorgeous daughter Ellen & her Prep Teacher ...Mrs Gilliver from the Fancy Dress Ball in August this year

So I have used an SVG & SCAL to create the mega cool background page, Basic Grey June Bug Papers I've used are Vintage Plaid and Aggie (both of them I've used the reverse sides) Kaiser Flowers Red, Kaiser Flower Rhinestones, Kaiser Rhinestone Flourish (halved), Kaiser Journal Spots from the Q1 Collection, Font is Whoa DNA and Ticket is from D-Lish and Pearls and Lace from my stash.

The Countdown to Christmas Begins....

Phew is all I can say! I finally got this rotten Kaiser Project finished & done, don't think I'm ever going to attempt another Kaiser Off The Page project ever again, sooooo over them :( Well at least not until next time I'm tempted lol lol lol

Anyhooo, the kids are totally delighted in this monster project and soooo happy to find it ready in time to start their countdown to Christmas today, lots of little treats in those drawers for them lol.

Wow!!! I had another win...

Wow, I found out today I had another win, woohoooo, "doin the happy dance" over at Aussie Girls Gone Scrappin

Santa Claus is coming to town....

OMG you will never guess what happened last night. Was frantically trying to organise dinner for this motley crew of mine then what should our wondering ears hear...the jingle jangle of christmas bells and a jolly old Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas!!!


Yeehaaaaa you guessed it....Santa was doing his yearly trip around the Peninsula...the kids did a massive bolt out the front door, racing over to the park to spot the glowing Santa Sleigh, I'm talking psychedelic lit up colours guys...the kids went bonkers for like half an hour until he finally came down our street and then holy moly the big guy was in front of our house...Ho Ho Ho'ing and sharing some special christmas treats with all the kids.

Want to say a HUGE THANKYOU TO ROTARY CLUB for saving the annual Santa Sleigh Trek for our community...can you believe after 15 years the local council were not going to keep it happening, unreal!!!! ROTARY CLUB of Redcliffe....you guys ROCK!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Important Message as Summer arrives....

As we approach Summer here in Queensland.... we as Adults know & understand how incredibly hot our weather is and the consequences for ignoring it ... Please take the time to read the following information....and keep our children safe :)

Ava's Rule

Ava had been found in her parents’ car, parked in the sun. She had snuck in looking for lollies and found herself in the back seat, with child locks on. She was 3 years old and did not realise that if she moved into the front, those doors would open. She never re-gained consciousness and died a few days later.

Her parents have dedicated themselves to spreading the word about Ava’s rule:

Always lock your car and store your keys where your children cannot reach them.

Verify your children know never to go to the car unsupervised.

Actively seek out sheltered locations to park your car.

Keep Safe :)

Ticket to Ride.....

Well I've finally scrapped those new cutesie pics of Miss Amy enjoying her big girl bike riding lessons from the other weekend...



Off to catch up on some reading now I think.... have a great day my friends :) xo Kris
