More ruffles & project life

Hi there, hope this post finds you all well.(gosh sounds like a letter doesn't it)
Anyway I whipped up another ruffle tea towel so now I have a matching set.







Our next Label crew is in this fabric so I wanted to make these to match, I also have plans for mug mats coz it all has to match.(have I said that already)

Here is the LHS of my week 20 in Project Life.



I used goodies from my Cocoa Daisy kit.

For the RHS I did something a bit different. Seeing I didn't have many photos from the week, but Caitlin did as she had been to a music festival I decided to do a 12x12 page.



Mmmm I have lots to say bout this page
-the banner idea came from a Two Peas Garden Girl (you should sign up for their newsletter it has videos, tips, digital freebies and lots more)
-there is no journaling as its on one of the cards on the Left hand page
-I used a collage from photoshop, select the collage you want, select the photos and voila it even puts them in the frame for you
-speaking of frames I do love these ones it's the professional frame no 1 if you have PSE
-the banner was made with My Minds Eye Nostalgia papers 6x6 pad.love this line
- not to happy with the wording on the wrist tag thingy they were all issued with. Oh my, well my girl is twenty next month-feeling older by the minute.
-will have to be EXTREMELY creative for week 21 as the back of this will be my LHS.
-Caitlin looks like some cool hippie chick, but the look suits her
-ok can't think of any more points

Enjoy your night
It's roast beef here tonight no vegetables yet so I had better get my butt into gear.

Ruffles

Here's something that I whipped up with my free time on Mothers Day (thanks Caitlin / previous post)



A ruffled tea towel.
Our next Labelcrew project is a table runner and I will be making it in these fabrics so I thought a matching tea towel was the way to go.
In my mind I have plans to make matching mug mats as well, but, there are a lot of projects in my mind at the mo, hopefully this one will see fruition. (ha that's a big word).

Now I'm just going to bore you with a few photos that I have taken, b/c I'm a good girl and am doing my homework from my photography class.









And this one my favourite



Thanks for stopping by

The Perfect Mothers Day Present

It didn't cost anything (which is good for a uni student with little money) but to me it was the bestest present ever.



All my ironing done, which gave me time to craft.
Thanks Caitlin, I'm so very lucky.

Three cards

Good morning and Happy Mothers Day to you all ( even if you are not celebrating MD today).

I had a lovely sleep in, then my mum came over for a quick brunch, now I'm having a little rest writing this post then I will attack my mountain of ironing, then I'm crafting. (well that's the plan).

The living room smells wonderful, full of fresh flowers. I was lucky to get three bunches.

Anyway my reason for posting today was to share with you three cards I have made. A few weeks back Papertrey Ink posted a "make it Monday " video demonstrating how to make three cards using the same base but adding more layers for each card.

Here is my first one



Well actually it's two. This was meant to be the simple one- a single layer card. I just couldn't get it right, dah,
So I progressed to the next one



Argh that's better, a few more layers
Now for the last one, even more layers



I like the way all three (4) turned out but I can't believe I found the single layer card the hardest.

Going to tackle that mountain now
Enjoy your day

Another Label Crew project

Hi there, happy Monday ( not as my husband would say, he hates Monday's)

On Saturday night I caught up with Susan and Tracey, gosh it's been ages since we sewed a label crew project.



We made these cute bags, perfect for my iPad. Just to confuse you all the polka dot one is not Susan's its mine.

Here's some more photos, but before you scroll down I must warn you, I have started my photography course and I love close ups with blurry backgrounds, so there is a few of them,



My bag



Tracey's bag
And wait for it this ones even closer



Susan's bag.

Boy we laughed a lot as we usually do. Thanks girls.

Now on to nothing important but I just read Susan's post and she has made a yummy looking cake which has got my mouth salivating for a piece, as Susan lives nearly an hour away I just cant pop in. Mmmm can I be bothered to whip one up in Joe's new Kitchen Aid chef deluxe thingy, it's seven thirty pm, argh I can't be bothered.but I still feel like something cakey. What's a girl to do? Now Andrew's eating a block of chocolate........I'm going to the craft room.

Goodnight.

Holiday memorabilia

Hi there
My title should read "what do you do with holiday memorabilia?".
This is what I do



We kept all of our favourite cards, receipts and tags and yes plastic coffee spoons. So I just stuck them all down on a 12x12 piece of card-stock. I also took,stole,borrowed,lent a couple of envelopes from the hotel, in this one I have put more receipts and anything I thought we may want to look back on. I have added a bit of washi tape here and there and that's it 'easy peasy'.

I also had to document one of the scariest hours of our lives



Again I stuck everything down on a 12x12 piece of cardstock and used the envelope as my journaling card. Inside the envy is more journaling and more newspaper articles. I have also attached a photo of a text I sent to one of my friends.

These two pages will be put in my Project Life album as inserts to week 15 which is finished so really I am finally up to date with PL. I do want to do two more 12x12 lay outs of Penang for week 15 but I am not stressed to get them done and of course there is always last week to start.

Joe spent half of Tuesday in the kitchen here is what he made.




OMG it was amazing
Here he is, so proud, he actually whooped for joy and did a little dance when he took it out of the mould, he then experimented making toffee string.



And yes it tasted as good as it looks.

Of to see what you have all been up to.

Photo or Postcard?

Good evening

When going thru our holiday snaps I came across this one that Joe took.



Doesn't it look like a postcard to you? I think it's a fabulous photo and I just had to do a lay out with it.
The photo says Penang to me, the street and the heritage buildings, the trishaws that you see amongst the busy traffic, you'll see a very old tumble down building and right next to it will be a super modern new building. This is in Georgetown which is the capital of Penang.

Now on to something different
If you are ever in Perth and you visit the Burswood hotel complex you must stop at their coffee shop and buy one ( ha if you can stop at one) of these



In my opinion THE BEST shortbread in the world. Far better than anything I can make, I have asked/pleaded/begged Joe to get me the recipe. So whenever we go the to the Burswood I have to make a little detour to get me a couple of these.

I hope your week is wonderful, mine will be a mixed bag, joe's Thermomix is arriving with a personal demo, joe is having a small procedure on his toe, more packing at nanas, back to work for me, drinks with friends, Anzac day, oh it's going to be a busy week.

Have fun
Xx
