Mix & Match Collection - Kaiser Craft

Good morning everyone and what a wonderful day it is here on the Sunny coast.. we have the sun shining, the waves splashing and the temp is a nice 22 degrees.. I am on my 4.5 days off at the moment and I wake up so excited to have another day off.. I truly am grateful for every single hour I have off work lol.... I love my ME time.

Its pretty much good fun working in Craft @ Spotlight.  I get to see all the new goodies that arrive in dispatch and do a new layout for new products.  Last week I unpacked this lovely Kaiser Craft.  I dont usually use Kraft Colour on my layouts.. but I loved the fresh pop of white, red and black with this collection.  It is only in the 12 x 12 papers but that was simple.  I just cut it up into my 6x4s and went from there.


I dont often use the same collection for a week (double pages spread) but you need to with Kraft I think. 

 I looove these little Doily stickers.. so easy to use.. Just peel off and waaa laa..
And you can also use the bottom tab of the paper like I have.


I love these Amy Tan thickers.. so yummy for you tummy


The food here was absolutely divine.
That desert you can see was a coconut soft moist cake with liquorice flavoured ice-cream.. Ive wanted to try liquorice ice-cream for forever.. today I did.. I was amazing.. not strong.. just the perfect hint of liquorice.




In the above pocket I have used the little Close to my Heart Flip pockets.  They are great if you have something to add.


In the above middle pocket I have actually adhere my photo to the top of the page.. I didnt want to cut this one up.






So make sure you give this collection a go.. Its fun and easy to work with.. Simple or busy... 
have a great day everyone.. and keep that mojo flowing .

Middle of the year!!! OH Dear!!!

Hi there.. I cannot believe we are at the middle of the year already.. on the count down for the end of the year?? No way... not me.. I must say I nearly fell over at work the other day when I saw Christmas fabric in despatch !!! Holy smoke!  Too soon for me.. Im just getting over Easter.
I am pleased to share that I am now currently up to date with my Project Life.. After 18 months of doing Project Life.. I have always been about 4-5 weeks behind.. Im not quite sure how I caught up.. I keep going back through my pages to see what weeks I have missed.. but no.. I am simply up to date.


This is great for me and I am not used to it but I am making the most of my spare time.  I have picked up my crochet blanket I am trying to get finished,  I have made a few cards, I have sanded down an old table and painted it over and white washed it, and had a bit more time to myself.  Crazy I know... but the way I PL is very time consuming.  


I am looking forward to my Project Life Retreat that is coming up on the 18 October being held at Daisy Chain Scrapbooks here on the Sunshine Coast.  That is just so exciting for me to see all the lovely girls again. We have a ball and inspire each other all weekend.  We can also talk rubbish all weekend and we all get each other lol
I am excited about next week.  I have made some changes in our home in the past 2 months. Mainly soft furnishings.  We have got a new dining room suite, mirror to make a statement, rug and new lounge suite that arrives next week.  It has been a 10 week wait and I dont think we will get it a day early either.. but next week is the day.  This will finish off the changes we have made.  I can't wait. I will post a photo when I have it in and has made its place inside.
My hubby and I got to have 2 days away on our own.. One night in Brisbane. Not at all long but we were so excited to have some us time out.  DS went to a friends place in Brisbane to a beautiful family where he feels very much at home.  They are very cool and Im so pleased DS feels good there.







My husband is so passionate about these diggers




My favorite city

 I love these photos of my boys down our street!


Twudy girl and I



I seriously have to walk around with my eyes closed.  There are so many yummies out there at the moment.. So many temptations.. but I have to say no!!.. It is a want and not a need!!
Sadly I left the chair there but was apparently sold an hour after I left it there.. Gone to a good home I am sure.



A big thank you to Sue Brown who designed this wee canvas Camera embellishment.. they are super cute 




LOVING my new size 12 jeans I treated myself on our weekend in Brisbane.. Although my hubby reasons I should have got a discount.. due to the holes in the knees lol
He just doesnt get it 


 A snap shot of my room before I got my wood grain wall paper hung last week.


Now after with my new wall paper feature wall


This was us yesterday out for a bush walk. Man I just love my family.. They are so beautiful to me.  I am so so blessed to have such a great life..Life does not have to be perfect to be great!!!!!!



I get to see my long lost friend from Mission Beach in the morning.. We havent seen each other for about 5 years.. so it will be fun to catch up.  So nice to have friends like this!!  She had her own scrapbooking shop up in Tully FNQ but got hit severely by the cyclone 2 years ago and has paid its toll on her.  They have moved south and cannot wait to give her bear hugs tomorrow.
Well I hope you are all still getting inspired somewhere and inspiring others each day as it goes by.  I love art and I love to share and be inspired by you all too.
Take care and keep happy and positive
