Lazy wet cold Sunday

Corey and I woke up the sound of beautiful rain on the roof this morning. It was cold and wet outside so we decided it was a good day to be at home and keep warm. It took me til about 12pm to get myself in my scrapping room. I thought if I at least sit in there I would get inspired to create something. So I was happy to have made these few cards. And I finally finished my canvas that has taken me over 3 weeks. I just need to put a gloss protective finish on it. My girlfriend Monika Dabrowska-Ejmont.... the hidden artist who is so beautifully talented inspired me with this canvas. I want to do another one similar but using more vintage tones. See how I go and will post when I have completed it.















I hope you all have had a great weekend. I called into Daisys Scrapbooks on Friday night as there was a retreat there for the weekend. Was great to see the lovely Alaine and Sheree from Brisbane. Cannot wait to catch up with you both in Brisbane soon and of course the other girls from out of town that travel so far away to come here. You are all such lovely nice girls xx That's it for me this arv..
Love and hugs Moons xx

Last night I had a great night with my good friend Monika here at home. We scrapped til all hours of the night, chatted, talked shit, watched Kung Fu Panda with Corey as he was with us and this is what I achieved last night. I have not scrapped for 5 weeks now which is a shock for me but I felt like I needed a break after submitting my work for Masters this year. I have been working on a canvas which has also been taking me forever but I am under no pressure and have no deadlines so I have been really enjoying the break.
I have had these canvas letters for forever. I was going to paint them up but they seemed to work just fine without. The chippy circle is from scrapware which I am in love with. Love their products, the crocheted flower from one of my favorite Etsy Stores "Greatest View" by Gail Lindner, and a Prima flower. Crate paper - Restoration, Emmas Shoppe and Pink Paislee Daily Junque.



And since I am still learning to use the copic pens.. I am not doing too much but do like putting together these wee cards when I do..
Here it is..
That's all for today... want to try and finish my canvas and will post it when I have.
Hope you are all having a great weekend.. I am hoping for a great pour down of rain.. So dry here at the moment.

Love this..!

I have been a slack blogger in the past two weeks.. Lots on..lots of visitors. Now got the weekend to myself so I am looking forward to doing nothing at all except getting into my scrapping room as I have not scrapped for 5 weeks..
I have nearly finished a canvas though. I cannot believe how slow I paint these days. But admittedly I have had no pressure with it and I have been in no rush. So I have enjoyed the change.
Will be right back soon with some new work to show.
Have a great weekend all

Doctors Surgery Bordem

Just thought I would throw in this collage I did up last night. Danielle and I and Corey spent 2 whole hours in the waiting room of the Doctors Surgery yesterday.. What a friggin joke. This is how we entertained ourselves.. Danielle has that silly thing on her iphone where the faces are transformed into aliens etc... we had such a laugh. We had to get her happy as she was waiting to get her ingrown toenail cut out. And then to make the 2 hour wait worse... the Doctor was in such a rush when he did it she had hardly lay down on the bed and he jammed 4 needles into her toe. The last Doctor put numbing cream on it gently for her. She cried in so much pain it was aweful.. Some of those Doctors should be out!!!!!
Another day in Townsville today. Did some painting on my canvas last night.. off to the strand today to the big bucket and then some afternoon wines with a girlfriend.. Actually Danielles boss.
Have a great week girls.

Far North Qld

Well it was a heck of a long drive up here on my own... well with my co driver next to me... Corey. But 1000km the first day and then 400km two days later and the full time catching up in between the drive with all my girls in Mackay certainly tired me out. We had a great time in Mackay. So many happy faces that I miss so much. Things just never change even when you have been away for 7 years and I guess thats why they are called great friends.. Cause things never change and the friendships will never change.
We have chilled out here in Townsville with my DD. She is still working with only her two days off during the week but it actually gives Corey and I .. more so me.. time to relax.


I packed in my car 2 canvases and a few of my paints, my copics and that is about it. I have really enjoyed going down to the Strand and relaxing on my blanket and playing with my copics. Im still shit at it... I cannot believe how well I can paint but how crappy I color in. Oh well, practice will perfect me I am guessing.
We went into A Craft Affair today. Helen in there is so lovely. It was quite overwhelming to see so many of my layouts hanging everywhere in the shop. Corey felt pretty special and said he was famous. hehehe.

Dani and I are going to the movies for a girly night tonight to see Bridesmaids. Cannot wait. I have been busting to see it and so has she.
Corey has even started a canvas today. Im so proud of his natural creative talent.
Thats the update from FNQ from me.

Oh I had butterflies in my tummy for 15 minutes after I posted my Masters submissions today. Phew... just actually glad it has gone.
Happy scrapping girls.. and to those who dont. .... what are you thinking...???

Time to slow down

Well we have sold our shops and I am now not working.... well giving myself some time off for now anyway. I am loving not working but I am still busy but doing so much that I want to do. It is a great feeling when you wake up in the morning and have so much you want to fit into your day... and work is not in the picture. Bliss for now and I am so appreciating every single day I have to myself like this. I have started to paint again, I am spending more time cooking, being at home, walking and just feeling relaxed. I decided last night to pack my bags with my young one and take off up North for a week or two. We are going to see my baby girl who is now 20. I miss her like I cannot explain. I hold so much of it in my heart and try not to dwell on it but I do find myself when I am on my own just feeling the tears uncontrollably pour out of my eyes. "This is Life... but not as we know it". I keep telling myself she is happy and I am so happy for her but it is such a natural thing for a mother of such a special girl to miss one so terribly. She and I are so close and I know we haven't lost any of that.. we just don't get to feel it every day like we did when she was still at home with me. Some people are happy when their kids leave home... but she could stay til she was 37!! I told her so :-)

So DS and I are heading up for our 10 hour drive north tomorrow and will get to her on the weekend. First stop will be back in my home town of Mackay where I will see all the best girls in the world. Miss them so bad. Cannot wait to have the day and night with my BFF Mandy Moo..! Not sure how long we will be.. I am on no time limit.. except I have promised DS we will be back for something special that he is excited about at school. I have homework for 2 weeks packed from the teacher so we are set. I am happy to have all my Masters submissions ready in the pizza box to be sent to Silverwater NSW. I am happy with what I have created.. although I can always do better. But I have enjoyed the challenge. Good luck to all you other girls out there that are submitting your work too . I will not be bored on my holiday as I have the car packed and in my little beep beep I have 2 canvases and paints and brushes, my laptop, my copic pens, stamps and paper and lots of photos to edit when I have some time to do nothing. I am planning on having a relaxing holiday, not shopping, but doing all I can for my girl in her new little house and just spending quality time with DS at the beach, park, water slide etc. I cannot wait. Til next time.... I will be sticky beaking through all of your blogs over the next few days.. xx Happy days girls Moonie xxx

Check these bags out!

I have just stumbled across these awesome bags... Good for anyone, so many styles. I love bags but I don't like just common handbags all the time.. They tend to get so boring.

The Big Book of Scrapbook Pages

I was so excited to received a pizza box in the mail this week thinking it was paper to do some designing with but to my super surprise it was finally my copy of Memory Maker's The Big Book of Scrapbook Pages ! It's been a long time coming ... to be honest I had actually forgotten about it. Somehow I come across this website wanting submissions for this mag so I submitted 3 layouts last year and one was chosen. I sent it off and 12 months later I get this gorgeous full on glossy big fat magazine in the mail. So proud to be on the the 5 Australian scrappers in it. It is totally filled with funky gorgeous beautiful layouts in it. So go and try and get your hands on one as soon as you can. I am right near the back.

It's all about FELT

It's all about FELT

It's Felt Week at my2angels

and to kick start off the week we have

30% off all FELT

until 21st July

Are you one of those scrappers saying... “Felt – that’s so yesterday”?

Some scrappers don't use felt, because it isn't considered trendy, but heck, if it is easy on the budget, easy to use and looks good - then why not?

Other scrappers think that it is boring and limited in how you can use it.

Many scrappers don’t use felt because of past bad experiences: backing paper not coming off; it doesn't stick down properly; or it sticks to everything in sight, including itself.
So pop on over to my2angels and get a bargain right now on some yummy flet. I love putitng making felt birds to put on my layouts. I love the texture of felt birds or even felt wings on the birds.
So thats all for me tonight .. happy scrapping girls..

Fun with Copics

Well here I go down another avenue that I have been purposely turning my back on as I knew I would get addicted to it.... But it is all Monika's fault.. She has been flashing her cool copic pens and to die for gorgeous yummy cute as stamps in front of my nose.. so here I am and there is no turning back now :-)
These are my first 3 pictures I have colored in. I am still obviously learning. To be honest I have no idea what to do except to color them in and try and do some shading.. But I will learn as I go. There are so many awesome youtube tutorials to watch.. They are fun to do in your own time. I have been making a few cute wee cards over the past 4 weeks. Just trying to use up some of my nice scraps. They are too cute to bin and I wouldnt use them on a layout now as I jsut keep buying new paper that is released. So I have been making them. I have sold about 60 cards in the past 4 weeks. So great for me. I wont be retiring as I am working for $3 an hour. Hahahhaha but I love it.
I cannot believe how many gorgeous stamps there are out there online when you look all over the world.
We have had an awesome relaxing weekend. I have just started my double layout for Masters. I have my others all ready for the mail. Much more organized this year. Not like last year.
Got a yummy roast in the over cooking. Smells divine.
Love to you all. Happy scrapping!!!

I love these pictures of Corey at the air show in Auckland New Zealand when we were home. He was just in love and amazement with the huge air crafts. He felt very special sitting in the helicopter with the pilot and even got to put on his head piece.
I have used a combination of the cool, funky and playful new October Afternoon Rocket Age and Bella paper. I have used a few of the Rocket Age stickers too, twine and October Afternoon market stickers.
Just love the papers they keep bringing out.. Amazing talent!
Scrap for charity @ Daisy Chains Scrapbooks this Saturday 10 am - 10pm so I'm pretty motivated to get some nice work done.. hahha probably only get one layout done.. but who really cares.. I love the company and a day out to just scrap x

Ohh and a card I made with the scraps

Echo Park SLASH!!!

I love these sort of papers and the colors but they are not really my style of scrapping.. But I always buy them as they are just soo yummy. I had the perfect photos for these papers so this is what I come up with.

3 Pieces of Echo Park paper, bakers twine, my2angels charms and that is really about it. I even got to make this cute card.
Lots going on in my life right now.. Hard to really keep up but that is just the way it is. Us girls just keep up with it all dont we.
Keep up the scrapping girls.. Love the work that I am seeing on all your blogs.
