Flower Power!!!!!

Hi to All, I had a fun Friday night! I taught at Scrap 2 Relax and taught 6 Lovely Ladies to make the Kaiser Christmas Wreath.... We had a lovely night and saw stars at the end , but I do hope the ladies were happy with their projects. Then on Saturday I had my kids Class at Scrap 2 Relax, we made Christmas presents for their teachers. I had 5 boys and 1 girl!!!! Just awesome to see little boys enjoying paper craft, I love teaching the kids , we have such a laugh and they are all becoming so clever and improving with their skills they have learnt!!!!

On Saturday night , I had a little time up my sleeve so I created 3 Lovely cards in a family or a series, there will be a fourth but I haven't had the chance to complete it , so stay tuned...

Till then hope you have a great day!!! Michelle xx

A Hooot of a card!!

I sat down yesterday and endulged myself into some drawing as I shouted myself a Brand New 72 Pack of Derwent Pencils!!!! Oh they are sooo devine!! I started drawing and came up with this cute little Owl, I am really enjoying Bird Life at the moment , we have 2 baby finches in a nest at the back door which the kids and the adults Shane and I are checking daily , watching their feathers grow, It truly is amazing . We also have baby Kookaburra's around at the moment also, watching for something to swoop down and grab for dinner.

My little Owl is in one of my favorite color derwents " Jade" and of course decorated with Stickles to give that extra sparkle !!! Hope you are having a Hoot of a week end!!!! Michellexxx

Happy Birthday to my Dad!!! We are born exactly a week apart, my birthday is on the 3rd and Dad's is on the 10th. Last week for my birthday we helped my wonderful sister and her husband move house. They are expecting their first bundle of joy and their unit was fast becoming to small!! We had a lovely day together as a family...... Tonight , I am cooking Chicken breast fillets stuffed with Camembert Cheese and Prawns mmmm , cant wait!!! and I have made Dad a White Chocolate Mud cake for his birthday Cake.!!! He will blow out his candles with the help from Georgia and Regan!!!!

Have a look at the card I made for him!! It makes me feel so peaceful , looking at the boat on the water.!! Easy to make and I am happy with the result, knowing me I just had to add just a touch of bling with the glitter and Rhinestones on the boat!!!

Hope you are having a great weekend in the sunshine , like my family is!!!!!!!

Cheers, Michelle xxx

Christmas has come early!!!

Hi To Everyone, I wanted to show you the Christmas Cards that I have designed for my October Classes at Scrap 2 Relax. I used the brand new Christmas Papers from Kaiser!!! It is the most gorgeous papers and colours and I was so inspired that I was not able to stop just at two cards! Then I couldnt decide which ones to teach , so I gave that job to Karen as I loved them all!! What do you think???? MMMM I cant wait to make them for all of my friends and family for Christmas!!!! Cheers Michellexx

Mother Daughter Day out!! Wow we had Fun!!

The Dragon Fly one is Mine this was made with Kaiser papers and Chip board Flowers that I inked then put a little Stickles , just because I love all things Shiny!!! And Georgia is the pale pink Flowers also with Kaiser papers and Georgia used Paper Flowers and Kaiser Bling in the pearls to decorate ..... Didnt she do a amazing job!!

Thanks to Julie and Karen for Helping along the way with Georgia!! I had so much fun sitting and doing a class at Scrap 2 Relax and Julie is a great teacher..... There we go Ill be back with my Christmas Cards . Till then Cheers Michellexx

Family '"Together"

Hi To everyone, Last post I was hoping to pop back much sooner then now. But Life is way to busy for all and today is the first chance i have had.

I have been teaching lots at " Scrap 2 Relax" and loving it!!!! I have had Childrens classes which spilled over from last holidays, I had 7 lovely ladies in on Friday night and we all had a fantastic time!

Last Friday night I was so fortunate thanks to Karen !! I was able to attend the Q2 launch for Kaiser in Geelong, it was fantastic. The new ranges are awesome, the girls papers made me go all red and flushed with excitement..... Stay tuned and I will be able to show you a series of Christmas Cards made from one of the ranges. Karen asked me to design some Christmas cards out of them for my October Classes, I have made five and I am so proud of them I am going to have to leave it up to Karen to decide which ones make the class list!!! I can not chose!!!

I have also made a layout with a dear photo to me , of my little family at my sisters wedding. I am so pleased with the result and have a peak!!

Anyway I will be back in the next few days to show you my Christmas Cards and also............ Georgia and I attended a class at Scrap 2 Relax to make " A Birthday Book" we had so much fun , I want to show you the end results, I am so proud of my little princesses , she did a amazing job!!!! For now Take Care Michellexxx

Way to many days of Stillness!!!!!

After way to many days of crafty stillness!!! I am bursting with so many visions!!!! You know the type that wake you at 3.ooam in the morning saying " Go on Create Now" but you are way to tired to answer!!!! Well that has been ME!! in the last few weeks. Sick Billy Lids ( kids) and a unhappy mummy ( I hate it when my kids arent feeling well) and its not a good mix!!........ But, everything is calming down so I just wanted to drop by and say STAY TUNED!!! its all about to kick into gear...... Cant wait to show you what I have been up to, so I thought i'd drop be to TEASE!!!!!! Until next time .... which wont be long ........... stay smiling!! Cheers Michellexxxx

Look at my Beeeautiful Bee!!!!!

I just thought I'd drop by and show you my little bee that I drew and coloured in with my water coloured crayons and my Aquash Brush ( A paint brush but it has a storage tube for water, rather than re dipping the brush in water).... I put this little Bee on a card I made for my dad as he has been in hospital!! I love him or her!! a very cute and bright face to brighten my Dads day!! Well I hope it did!!! Have a great Week end....... Michellex

Thursday 30th of July........

Hi to all, Finally I have been able to come back to my blog and add some of the things that I have been working on ! Though this week has been a little bit of a struggle to find the time. My daughter Georgia has torn a ligament and a muscle in her ankle so I have been fairly busy tending to her needs, as all of us mothers could imagine.

I am Traveling to Rawson on Saturday to teach at" Scrap 2 Relax" annual retreat, I am looking forward to catching up with some of the lovely ladies that I have met whilst they have been attending my classes at the shop. My Subject to teach is a Gift Tag and a Card made with Acertate and of course cardstock. I pulled out my favourite "Weapon" my Cuddlebug and this is what I have come up with.................. Well at the top of the Post you can see!!!!!

I just love Pink and Brown Shades together, it to me has the perfect mix!!!!!

Hopefully from now on I will be a busy little bee, and be updating all the time my projects that I am having fun with!!! So til then , Have Fun !!!!! Michellex
