What a Special Day!!!!

Happy Birthday to my Mum and My Gorgeous Little Niece Menzie!!! Menzie was 1 years old today and we celebrated with a combined party yesterday at my sisters house in Melbourne.. we had the most lovely relaxing day complete with a game of backyard cricket, and Shane and I even enjoyed a walk down to the nearest shops!! Was ssoooooo nice and relaxing... Tonight as we speak I can smell a yummy pork roast with all the trimmings that Shane has cooked for my mum!!! Yummy !!! Before I rush off to eat it with the family , I wanted to share with you my latest creations as I have tried a new material and a new colour scheme.... Please don't hesitate to leave a comment.....

This is the Card that I made my Mum, I love the colours of this card and was very happy with the result... I am going to make more cards using this colour scheme for sure!!!! What do you think ???

A close up of My mums Card, this Tilda is a new Stamp we have a Scrap 2 Relax.. they arrived last week and they are all gorgeous as always....

Here is the Card I made for my Little Niece Menzie Moo, of course I had to add one of my favourite little Tilda's from the Magnolia Stamps

I tried Flower Soft on a Chipboard in the Shape of Number 1, it turned out really well I was very happy with the result.. It just added a lovely dimension to the Chipboard. I recommend you try it... Karen at http://www.scrap2relax.com.au/ Has new Flower Soft Colours in and they are gorgeous!!!

I hope you have all had a great Weekend with your family , Til next Time , Take Care.. Love Michelle xxx

My Blessings; My Gorgeous Niece and Mum , who are Soo Special to me!!!

And I have to mention My SIS who is always there for me xxxxx

Tomorrow is going to be very very hot here , so I hope you all manage to stay cool... as animal lover please ensure all of your animals have icy cold water and a shady place they can escape the hot sun!!! I have put water in containers tonight ready for the freezer , so our puppies have Icy cold water tomorrow.....

Getting back into the Swing

I am slowly getting back into the swing of my Papercraft... The Christmas and the School Holiday Period I always find I am lacking in Inspiration.... I dont know why that is ... Maybe that it is to busy, constant children around me or whether it is just places to go places to see... Which I really think is the reason... HOWEVER... I have managed alittle time at my favourite shop in the world .. www.scrap2relax.com.au on Friday with a lovely bunch of ladies and I made 2 cards.... I love brown , Pink and Red together... So I came up with this little cutey Pie....

And this little Boy card in Crisp Blues and Lime Greens....... New Colours for me as I havent worked in this colour scheme for a card!! I am happy with the result and I think I will repeat again......... Anyway I am hoping to have a day of card making today ... I have a little stash of cards available to purchase at Scrap 2 Relax in Drouin also MaVa Hairstyling Solutions also in Drouin .... So I need to add to my collection!!! Have a great day in the sunshine!!!! Til next time Michelle xxxxxxx

My Blessings: School Holidays , I truly love having my cherubs at home!!

And Yummy Home made Pizza for Lunches made by My Gorgeous Daughter xx

Happy Birthday Our Beautiful Georgia!!!

Look at this card... Regan made this for his Sister for her Birthday ... Isn't it gorgeous!!!! He did such a Amazing Job for someone who is only four... I made the base card then he did all the decorating!!! So Proud of my little man!!!!

This card is from Myself and Shane... It is a cute card that fitted the criteria of being Aqua and Purple ... So I used the Kaiser Eurotopia range .. I also finished off with a little Flower Soft in Silver to add detail to her shoes and dress!!!! Happy Birthday My Darling Princess!!!! We had a fantastic Day .. My Mum and I took Georgia to see Mary Poppins in Melbourne ... It was " Perfect in Every Way"...... Til next time ... Cheers Michelle

A Sweet start to 2011

I know we should be watching the waist lines from Christmas ...but.... I am feeling a little sad , well my family and I are just about to pass on My Nana and Grandpa Evan's home to the new owners ... We have been sorting through all the little things that have been kept in my Nana's home for ever ... it is really sad!!! :( Anyway I have been finding myself sharing stories with my Mum and Auntie and baking all the treats Nana use to make ... Mum even made Short bread for Christmas as Nana always had a batch for each of us at Christmas in our own Tins... Care fully labelled Please return to Nana for next year.... Another Treat she was wonderful at making was Sponge Cakes... So I had my first go today and I can almost feel Nana's Smile Shining on me!!! She would be so proud and I am very Proud to say they WORKED!!!! I know I haven't shared a Crafty Yummy with you in the last couple of Posts but somehow , there is more to me then just Paper Craft and I do hope you enjoy the Snippets of Me and My world and what makes me tick!!!!! I am just about to take charge of my Creative Brain and start Creating for 2011....... Till next time .. Take Care , Love Michellexxxxxxxx
