Sale Night 6

2012-01-31T19:30:00.000+10:30

Hello Everyone and welcome to SALE NIGHT 6!

I hope you have been enjoying the sale so far. Thanks to all my purchasers last night! Can't wait to see how you use your Enchanted Envelopes, so don't forget to share ;)

Re-capping the housekeeping, for those who may not have joined me previously:

All items, including brand new stock, are at 31% off for this week only (ending midnight 2 February 2012). Simply make a note of the product code of the item you wish to purchase, then, when you have finished shopping each evening, email me at cunger19@excite.com so I can compile your order at the end of the sale week and get your invoice to you. Payments are to be made by direct deposit within three days of receipt of your invoice.

Most items are one-offs, so it will be a case of first in first served. Where possible, I may be able to replicate some of the items, but as I said, there is limited availability.

All items are handmade, and great care is taken to ensure they are at a standard of high quality.

Postage starts at $1.20 to $2.70 (for large orders I may need to use a $6.00 satchel. I will calculate the exact postage once I have received your complete order). International postage starts at $5.00.

If you have any questions, be sure to email me (cunger19@excite.com) and I will endeavour to reply asap.

I'd like to thank you in advance for your patience, as this is my first sale, and I am sure there will be things I can improve on for next time. Please feel free to offer suggestions, and let me know if there is anything you'd like to see me sell here. If you'd like anything custom-made, and would like it at the sale price, email me!

Throughout the course of the week, I will draw a few random prizes (vouchers to spend in the store, or a mixed pack of some Catie's Craft Corner items). These will be drawn at the end of each evening, whereby all the names of those who have placed an order that evening will go into the draw to win.

My next product line is my Fleurs de Feutre range. Don't know French? You'll have to scroll down in a second to see what they are ;) These are all hand-stitched together and have a cardstock backing to make it easy to adhere them to your page or card - the perfect embellishment for either or both! I hope you like what you see and have fun shopping!

My next product line is my Enchanted Envelopes range. These are all handmade, some are decorated, some are embossed and inked or misted, and some are completely 'nude' ready for you to decorate however you'd like! They are perfect for hidden journalling on your page as you can fit a 2" x 3" card inside. They are not sealed at all, other than the string tied around them, giving you the option to journal directly on the inside of the envelope itself. Or, they can simply be used as they are as an embellishment! I hope you like what you see and have fun shopping!

Farewell 2011 (read: Good Riddance!)

2011-12-31T15:15:00.000+10:30

I don't know about you, but I am well and truly ready to kick 2011 to the kerb.

I am very much looking forward to the clean slate tomorrow, and beginning what I am feeling will be a much better year.

I have decided I am going to have a word in 2012 and that my word for 2012 will be: BLESSING. I want to remind myself to look for the blessings in every circumstance, and also to work on blessing others in any way I can.

Do you have a word in mind for 2012?

Now, I have a little to share... I want to end the year on a positive note, so here are a couple of things making me smile today, 31 December 2011:

<3 Honourable Mention in the 2011 Master's Competition for Scrapbooking Memories <3

A layout I have done for the December Sketch Challenge at Anna's Craft Cupboard.

AND LAST BUT DEFINITELY NOT LEAST:

My very first DT position!! I am thrilled to announce that I have been asked to join the talented team of lovely ladies at Polly! Scrap Kits and Supplies! We will be revealing a host of new and exciting challenges for you to take part in, in the next day or so, so keep an eye out. You don't want to miss this! Kayla is busy uploading new stock into the shop, and I know there will be some AMAZING goodies to drool over LOL.

Well, I think that'll about do it for 2011. I am looking forward to 2012 with anticipation and excitement, and intend to see the new year in with a bit of creating!

Don't forget, I will be sharing new product lines for Catie's Craft Corner in the next week or so too....can't wait! (Here's a lil sneak for you ;) )

Happy New Year to you and yours. May it be a year filled to overflowing with BLESSINGS! <3<3<3

Looking forward to the New Year

2011-12-29T22:07:00.001+10:30

I don't know about you, but I am so glad Christmas is over for this year, and I am truly looking forward to saying 'Good Riddance' to 2011. I had a feeling when this year started, that it was going to be pretty awful, and I have been right... I just never imagined how awful. Thankfully, there was a pretty major highlight in the early part of this year: the arrival of my beautiful twincesses, who I can hardly imagine life without these days. I barely remember some days what life was like before they came along to bless me.

I am a fairly organised person, and always look forward to beginning a new diary/organiser for the the year. The empty pages seem to hold so much promise of social engagements, birthdays and milestones to come in the new year. I've always loved to fill in the days ahead, and also to reflect on some things at the end of the old year. This year, in amongst the crappy things, there are lots of 'firsts' for the twincesses, so that is something really exciting to reflect on.

In 2012, I hope to complete a 365 (well, 366 actually!) challenge of sorts, by taking a photo every day, of the things that make me smile, make me happy, make my heart sing! I really feel that in all the negative that has been encompassing me lately, I really need to shift my focus and change my mind gear and reflect on all the beautiful blessings I have in my life. I have an empty notebook, already decorated and entitled, perfect to use for this challenge. I know there will be days when I don't feel like taking a photo, but hopefully I can force myself to seek out the positives and glean happiness in times where I may not otherwise be happy. And hey, if worse comes to worse, I have 4 gorgeous children to photograph right??

I'm not one for making New Year's Resolutions, but I guess this lil project is kind of a resolution of sorts isn't it? What about you? What do you want to achieve in the coming year? Do you make resolutions? Have you ever done a 365 challenge/project? I'd love to see if you have :)

Scrap 365 January Sketch

2011-12-24T13:44:00.001+10:30

Had a go at this the other night... I found the sketch a little tricky at first, but once I decided to use butterflies, it all kind of fell into place. :)

Thanks for looking. Warmest wishes, Catie xo

p.s. While I'm here, Merry Christmas everyone! Hope Santa brings you some lovely goodies and more importantly, stay safe and enjoy the day with your loved ones. xoxo

Scrapping Bug and Christmas Blessings...

2011-12-20T21:52:00.002+10:30

I am loving being bitten by the scrapping bug again. Thanks ladies, for all the awesome suggestions for challenges to do; there are so many awesome ones to choose from! In the end, I chose sketch #61 at Sketchabilities. I love the way my LO turned out. Will share soon. *** Leah Cameron***, please email me your postal addy, and I will pop a lil something in the mail for you as a thank you for the suggestion!!
I've also done the sketch challenge at Scrap365! Will share that soon too!

Onto a completely different track now.....

I'm really not feeling in the mood for Christmas this year... 2011 has not been particularly kind to my family and I of late, and none of us are feeling very festive. Suffice to say, being a single mum of four kids, including infant twins, is a tricky gig. I feel like for the most part I have things under control, though, thank goodness, and I have an amazing support network and friends and my family close by.

Last week, I was having a particularly bad week emotionally, for various reasons, and to top it off, I received a MASSIVE power bill for the quarter in the mail. I was really feeling like there was no way I could do this last week, especially the impending weekend, which was quite emotional and draining.

Anyhoo, over the last couple of days, I have had a few Christmas blessings fall upon me, and I am SOOOOO INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL AND HUMBLED by them. I received a hamper of food for Christmas from some lovely ladies I know through church, who volunteer at our local St Vinnies. Then, two very AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL friends and their parents blessed me with an absolutely INCREDIBLE Christmas gift that will help to take care of that awful power bill, and then some! AND, a man from my neighbourhood knocked on the door yesterday morning, to tell me that he had a little something from St Vinnies again, that they have been working on for my children and asked if he could drop it off soon. He's bringing it around this week sometime, and said I will be just as excited as the children!

So, the lesson I have learnt this week, is that no matter how hard things are, or how hopeless you may feel at times, there are blessings to be found. I have been SO blessed by all these people, and I don't think they know how much it all means to me. There just aren't words to thank them enough!

Here's a little 'project' for you: think over your lives at the moment, and count the blessings you have. Have you received some special Christmas blessings this season? Or blessings of any kind? Feel free to share - I'd love to know the ways you've all been blessed.

Bless you all!!

I scrapped AGAIN!

2011-12-14T16:02:00.000+10:30

Hooray! Feels so good to scrap again. And I was going to share it with you.... but I can't. It's been picked up for publication! Double hooray!

So, this is up instead ;)

Now that I am back in the scrappy groove, I am off to find some challenges to complete... though, I am steering clear of Christmas ones. Not a huge fan of Christmas challenges, and not feeling incredibly Christmassy at the moment.

So, which challenge do you suggest I do? Perhaps I'll send a little RAK to whomever's challenge I like the look of best! ;)

Thanks for looking. Warmest wishes, Catie xo

Monday Musings - why do I scrap??

2011-03-21T12:26:00.003+10:30

Afternoon all,

Gosh today is going quickly; not that I am doing anything particular that would make it seem to be going so fast...

I have however, been looking at previous layouts.... REALLY looking at them... my different styles, and techniques as they vary from page to page, and reading the journalling and studying the photos... and it all got me to thinking - "this is why I scrap". Reading back over the journalling and reminiscing on why I took the photo in the first place... it's really given me such a sense of achievement and reminded me of beautiful moments that would otherwise have faded into the oblivion of memory land.

I not only love the memory preservation side of scrapping, but also the craft side - trying out new techniques and challenges, being inspired by so many people and sources and attempting so many different things, whilst managing to put my own spin on them at the same time.

I am sooooo looking forward to photographing these babies when they're born and having so many gorgeous photos to scrap and begin recording their journies in life too!

Why do you scrap???

Thanks for looking. Warmest wishes, Catie xo

9 rejections.... and 2 acceptances!!!

2011-03-15T08:49:00.003+10:30

Good morning,

I just walked in to find 2 very happy emails awaiting me... Creating Keepsakes have accepted 2 of my LOs for publication (including a double!!) for publication in their Aussie Gallery! I am just a little bit STOKED!! These emails were followed in quick succession by rejections for the other 9 (LOL), BUT THAT'S OK! I am super excited that they've accepted these two!!! HOORAY! Made my day!

That's all....

Thanks for looking. Warmest wishes, Catie xo

Waiting, waiting

2011-03-14T10:52:00.002+10:30

Morning all,

Something a bit different today... no LOs to share, or photos (though I have taken some, they just have to be edited a little)... I have zero energy today... want to scrap, but really can't see it happening... just too tired...the capsules are in the car ready to go...these babies are moving down, down, down, and now I guess I am just biding my time, not being able to do a great deal, waiting for the day they enter this big wide world... going a little stir crazy, sitting at home all day, and feeling incredibly isolated, but not having the energy or really the capability to get out and about and do anything, or see anyone... that's just a bit of what's on my mind today.

Thanks for looking. Warmest wishes, Catie xo

Pay It Forward - who's up for some fun?

2011-03-11T10:52:00.003+10:30

Morning lovelies,

I was blog hopping this morning, and saw this at the lovely Miss Flis' blog:

Pay it forward (For creative people): I promise to send something handmade to the first five people who leave a comment on this post. They must in turn, promise to post this and send something they made to the first five people to reply. It must be sent sometime in 2011. It can be anything you have made, from jewellery, cards, sewing... it all counts...

So, I have thrown my hat in the ring... who will be the first five here, I wonder?

KIU March Challenge and one other

2011-03-10T14:21:00.002+10:30

Hi Everyone,

Here is my take on the KIU March challenge, where we had to incorporate the quote 'There is no greater gift than today' on the LO... I've used it as my subtitle, and journalled about the special bond my kids share.

And this next one is one I did for the Flight of Fancy gallery in SBM's submission themes list this month.... something very different for me... but they've said no thanks.... so I thought I'd share it with you good people! What do you think??

Thanks for looking. Warmest wishes, Catie xo

March 123 challenge

2011-03-09T17:12:00.003+10:30

Evening all,

Another quick post for the day! This one is my take on the March 123 Challenge... criteria were light/medium blue, the word 'To/Two/Too' and doilies. I just love blue!! I know I have used this photo for a few LOs now... but I just love it so much, I can't help it!!

Thanks for looking. Warmest wishes, Catie xo

WW1 March Challenge

2011-03-09T13:35:00.002+10:30

Afternoon all,

Just a quick post to share with you my take on the WW1 March challenge... the criteria was bright pink, and artisan shapes and/or products. I used a couple of artisan shapes at the bottom of my photo, and have also used some black and white polka dot Pink Paislee Artisan Tape to frame the photo and in the top left corner of the page. I'm not a huge fan of pink, but actually quite liked this page once I'd finished. Thanks for another great challenge ladies!

KIU February Challenge

2011-02-27T17:42:00.004+10:30

Evening all!

A great challenge, and I am glad I got to it before the end of the month! Thanks girls!

A Lil Sneaky Sneak of Something...

2011-02-22T09:46:00.003+10:30

Morning,

Here's a little tease of what I was working on yesterday and last night.... there's a lot involved in this layout, and I was loving it til I added the glimmermist, then I didn't love it so much, then I thought it was finished, and I really didn't like it... so I left it overnight, and this morning I added some white lace to it... and now I like it again.... anyway... let me know what you think of the sneaks.... will put the whole pic up a little bit later on...

The Latest Additions to the Scrap pile

2011-02-21T12:51:00.006+10:30

Hello lovelies!

Finally the sun has come out and even though it's cold (only 21 degrees here today!!!) I am feeling better for seeing some sunshine!

Here is a bit of what I've been up to the last few days. I am quite restricted in what I can do physically at the moment, awaiting the arrival of these twins in roughly 5 weeks time, so I figured it's the perfect time to get some scrapping done!!

A double recording the lead up to my DS starting school at the beginning of February... I really wanted to document everything involved, so took photos of the whole process... getting his haircut the weekend before, organising the uniform and stationery and pics of his classroom too.
And then of course, we had to have piccies of his actual first day!!

Next one is DD at swimming. This LO is for the Feb monthly sketch challenge over at Bon's. We had to use patterned paper for borders and use a made up word - DD calls her goggles 'Gobbles', so I went with that.

And this last one is for the Feb CC sketch challenge at Bon's (sketch by the talented SBM Master Tara Scobie). We had to use a strip of photos, eyelets and opposite colours (i.e. if photos of a girl, then incorporate boy colours into the LO and vice versa). What a great challenge!

So there you have it.... the latest from my Craft Corner...

Thanks for looking. Warmest wishes, Catie xo

WW1 February Challenge

2011-02-17T19:55:00.003+10:30

Evening All,

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this challenge, and this LO! I think this is my favourite LO, that I have done... here's a few sneaky peeks....

The criteria for the Feb challenge at WW1 was white, brown and vintage... I scrapped a photo of my Dad, dressed for his brother's wedding in 1984... I printed the photo in sepia to go with the vintage theme, and I just love the chocolate brown in the pearls and flowers, and the Tattered Leather and Creme de Chocolate Glimmer Mists.... and here it is!!!

Photos to share

2011-01-31T13:43:00.005+10:30

Evening All,

Yesterday we took my FIL out to Bool Lagoon, which is not far from where we live, to have a looksee at the lagoon when it has water in it. When we went out there in July, it was bone dry, but after all the rain we had during December and January, it is now all but full and teeming with bird life again. It truly is spectacular out there, and well worth the trip in the heat... here are a few of the 100-odd photos I took...

See the froggie??

This photo below is of the flower part of the dried thistles floating on top of the water. I thought it looked just beautiful... kind of like dozens of stars in the sky...

Stuck?!Sketches Jan 1 Challenge

Anyone know what this hideous beast is??

2011-01-28T10:54:00.002+10:30

Morning all,

I was out in the garden this morning picking some lovely roses to put in the house, when I heard a dragonfly buzzing... I've been wanting to get a photo of a dragonfly so badly... so I had a looksie, and noticed it was trapped in a web... then I saw the hideous beast that owns the web... so I thought twice about trying to free the dragonfly (sorry dragonfly!) - I wasn't about to wrestle with the hideous beast!! I went and grabbed the camera instead.... I REALLY REALLY hate spiders, and was trembling the whole time, but wanted to get the pics to see if DH knew what kind of spider it is... do any of you know???

Isn't is just AWFUL LOOKING!!

Thanks for looking. Warmest wishes, Catie xo

WW1 January Challenge and a few more...

2011-01-25T13:49:00.003+10:30

Hello friends!

I have been waiting ALL month for a new cord for our laptop, so I could finally share some LOs with you... the cord still isn't here, but I managed to hijack Mum's computer this arvo, so now I can share... unfortunately the photos of the LOs are a bit dodgy, as I had to quickly snap them this morning, before the drive out to Mum and Dad's, but you get the idea...

First up, my take on the awesome WW1 Challenge for January! Loved this!

Next is the 123 Challenge for January... I think I like how this turned out... the criteria were purple, the word 'beautiful' and using punches.

This one is the CC scraplift over at Bon's - loved this challenge!

This one is for the CC Colour Challenge - the criteria was purple, cream, white and black only, plus a bulldog clip and using a photo of a person, but not of their face. Great challenge!

Next one is my take on the January sketch challenge at Bon's - loved this sketch!

And this one is from the CC at Bon's - the CC sketch challenge.

And last but not least, the ROTM challenge at Bon's - loved this one too.

I've also done the Write Now challenge at Bon's but forgot to photograph it this morning... hopefully that blasted cord arrives before the end of the month!

Thanks for looking. Warmest wishes, Catie xo

Time for a Change

2010-12-30T16:12:00.003+10:30

Hello everybodeeeeeeee!

Thought that, seeing as how the new year is literally just around the corner, it was time for a new look blog..... so 'ere 'tis!

Also, have been doing some more playing with my new toy.... LOVING IT!! Here's a little snippet of some shots for you to peruse.... what do you think? These are all taken in my garden. The rings on the rose was really experimenting... I never had any shots like that from my wedding, so thought I'd have a go myself... my mum has asked me to do some for her to put in her wedding album, too!

So there you have it... probably my last post for 2010. I hope you all have a wonderful time welcoming in the New Year, whatever you may be doing. Best wishes for 2011; may it bring you everything you need and also some of what you want!!

Thanks for looking. Warmest wishes, Catie xo

New Toy!

2010-12-27T21:29:00.003+10:30

Hi and hello!

Did you all have a wonderful Christmas? Ours was nice and quiet and peaceful... a lovely day spent with family.

We went and had a squiz at Harvey Norman in the Boxing Day sales and picked up a really good deal on a new toy for me... an early birthday pressie! So exciting! Today we went to a nearby Lagoon and sort of wild bird reserve, and I had a bit of a play with my new toy... what do you think?

These next couple are ones I took last night, after the battery had been charged for the first time... just experimenting a bit...

I can tell I am going to have lots of fun with this new toy... when I'm not thinking about the part where we have to pay it off! LOL!

Thanks for looking. Warmest wishes, Catie xo

Some to share and Merry Christmas!

2010-12-24T13:00:00.002+10:30

Hello again,

As you may or may not know, earlier this week, the last CC for the year was on over at Bon's Scraps.

This first LO is for the scraplift challenge. We had to lift a LO by the ultra-talented Chantal Vandenberg, and were required to use left over alphas, in true Chantal style, as well as have something Christmassy on the page, and use a doily and/or decorative punch.

I found this LO hard to do... I have always admired and loved Chantal's work, but can in no way do it justice! It was fun trying out something completely different though....

This son-shiny one is for the DT challenge, which was opened up to all of us this month. The criteria were a 2x3 inch photo, glitter, product that is older than 6 months, and yellow. Just about everything on this LO is older than 6 months, and I had a lot of fun getting superfine glitter everywhere! My scrapping area is nice and sparkly now!

Well, that's about all for now. Have a fabulous Christmas whatever you may be doing. Thanks for all your encouraging comments over the course of the year - I really appreciate them all! May your Christmas be filled with fun, laughter, love and many, many special memories!

Thanks for looking. Warmest wishes, Catie xo

Hello friends,

Here we are with another rainy Sunday.... bring me my Summer please!!! It's getting harder and harder to find warm clothes to cover this bump!

Here's a little more digi goodness for you to glimpse...

A Challenge and a Just Because

2010-12-16T13:53:00.002+10:30

Hello all,

Here's my take on the December 15 sketch challenge over at Stuck?!Sketches. Had a lot of fun putting this one together!

And, here's a little Christmas inspiration.......... I am loving playing with the Storybook Creator Plus 3.0 software I have at the moment... I am in the process of making a calendar for next year, and all these digi pages will be trimmed and put into albums.

Stuck?!Sketches Dec 1 Challenge

2010-12-14T16:50:00.002+10:30

Hi and hello!

Here is my take on the sketch over at Stuck?!Sketches. I have been playing with digital scrapping lately, as my traditional stocks are not really inspiring me at the moment... having lots of fun and a bit of frustration as well. Anyway, I'm happy with how this turned out and really loved this sketch.

Thanks for looking. Warmest wishes, Catie xo

WW1 December Challenge

2010-12-03T13:01:00.002+10:30

' Lo again!

Another quick update with my LO for the WW1 December Challenge. The criteria this month is white, grey and masking.... I knew from the outset that this really would be a challenge for me. The CT pages are just gorgeous and so inspiring. I however, have no suitable coloured Glimmermist or the like and thought, 'EEK! What on Earth can I do for this!'

Anyway, I found some grey cardstock, and some chipboard thingies to use as a mask, got out the white paint, stuck everything down and away I went... then I had to find a photo......

So anyhow, the upshot is, I have done a page, and though I'm not sure I'm entirely happy with it, I think it's growing on me... slowly! LOL.

Thanks for looking. Warmest wishes, Catie xo

KIU December Challenge

2010-12-02T14:27:00.002+10:30

Hi Loverlies,

I checked out the December challenge over at Kraft It Up this morning, and just had to get stuck into it straight away! Love it! I've always loved purple, blue and silver as non-traditional Christmas colours, and knew I would have the perfect combo of these colours to use in this challenge. Why not get over there and give it a go!!

Thanks for looking. Warmest wishes, Catie xo

Couple of newbies

2010-12-01T10:19:00.003+10:30

Happy 1st day of Summer!!

I wish it felt like it here... it's grey skies and rain for us today :( BOO!!! Over the horrid weather, I tell you.

Anyway, last night I threw together these couple of LOs...

Enjoy!

Thanks for looking. Warmest wishes, Catie xo

On Wednesday night, the November CC was on at Bon's. This next LO is for the Colour Challenge. Criteria were Kraft, Black, White and Green and to use buttons, brads and a small sideways title.

Next one is for the November monthly sketch, set by Mal Gardner. Loved doing this one. Extra criteria were stamped background, something metal on the page, and a mostly handwritten title.

This one below is for the CC Scraplift Challenge - we got to lift the talented Giovanna Scott! Loved this one! Criteria were scraped paint, hand drawn border and banner/bunting. Really happy with how this one turned out.

This last one is for the CC Sketch challenge, set by Charmane Koch. Criteria were a stitched arrow, at least 3 die cuts/stickers, and a mixed alpha title.

So there you have it. If you're looking for some AMAZING INSPIRATION, go and check out the gallery at Bon's. The girls have been rocking these challenges this month!!!

From Last Night

2010-11-06T20:37:00.005+10:30

Hello Again,

Here's a LO I did last night, just cos, to use up some alphas from my stash. I just realised as I uploaded this, that I have done another LO, with a different photo, with the same name! Ooops! Oh well. They both look very different, and he really is my big kindy boy!

Thanks for looking. Warmest wishes, Catie xo

And some more!

2010-11-05T14:35:00.004+10:30

Hello lovelies,

Today's pages come to you courtesy of 2 different challenges. The first is for the November Write Now Challenge at Bon's Scraps. The criteria included writing a thank you note to someone special in your life, plus at least 2 different alphas and a heart somewhere on the page.

The second LO is for the November challenge at Kraft It Up! and the requirements were to use Kraft and incorporate decorative edges.

I have also started working on something a bit spesh for myself, but will share once it's almost finalised.

Thanks for looking. Warmest wishes, Catie xo

More Scrapping - Yippee!!

2010-11-04T08:43:00.002+10:30

Morning All!

I am so loving getting back into scrapping at the moment! This first LO is for the November Challenge at White With 1. The criteria is white and yellow as predominant colours, and journalling straight onto the LO. I had this yellow doily I found at the op shop, which was just perfect for this challenge.

This second LO is a 'just cos' LO of my DD seeing Dora at Harbour Town. She is Dora MAD!

I wonder what I'll create today???

Thanks for looking. Warmest wishes, Catie xo

I'm Back!

2010-11-02T15:00:00.003+10:30

Hello Everyone!

Finally, I have SCRAPPED!!!!

The first LO is for the awesome sketch challenge by Tara Scobie, from the October CC at Bons Scraps.

The second LO is for the DT Challenge at Bons, also from the October CC. I set two of the criteria, and thought I'd better give it a go myself. The criteria were: Monochromatic, Stars, Blue and Handmade alphas. I like how it turned out in the end.

Hopefully, I'll be able to get back into the groove properly and start producing more pages! I am also looking forward to seeing my first published LO this month....

Thanks for looking. Warmest wishes, Catie xo

Spring is in the air!

2010-09-15T12:27:00.002+09:30

Hooray for Spring - that is all I can say!! It is so lovely to see the sun shining through the window and to feel the sun shining on my skin as we go for our daily walk. Even though there are cool breezes, the sun is delish!!!

What is your favourite thing about Spring? Enjoy it, whatever it may be!

This is a just because LO of DS being a total goof! Too funny!

This was for the July CC Scraplift Challenge at Bon's. We had a scraplift a LO done by Malinda Gardner, and seeing as how I met her a couple of weeks before, I thought it only fitting to scrap the photo of the two of us!

This one is for the July CC Sketch Challenge at Bon's - an awesome sketch by Charmane Koch, which we had to do on a LO size that we don't usually scrap on; I chose 8x8.

And the last one is for the Colour Challenge for the July CC at Bon's. The colours were red, cream, black and white only. Also had to use more than one flower and paint using our fingers. We also had to have an element coming off the page... mine is the tab at the top left of the page.

So, there you have it. The colossus update! Enjoy!!

The Latest

2010-07-22T07:46:00.003+09:30

hello everybody...

I managed to snap these shots before my camera packed it in.... well, it's not quite in that way, but the LCD display on the screen all distorted with lines running across the screen, so that you can't see what you're focussing on... so inconvenient! I do have a collection of grateful photos up until yesterday when the camera decided to be overrun by whatever it is causing that problem, and will upload at a later time...

Anyhoo, these two LOs were made using the kits over at Bon's.

Hopefully I can get my camera fixed asap!

New Look Blog

2010-07-12T21:35:00.004+09:30

Hello everyone!

As you can see, my blog has had a bit of an overhaul... I am not entirely sure that I am happy with it, but perhaps it will grow on me :D

I have had a wonderful weekend with old friends and new; with family, and with God! I have so many things to be thankful for in my life! I will share with you in this post, the first few of my 'everyday grateful' photos...

First, I am thankful for God - He really is so good, and my life just wouldn't be so enriched without so many blessings from Him. I am grateful that I get to see the dawning of a new day everyday and I hope I get to see many new days for many, many years to come. (This pic was sunrise on the way to Melbourne on Saturday). Sunsets are one of my very favourite times of day, because they really are a work of art!
I am grateful for this gorgeous tree, that I have admired numerous time, and hope to take many portraits of our family sitting on it... it really seems to have grown just to have someone sit on that branch!

And I am very, very grateful for my Mum and that amazing person she is - as a Mum and a Nana and a woman. What are you grateful for today?

Thanks for looking. Warmest wishes, Catie xo

New Start

2010-07-09T21:22:00.003+09:30

This week, I've been feeling kind of heavy, and dreary and dull.
I have been battling with being a mum, and, if I am completely honest with myself, being a SAHM... not having intellectual adult conversations everyday (no, not even with DH) and feeling like the only word my children know at the moment is 'Mummy'. I have, however been fortunate enough to receive some very nourishing soul food through worship and time with some amazing God-loving people who are so intoxicated with His love, it's contagious!
And this evening, I read this and it has smacked me right on the front of my head, that I have NO reason to feel dreary and dull and weighed down by the beautiful gift and 'job' I am ever so fortunate to possess. It is so inspiring to read Kelle's blog. In light of this and of my amazing worship experiences this week, I have decided it is time to turn over a new leaf... make a new start as a mum, and really look at the things I appreciate in my children and my family and myself as a mother and wife. It is time to really start living in the moment and focussing on the important things in my life, that I have been taking for granted and very wrongly perceiving as burdensome. I am going to take a photo everyday of the things I am grateful for, and though I may not upload everyday, I will share them from time to time, and will, over time compile them in a very special scrapbook, to share with my family and friends. Here's to a new me!!

Thanks for looking. Warmest wishes, Catie xo

I really, REALLY do NOT {heart} Winter!!!!

2010-07-07T15:43:00.003+09:30

H-h-h-h-e-l-l-o fellow eskimoes!

I don't know how cold it is in your part of the world, but it has been very cold here and I AM OFFICIALLY OVER IT!!!

I really loathe wearing so many layers of clothing! Why is it so impossible to find a jumper that is thicker than a piece of paper, that doesn't look like something Great-Aunt Mildred would have worn in the 80's, and that doesn't cost the same as the deposit for a small car??? Seriously, is it too much to ask that clothes designed for Winter are actually warm?? Today I have no less than 4 layers on, and because they are all so thin, I am still cold.... The only other option is to keep layering up the thin layers until I start looking like Mrs Michelin (Sp?). And as for skirts.... I am yet to find one anywhere around here that is warm, affordable and not made of polyester garbage that sticks to my legs and bunches up so much that it trips me up!! I am beside-myself-sick-to-death of jeans and track pants, and yet it is still only the middle of winter. How am I ever going to survive until Spring???? I think I might just have to hibernate in my bed, with the electric blanket on, until the big thaw!!

(Incidently, does anyone know of some nice, comfortable, affordable, WARM, non-bulky winter clothes I could find somewhere???)

On a totally different note, are you looking for some inspiration? Something to do on these cold winter evenings? Check out the following challenges, and the amazing kits at Bon's:

* monthly sketch

* Room of the Month

* Write Now Challenge

* Paper of the Month

* Girl Kit

* Boy Kit

How delish are these?! Hop to it and get creating!! I'll share mine once I have done them ;)

SIGH

2010-07-06T16:26:00.002+09:30

School holidays... sigh.

The endless days of never having a moment to yourself... sigh.

The constant sounds..."Mummy!" "She won't give me it!" "Mummy!" "OWWWWWW!!!" "Mummy, can we watch tele?" "Mummy, Mummy, Mummmmyyyyyy!!!!" - you know the one - the "I-don't-actually-have-anything-to-say-I-just-wanted-to-scream-your-name-for-the-sake-of-it!" 'Mummy'... sigh.

The little dopplegangers that follow you from the second you open your eyes in the morning, to the loo, to the kitchen and around the island bench, from cupboard to fridge, like an inescapable, lingering presence, to the dining table, to the bathroom, from his room to her room to your room, back to the bathroom, to the laundry, to the clothesline ("can we go outside Mummy?" "ABSOLUTELY!!!" "Oh, Mummy, why are you hanging that up? Here, have a peg...ooops, I dropped my shirt on the ground....") Sigh.

The "I don't want to have a sleep!" accompanied with a high pitched "Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!!" and a stamp of 2 different little feet... sigh.

The endless "Where is.............." questions... "my ball, my crayon, my dinosaur, my car, my book, my block, my stickers, my cool car, my big dinosaur, Dora, Tiggy...." etc... sigh.

The "When's Daddy coming home?" followed closely by "I want Daddddddyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!" and "You're not my friend anymore!"... sigh.

The ever ready stream of "Dowwwwwwwwwwwwn't!" and "Nooooooooooooooooooo, don't touch that!!!".... sigh.

"Mummy, how do you spell.............?" "Mummy, what does 154286254719258412985 make?" "This is miiiiiiinnnnnnnnnne!" by DS to DD, followed by "Sharing, remember" by said DS to said DD when he wants something of hers........ sigh.

And it's only day two! *SIGH*

Thanks for looking. Warmest wishes, Catie xo

Hello lovelies,

Here's a new Glimmermist trick I came up with last night...

I squirted a heap into the lid, then dripped/poured it around the page in a rough circle, then using the edge of the lid, dragged it thru the puddles of GM and 'teased' it out around the circle. Once I was happy with the shape, I blotted it with a tissue, so it didn't run/bleed on the page where I didn't want it. Make sense? Here's how it looks:

If you have a go at this, I'd love to see your page and see how it turns out!! Be sure to let me know!

This next LO is another Kit Comp one at Bon's still using the gorgeous girl kit. The flowers are inspired by the very talented Lynette Van Barrelo - aren't they cute!?

Enjoy your creating, and I really hope to see your pages using the GM trick!!

Thanks for looking. Warmest wishes, Catie xo

Good grief! What's come over me!!

Just wanted to add that you can see the Storybook I am creating for my wedding photos, that I started at the CM Retreat on the June long weekend, here: http://www.facebook.com/editphoto.php?aid=28077&id=124360984246387#!/album.php?aid=28077&id=124360984246387&ref=mf

Also, I am nearly at 30 followers, so once I reach 30, I will do a RAK draw... spread the word and get your friends to come and follow!

Thanks for looking. Warmest wishes, Catie xo
