Time for a Change

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!

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!

Some to share and Merry Christmas!

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

On a Roll!

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...

Happy Sunday, and I hope the weather is warm whereever you are reading this from in the world (though I'm guessing not if you're in the Northern Hemisphere!).

A Challenge and a Just Because

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.
Thanks for looking. Warmest wishes, Catie xo

Stuck?!Sketches Dec 1 Challenge

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
