An oldie but a goodie.........You R The Apple Of My Eye

I was going back over some of my fave projects and came across this OTP that I completed at Scrapz Biz going back to March. You know when you're really proud of yourself for doing something.........well this is one of them.

We had to create a framed work of art and include a shape of some sort - like a heart - I chose an apple of course!!!!! I hand drew the apple on to thick cardboard, cut it out and then went ahead and used a lot of red buttons to cover the apple. I was really pleased how it turned out.

I used Sassafrass Lass and October Afternoon pp's, mixed alphas, tickets and one of my fave photos of Sean and the kids taken outside Myer Windows at Christmas a couple of years ago.

Good times!!!!!

Scrapz Biggest Loser at Scrapz Biz

I have been joining in the fun over at Scrap Biz. They are holding a Biggest Loser comp everyday it’s been running since January 1 til January 20. Plenty of great things happening.

The main idea is to “use it”, “lose it” and “move it”. Use up those scraps of paper, cardstock etc, Lose the goods you don’t use anymore or never have and move things – tidy things that sort of stuff. It also incorporates some good things for the body and mind – do some incidental exercising, eat healthily, drink water. So all in all its a great challenge. Join in if you like.

Here is my challenge for Day 2 – Origami Box and matching card set

This was stacks of fun.

Thanks for popping in – I will be adding more challenges as I complete them.

I am truly blessed!!!

I am truly blessed with the dearest of friends.

In the last week I have received the most gorgeous little gifts from 2 dear friends - and you know why? Just because!!!!!! Isn't that lovely. I was really touched that my friends were out shopping, saw these goodies and thought of me. How nice.

Thank you dear friends. I luv ya to bits.

First one is a gorgeous little chubby bird - she has the cutest little face - hey she has the same figure as me...............LOL...........no seriously!!!!! LOL!!!!

And the second one is another goodie to add to my Apple Collection. My kitchen has all sorts of apple collectables and I love all of them. This one is a handwash dispenser. How cool is that? Way cool I say. Now I need to find some nice handwash to pop in it.

There we are just thought I'd share.

I LUV APPLES

Here is a canvas I completed this weekend in conjunction with Little Scrapbook Shop October Cybercrop Challenge. The theme for this month's challenges is "Haberdashery" so I have added all bits and pieces form my habby stash. Fabric, felt, trims, buttons, pins etc. I must say I had stacks of fun with this challenge.

As you can see I DO luv apples. I have a nice collection of all types of apples in my kitchen - from china, wood, clay, wire etc - you name it I probably have it in the way of apples. There is just something about them that makes me happy. So I will have to make way for this little canvas now - it will fit right in!!!!

TFL - hope you are having a beaut weekend.

I Love Apples

Next card for World Card Making Day. This time it's for a challenge I found at Torn Paper

The Challenge was to use "apples" on a card. Well hello - I just happen to absolutley love apples.

So here is my card.

The apple stamp is by Sassafrass Lass - stamped it 3 times in red and once in green. For the centre of the green apple I used an apple eyelet that I bought years ago - just the thing for the centre of the apple. I also used some red/white gathered gingham, brads, the new Fiskars Threading Water punch and my good old dymo label using red tape with "I love apples" of course!!!!!

Had fun with this one.

Look what I made last night.............after a hard day and all.

This is a little album I made last night after the biggest day - but I was determined to get it done.

It was for the challenge over at Little Scrapbook Shop. We had to create an album using a different shape other than square or rectangular. So I came up with a tree. It can actually stand up which I was impressed about after I discovered it.............LOL.

I just drew the tree, cut it from thick cardboard and added lots of bits and pieces.

As the title says "its the simple things"- so that is what I am going to add to the pages. Just little snippets of things that I love.

Here are the shots. I've gone for the good old "rustic" look - one of my fave techniques as it doesn't call for perfection - something which I'm not very good at!!!! LOL

Thanks for popping by.

All Things Grow With Love

The Challenge was to use buttons as the only embellishment so I came up with this idea.

Thanks for looking.
