Hellllooooooo.....

Testing, testing... I'm not sure this blog still works LOL!!! That's probably got a lot to do with the person that is suppose to update it hey? 

How is everyone? I hope you are well. I've been on the outskirts of things lately... not scrapping much; not always getting to check in with all your lovely blogs nearly as much as I like to and we won't even mention my poor unfortunate blog now will we :-(  Anyway, hopefully things will get back to normal now, life just got in the way for a while.

I thought I'd just do a very quick catch up on some of the very few pages I've done in the months since my last update.

Firstly some pages with gorgeous Handmade Halo products.

 

 

 

Secondly, some with some fabulous Rainbow Splendour goodies.

The first one actually has both Handmade Halo & Rainbow Splendour yumminess on there... perfect combination :-)



 

And these were for some challenges :-)



Thanks if you managed to make it to the end LOL!  I'm happy that I'm caught up with putting my pages up but sorry if it was a bit long winded.

I've been having fun doing the Olympiad Challenges over at Scrapz.Biz so I will have a few more shares for you soon :)

Take care everyone & stay warm :-)

Life seems...

to be one big catch-up all the time doesn't it??? As long as we are making the most of it while it zooms past is the main thing :-)

So I have a couple of pages to share YAY!!

I did this first page using some of the newest Rainbow Splendour goodies from Chloe's last sale. I love denim!! I just about live in my jeans & I'm also finding I love denim on my pages too. The new denim pinwheels are fabulous!! I've used a teal & a yellow one on this page. I also have one of the super cute lady beetles on there too... they are so sweet!

There's also a fantastic Handmade Halo pebble & a couple of Lime Tree Creations flowers tucked in there too :-)

I used a sketch by the talented Sheree from Scrapz.Biz for this page & there was the added criteria of using an inspirational quote... the one I used is so true I think.

My next page I created using beautiful Handmade Halo mulberry flowers & a gorgeous charm. There's a great chance to win some fabulous Halo goodies ($50 worth!!) if you upload a page using some of these Halo mulberry flowers to the Halo FB page by tonight :-) I liked using the quote on my last page so I used another one on this page as well.

I hope everyone has a fabulous Mother's Day tomorrow!! whether you are being spoilt or you are doing the spoiling :-)

Thanks for dropping by & thanks again for all the lovely comments that you leave for me :-)

Take care
Angela xxoo

I'm guilty...

of neglecting my blog aren't I? Oh dear! I'll have to try harder.  I'll do a "little" catch up post so if you manage to get to the end THANK YOU!! :-)

Firstly a page that I did for the Lime Tree Creations April challenge. Becci set a fabulous sketch that I just had to use and this is the page that resulted.

I used some of the gorgeous ScrapCake "One Moment in Time" papers (which you can get here... One Moment in Time ) and lots of Handmade Halo goodies :-)  Look at those gorgeous Corinne made flowers!! the super adorable pebbledashers; those fabulous doilies AND to top it all off perfectly the sweetest butterfly charm. And of course some Lime Tree Creations crochet trim... YUM!

In this next page I've used some gorgeous new Handmade Halo resin & flowers as well as some beautiful pebbledashers... I was spoilt for choice from my yummy Halo stash!

I was drawn to the cute Halo robot buttons & cog pebbles so I used them with some cute photos of my two boys that have been sitting on my desk for a while. My two VERY cheeky boys!! :-)

Next up is a Step-by-step challenge set by Chloe at Scrapz.Biz. I've used lots of yummy handmade embellies on this page from A lil' Somethin and Apple Tree Lane Designs.

 AND last but not least (I hope LOL!) is a Scrapz.Biz Scrap it Blind challenge set by Aga. Look at those gorgeous Rainbow Splendour trees!! & my favourite, must go to embellie... mini pinwheels!! :-) I just love this photo of my DS1... he has always loved being outside helping his Dad.

Thanks so much for sticking with this loooonnngg post... I do have another page to share but I haven't photographed it yet so I'll have to make sure I do that soon & stay up to date from now on :-)

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!!

Nearly here :-)

Easter that is :-)

I thought I'd pop in & share a page that I did for Chloe's Scrap it Blind challenge at Scrapz.Biz last month. I used some Handmade Halo charms which really suited the 7Dots Studio paper line that I used.

I also wanted to let you know about Samantha's April giveaway... YUMMO!!! Pop over & check it out. Samantha is one talented girl too & her wonderful work always inspires me :-)



Well, I have two little boys having races around the house so I'd better go & "gently direct" them outside LOL!!!

Have a wonderful & safe Easter everyone!

An easy day?????

It was our show holiday today so it should have been a relaxing day but the kidlets decided it was a good day to fight between themselves most of the day *sigh*.  I was going to scrap but it didn't happen... hopefully tonight :-)

So I thought I'd share a couple of pages this evening  :-)

When I got this cute fimo dinosaur made by the lovely Corinne (Handmade Halo) I knew I had to make it the focus of my page. I absolutely love these photos of my DS1 & I melt every time I look at them so they were perfect to use with my gorgeous little dinosuar :-)

I've also used some cute dinosaur pebbledashers that you can get here...
And a gorgeous Super Star by Charm.

This next page I did for Sheree's sketch challenge at Scrapz.biz. I used a lovely Handmade Halo charm & some yummy Purple Pumpkin embellies. These are photos of my DD's very first cross country run when she was a very little preppie... so cute!!!

I hope everyone that has kidlets starting holidays tomorrow have a great, relaxing couple of weeks. For those that have to wait a little longer I'm sending you some strength to get through the last bit of term :-)

Take care my lovely scrappy friends! xx

Some weekend shares :-)

Hi everyone! How's your weekend going? I hope you've had a chance to have some fun & be creative. I've been lucky enough to have some scrapping time this weekend but I've also been doing a fair bit of school P&C work as well... hmmmmm think I may have forgotten about the housework LOL!

I did this page for a Scrap it Blind challenge set by Sheree over at Scrapz.biz this month. I've used a fabulous Rainbow splendour star paperclip (such a great centre piece & perfect for those boy pages!) & a couple of mini pinwheels. I just love the mini pinwheels... so versatile & they add the perfect little touch to a page :-)

And those awesomely cute fabric buttons are from my Handmade Halo stash :-)

I had a chance to play with the gorgeous new "One Moment in Time" Scrap Cake papers yesterday. These papers are so pretty & such wonderful quality! Pop over to Handmade Halo & have a look at them. I teamed the new papers with some gorgeous new resin, pebbledashers, lace & Corinne's handmade flowers... all so wonderful to work with. Check out the amazing resin heart!! They will be available at HH soon :-)

I'm going to enter this page in a pleating challenge at C'est Magnifique as well. Can you see my pleating??... it's under the title :-)

 I have a few more things to share but I won't bombard you all at once LOL!
Take care everyone & thanks for popping in & for your fabulous comments!!

Our Clown

I've been meaning to get this page up for ages but life gets a tad busy at times!!! You all know exactly what that's like I'm sure :-)

I've used some Pretty Little Studio "Clowning Around" papers & embellishments on this one... I just LOVE the clowns in this range!! I've also used a resin frame with a lovely owl charm, a cute printed transparency, that adorable bee button & also the chippie film strip which I altered with some glimmer mist & paint. All lovelies from my Handmade Halo stash. There is always gorgeous new things going into the store too so check in regularly or like Handmade Halo's Facebook page to see (or should I say drool over) all the new releases :-)

Have a great day everyone & take care
xxoo

How could...

the Easter Bunny resist these two faces????  I just love this photo of my older two together after they had excitedly collected all the eggs that had fallen out of the Eater Bunny's pouch LOL!!

I used one of the 12" doilies from Handmade Halo which are so yummy!! I was going to use mist or paint on it but then I really liked the freshness of the white against my pink background paper so decided to leave it as is :-)

I've also used another silky secrets flower (I'm in love with these!); some fabric stickers; buttons & that cute little chippie bird. There's also the gorgeous Lime Tree Creations trim & flower created by Becci for Halo (Becci is an amazing crocheter!).  Lots of gorgeous Handmade Halo products :-)

And I thought that super sweet Rainbow Splendour bow matched just perfectly :-)

Here's a close-up of some Halo goodness :-)

I have another page to share so I'll be back soon with that one :-) 
Take care everyone.

Halo Heaven

Hi everone :-) I hope you all have a lovely weekend planned with maybe a bit of time for some creating in there somewhere.

I had fun playing with lots of my gorgeous Handmade Halo goodies during the week & came up with this page. Just about everything on the page is Halo goodness & I don't think I could even pick a favourite because everything is just SO gorgeous. I've used the Bomb Tulles & Silky Secret flowers (these are absolutely beautiful!); some pretty pearl trim; an antique brass frame & bird; a resin cameo, bird & flowers; a beautiful chipboard page overlay & the Pretty Little Studio "Summer Breeze" collection :-)

and some close ups :-)

Corinne really does a superb job making these gorgeous flowers... they are SO well made & SO beautiful.

Thanks for dropping in for a look & thanks again for your very encouraging comments... I just love getting them :-)

Have a fabulous weekend!!

Sheree's sketch

I really liked this sketch that Sheree did for the Fetch A Sketch challenge last week...

so I had a play with it and came up with this...

I used one of Corinne's fabulous rope flowers which I thought was perfect for the beachy theme especially with that amazing anchor charm attached. I've also used a couple of gorgeous resin flowers... I just adore resin & I think I have a slight addiction LOL! Here's a close up of the Handmade Halo goodness for you :-)

Have a great day everyone!

Scrap It Blind

One of my favourite challenges over at Scrapz.Biz is the Scrap it Blind... the DT girls give you written instructions (but no pic hehe...) of a page & you create your page from your interpretation of those instructions :-) I got a chance to do the lovely Chloe's SIB challenge last week & this is what I came up with.

I'm quite liking the end result :-) I used a couple of goodies from my Handmade Halo stash too... a lovely applique flower which I've placed under a resin flower.

It's pretty hot here today... I hope the weather isn't too bad in your neck of the woods today. I've got to go to a P&C meeting now so better get moving.

Thanks for dropping by :-)

Exciting Handmade Halo News

Hi everyone :-)

I hope all those with school age kidlets have had a good return to school or introduction to school... I know a lot of my scrappy friends have little ones starting this year. My youngest has taken to prep like the proverbial duck to water & loves it.

I have some exciting news & some shares for you tonight.

Firstly, I was asked by the lovely Corinne to join the DT at Handmade Halo. Whoohoo!!! how exciting!... my first foray into the scrapping DT world & I thank Corinne for inviting me :-)

Secondly, there is going to be a sale tomorrow at Handmade Halo's new store and there is some VERY yummy new products being created especially. You can check some of the new things out tonight on the facebook page :-)

I received a fabulous package of Handmade Halo goodies last week & got a chance to play on the weekend...

On this first page I used PLS (Pretty Little Studio) "Summer Breeze" papers & lots of gorgeous embellishments from Handmade Halo.

Look at that gorgeous handmade flower (Corinne makes gorgeous flowers!); I just loved the fabric butterfly; not to mention the yummy resin flowers and that pretty bird charm.

And what about this resin!!!!

My second page is using the PLS "Clowning Around" collection. This is such a bright, fun collection... exactly what I like to work with :-) I used a sketch set by the lovely Sheree over at Scrapz.biz for this page.

The accessories that match this line are so cute! and look at that sweet button!

I love these resin frames. I cut a small photo to fit inside.

So there we go, my very first Handmade Halo DT post... I hope I did OK? and I hope you like the gorgeous products that I got to play with. Head over to the Shop tomorrow (Wednesday 1st Feb) for the big sale YAY!!!

Thanks for popping in girls :-)  Have a great night!
