This was one of the most delightful jobs I have done! I created a mini album for my friend Jean, for the Mini Me an Album group on Your Paper Pantry. Everytime we talk, Jean always asks about our New Zealand slang words etc, so I decided to theme her mini around our kiwi language, called "Kiwi 101". I used a colour palette of blues/greens, to reflect our beautiful scenery, and used a mixture if buttons, flowers, swirl stamps, paua shells etc to embellish. Each page was a different design, all with hidden journalling spots. On the outside was the word/phrase, and inside the journalling spot was the meaning behind the saying. I also added a bit of New Zealand Trivia here and there. And the very last suprise was a certificate awarded to Jean for passing "Kiwi 101".

More Firsts
Wow, where has September gone? Only 3 months till Christmas, how did that happen?
Here are some mnore firsts for me....Stick pins and ATC's. Yes, I know, bit slow on the old bandwagon, but better late than never!
The stick pins were done for a swap on Crafting Passionz, a New Zealand-Australian site just started up by Shar. It's getting more and more members every day with quite a few swaps already going and swapping. Check it out here
I decided on a "spring flowers" theme. I used sead beads ot make the "petals" around the bottom of the first bead. Then used green sead beads for the "stem".
The second pin, just a mixture of sead beads and a cool metallic bead, with a pewter type resin flower bead.
This was my first foray into ATC's. Great little works of art and very fun to make.
This was for a swap on Scrapbook Dreams, another New Zealand website run by Shell, that has an online shop and fantastic forum to join in on. Have a look here
The theme was "It's a Chick thing". I choose to concentrate on the pretty things we can do as chicks! The dress shape was cut out from my Silhouette, with ribbon, gems and Kindy Glitz added.
So that's all for now.
Have a good day, week, weekend, hour!

Happy 1st Day of Spring

It's the 1st of September, it's the 1st day of Spring and it's the 1st day of this blog!
It's about life, it's about scrapbooking, it's about family, it's about creativity, it's about inspiration.
It's going to be scraps of my life, whatever they might be.
Welcome!
