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!
