Welcome to 2010! I can't believe another year has rolled around, and I am sure this one will disappear just as quickly as the last one. Although I am secretly hoping that it will slow down just a little this time!
Christmas was good for us, and lasted about 4 days! After that we were all well and truly over festive food! Liam's comment after having sausages and salad (normal food!) for dinner a couple of days ago - "Mmmm, that was so good". Funny, but summed up how we were all feeling I think!
The kids got plenty of cool presents mainly around Lego, DS games and Ben 10! I scored a new Slice card (Under the Sea) and a great new lamp for my desk. So I am pretty happy too! I have even had some time for scrapping, which has been nice.
The January challenge is now up over at
Out of the Hat, so make sure you check it out. I have done my sample with the criteria, which are:
1. Use circles some where
2. Used striped paper
3. One word title
And my result is this page about a Kindy creation made by Liam.
I have been playing with flowers again on another couple of pages. I read a technique on the
Creating Keepsake blog for these scrunched flowers and I must say they turned out quite well. I think I will use this idea again. Although one little tip, don't use paper that is too thick! After making the flowers I sprayed them with some glimmer mist for extra sparkle!
This last layout (using some older photos again), I made layered flowers with paper and felt. I really like the simplicity of these kinds of flowers, and how you can so easily create embellishments to match your page from a few scraps! I also ran the chipboard title through the Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots embossing folder, something I will be doing again!
Well, I have some photos to edit now, so I will keep going. I will share some of these Christmas photos soon!
Catch you soon.

Love the look of that scrunched flowers, might have to give them a go :) Love your OOTH creation, must put this on my to do list this month :)
Acutally, with all the different flowers you are coming up with lately, you should run a flower workshop at SBC or at the retreat :) Creating a LO with a whole range of different flowers you have made. :)
