About Me

My photo
Hi I live in a rural town of Hort growers but only 35 mins from Auckland. I have a passion for Interior Design, and grow a few hundred or so of Topiary Buxus. My husband is Mike and we have been married 35 years with two sons, Shane 22 and Ryan 19 who race a midget and Sprintcar. They have both been NZ Champions and we are extremely proud of them. We have Humphrey the cat and my dear wee Bella a Affenpincher (monkey dog). I will now be forever poor in cash as my awsome girlfriend introduced me to scrapbooking and now we are crazy with it. My wish list grows by the day lol. We have stay-overs and each one sets different challenges for LOs. Life is very very busy and all I hope for in time is to have more for this addictive passion. A great outlet for my greative internal build-up of ideas. My motto is LIVE LOVE LAUGH & SCRAP

RUGBY

LO for SGC, Black & White with splash of green colour. My Great Nephew just started rugby so in this LO I have glamor misted with Olive stamped with Tim H, Hand stitched with black embroidery cotton and smooch painted the large R.

WALKING ON THIN ICE

This LO is for the SGC on a winter inspired photo when we dared our son to walk over a ice pond, don't worry it was only about a foot deep. I have heat embossed the top of the gate and lamp post to make it look like snow sitting on it and cut out snow flakes with my cricut & embossed. I also hung a row of crystals under the photo and cut out jagged paper to resemble icicle's. I have used clear embossing on the leaf pattern to give it a wet look.
