Just sharing some of my weekend achievements...

So just sharing what I made at the retreat on the weekend.....On these I just used papers from the Bo Bunny Enchanted Collection and some stamped images,with a hint of red - really enjoyed making these, quick and easy!!

Putting one together...

I have soooo many of these 'kits' obviously I like them a lot!! So I chucked this one in at the last minute - well I have to admit I really enjoyed putting it together - the Frame is from Scrapware, the clock is from Scapmatts, metal flower is a Graphic 45 product - love these flowers....and the frame is a Tim Holtz product (of course!) the frame at the bottom is a white resin frame that I poured myself with a gorgeous mould that I have and you can't really see on the photo, but I used glossy accents in the 3 dark squares and in the oval Tim frame. The papers underneath are from the Bo Bunny Enchanted Collection...

Off to Katoomba we go...

So this is everything I have packed for the weekend - not bad I reckon and if my MOJO fails me I will just read the message on my bag!!

Oh yeah, I suppose I should pack some clothes, toiletries, bedding and of course some munchies :)

Lets see if I actually come home with anything made...

Tims Class at Coogee Bay Hotel 2012

This is what we made with the amazing Tim Holtz - totally fantastic - this guy was the best teacher I have ever had, the class went smoothly, he was most obliging in so many ways.....Best Day!!!

Tim and I...

This makes me smile :)

Tim and the gang...

Totally AWESOME!!

Tim, Mario and Me...

So finally had my photo with Tim and Mario - just like Margaret did back in 2010 - we are hoping one day it will be the 4 of us in the SAME photo!! Now that would be cool....

The signing process...

 Had a lot of fun - can you tell??? :)

Signed items...

 

Being silly at the end of a great day...

So after it was all over and done with, we took this photo - it was a great day!

Playing with crayons...

A little bit of fun :)
I have bought lots of packs of crayons because all I wanted was the white one to do that resist method - so I have packs of coloured crayons - saw this on the internet and thought I would play around - love, love, love the effect...

Charm swap...

Instructions were that they are no bigger than an inch tall. I made the paper beads out of Asian paper and then painted them with 4 coats of glossy accents - once dried I wire wrapped them, added some beads and they were done! Actually had a lot of fun making them - will make more paper beads out of the hoards of scrap-booking papers that I own and will probably never ever use - I think the scrap-booking papers are much thicker will make a much denser bead - off to play....

Women in Literature...

The latest VFB for PaperArts - Women in Literature, thought I would keep it close to home - I love a Sunburnt Country....

Doorways

PaperArts is running a Vintage Fat Book Swap - the first one I signed up for was 'Doorways' here is my interpretation of it...

Been busy...

Not sure doing what :) I know I have been neglecting my blog - I think I struggle with the concept of keeping it up to date and posting to it regularly, but I have re-vamped it and changed the name, so hopefully that will be more than enough to entice me to add to it.

Serendipity - just love saying that word, makes me smile! Kinda like my life, 'happy accident' or 'pleasant surprise'...

fingers crossed and lets see what happens...
