We had a great weekend with lots of parties, I am astonished I am not tired, it was actually quite nice weekend. Now I have a crazy week ahead of me, I am glad things seen under control. Matty's birthday is almost ready to go, need to get all the little lollie bags ready and make some brigadeiro (little chocolate deserts, yum). My birthday is also all set, I will have a joint party with a close friend who also has her birthday this week. We are going to have a girls night out on Friday night, looking forward to that! It is also the last week of school, which in a way is such a relief for me, it has been a tough year for Matty and we didn't do so well, so I am looking forward to having proper holidays and start fresh next year. I have more to say, but not enough time :P lets just share this weeks free template based on Pencil Lines Sketch 165:

and I got my Kaisercraft sponsorship pack in the mail, great stuff to work with! I think it even got a little of my mojo back:

*sigh* he is so cute :) Have a great week everyone!

I find it hard sometimes to scrap winter themed kits and photos when it is hot in this side of the world. But the weather has been so crazy lately I cant even tell if it is summer or winter. Scorchign days followed by rainy and cold days. No wonder everyone is sick. Anyway, got a photo of Matty out of a frame (cause my printer is still broken), and scrapped the great time he had at the snow fields in Treadbo using the Frosted collection by Michelle Coleman. I made this layout for the Fancy Pants blog:

Here is a little close up of the title (Lotsa Letters chipboard alpha painted with a salmon colour and I made the "melting snow" with a white pen):

The acrylic heart is also from Fancy Pants. Don't the snow theme and acrylic go perfectly together?

and that snow man is almost as cute as my boy :)

This layout reminds me I have a great acrylic mini album to share with you, maybe next week and I don't get swallowed by all the commitments of this time of the year, I have 4 birthdays to attend over the next 7 days and that includes mine :) See you on Sunday with another Pencil Lines template (which I know will be ready because it is DONE hehehe)

Sorry about the late post. I had soooo many hiccups this weekend :) My Photoshop crashed, I had to go days without it, that's why I didn't have the Pencil Lines template ready last week. Matty got an year infection and stayed home Thursday and Friday, he is in school today after finishing a course of antibiotics but still complains sometimes, maybe it it something else wrong with his ears . Mom was meant to arrive from Brazil on Saturday but had to postpone her arrival to Monday. I have been sick with some kind of tummy bug, it has been going on for two weeks and it is starting to... bug me. At least I lost 4 kilos from being sick lol, a good side for everything :) Lastly, and with all that is going on my mojo seems to have gonne out of the window, has anyone seen it? I need it back asap.

Anywaaaay, enough about me and my unimportant problems, life is still wonderful and I still feel blessed so lets give away our weekly template shall we? Here is the template based on Sketch 164 by Melissa from Kaisercraft, what an honour to have her as a guest at Pencil Lines, love her work!

Here is my mojo-less page:

Turn the orange into blue or white and I might just like this page... what was I thinking? hehe

Have a great week everyone!

Hi all, all ok here, Matty is sick again but started taking antibiotics and is on the mend, after being sick last week it was no surprised he got an ear infection. I had a busy couple of days with Alex's birthday, cleaning the house, being at Matty's school trying to break the air guitar ensemble world record, and other normal mommy duties including having a nap with my sick boy yesterday afternoon. My night scrap time has also been taken by Fei, my night elf hunter at World of Warcraft, so I havent been making much. Mom is coming to Australia to spend our birthdays, Christmas and New Years with us, so it is possible I will have a "holiday" of sorts unless she encourages me to create more instead :)

Enough about me though, I wanted to show you the new Fancy Pants Release:

Aren't they gorgeous? You can see some pages using these two collections on the Fancy Pants blog, including this page by me using the Frosted collection by Michelle Coleman:

and here is a little close up:

Expect more pages with these collections in the future :)

Hi all, how has your weekend been? We did a lot of celebrating over the last few days, and now we are exhausted and everyone is sick in this household. Lucas had a great time on his birthday and yesterday on his birthday party and Matty had so much of a great time this morning I had to take him to the hospital. His asthma was so bad even with medication I could not settle him down, poor munchkin. He is ok now, playing video games and ever so happy he didn't have to go to school, very different to the sickly kid begging me to help him breath 5 hours ago. I have to get control over this thing, it is getting scary.

Anyway, lets see him at his best? Dancing and twirling and being his happy self? Here is my layout for Pencil Lines this week, using Fancy Pants' Dancing girl line designed by Lili:

A little close up:

who said this kit was for girls? just the name! hehe

Here is his week's free template with sketch by yours truly:

I have a new release this Tuesday, but other than that might be a little quiet this week taking care of my boy.

xoxo

For my page I used Lili's Dancing Girl papers from Fancy Pants:

The glitter cuts are "delicious":

I love this collection :)

I have some fun hybrid stuff to share tomorrow and will post my guest for November soon! xoxo

A quick page share:

Look at his face, isn't it funny? he is doing that all the time now, scrunching up his face to "smile" haha

I did this page for the Fancy Pants blog to showcase these cool Kraft Kuts: That boy paper. I also use the Kraft stickers and some older Playhouse buttons. Here is a close up of the goodies:

My printer is driving me insaaaane. It is printing everything with black splats and I have been "creatively" covering it up but I am starting to get sick of it. Try to catch on all my latest layouts where the black splotch was and what I used to cover it up hehehe, at least someone might find that fun ;)

Have a great weekend, I'll be back on Sunday with another free template for Pencil Lines.

This week Pencil Lines teamed up with the gals at The Next Step. It was a lot of fun putting my spooky treat layout together, specially using ribbons from May Arts, they are super creative. But we forgot to use "treats" (basically candy wraps) in our layouts... oops :) It still was a great collaboration. Here is my page:

I folded and stitched the big orange May Arts ribbon on top of the red one, which was so perfect for the page and theme :)

Papers, journaling sticker and journaling paper from Fancy Pants' Trick or Treat Collection by Michelle Coleman, Making Memories tiny alphas.

If you are wondering about this week's free template, we didn't forget you!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone, the week is flying by, today I have just a quick layout share :) I created this one for the Fancy Pants Blog:

Couldn't get a good shot of this one for some reason, but here are some close up photos:

Everything from Michelle Coleman's Trick or Treat Collection except ribbon from About a Boy and I think there are some extra buttons from On a Whimsy.

I am not really happy about the white border, and with the magic of digital I removed it to see if I was right:

I actually like the page without the border better and will think twice before playing like that again :P

Have a great weekend!
