Chase a rainbow

Good Golly

Christmas has come early this year but with all the gorgeous new papers arriving it's hard not to be inspired! A couple using the new Cosmo Cricket, I might have to use this for my December project this year.

Of course I can't resist all the yummy Websters in now, this one for their Sept. challenge using a calendar.

Lastly, a layout and card using My Minds Eye.

A new love...

Graphic 45, gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. Very me and i love it. Have been scrapping up a storm this weekend, I don't know what's got into me but I like it! Must be all the great new papers arriving at the Imagination Factory.
The first is mainly Graphic 45, for their August challenge.

Websters and Graphic 45, they go beautifully together too!

And a couple of "Ben" moments I didn't want to forget.

well that's all for now, Bern xx

American Crafts Challenge

I love these challenges, this week is to create a layout with a red, white and blue color scheme. I didn't think to do one of my American photos so i just might have to do another now! But here is this one, just about everything is AC. Subway thickers, Craft Fair, Teen and Spring and Summer Papers.

Sadly one of my last LO's for Lime Tart, I have absolutely loved my time there, thankyou so much Philippa for such a wonderful opportunity xx

And a couple of new ones for the Imagination Factory, I am thrilled to say I have been chosen to be part of their design team for the next 12 months.  Jenni Bowlin's new line which I love!

Poor Rube she doesn't have much choice but to play footy and soccer!
well that's about all for now,

Hurry! Hurry!

Be quick for this fantastic offer, it's a great chance to stock up on some fantastic stamps for yourself and for gifts.
We've gone a little crazy at Lime Tart and want to clear some shelf space so we've done a stocktake of our Odd Bird Planet stamps and have put every single one of them on special. Now this just isn't any normal sale, this is insane. You should see the stamps that we've got priced at 65% off! Yes that's right, some of them start as low as $2.34! Yes they are all woodmounted, and all new. Get in now, because once they are gone, they are gone. *subscribers - you can buy now and we'll hold until your May kit is ready to go out*.

introducing....

these gorgeous babies!! My very talented sister is making her beautiful bags again, bigger and better than ever but i'm having trouble uploading photos in the shop so you can email me direct if you have any inquiries. She has several designs (old style and new) and lots of gorgeous fabrics, and as an introductory offer they are only $50!! But only until Mother's day, great or what??

april kits

Aren't they all just divine??? Go here now and snap them up before they all sell out!

 

Craft Fair

This weeks callenge at American Crafts was using the craft fair line in a non girly way, the gorgeous papers make it so easy. I've used Brown Sugar and Robin's Eggs cardstock, Craft Fair papers, journaling sticker and Eggnog and Subway thickers.

I'll be back with something special for the shop a bit later but for now if you haven't checked out the April lime tart kits yet GO! Here's a sneaky peak......

i love thickers!!

Well I should I have enough of them! So a challenge using them at the American Crafts site was enough to inspire me to do this layout. I've used (hot pink) daiquiri, (aqua) eggnog, (green) sprinkes and (white) subway.

I think I will just put a few sneaks of the march Lime Tart gallery and you will have to go over here to see the rest of the gorgeous creations. It is sadly the last month for our guest designers Fran and Kerryn, they have done an awsome job once again.

Have a great Monday, xx

Feb gallery

Well today is gallery day so head over to lime tart  and see what the other girls have done, they are just gorgeous! The full tart is lots of yummy My Minds Eye, the laundry line and perfect for Ruby's first day.

My fav I think, the dress the crochet flowers come on was just too cute not to use!

Lastly a LO with the gorgeous new Amy Butler line for this weeks sketch at Pencillines.

decisions, decisions.....

 It's only taken me all month to start but I have finally done a week in my 365 album (ok so it's not even week 1 but it doesn't matter, I've started!). Who would think something so simple could cause so much procrastination, what size, design, what type of album, etc etc and then there is choosing ONE photo a day! I think that's the hardest part of all. Anyway, here is a sneak of it using the full tart, did I mention how gorgeous it is???

On another note I was thrilled to be the guest at Scrapjack this month, it is a gorgeous layout by Kate Mason. Ironically I had kept a favourite floral napkin tucked away similar to one that I had seen Kate use years ago so it was nice to finally use it. Thanks Lou xx

and just a couple more...

one of my favs because it's just so Ben! The chocolates I made from my ceramic discs and were so much fun. xx
