I have wanted to start a blog for such a long time, so here it is. The idea behind this blog is to share my scrapbooking, card making, patchwork, sewing, and other crafty endeavours. In between the never ending loads of washing and dishes that having a toddler in the house creates and reading hundreds of Thomas the Tank Engine books, I love to escape to my craft room for a few minutes of solitude.
Week in the life – Looking at Monday
For the third year in a row (yay, WITL hat trick!) I'm joining Ali Edwards (aliedwards.com) and memory keepers from all over the world in a documentation project that takes a detailed look into a week in our life. I love this project and these albums are by far one of my favourite things to …
Cut it out – for the absolute LOVE of digital cut files!
Warning: Photo Heavy Post! I've been so busy with life, and with actually creating, that it has been a while since I shared much on here, so I thought I'd share a few of my recent creations. It is quite possible (certain in fact) that I am a little bit obsessed with digital cut files, …

It’s a Date! May 2018 Kraft + Challenge
I was excited to see the theme for this month's Kraft + challenge was all about dates (and not the type you eat!) The first thought I had was that I'd like to do a layout that features a time line of some sort. I wasn't necessarily after a really traditional timeline though, and decided …
Mamma Mia! I have scrapped again!
I am very excited to be this month's guest designed at Kraft + Challenges! When I first saw the theme/moodboard I was a little bit daunted, but this is meant to be a challenge after all, so I decided to go for it! I looked at the mood board for quite some time, and then …
Oh baby! January Off the Rails Challenge
This month's challenge from Off the Rails Scrapbooking was just the push I needed to add another page to my little man's baby album. I loved the clouds in their mood board image, so decided to go with that theme for my page. I used a gorgeous cut file from Paper Issues (modified slightly due to …
Hit me with a caffeine shot – January Kraft + Challenge
I don't drink coffee very often anymore, because our feelings about each other aren't mutual (I love it, it doesn't love me!). However, on the odd occasion I order a coffee or hot chocolate when out and about, my little guy insists that he needs 'a little coffee' too. Buying him a drink of his …

White… With 1 – Bayou Blue
Happy New Year everyone. I hope 2018 is getting off to a great start for you, wherever you may be. It is sunny and hot here in Perth today, and hubby has just disappeared down the beach for a while with our toddler so I am enjoying total silence here (ah, bliss!). I'm here today …
White… With One, Watermelon Red
As much as I love patterned paper, my favourite background material is definitely card stock, preferably in Kraft or White. So, every month I look forward to the White... With One challenge to see what colour I am going to pair with white. And in exciting news, I will be joining their Design Team in …
Kraft + December Challenge – Photo Inspo
There were so many gorgeous things in this photo from Kraft+ this month that I didn't know where to start! The first thing that actually caught my eye was the rug under the table/carpet in the top inset photo. This reminds me of the carpet my husband had in his childhood bedroom that we later …
Deck the Halls with December Daily…
Or boughs of Holly if you prefer! But here in Australia it's a bit warm for that, plus December Daily is less prickly. I'm just putting the finishing touches on my week 3 spreads for December Daily but thought first I'd pop in here and share what I put together for week 2. I'm getting …
