My Neighbourhood Card

As soon as I finished designing the "My Neighbourhood" set I knew what kind of card I wanted to create. It features every element that's included in the collection along with one of the mix and match sentiments. Not long after I finished making it, my oldest child grabbed it to give to a friend for his birthday... luckily I had time to take a couple of photos!

New Release: My Neighbourhood

This is probably my favourite release for this month. I love the sketchy look of the images and the lovely bright colours, plus I think it will be useful for lots of occasions with a little tweak here and there. I'm planning to string some Christmas lights between the houses and add a little snow to the rooftops. Ooooh, and a little bride and groom outside the church would be cute too!

Recipe Book

After losing all my recipes from an app on my iPad that was no longer updating, I decided it was time to go "Old School" again. Luckily I still have copies of all the recipes I lost.

Just Desserts

Here's another page from the catalogue I'm creating. These stamps are from the Just Desserts clear stamp set and they've all been coloured with Prismacolor pencils. The notebook is just an ordinary sketch book available at your local art supply store and filled with cartridge paper.

Black and White

I kept the colouring to a minimum for this design, just a little bit of black pencil to deepen the shadows and a hint of pink for his little cheeks.

Gingerbread Album

I love looking back over old photos from Christmas' past... seeing captured moments of my children when they were young and the happy faces of friends and loved ones who have since passed on. I usually add a few pages to a Christmas journal each year so that I can remember the moments we shared and the funny little things that were said and done. This year I made a mini gingerbread album filled with photos from a decade ago. I apologise for not taking photos of the album before I filled it, I was so focused on the old photos that I forgot!
