Thoughts on being a Mum ...

its a huge job being a mother. As a woman it changes us so much ... and we are so busy that often we just don't stop and think about how we have changed, or the journey it has taken us on. How our own mother influenced what we do or don't do with our own children ... and even how each day/week/month/year we are growing and changing as a mum!

We will be using Heidi Swapp trasparency's and embellishments to create this special 6 x 12inch album. This idea is from Rhonna Farrer who is incredibly talented ... i love her work.

I am sorry i was slow getting these posted ... i have been chasing my tail the past week ... phew!

I have all the supplies here, so if you are only seeing this today (monday) its not too late to book in!

Home Album. ....

as i have excitingly shared with most of you, the new House of 3 project is thru and after getting a license i am able to teach it to you!

its such a fun project, the concept behind it is "how we make our house a home" capturing the bits and peices which make our family house a HOME! I have loved putting this together ... there are so many different options and variations.

I will share some more pages in the next couple of weeks (before the next class on March 17th at 9.30am) I will also send thru what you will need to bring!

The cover is this cute door, with tonnes of different types of pages inside.

2009-02-24T19:16:00.000-08:00

more photos ...

as promised here are the photos of the project for the Family Values Class which is next tues.

look forward to seeing you there! have a great week!

Family Values Class

Our next class on March 3rd is our Family Values accordian book - inspired by Jenni Bowlin's project (a couple of years ago) this is a chance as a family document your standards and goals. So once again you have some homework! It does not matter if you have not worked out those things before the class ... you can add them in when you are ready.

You will need two photos .. i used black and white as they go well with the project colours. I used family photos as i had them available, if you do not .... just mix and match.

We have been talking about inspiration and where to find it is the recent classes. I am going to share from now on the cool blogs or websites i come across. To start i will share a few that i regularly check in. My friend Heidi Swapp is always inspiring. Her new venture House of Three has heaps of cool things, there are even freebies in the hybrid section. Her partners Rhonna and Janet are both great to check out too!

I enjoy Ali Edwards blog also. She is getting into some digital stuff too.

A digital website to check out is Designer Digitals they have all sorts of stuff you can purchase ... good for a browse!

This is a good start ... i will add more next time! I will post more photos of the project when the light is better tomorrow.
