ATC's, Friends and School Holidays:)

Good Morning

Well lately I've been busy creating ATC and enjoying the start of the school holidays with the kids.

Last weekend was the Private swap with the ladies over at Helensvale, was a great day with some fantastic creations been swapped and I also got to spend some quality time with Emma and had a little shop around and much needed chin wagging. LOL

So I wanted to share with you some of my latestest creations.

NO PAPER SWAP - HELENSVALE

This swap was daunting at the start, but once I got my idea into my head in regards to what element I was going to use, I got stuck into it and came up with my melted plastic creation of Reduce,Reuse,Recycle,Recraft ATC. Loads of laminating and combining, but am happy with my result.

BURLESQUE - OCTOBER SWAP

This was a fun and fantastic theme set for October. I decided that I wanted to have different set colours for the swap, so I chose Pink, Orange, purple, blue and turquoise. Lots of cutting out for the ladies, but created the effect I wanted.

REVOLUTION - SNA SEPTEMBER SWAP

September's theme on my site was set for Revolution this month, although I have had many queries in relation to this, the ladies are coming up with some brilliant and different ideas for this one and I cant wait to send out their full sets. I decided to run with World Revolution for my choice. The world is in our hands so they say, so I decided to do just that and use hands in the shape of the world.

Postage Stamp - Born 2 Create NOVEMBER SWAP

Wow! Talk about intuition on this swap. Last week I was cleaning out my scrap area and for month's now I have been collecting my postage stamps, just in case there was a swap using stamps. I was going to chuck them out!!!!! Ekkkkk thanks intuition for making me keep them. For the month of November Born2create are having a postage stamp Swap:):) So I didn't waste any time, I got into action and started to create my ATC's! Ive finished my set and sent them off:)

I got to catch up with Emma during last week and she gave me a lovely little surprise a layout that she had made for a weekend retreat here on the Gold Coast earlier in the year. I was really taken by this and its just such a gorgeous page she has done for me, I think this one will be going on a canvas or frame. Thanks a million Emma:):) I LOVE IT!!!!



Monday was the start to the school holidays here in Queensland, but with that came rain:( Poor kids they are getting a little stir crazy with the weather, but we've had loads of fun watching movies, eating popcorn and doing some arty stuff. Yesterday they decided that they wanted Piklets with banana, strawberries and cream. So off I went and here is the end result. YUMMMM



Anyhow apart from that, been keeping myself pretty busy and am looking forward to the next time I truly get to sit down and make a 12x12 layout. Hope this message finds you all safe and well, until then take care of yourselves and each other:)

CENTRE STAGE ARTIST IN THE SPOTLIGHT FOR SEPTEMBER IS - TRACEY HUNTER

Good Morning:)

Welcome to the month of September! I don't know about you, but I cant seem to recall where August even went?! LOL

Every month I spotlight an Artist from either Australia or Oversea's, this month I would love to share with you a very lovely lady by the name of Tracey Hunter.

Please find below Tracey's photo, biography and a layout for preview.

TRACEY'S BIOGRAPHY:

My name is Tracey Hunter and I have been scrapping for ages now but really only seriously, compulsively feeding my addiction for the last 3 years....lol

I live in Sydney with my husband and our gorgeous kids. Our oldest (22) has 2 gorgeous boys of his own and the 3 other kids (16, 10 & 8) all provide heaps of photos, plenty of laughs and inspiration.

I have been published in Scrapbooking Memories, Scrapbook Creations & Creative Paper.
Recently I have gone back to work so my creative time is scarce at the moment but I can always be inspired by a brilliant sketch or an OTP.

I don't think I have a particular style but I love having plenty of layering on my layouts and
I love using Colour creatively.

Huge thanks to Angie for giving me the opportunity for the spotlight position.

Hugs
Tracey

********************

Thanks Tracey for sharing with us a little about yourself and your creations.

Thanks for dropping by and for your support everyone, I love to showcase these wonderful ladies and I hope it lets you know a little more about the people that touch my life.
