Right now mini album project

I made this album after seeing one someone on the internet...

Basically it's a mini album detailing what is happening in my life right now...



Materials: Kaisercraft Victorian tag album, Pina Colada, loire valley, pennyroyale, sublime, and offshore Kaisercraft papers. Kaisercraft pina colada alpha stickers, die cuts. American craft's thickers, Sam&Lucy mini alpha stickers, Kaisercraft clear stamps, black versa ink, black staz on ink.



Each page was dedicated to a part of my life: Run, Family, Car, Life, Love, Friends, Work... On each I had a simple black and white photo, title and journal box (Kaisercraft Memory boxes clear stamp) to write about.





An easy peasy project that only took me a day to make!

Five things on a Friday


I'm back with my 5 things on a Friday blog posts!

1. Vintage books!

I love these pretties! I recently saw a post on Kerryn's blog about Trixie Belden books and got me thinking about my favourite books as a child/teenager. Here they are in no special order:

- Golden Books: a childhood staple.
- Shirley Barber fairy books: beautiful drawings,wonderful, enchanting tales of fairies, gnomes and woodland creatures.
- Trixie Belden books: Mum has a small set of these, and I loved reading them!
- Disney books (and videos): fun, timeless tales.
- Wicca: a 14 or so series based on Wicca - a teen book.
- Harry Potter: I started these in high school and still haven't finished them. I need to get back into reading these - and start back to the start.

2. Changes:
My blog has had a nice facelift, and I've made fun categories - Fasion, Five things on a Friday, Notes... (for pieces of my own writing/poems and written words I like), Thoughts (for reflection), Crafting (for scrapbooking and crafty projects), Photography (for sharing photos I love and photos I've taken), Health&Fitness (for all things running, gym & healthy eating) and a Random category (for all that other 'stuff'!
In other news, things are changing at work (good and bad), I'm being challenged which is good! I'm trying to find more time to scrap, I'm trying to hit the gym more and having fun!

3. Music
What's on my hit list at the moment?
Owl City

Taylor Swift
Loving her song, "Marys Song (Oh my my my)"

Florence & the Machine

4. Loving scrapbooking challenges.
Especially Effer Dares.
Challenges get you to scrap outside your comfort zone.

5. Running!
I love it.... I've slowly worked up to be able to run 5.4km in about 32minutes.
On the 28th February I'm running my first fun run - the Barwon Banks fun run!
I chose the 5km one and hope to do a really good time.
My aim this year is to run a 10km run!
Wish me luck!
