Sweet fairytale ...

Sharing my layout for CSI Case File 267 - loved the colours of the inspiration and the magical whimsey of the little countdown calendar :).

Naughty or Nice ?

Playing along with Scrap the Boys this month where the theme is Naughty or Nice.

The OMG could stand for the 98% nice 2% naughty (although in the case of our tabby cat it may well be the other way around) but also for the fact that they NEVER ever sit side by side peacefully - however the lure of the box the Christmas tree is stored in was just too fascinating to resist!

Christmas theme for your Country

Twist - explain the theme in your blog

I am not sure we in Australia have a particular theme - it is more about what we don't do than anything else. As it is summer here at Christmas time most of the country is hot, hot, hot so we don't relate at all to snowy scenes, snowmen, snowflakes or anything else wintery. Hot chocolate is replaced with cold drinks and pine forests glittering with snow with beach scenes of kids in swimming gear. I guess we also tend to use brighter, happier Christmas colours for our cards and layouts - it is just a shame so many of the Christmas themed products are all geared to the northern hemisphere winter.

I have used bright and happy papers to show my children opening their stockings Christmas morning.

thanks for looking,
