Tourists in our town
For several years Mike and I have been taking time to be tourists in our own town. Last year for our anniversary, we booked into a hotel in Fremantle for a couple of nights. Freo is only a 30 minute drive from home but it is a beautiful port city worth spending more than a few hours in. These pages showcase our anniversary breakfast in the park across the road from our hotel and our dinner in a delightful tapas bar.

Embossed accents
I have a new toy! My little green Cuttlebug is proving to be so much fun to hang out with. It works with the CTMH embossing folders to add a textured pattern to flat papers. There are 5 folders to choose from. Take a look at them here. The folders will work with other brands of embossing machine, I just like this one because it is so compact and easy to use (and I got a great deal on it because I'm a consultant).

Basketball Artbooking Page
Our household is very excited that the Perth Wildcats won the NBL grand final over the weekend. Kathryn and her boyfriend are members and Mike and I get excited because they are! This page features photos from a game earlier in the season.
It was so much fun to create this page. I simply began with the layout shown on p82 of the Cricut Artbooking instruction book and decided on the colours for each element. I love the way the Artbooking cartridge cuts every element in proportion to all the ot…

My NEW sporting passion
I've never been into sports... all that puffing and 'glowing' just puts me off. Imagine my family's surprise when I told them I was taking up Cricut! They were very encouraging and marvelled at this new interest until I explained, "That's Cricut as in Creative Cutting and not Cricket as in, let's stand in the sun for 6 hours."
I am the first to admit this new 'interest' is fast becoming an 'addiction'.

Try your hand at spraying ink
I took a group of consultants away for a weekend at the end of March. This was a mixture of fun and product training. We tried new techniques and learnt lots from each other about using a range of Close To My Heart products. One product I really enjoyed playing with was the Spray Pens, a pack of 3 is just $5.50.
You simply mix a few drops of re-inker with water in the tube of the pen, screw on the lid and spray some paper. You can vary how fine the mist is by changing the distance away from t…

Free To Be Me
I had a lot of fun making this page using the April/May Exclusive paper pack called Free To Be Me. It was inspired by a layout I saw on Pinterest but that one was very girlie. The strips were all cut 8 inches long. Widths varied from 1/2 inch to 2 inches. Just have fun playing with the arrangement of colours and offset each strip a little. The top and bottom strips were centred across the page.
