Thanks everyone for your comments on "the hop", I enjoyed reading them all, you really are all very entertaining indeed. But there was one comment in particular who hit the nail on the head exactly and that comment was by Michelle....

Hi beautiful people :):):)  I was fortunate enough earlier this year to be asked to participate in the beautiful Bridgette's Scrap Whisper. The challenge was to use something from around the house on the layout. My item of choice was none other than some trusty 5 cent pieces. I used them to enhance my scallop that I cut from patterned paper. I think it will be interesting in years to come to

A fun time was to be had by all at the recent Craft Expo in Brisbane. I was fortunate to meet a lot of online friends in real life and am pleased to report that none of them "looked better online" LOL. Here are some pics of the occasion, but realised when I got home that I was a little shy when it came to matters of the lense ;) Our Twiddleybitz Booth Twiddley Boss Lady Nic Skender & I Crazy

The story was that I was sitting bedside with Daddy on the day the Masters phone calls were to be made. Not getting very good reception where he lived, I was not surprised to see a missed call on my mobile. I didn't recognise the number, however I knew from the digits that it was coming from an area around where Scrapbooking Memories magazine was based. I didn't want to call the number back,

I had a blast over the Friday/Sat/Sun at the show, getting to meet many of my online friends in real life - wooohooo and the show went off without a hitch and our booth for Twiddleybitz rocked it big time! In fact we had several people tell us our's was the best by faaaaaar, but we already knew that hehe. So here are some of my favourite pics. Our Booth I picked myself a nice catch. Too bad I

I know he would be so amazed at the sheer kindness and thoughtfulness of people and how they rally around their friends in times of need.

Today is the first day I have ever said that I no longer have a Daddy. You have been the bravest man I have ever known to endure what you have with the dignity in which you did. I will never forget what it has meant to me having you as my loving father. I know that I take after you in many ways and I love and adore that I do. You have taught me about the type of person I want to every single day.

Well surprise, surprise, I lay there listening to the sound of my heart beating through my chest as if it would explode. Often I think to myself late at night as I collect my thoughts for the day, wow, I just wrote a novel in my head, but then by morning the thoughts are never quite as succinct? So here I am at 2am gathering my thoughts, the thoughts of a daughter who in part is dying alongside

I was overjoyed to have gotten to Sydney airport with plenty of time to spare for my morning flight to Melbourne after not having slept the night before due to the anticipation of it all (I don't get out much LOL) and skipped thru the departures lounge with much anticipation of my exciting day ahead. On arrival at Melbourne airport I was wisked away by car and taken straight to the show (thank's

This is what my studio looks like after the aftermath of completing my Masters projects this past 10 days. Had everything layed out ready to go the day after the criteria came out and then left it to the final days to actually get off my bum and do something about it. Amazing what a deadline can do :) Taken last night so not the best pics, but you get the idea LOL. Oh bugger, I need my Heidi

I submitted this layout well over a year ago, so it was a very nice surprise to see it appear in this months edition of Scrapbooking Memories magazine.

Here's my Week 7 entry using the following criteria; * create your own patterned background * make and use at least 3 inchies on your project * use a quote as part of your title * do not use alpha stickers on your project * create a handmade embellishment from fabric And a quick Twiddley share using some of the new Chrissy range :):):) That's all for now folks, I will be getting around

Here's a bunch of layouts, hope you enjoy some of them. I've tried to focus on the use of more patterned paper and less embellishments and do like it as the layouts seem to come together quite quickly, which is what I am after a lot of the time as life is just so busy and has a habit of getting in the way. My latest DT work for Bumble Bee Crafts using Fancy Pants "Wishful Thinking" range. I

Who loves free stuff? Who loves winning scrap stuff? Who loves blog candy? I went thru a period there last year where almost everything I entered, I won and literally scored $100's of free stuff just for leaving love for people. Well I haven't won anything in a while and so figured that maybe if I "put out" I will "get back" so to speak hehehe and I mean that in the nicest possible way LOL.

For a 3.5 year old, she has an amazing comprehension of the world around her. She pays special attention to her Poppy, as although she may not entirely understand the consequences of terminal cancer, she understands that their is something up with Poppy and always shows him the utmost concern and attention. Every night they ring each other and I wish I could bottle these conversations as they are

My good friend Tiff Firth, once referred to me as a "SCRAPPING STEAMROLLER" and that is exactly the way I feel at the moment. From the moment I wake up in the morning to the time my head hits the pillow at night, I am planning my next class or project. I am literally answering the phone and tending to the kids whilst carrying paper in my hands and distressing or shaping as I go. I could be

I was playing Dora's kitchen with Alana today and after we had made the strawberry pancakes and the butter chicken, my mind started straying to the unfinished layout on my scrap desk. I turned and said to Alana "ok, Mummy has to go and finish her layout now" and instead of the usual whinging and whining about not wanting me to go or rather chucking a tantie by throwing herself on the floor, she

I was given some yummy Websters Pages and so decided to put them to good use by doing my first challenge over at Inspire Me, which was to alter a tin or box and fill it with goodies for a friend. I remembered just in time to get a pic of what it looked like underneath. I have filled my box with 5 little containers each labelled using Websters Pages badges with vintage book paper underneath.

Here's the awesome sketch for this month's Prima BAP. And here is my layout for the challenge. The patterened papers, tissue paper, paper flowers, silk flowers, crystals, pearls, wings and chippie alphas are all from Prima. I have also used corrugated cardboard Crafty Notions colour spray, journaling tag and leaves. And I thought I had died and gone to heaven when I saw these brand new

I have decided to do the sketch this month over at My Minds Eye - "Blast From The Past" where we could use any paper range old or new and base the sketch around a photo of something from the past. Here's the sketch; In true fashion I have converted the sketch to a double layout LOL. I decided to use a photo of me and my mum from 1978 in addition to 3 photos of Alana and I from late last year in

In my last post, I was trying to be strong and positive and carry on with things as much as possible, but the truth is a part of me is dying inside, feeling helpless for Daddy and I'm so frightened of what's to come. I'm sitting here balling my eyes out. All it takes is one song off the radio or a glimpse of a photo to set me off. And then when I heard my mum crying on the phone, well that was

I've been overwhelmed with beautiful heartfelt messages for Daddy and I. I am so grateful to each and every one of you who took the time to leave a message for us. Believe it or not, each one warmed my heart, taking away the sadness even if only momentarily, so thankyou once again from the bottom of my heart, you are all such good and thoughful girls. Here is a tribute to Daddy I did for last

Have you ever held someone's hand while they were being told that they are dying? This is me earlier tonight holding my Daddy's hand so tight, wishing I could take away the pain, wishing I never had to let go. Thismorning, after 6 months of intensive chemotherapy and testing, Daddy was scheduled for 7am for major surgery to have 2 ribs broken and his lung punctured in order to get to the cancer

Good day girls :D Hope you enjoy my tutorial. I bought a heap of decorations this year at Bed Bath & Table and they overdid it a tad with the tissue paper, about 5 sheets per decoration and I bought about 50 decorations!!! It was so thick and beautiful, I didn't want to just throw it all out, nor fill up my recycling bin either LOL, so being the avid scrapbooker that I am, went to work developing

Holy cow!!!!!!!!! Surely this cannot be my age already??????? I seriously woke up this morning thinking I was 35 today, no fibs, promise, I swear on the bible, truly. It was my good friend Ang who politely brought it to my attention that "ummmm, no Tiff, I think you are 36 today" that made me feel like I had been hit by a Mac truck, been robbed of a whole year of my life...... and yes a year

It's been so bad around here, illness has swept over our house for approx one month now (croup, flu and vomiting viruses - eeeek!!!!) and so I'm looking very much forward to getting back to normal. Anyways, without going on any more about that, I'll get onto sharing what I've been doing while being couped up inside. Here are my latest projects for my DT work for Rusty Pickle. And

Well here we are a little over 2 weeks since my last post and it literally feels like 2 days. Man time goes quick as you get older, it really is quite ludicrous. I've missed you guys and please know I will be leaving love for you all very, very shortly if I haven't already :o) Thankyou to everyone who enquired how I am, your comments are sooooo appreciated.

Was in the mood for a quick post so thought I would show my latest entry for Round 6 of Embellished Idol. We had to use at least 4 photos, staples, rub-ons or stickers, tags, circles, flowers and hand-stitching. Here's my take. Dear God help me if I make it thru to Round 7 as we have to design wearable art, holy cow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Till next time sweet bloggers, Tiff :o) PS Don't forget

But here I finally am with my latest projects I've been working on. This is my week 5 entry for Embellished Idol where we had to create a layout based on either 5 places

Hi all, well I went to my first ever retreat yesterday hosted by the lovely Sandra from Scrapbooking Delights. And I had the best time (even if it was for just one day) and was such a great experience that next time, I will be going for the whole 3 days LOL!!! The girls are all sooooo lovely and I felt like I had known them all for ages. In fact I chatted so much that I only managed to fully

Hi sweet bloggers, here is my Round 4 layout for Embellished. We had to create a layout featuring painting, distressing, stitching, layering, chipboard and punches - PHEEEEW!!! Managed to get through all that criteria and here's what I came up with. Also, the gorgeous and talented Kellie gave me this delightful award a while back and have been slack and not posted it (sorry sweet pea) and so

Goodevening sweet bloggers, hope you have had a fun filled or at least enjoyable weekend? My baby girl turned 3 yesterday. The whole memory of her birth is very pleasant, even though she was 10 pounds, she was only a one hour labour with no drugs and within an hour of having her, I was sitting up in my hospital bed, fully showered with make-up and hair done wondering where all my visitors were

I've gotta be the DUMBEST BLONDE on the planet!!! I spent 3 months slaving over my Masters projects and have only just realised as I look at the pics (that I took at 11pm last night so I could remember what they looked like if they got lost in transit) that I have a typo in the title of my mystery project (GASP!!!!!!!!!). What the? How could I have done that???? I know how to spell the word

Here's one of my layouts that was accepted by For Keeps Creative Paper well over 6 months ago. It's been so long I forgot all about it until I saw the picture on my computer which triggered my memory. To cut a long story short, I emailed Casey to see what was going on and why I had not heard anything. I figured it was because I had got a new email address and forgot to forward the new details,

Hi gorgeous blogging friends. Well I'm glad to announce that the race is finally over!!!!! I'm excited and sad at the same time!!!! The final stop took us to Scrapping Outback (at last an Aussie site - woohoo!!!) where we had to design a party from the choice of three different ranges. I chose Candy Land because I just adore it and have used it before. We had to do a centrepiece, favours, invites

For this assignment of the Rusty Pickle Amazing Race, we had to use the heart and wings chipboard album plus the fun, fun, fun Pirate Princess range of papers and embellishments. There were so many wonderful die cut sayings in this range and all so darn cute!!! I had an absolute ball, even though we had only 72 hours to complete the album (GASP).

Hi all, here is my leg 4 project for the Rusty Pickle Amazing Race. We had to use the layered chipboard album with the Chocolate Covered Cherries range of papers and embellishments. I think it's my fav to date and although I'm getting only 5 hours sleep per night and I wasted 2 hours today waiting for NRMA to come change a battery when I needed to be home finishing my album - arrrgh!!!!

What a whirlwind of a week so far. If anyone had of told me a couple weeks ago that I would be competing in the Rusty Pickle Amazing Race with my husband working 7 days a week and no help looking after the kids, I would have said, no way, not possible, but guess what? That's right, that's exactly what's happened! Life sure can be ironic can't it? Here we are in the middle of winter and the demand

After thinking I wasn't going to have time to complete my first Bootcamp over at Blue Bazaar (25 layouts for May), the finish line is now in sight for me, only another 5 layouts to go by midnight Sunday, which I'm hoping, fingers crossed, that I will be able to

So now I'm supposed to pass this on to one of my scrappy friends and so I choose to pass it on in all it's cuteness to Christine - this one's for you.

As promised, here are my layouts for this months DT work for Mystical using the delicious range of Cosmo Cricket Mr Campy papers for the double and equally as delicious Sassafrass Lass papers for the single. I have loved also using the RW Laser Cuts (owl) and the Twiddley bitz borders, they are TO DIE FOR!!! I was also very excited to discover that I had won some of Leeann Pearce's chipboard

Gosh I had fun playing with my first kit from this months Enchanted. It's called Little Miss Creature Feature and the pack is jammed full of fun. It will suit a lot of different styles and photos, the push out die cuts are so extremely cute and very versatile. The kit is only $12 (YES, ONLY $12). You simply must take a look before they sell out, it has been my fav to date. And if you are free
