Shadow Shot Sunday #56
This picture was taken on our recent visit to New Zealand. We were walking around the Buried Village near Blue Lake when we can across this gorgeous flower growing out of no where on the side of a hill, stunning!

Son, I am Proud of You
One of my favorite pictures from our New Zealand holiday. The title reads "so much like a man", "I just have to say" and the tag reads "Son, I am proud of you".I have used a mask and some glimmer mist on the background card stock, there is a vintage book page, some raffia across the bottom and I have incorporated some vintage doily across the bottom.
Some of my Latest Creations
I was lucky enough to be a part of a vintage swap which was hosted on The Boxx. I managed to find some time yesturday to have a play and made some Christmas Cards.
This card has a stamped and embossed image which was then coloured with water colour pencils and adhered to some red cardstock. The piece of red cardstock behind the Merry Christmas title was put through my Big Shot which gives it that lovely texture.
This card was my favorite. I placed a vintage music sheet on the base and stamped some scrolls on the top corner. The vintage cherub is from the gorgeous pack of vintage goodies I got from my swap partner and I made some torn flowers at the bottom.

ATC Background Swap
Some ATC's I have been working on for a background swap.
Firstly we did the same backgrounds for 9 ATC's. We then sent them in to have a background from each participant sent back which we then had to decorate.
This has been my first ATC swap and was a lot of fun, this art stuff is SO COOL!
I thought I would try something a little different, this bird cage is made out of florist wire and has a mixture of beads threaded on in parts and has some gold rub and buff in places. The german scrap on the edges was white and with a little play with the paints and some really cool colours like interference oxide green (such a cool name), ultramarine violet, cerulean blue all in the Golden Brand and metallic pure gold in the Folk Art brand it turned out great!
One of my favorites, and I just cant get enough of this Stampotique range of grungy and funky stamps. I just love them! I only have 2 in my stash but will be getting more for sure. See the little silver fly in the corner, he was stamped and then embossed, something I learnt in Kelsey's class at Scraptivate, so cool.
Have you seen the new Dark Room Door range of robot stamps and images. I made some cards for a card swap in a boy theme which I promise I will take a pic of and load up, these are so much fun to play with.
Earth Laughs in flowers, when I read this quote I new it would be perfect to use for this ATC.
There are more but I will load them up later, trying to clean my mess of the kitchen bench so we can actually eat there instead tip toeing around my art stash.

The view from our front door.
On Tuesday afternoon while cooking dinner and trying desperately to get the kids to do their homework we suddenly heard some huge noises outside. We all went out to investigate and this is what we were greeted with.
These guys were coming and going to and from in about a minute and half, just incredible. Luckily no-one was hurt, no homes lost and even though this was going on for over 2 hours it could have been a lot worse.

Christening
On Sunday our gorgeous little Princess Livie was christened and I was given the hnonour of being one of her Godparents.
We had a fabulous day and Olivia looked absolutely stunning in her fairy dress.
It was a very special day and we had a chance to catch up with family that only happens but a few times a year.
Here are a few snapshots of our day.
The gorgeous and very special Princess Liv in her beautiful fairy outfit and looking very glam!
My very bestest friend and the new addition to the family little Molly.
The Spunk rat himself, Darc!
The Dancing Queens, partying the afternoon away :D

Walking the Dogs!
I just wanted to share with you my Saturday morning job. I walk the dogs at the local dog shelter and I took my camera today to take some pics. They are all just such beautiful dogs and so enjoy the company and attention :D
They were all just so excited and love their walks on Saturday morning. It was hard to get them settled to take a great pic but I think they are adorable anyways.
