These lovely Whimsy flowers from the new Winter collection make a stunning vine. You can easily divide them to make smaller flowers and buds.</div>

Well I've mentioned before how I'm always fiddling around with my los even after they're finished. Here's the final one. I started with a b/w pic but I think I deleted the colour too much and then just abandoned the whole b/w idea and put the colour back in.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">My two have always been the best of friends. Maybe it's a little of the twin thing, maybe it's just that they only have each other, or maybe it's just that Jera is a very tolerant brother. lol Sure they have their moments but they would do anything for each other. Journalling: On the back I have a pocket telling some of the stories of their friendship through the years.</span></div>

A funny story about the frame. It looks great with the pic but I had to manipulate the photo a little to fit. If I enlarged to fit the frame width then my dh and dd where to big. So I had to resort to cutting the pic into pieces and pasting it to the back of the frame. If you look in the left top corner with our dog, the snow is a little out of alignment but overall it was a pretty good match up. Don't you think? The things we scrappers have to do.</div>

It's really a reflective layout. Hence the not so flattering, thoughtful pic. And no I am waaaay past 26. That's my date, May 26, lol. My birthday was just last week! I'm not even sure I remember 26. Ha! I still have to get back to all those of you who sent me the loveliest messages on F/B and e-mail. Just so kind.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So what's this lo all about. Aren't birthdays about celebrating? Here's what my journalling says...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em>"I don't know when it all began, this feeling that a date and day define you. But at some point I stopped recording the year I was born. Maybe it was just that time finally caught up with my body and I started to look my age. Maybe it's just that other people always seem to need to put you in a category when they know your age. MAYBE I just like the elusive idea of it all. This year just a week ago, I turned 107 according to my facebook page. Birthdays are always special to me, all 107 of them!"</em></div>

First up is my new design team. Flourish with a Bling have their first official design team. I've been lucky enough to have been working with their products for a while now, and am so pleased to be a part of their 2012 team. Flourish with a Bling was started by three lovely ladies from Aus who are friends, Maggie, Kate and Lucy. <br />
Check out their products here. http://www.flourishwithabling.com.au/store/</div>

Here's another project I've been working on for quite some time. It's a framed piece using the technique of paper tole. I used to do heaps of paper toling way back before my serious scrapbooking days.<br />
This was a gift for Mother's Day for my M-I-L, who just adores hummingbirds.</div>
<div align="center">
It was also for Manor House Creations, using their beautiful flowers to embellish the project and for the week three challenge over at <a href="http://flyingunicornforums.com/">http://flyingunicornforums.com/</a> who combined with Manor House in celebrating May, the month of flowers.</div>

This little fella took soooo much work. Using a small pair of scissors, you spend hours "feathering" the body to give it a more realistic look. <br />

Some lovely Imaginarium designs chipboard. I love the way they have fabulous chipboard titles. Added a few clouds to give some texture, used molding paste.<br />
I'm all clouded out atm. I've just painted Sienna's b/d room with a cloud mural to go with her loft bed. She wanted it to feel as though she was floating among the clouds.<br />

Love this pic of my gang. I took it on an afternoon walk along the beautiful bluffs near when we live. It overlooks a magnificient lake. The colour reflected on the surrounding hills is from the lake and the slightly misty, lighly rainy afternoon. So beautiful.</div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Mother's Day is such a special day to celebrate. This weekend in Aus we celebrate the unique bond we have with all women, whether you're a mother, a grandmother, a soon to be mum/mom or someone who has a loving female energy in your life. It's a time to remember and be grateful for all mothers, including Mother Earth too.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I don't often share personal details on my blog but I decided to tell a little of my story through some photos and my journey into motherhood. I've added some of my favourite Brian Andreas quotes (in italics) too. Many of pics were taken way back when, in the pre-historic days of analogue film cameras, please excuse the quality. Grab a coffee or tea, it's a long post.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It all began way back in the dim dark ages.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I'm the chubby, curly haired one. My sister Anne is 15 months older.</span></div>

Those early days were such a blurr. It was so hard at first. He had terrible colic. He cried after every feed and it woke him from his sleep. Dh spent hours with him sitting perched over his shoulder. It was the only way our little boy was pain free. She was very demanding, it had to be mum and only mum. If anyone else picked her up she screamed. She was never more than arms length away.</div>

Mother's Day has such a special meaning for me. It took me many years to be a mum and I remind myself how lucky I am every day to have my two precious ones. I'm not one for being in front of the camera so I don't have many pics of us. These are ones I treasure. The three of us were just sitting chatting one afternoon in the backyard when dh came out with the camera. I really must take more.</div>

I took a bit of a different perspective. I thought about lots of ways to scrap "my" home. I thought about scrapping old pics of all the houses I've lived in, my childhood home, or the first house I bought. The house I live in now has never really felt like home. It's the house we live in for this time in our lives. IYKWIM. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the end, I decided home, to me, is more about the people who surround you than the house you live in. I took this pic of my dh and our kids playing around and it was the perfect symbol of my home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My journalling says it all.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Tell us about someone you are missing right now and why. Your journalling can be as long or as little as you like, but we want to hear all about someone you are missing!</span></b></div>

<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Ideas for journalling: </b>missing time alone with your partner, missing your old self, missing your children because they are off to school, university or living away from you, missing your children being young, missing a friend you have not seen in a while, someone in another country, someone that has passed away, a mentor whose advice you could use, a relative you wish you lived closer to, someone you regret having an argument with, missing a pet.</span></i></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">Remember that you are allowed to also create a card or altered project based on this sketch and theme and instead of the journalling criteria you need to use a quote. </span></span></i><br />

I've been meaning to scrap it for ages. The pic was taken when Jera was a couple of month's old. He spent the first five weeks in hospital as he was so small at birth. <br />
Just 1.5 kg (3lb 5oz for the US girls). Hmm dad had a lot more hair then too.lol Actually it was in a ponytail down the back.<br />

The lo is one for this month's DT work for Manorhouse Creations. The brief was for a lo with a white background. I added a little TA spray and brushed on some gesso for a misty effect.<br />
PP is all prima. <br />
Flourish with a Bling black jewels and some old DA chipboard I had in my stash.<br />

I made all the wings. Love the effect they create.The bodice is made from foam piping and the kit transparency. I punched holes for the lace and threading some twine. The string of beads was a perfect compliment<br />

It's challenge time again over at Once Upon a Sketch <a href="http://onceuponasketchblog.blogspot.com/2012/03/march-1st-challenge-meet-our-guest.html">http://onceuponasketchblog.blogspot.com/2012/03/march-1st-challenge-meet-our-guest.html</a> </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This challenge was one I thought about for a long time. I know there's probably lots of things I could have said I do well. We all do. But there's one thing that stood out to me. I 'm good a seeing the funny side of things and my take really was all about that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mary Poppins said it so well. "Practically perfect in every way." No self esteem issues there. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now if only I had a spoon full of magic! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Come and join in our challenge. It's fun and there's great prizes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy scrapping,</div>

<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Journalling Criteria/Theme:</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The focus of your journalling and the theme of your layout has to be based on YOU and something/s that you are really good at. Don't be shy! We are all good at something as small or as big as it might be.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Ideas for journalling</b>: <i>being a good mum, cooking, talking, understanding people, organising, cleaning, gardening, studying, computers, fashion, exercising, scrapbooking, good at my job, maths, languages, writing , drawing, painting, photography, running, craft, sewing. Maybe you can talk about an aspect of your personality..your sensitivity, your 6th sense, your patience, your strength or bravery, your ability to stay positive. </i></span></div>

<i style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Remember that you are allowed to also create a card or altered project based on this sketch and theme and instead of the journalling criteria you need to use a quote<span style="font-size: small;">.</span></span></span></i></div>

Here's my layout and the steps I used to create it.<br />
<span style="color: olive;">I love mixing it up with different techniques using mixed media to alter the flowers and background to create a splash of colour. I had the idea that I wanted to show a mix of techniques with a variety flowers. So I’ve embossed, stamped, inked, glittered, used perfect pearls, Liquid pearls, gesso and made 3d ones. All are altered. Created the background using, a mask, mists, gesso and splatters of paint. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: red;"><em>Over at Once Upon A...Sketch, we are nearing the end of our first year and during this time we have noticed a huge amount of support from many countries around the world and we are incredibly lucky that our challenges are supported by so many people from all different parts of the globe. One of these countries is Greece, and we have come to realise that we receive many entries from such a small country where scrapbooking is so new, so we had a think and decided to team up with another challenge blog based in Greece and run by our very own </em><a href="http://thelimitationsofthought.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #38761d;"><em>Irini Liolia</em></span></a><em> called </em><a href="http://craftycroppersgr.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #38761d;"><em>Get Creative</em></span></a><em>. How exciting!! We have decided to become "sister" blogs, because let's face it...most of us scrapping are women and is there anything stronger than a sisterhood? So for this month only, the Design Team from Once Upon A..Sketch are guests over at Get Creative and taking part in their 1st and 15th of the month challenges and the Design Team from Get Creative are guests on Once Upon A..Sketch! Thus a new bond is formed between 2 challenge blogs.</em></span><br />

<span style="color: red;"><em>Here is the sketch that the Once Upon A..Sketch Design Team had to follow.
