Winter Wonderland

So sorry I have been missing in action for a most of last week, we had some school holiday fun in Queensland. It was a wonderful family time but also some relaxing time. Thank goodness for blogging schedules in advanced, maybe you didn't even notice that I was away. Anyway catching up on some of my creations today. 
Here is my "Merry Christmas" layout designed for 
Meg's Garden.

In Australia when we celebrate Christmas time we are in our summer. Usually our Christmas time is spent going to the beach, having BBQ’s, eating seafood, relaxing with friends and family. But in the northern hemisphere Christmas is celebrated in the middle of their Winter. Lots of snow, cold temperatures but it is a beautiful sight. One day, I would like to experience a wonderful White Christmas. 

I created a page showcasing the new papers Designed by Denise Ann and 

available from Meg’s Garden.

This new paper collection is called “Musical Christmas”

So rich in colour, with accents of blue, gold and white.

The background paper is called “Plum Pudding” and the banner words are from the small strip that comes with the“Noel Noel” paper. Using the German scrap border to decorate the edges and photos, 

they just highlight the colours in these gorgeous papers. I just love that song 

“Winter Wonderland” so I printed the words of that song and included them on my layout.

Halloween Witch - Imaginarium designs

Well, here we are in October, 

where has the time gone,

at the end of this month 

on the 31st most children will be excited about

one event that takes place on the 31st. 

Halloween night

Here in Australia we don't really 

celebrate this event, but

it is slowing catching on with the local children.

My daughter loves to get dressed as a witch

putting on her hat  and black dress

and riding a little broom stick.

Knocking only on the a few local

houses that participate on this occasion

with "trick n treat".

The rule in our suburb and local

residences is -  tie a ribbon on your door or

gate on Halloween night, 
then children are welcome to trick 'n' treat there.

No ribbon - no trick 'n' treating.

My daughter is so looking forward 
to it this year, just 30 more sleeps.

So here is a 
Happy Haunting Card - using the
G45 papers and Imaginarium Designs chipboards.

The chipboard witch is on a collection
of Halloween images from Imaginairum Designs
Halloween board  ISD0020 &
 part of the spade picket fence IDB0004
also

and here is a layout of my daughter dressed as a

Halloween Witchy Boo.

Using G45 paper - Happy Haunting 

The chipboard house, tree, witch on broomstick 
and scary cat, cloud, alphas & twigs sticks

are all chipboards from Imaginarium Designs

So if you are looking for some Halloween

theme chipboards, check them at

Imaginarium Designs. 

They have the cutest Witch and scary cat.

I just painted these chipboards with black and white paint, a quick and easy way to add elements
to your page.

Thanks for looking, 
have a great Halloween Night on the 31st. 
Leave a comment on the Imaginarium Designs BLOG
and you could win a awesome pack of chipboards.
