All day Freestyle at Mia Mia

Yesterday we had an all day Freestyle at the Mia Mia. It was so much fun and we all got a heap done. Good company, good venue and the room was pumping with creativity. Thanks to everyone that came along for making it such a great day.
I made quite a few Fairies over the past few weeks using the gorgeous Fairies and Friends Cricut cartridge. The cartridge has five gorgeous fairies on it to make up and beautiful flowers, sayings and other embellishments on it. I have now decorated Seekara's room with the fairies. Got to say it is a lot cheaper than Wallies and you can make them how you like. For a boy theme there are also Cars cartridges and other Disney characters for children of all ages.On the layout front I have been busy pumping some layouts out for some papers we have coming out soon. Oh what a surprise - its another BASIC Grey layout below. you will love the new June Bug collection from Basic Grey. So so cute! Suitable for so many different layouts and projects too. I love this paper below from Kaiser craft. Very cute. I have also added some Rubons from Maya Road and Kaiser pearl strips.New Minds Eye collections in store now. They are so divine. And not just for girls either. There are some lovely boy papers coming out soon to suit boys of all ages. Stay tuned.... I have also used a Cuttlebug heart, Collections chipboard and butterfly, ribbon and Junebug paper in this layout.A bit of cardboard embellishment - cheap and easy. I love it. The paper is Melissa Frances and flowers were stamps from Lazar Paperwerx. I have painted the background and used ink and a wet brush to watercolour (as such) the flowers. I have also used Kaiser bling and ribbons on the layout below.New from Imaginisce - i love this paper and they have some cute blings to match. Very summery. Ribbon, brads, overlay and paint also used on this layout. A good way to use scraps! I scraplifted the layout below from an awesome layout i saw on Sisters in Style - one of my fave blog sites at the moment. It was actually really fun to do too. Adele (design team and good friend) also did an awesome layout using the same technique but she did her strips going the other way. It looked great. Another fun project of mine lately - I made some banners for the girls birthdays and have now put Cheekah's in her room. I used Collections chipboard banners, the Cricut (Storybook & Accent Essentials), glitter, Bazzil and some odd paper scraps to do this banner. I loved the end result and is perfect for putting in a child's room or a birthday banner for some one's birthday.
Anyway - hope you all have a great week. thanks for looking...
