Take the plunge and get your breasts checked!

I booked both my mum and I for our Mammograms last week

Have you just turned 40? Did you know that you are now eligible to have a FREE Mammogram?

I had my first Mammogram at 40 and when I shared it here on my blog I had so many of my beautiful followers reach out to let me know that they had gone in to have their breasts checked. I felt so proud that I was helping to get the word out there about early detection through mammograms.

But the most mind blowing thing that happened was that three of those women tested positive for breast cancer and said that if it wasn’t for my post they would have waited till they were 45 to have had their first mammogram or until they felt something, which may have been to late.

So with each Mammogram I have I will pop it up here to remind you all to get yours boobies checked! I am happy to report that all 3 women fought this insidious disease and won their battle.

Did you know that as women, one of the most important check-ups we should be getting is a mammogram. This is a test that can help detect breast cancer in its early stages, which greatly increases the chances of successful treatment.

It’s important to note that breast cancer can occur at any age, but the risk increases as we get older. This is why it’s recommended that women aged 40 and over have a mammogram every two years. Women with a family history of breast cancer may need to start having mammograms at an earlier age or have them more frequently.

Mammograms are FREE from the age of 40!!!!

There are also a number of lifestyle factors that can affect your risk of developing breast cancer. These include maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol intake, and getting regular exercise. It’s also important to be aware of any changes in your breasts, such as lumps, swelling, or discharge, and to report these to your doctor.

Every woman should do a Breast Self Examination once a month!

If you’re feeling anxious about your first mammogram, it can help to talk to friends or family members who have had the test before. You can also contact Breast Screen Queensland for more information or support. They are an amazing organisation!

So if this blog post has made you think about booking your first mammogram or wondering when your last test was then reach to Breast Screen Australia and book your appointment today! This test is so quick and painless and potentially could save your life!

Having a mammogram is one small step that could make the biggest difference in your health and wellbeing.

Happy Crafting

Colour Challenge Hop with the ATWOW crew!

As we celebrate all the incredible women in our life for International Women’s Day in Australia, it is also that lovely time of the month where I hop with all my gorgeous Around The World On Wednesday friends! I am always so inspired by their creativity and joy of crafting.

This months Blog Hop theme is to create a card with at least three of our team members favourite Stampin’Up! colours. These are the fabulous colours I had to choose from – Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Pool Party, Mint Macaron, Soft Sea Foam, Pale Papaya, Petal Pink, Rich Razzleberry, and Starry Sky.

I really struggled to decide which was my favourite combination of colours but in the end I chose Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana and just at touch of Soft Sea Foam to create this beautiful Lattice style card.

**I love how the Lattice effect makes the flowers pop off the card front!**

As most of you know I love to make 3D projects so this Lattice style card was super fun to create and I just love that it has the perfect sized pocket to add a gift card, cash or a sweet little note.

After I had completed the base of the card I knew I had to team it up with the stunning Happiness Abounds Stamp Set by Stampin’Up! and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out…….as a creator this does not happen often haha.

I love that sneaky little gift card pocket!

**You will LOVE the versatility of the Happiness Abounds Bundle**

I will be completely honest with you, I was very time poor this week due to not being well earlier in the week and had left creating my card to the very last minute so don’t be fooled into thinking that colouring in flowers takes lots of time. I used to be so scared of colouring in floral images ( actually any image) until I started using our Stampin’Blends, boy oh boy they make life easy! My only wish is that I had tried using them much sooner in my crafting journey.

Stampin’Up! Stampin Blends come in packs of two, one light and one dark of the same shade. I like to colour the entire image in with the lighter shade and then go around the outline of each image with the darker shade. It makes any image come to life and with the help of the lattice background the flowers appear to pop off the page.

I received these beautiful flowers from my sister late this afternoon to celebrate International Womens Day and of course they were the perfect inspiration for my card! I teamed up Fresh Freesia, Polished Pink, Melon Mambo,Daffodil Delight and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’Blends plus a dash of Garden Green ink with a watercolour brush to highlight the leaves.

I hope that you have enjoyed my take on this Stampin’Up! Team Colour Challenge, it was so much fun to design and I love being a part of this incredible group! As always I have a list of all the products used to create this project at the end of my Blog for your shopping pleasure. Don’t forget if you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out, I am more then happy to help you out.

Now please HOP on over to my beautiful friend Cheryll Miller and see what she has created for you!

Stampin’Up! Mini Duo – ATWOW Blog Hop!

Its that lovely time of the month where I hop with all my gorgeous Around The World On Wednesday friends! I am always so inspired by their creativity and joy of crafting. This months Blog Hop theme is to CAS(e) something we love in the NEW Mini & Sale-A-Bration catalogues!

Our Family live just a few short minutes from the beach and I tend to find myself there most days strolling along the foreshore searching for unusual shells and watching the turtles hatch. Other then my craft room its one of the my favourite places to be and lets be honest there is no better sound in the world then the lapping of the waves onto the shore ……other then the beep, beep of the horn announcing the arrival of the postie delivering my boxes of Stampin’Up!

So when I first laid eyes on The By The Bay Collection I knew it was the set to share with you today!The stunning suite creates the perfect waterfront panoramas and replicates the peaceful feeling of being at the beach.

I loved how Stampin’Up! created this gorgeous gift tag and decided to CAS(e) it! I wanted to show you that even if you see a tag in any of the catalogues that it can easily be recreated into a card front.

This Suite is so beautiful and I ended up using every part of the collection to create this card. I have layered Night of Navy card stock with the stunning By The Bay Designer Series Paper. The shots of gold reminds me of how the sun catches the waves and the Blamy Blue & White Ribbon is so like the waters edge going from blues to frothy white and there was no way that I would miss out on adding those gorgeous Flat Adhesive Backed Pearls as they add that little touch of luxury.

These stamps and dies in this beautiful suite are created to work together seamlessly to create images and build scenes that evoke the tranquil peace that only comes from being near the water. Stamp then quickly die cut images of sand, seashells, water-loving birds, pearls, and more! Pair the images with one of three sentiments for heartfelt cards and gift tags everyone will love.

The entire By The Bay Suite Collection is ONLY $153.75 which includes the Seaside Bay Stamp, Seaside Bay Dies, By The Bay 6×6″ Designer Series Paper, Balmy Blue & White Ribbon and the Flat Adhesive Backed Pearls! Imagine all of the gorgeous coastal scenes you can create with this set and don’t forget right now its Sale-A-Bration so that means you will qualify for a FREE product from the SAB catalogue.

I always love to create a 3D bag or gift box to match all of my cards. The only issue I had was deciding which of the fabulous Designer Series Paper to choose from when creating it as all the prints coordinated beautifully. This darling little box will be perfect to add some seashell shaped chocolates for a very dear friend.

I love that iridescent glimmer of the By The Bay Designer Series Paper.

Now I should mention that right now its Sale-A-Bration time which means YOU get rewarded for spending in my store!

Thats right for every $90 you spend (before postage and handling) you can choose from the special Sale-A-Bration products!

So If you love this Bundle as much as I do then add it to your cart today, I will have everything listed at the bottom of my blog for your shopping convenience!

Now hop on over to see what my beautiful and talented friend Cheryll Miller has created!

Sweet Citrus Bundle by Stampin’Up!

The moment I saw the Sweet Citrus Bundle in the NEW Stampin’Up! Mini Catalogue I knew I had to have it as it brought back such lovely memories. When my gorgeous boys were little they always came out with sweet citrus puns to make me laugh. For example – Better late then navel, You are my zest friend or my all time favourite – Can you peel the love tonight

It truly brought me so much joy to create with this bundle and to be honest I love how they turned out! My only wish is that you could smell them!! Thats right smell them! I gently rubbed cotton wool with a drop of essential oils over each card to coincide with the fruit! The lime card smells like a luscious Key Lime pie, the lemon card smells so fresh and zesty and the grapefruit has that tart fragrance that we all know too well. I cant wait to send them out!

The Sweet Citrus Bundle is three products in one—a stamp set, a 3D embossing folder, and dies! You can use these items separately for a clean, modern look or use them together to create such dimensional images.

Get texture, depth, detail, and zest out of the Sweet Citrus Hybrid Embossing Folder! The 3D embossing folder features detailed citrus fruit in a modern design style alongside neutral botanical leaves. The included dies are perfect for adding even more dimension to your project.

As you can see I have stamped the lime image with Parakeet party then used a dauber with Granny Apple green to give some variance in colour! I add this technique with each of the cards!

This stamp set is full of zesty image stamps and sweet sentiments to send well wishes to your favourite people! Here are a few more cards to make your day citrusly cool!

Now DON’T FORGET that right now its Sale-A-Bration time which means YOU get rewarded for spending in my store!

Thats right for every $90 you spend (before postage and handling) you can choose from the special Sale-A-Bration products!

So If you love this Bundle as much as I do then add it to your cart today, I will have everything listed at the bottom of my blog for your shopping convenience!

Ps As my boys would say they give the Sweet Citrus Bundle their peel of approval haha

Happy Stamping,

Around The World On Wednesday – Festive Paperscapes!

Anyone who knows me well knows that Christmas is my favourite time of year. Its not so much about the presents its about our family getting together, Christmas music playing in the background, delicious smells wafting out of my kitchen and for me its very faith based.

It wouldn’t be a Stampin’Up! Christmas without creating something beautiful to decorate the table! I really think it adds that special personalised touch!

The gorgeous Cracker and Treat Box Dies & the Candy Cane Dies by Stampin’Up! made creating these three projects super simple! Run the Mini Bon Bon Die through the Stampin’Emboss & Cut Machine, fold on the already scored lines, add some Tear & Tape and a touch of Ribbon and you are done!

I created these napkin holders with the Candy Cane label Die, which can be used for ribbon or in this case a delicious peppermint candy cane! The menu is a great way of showing you that by adding a little bit of bling using the Real Red Glimmer Paper, some Vellum and teaming it up with the Sweetest Christmas 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper you can create something quite visually beautiful for your table without a lot of effort. ( Ps don’t look to closely to the menu as somehow I printed a wedding menu haha)

Creating 3D projects is my most favourite thing to do in paper crafting and I thought why not create a special gift for each guest!

These beautiful boxed ornaments were the perfect touch for my table. I love how they came together and how each one can be personalised with their initials and what year you created it.

Heres a closer look at the ornament –

Now I can’t take credit for this fabulous project! The incredible Samantha Clayton has all the instructions over for you on her page! Isn’t it absolutely gorgeous!

As always I will have a list of all the products used to create this project at the end of my blog for you shopping pleasure.

I hope you enjoyed my take on a Stampin’Up! themed Paperscape now head on over to see what the lovely Aurélie Fabre has created for you!

ATWOW Blog Hop – Sketch 102

Hello and welcome to another fabulous Blog Hop with the Around The World On Wednesday crew! It is so much fun hopping with these amazingly talented ladies and I always feel blessed to be a part of this group!

If you are NEW to my Blog then I would like to welcome your to my happy place and let you know that it’s so lovely to meet you!

This month the ATWOW crew were asked to choose one of three sketches to create a beautiful card for you!

I know it’s only October but its never to early to start creating your Christmas cards! Oh and not to put you in a panic but there is only 73 days till Christmas Day….Eeek!

How stunning is this glorious paper! The only stamping added is the sentiment!

When envisioning what you want your Christmas cards to look like, I think its wise to chose a design that is pleasing to the eye, simple to create and one that you will be happy to replicate in bulk. This gorgeous card ticks all those boxes!

To make a simple layout look fabulous it all comes down to beautiful Designer Series Paper! The Lights Aglow Specialty Designer Series Paper adds a stunning metallic and glimmer sheen to make any project sparkle and those beautiful rich tones of the festive colour palette are sure to bring seasonal cheer to anyone that receives one.

CRAFTING TIP You could adhere your 1 1/4 ” inch strips of DSP directly to the card front and it would still turn out beautifully but I decided to add an additional step to give some extra wow factor.

After adhering your strips of Specialty Designer Series Paper with Stampin’ Seal I then used the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder to create this beautiful all over textured effect.

I chose to create this card with the fabulous Lights Aglow Suite as it makes me think of all the twinkling lights of the Christmas season. Its has everything you need for this and future Christmases.

This suite comes with Two Stamp sets, one packed full of festive sentiments and the other a stunning tree, snowflakes and christmas garland. Two sets of Dies add that polished look to any of your cards and projects and the beautiful Specialty Paper is my all time favourite to create with and I cant forget those darling embellishments.

Buy the entire Suite or pick which pieces you love the most! Don’t forget if you use my monthly Hostess Code when ordering you will go into the draw to win my stamp of the month. This month I have chosen the Full Of Love Stamp Set which you will find on page page 77 in the Annual Catalogue.

QUICK TIP Something that most people forget when creating is to decorate your envelope. Whether you add piece of Designer Series Paper and cut off the excess like I have below or just add a little stamped image you will find it finishes off your christmas card or any card for that matter beautifully!

As always I will have a list of all the products used to create this project at the end of my blog for you shopping pleasure.

Here are some more fabulous projects you could create with this Suite for the Christmas season ahead.

Now please hop on over to my incredibly talented friend Cheryll Miller and see what beautiful project she has created!

Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop – Never Ever Grow Up!

Its always so much fun to be hopping with the amazing Around The World On Wednesday Team, so if you are new here it is ever so lovely to meet you!

This months theme really touched my heart- Never Ever Grow Up! When my husband and I were first married we were told I was unable to have children due to having severe endometriosis and terrible scar tissue. Little did we know that three months later I would be pregnant with our first son and go on to have 4 more pregnancies with 4 sons earth side and twin boys in heaven. I am not saying it was an easy journey to have our family but they really are my little miracles.

Jump forward to today and we are navigating so many new and wonderful things with our boys and lets be honest some that make this little mumma’s heart sad. Our eldest son Sean will be moving into his first home as its just finished being built, our number two son Paddy is changing direction and moving into residential plumbing rather then industrial plumbing, Declan has moved into loans/banking and loving living in the new unit and our baby Ronan is in the last few months of his senior year, working out where he will go to university next year.

I can not quite believe that my little boys are all grown up and my once full home is soon going to be quite empty. I think we always hope that our little ones never grow up or we could slow down time but in reality life moves on and I have to be proud of the strong and wonderful men we raised them to be.

So for me the theme Never Grow Up makes me thing of all the amazing holidays we had at Woodgate Beach. My husband often couldn’t get away so this little mumma would pack up her boys and drive 45 minutes down the road to our slice of Paradise. I learnt how to fish so I could teach my four little boys this skill and I even acquired my boat license which always makes me giggle as I get terrible motion sickness….. but I did it!

This is my favourite place in the whole world!

The endless hours of fun they had a Woodgate, digging for pippies, making sandcastles, surfing the non existent waves and later on in life checking out the pretty girls walking by still makes me smile. I know when my boys have their children they will make more beautiful memories at Woody.

So I decided to create a ocean scape scrapbook page so I can capture the memories and the amazing friendship/ bond that my not so little boys have.

The beautiful Waves of Inspiration Stamp Set and coordinating Waves Dies were perfect for this scrapbook page and oh so easy to create!

To create this page find as many colour blues and teals in our beautiful Designer Series Paper as you can find and tear across the page in a curvy manner. Do not over think it, just tear away until you have lots of strips to create with. I also added the beautiful Layering Designs Vellum in between some layers so it could just peak out. Layer all your strips randomly with Dimensionals and Tombow glue to create the dimension to the ocean scene. I hope you have some fun and rip up your Designer Series Paper, its so therapeutic.

As always I will have a list of all the products used to create this project at the end of my blog for you shopping pleasure. Plus DON’T FORGET you will be rewarded with Saleabration goodies when you place an order over $90 in my online store
