Pink Paislee pubs!!

Morning guys!
I trust you are having a super week so far??? I know I am *evil laugh* because the weather here today was fabulous. I am happy to say that today I had my first swim of the season, and as a notoriously cold-water-ninny, it is a serious feat for me...seriously! It is times like this that I don't regret for one instant the money we spent on installing heating panels on the garage roof to warm the pool water. Our pool was as warm as a bath (well not quite as warm maybe :o) & heavenly. Oh don't get me wrong...the big day was mine alone because the kids have been swimming for weeks. I, on the other hand am one to avoid torture where ever possible hehe!

Anyway...today I thought I catch up on sharing some pubbed pages from some months back, they happen to be mostly with Pink Paislee products too :o).

This one was in the July SB Trends...how cute is that kid???? I had fun creating my own background paper for this one.

This one was in the Sept/Oct issue of Memory Makers. Many thanks to Michelle for the digi kit I used to create the skull paper & embellishment.

This page was also for Memory Makers....this Pink Paislee paper collection was perfect for Laurens wedding pics. I love how 3D the ribbon & flower looked.

Well that's it for today...I have some super news to share but not today!!!
So watch this space.
Have a goodie!!!

July Memory Makers L.O's

Hellooooo world! How are you all on this fine day?? I feel like I am back in the land of the living again...school went back today...I LOVE routine, it means I get some time to myself again. Time to scrap, blog & catch up on my blogging buddies. I know, I know I have been a shocker at blog hopping lately...sorry guys! I will endevour to try harder to be more regular!

I wanted to share with you, two pages I had published in the last Memory Makers magazine.

My blogging buddies Joscie & Chris also had a couple in there, pop over to their blogs & take a look at their amazing work.
Happy scrappin'!

M.M March L.O!

I still cannot find my March MM mag but seeing as it is a month since the mag came out, I thought it would be OK to post the page here. It was the first time I had experimented with so many photo's on one page & was so happy with the result.

What can I say...Spring in the Cape is quite amazing!
TFL!!!



Hope you have a super Spring filled day!

At last!

I have been itching to show you some of my latest published pages. The mags are in the shops now & I managed to track some of them down to grab a snap.....take a look.

These two are in the April CK....the mag is HOT this month, so if I were you I'd hit your LSS and grab yourself a copy. It is full of fantastic Easter, 'Spring' ideas (for those of you approaching spring) & other great fun pages. Talking about Creating Keepsakes, they now have a blog...if you have two minutes, take a wander over there. There are interesting articles & giveaways; it's loads of fun.
(sorry about the terrible pic's)





And then there is this page from the latest Memory Makers mag...May/June. (I can't find any of my copies of my March/April mag so I cannot show you that page, but when I do, I will post it here.)

This year is the first time I have submitted to this mag & it has certainly paid off, I have a whole bunch of pages going in over the next couple of months.

IMAGE TEMPORARILY REMOVED!

I have to say...each time I see my pages in print, I have to pinch myself. A couple of years ago when I started scrapping, I never thought for a minute I'd be where I am today. I like to think that God has a purpose for me somewhere in amongst this world of paper & scissors, it would make my experiences all the more sweeter.

Thanks for looking everyone!

I'll be back tomorrow with some sneak peaks of Cocoa Daisy's gorgeous April kit.
Chow until then!!

RAK time!!

Hello there everyone!
Firstly thanks for your support & prayers for Max, his fever finally broke on Friday afternoon. I was so relieved because it was sitting at 39 degrees & in all honesty after 3 days I was panicking, expecting to be sitting in casualty by the evening if it didn't lower. So thanks again guys, God is indeed very faithful & answered pronto!

Now to the fun stuff, how about a little magazine RAK???
I have x4 extra copies of mags floating around my scrap table that I haven't given away as yet, they are CK Dec, CK Jan & x2 MM March, anyone keen to win one of these?

All you have to do is leave me a comment, telling me which one you would like & a bit about yourself and I'll choose the winners on Thursday 12th. Sound good?

Great! I look forward to hearing from you.
See ya!
~Kim!

Warm & fuzzy!

Throughout life we meet people who special & impact our lives. Sweet generous people who we get to know over time & share life with. Well over the last year or so I have had the privilege of meeting such people through the phenomenal invention of cyber space & within a short period of time have gotten to know them quite well.
There has been a wonderful collage of ladies from all walks of life, each in some far off place in the world I have never been to, who have felt so inclined to extend their friendship, encouragement & support toward me.

Today I would like to acknowledge them (you all know who you are :o) & say thanks SO much. I have enjoyed sharing your lives through your blogs, chat times with me & emails & I am so glad we can call each other friends.

The other thing I would like to mention is just how generous they have all been. Not only with mails of support & encouragement but with gifts of LOVE that arrive unexpectedly in the mail. I have had an astounding last two days.....where I can honestly say I have felt completely spoilt! I know our Lord doesn't have favorites but boy I really feel like He does today.

Firstly I got a FANTASTC email from CK & one from Memory Makers saying they had selected some more of my L.O's for publication.

So it was a **HAPPY DANCE** day indeed!!!!.....I am so thrilled!!

.....then if it couldn't get any better, I received a large, heavy & interesting package in the post. It was from my honey of a friend, Paula who lives in Montgomery, IL. She floored me in a second when I opened the box....this is what was inside.

...pick your jaws off the floor...I am not kidding. It is an unbelievable mixture of the coolest papers & embellishments I have seen in a while & I cannot wait to get my scissors & glue out & start creating. You girl are ridiculous!! (in a good way).

Then the cherry on the top of a perfect day, was this beautiful card & goodies from my sweet friend Misty...who incidentally is about to pop with her 4th baba & is still so seriously productive creatively, that she puts me to shame.
Last week I admired this pretty cool card on her blog...not realizing she made it for little ole' me :o)

All I can say to you gals is THANK-YOU! THANK-YOU! THANK-YOU! you both made my day & I feel special & spoilt!

(Misty...I have to tell you...while I was typing this post, Max picked up the card you made for me & said : Mama, this card is so beautiful....is it for me??? I told him is was for me & he said: That friendly lady called Misty is very nice to you...will she make one for me too?? heehee!
See your art is even being appreciated by the mini Watson in the house :o)

Well everyone now that I have bent your ears with this post...I'll go& leave some bloggy love on all of yours.
Chat soon.
~Over & out!
