Hey everyone! How exciting…it is December!! Christmas is just around the corner. Are you ready? Have you got the decorations up yet? Finished the Christmas shopping? I’m part way through…but it is creeping up quickly so I had better get a wriggle on!!! Today I have created a Christmas layout to get us all in the mood for the festive season. I have used one of the cut files from the 25 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar . It is called Christmas Polaroid. I just love it, such a cute little Christmas cut file and it matches perfectly with these gorgeous photos of my son taken after having his first traditional Christmas lunch. How cute is that dirty little face?? Now lets talk about the 25 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar. This is awesome!! Have you checked it out?? There are 25 different Christmas-themed cut files for you in one bundle. To make it even better, over at the CUT to YOU store this bundle is currently on sale!! There are so many really cute cut files…perfect...

 Hey Everyone, Life for me is so different now being a business owner now. Limited time to be able to craft and when I do it is generally at very weird times of the day. So when COVID-19 brought online classes to the scrapbooking world in a big way I decided that this was my only way to do something that I love. I have had so much fun in September and October with Naomi Alchin, a Guest Teacher with Natalie May Scapbooking . Here is what we have created in our September and October classes... My homework project with some of the leftovers from class So if you are a busy bee like me or even if you are not head here  Natalie May Scrapbooking Guest Teachers  to buy these classes...all online and lifetime access!!  Mel xo

  Hey! I am so excited to be sharing with you today my second September project for CUT to YOU ! If you follow me on socials you may have seen a sneak peak of the beginnings of this project…I had so much fun creating this and just am so happy with the end result! You might remember that just recently my son was lucky enough to spend two weeks in Switzerland as part of the Australian Contingent celebrating the 100 years of the Kandersteg International Scout Centre. They hiked almost every day, up to 40km and up extremely steep inclines BUT the scenery along the way made it all worthwhile. He had the most amazing time and made some great friends. Now I am left to live out his experiences scrapbooking his photos… to be honest, happy to leave the hiking all to him…as long as I have the photos!!! Anyway, I have used the absolutely awesome  Sketchy Circles Open   cut file for this layout and have cut it from plain black card stock. However, did you see that the lovely Gwen has ...
