Heavenly Anomalies

A Freebie 4 you!!

2008-12-11T09:22:00.008+13:00

Hiya All, it's me again!! I'm supposed to be doing making the Christmas photos for my cousins daycare, she dropped the photos off this morning and I have to have them all prettied up and looking Christmas-like by this afternoon. Of course, being who I am, I just had to find something else to do before I got started. I'll pop back in tommorrow and show everyone some of the 19 photos I have to work on.
Like everyone at Christmas time, it's been a very busy time and out of the blue the girls Dad rang up and decided he wanted to take Cheyenne over to Australia to spend some time with him (at the moment he won't take Maia because he doesn't like changing diapers) so there was a big rush to get her organised to send over. It was her first trip by herself to Australia and I was so nervous about giving her over to the airline staff. The moment the plane took off I rang her father and told him to get to the airport now and wait to make sure he got there on time. Now, it's 12 days till she gets back, she's only been gone for 3 days and I miss her so much, it feels like its already been long enough and she should just get home now. I suppose at least this year I don't have to worry about hiding her Christmas presents, they're all just sitting in the lounge waiting to be wrapped.
I love the Christmas season, it's so much fun. Yesterday my little 2 year old decorated our Christmas tree. The tree looks very busy and very unbalanced but she did it and it was her first time so that is how our tree will look this year. I think it looks absolutely adorable and I proudly show off her work to everyone who visits. I took photos of her decorating and of the finished product so when I get the photos onto my drive I will show her handy work off to everbody on the internet as well.
Now I should get going with what I came on here to do. I have a freebie Alpha that goes with my new kit "Butterfly Dreams". Here is a preview of "Butterfly Dreams", I love this kit, it's so pretty (but then I might be a bit biased)...

And here are a few pages that I created using "Butterfly Dreams"...

And now for the all important FREEBIE!! Here is the preview...

Here is the download link --->Butterfly Dreams Alpha<---

Thanx for visiting and I hope you like the alpha. I better go off and do these Christmas photos now. Don't forget to stop by my store and have a look around, you might find something you like, and snag my blinkie, if you love it.

Till next time, Be Well
Cheers Erica

New Kit and a Freebie!!

2008-10-25T21:42:00.008+13:00

WOW!! What a day I've had, it was time to get the girls their summer wardrobe and this time I promised they could pick their own clothes. Well, that was a mistake I won't soon make again. Chasing two girls running rampant all over the store was very tiring but they got the clothes they wanted and all was happy in the world. Now they are finally fast asleep snuggled up in their new pj's and looking ever so sweet and cute.

Now onto the new kit I have at Kjoi Studios, of course this one is a very girly kit. My little ones decided to help me by telling me what should be in it, so being the ever obliging mummy I listened added a bit more and that is how "Precious" was created. In it you will find 38 elements including - flowers, word art, safty pins, footprints, stickers, ribbons, and much more. There are also 15 papers. Here's the preview for you all to have a look at...

Here's the link to go to my store and check it out ---> Precious <---
Next we have a layout I created using it, it's of my youngest cutie, I love this photo of her. She was picking me daisies when I took it...

Now we move onto everyone's favorite bit of any blog (I know it's one of my favorite bits, lol), THE FREEBIE!! I have put together a little sampler of Precious and here it is just for you...

Here's the download link for you ---> Precious Sampler <---

I hope you enjoy this little taste of Precious.

Till next time, Be Well
Cheers Erica

Freedom to Express Yourself!

2008-07-07T20:27:00.002+13:00

Hiya All, I have another layout for you this time using the awesome kit Brown Town Inspirations, it's available at all three of Designs by Sassy's Stores @ Designs by Sassy, Digital Candy, and Purple Paper Flowers. My niece, Layla, is the focus of this layout. I took this photo Christmas of 2004 and it shows her big personality and how she is not afraid to be herself. I loved this picture of her and thought that Brown Town Inspirations was just the perfect kit for it. Here it is...

30 and Loving It!!

2008-07-06T22:52:00.003+13:00

Here we go with more photos from my cousin's 30th. She had such a great time and I think the looks on her face in these photos just say it all. For this layout I used MCA Designs latest kit B-Day (girl) it is available at her Store @ My Scrap Shop. I love the colours in this kit and they were just perfect to show off these photos. So here is the layout...

30 and Loving It

Isn't it a great kit, don't forget to go check it out. You won't regret it.

Till next time, Be Well
Cheers Erica

I Love Trucks!!!

2008-07-05T22:32:00.003+13:00

Well, I'm about to show you all a layout I did using The DigiTwins "Declaration Of Independence" from their brand new "Independence Day Grab Bag", it is available at their store at Digital Candy.

This was one of the hardest pages for me to figure out. Being from New Zealand it was really hard for me to show anything that might class as 4th of July worthy. Well, as luck would have it our truck drivers decided to have a protest on the 4th, and a line of about 50 of them went past my house driving at around 20 kilometers an hour. Which entertained my girls no end, they were convinced that this was a parade so I thought there is my 4th of July layout, we had a parade. Here it is...

Truckers Protest

I'll be back soon with more layouts and maybe some freebies.

Till next time, Be Well
Cheers Erica.

Oh No!!! It's Crazy Frog!!!

2008-07-05T00:44:00.002+13:00

I did this layout for the Digital Candy Element Challenge, when I read that you had to use humour I could only think of these photos. Nothing is funnier than the antics of drunk people, the thing we do when we drink. Steel City Scraps kit "On The Go" was just too perfect for it. You can check it out along with many other brilliant kits at her store @ Divine Digital.

Till next time, Be Well
Cheers Erica

Maia and her butterflies.

2008-07-03T23:33:00.003+13:00

I just finished a layout and I thought I would share it with everyone. My youngest daughter has a major thing for butterflies. She loves them pictures of them, stuffed animals, even butterfly clips with butterflies on them. She will put the clips all through her hair, making sure there are clips withflowers on them too so that the butterflies have flowers to land on. Then she runs around the house yelling "My Faflies" over and over again. It's so cute. This layout captures her as she is placing her last clip in her hair, the noise is about to begin...lol.

For this layout I used a lot of items by TrishH Designs, she makes so many awesome products. For this one the main kit is Kim's Bright Summer, a gorgeous kit. I also used her Acrylic Glitter Alpha, Basic Borders and Glitz Alpha from her Grab Bag.

Here is Faflies...

Thanks for visiting and do come back again soon.

Till next time, Be Well
Cheers Erica.

You can purchase "3 Ways to Use Overlays" at the sale price of just $10 during her birthday week only. On July 1st, it will go to its regular price of $14.95. This kit contains an overload of 100 Commercial Use Overlays along with a Tutorial, "3 Ways to Use Overlays" created with designers of all skill levels in mind.

It's ME!!!

2008-05-27T23:19:00.004+13:00

Two days in a row, I am getting good. I love the costumes that got worn to my cousin, Sharlene's 30th, so I just had to show you another one. This one is a sexy Hermione Granger. For this layout I used MCA Designs' "A Fish Tale" (the link to her store is off to the side in the proudly creating for section). This kit is awesome and you'll see from the two layouts I have done that it is very versatile. Here's the first one...

The next one is my Uncle Roger in one of his deep sea fishing competitions.

Thanx for visiting and I do hope to see you again.

Till next time, Be Well
Cheers Erica

Hiya All...

2008-05-26T23:21:00.009+13:00

I'm back on board and have a few layouts to show you all and a little freebie. One of the layouts is from my cousins 30th birthday. She hired a party bus and had a school themed fancy dress party. It was an awesome night and the bars that we all visited didn't know what hit them. Although I do think that most of the people thought we were slightly insane, dressed up as school kids in one way or another. Well, the birthday girl decided to go as a Playboy Naughty School girl, and here is what she looked like...

For this layout I used Heather Manning's "Dirt Don't Hurt - It's A Pink Thang". It's available at the GetDigiWithIt Store (the link is in the proudly creating for section). You'll see a lot of the photos from this party popping up on here. There were some really classic photos taken and I can't wait to get them all scrapped.

This next layout is a little different, my next door neighbours threw a party a few weeks ago and when I woke up the next morning they had left a strange little sentry on their roof. It looked so cute and funny that I just had to take a photo of it. So here it is...

This page was created using The DigiTwins', "Sweet Lullabye" and their awesome new "Thought Bubbles". Both items are available in their store at DigitalCandy (the link is in the proudly creating for section).

Here is one of my oldest daughter just chillin' out and watching some tv. I just loved how peaceful she looked. It's very different for her, she doesn't like sitting still or being quiet. This moment was well worth preserving...

I thought that TrishH Designs' latest kit "Mystical" was just too perfect for this photo. It's avaliable at her DigitalCandy Store (the link is in the proudly creating for section).

This next one is of my youngest daughter doing her favorite thing, talking on the phone. Give her a play phone and she won't stop ringing and talking to people. Hand her the real phone and she refuses to say a word and won't even hold it, go figure.

This layout was done using Scrap Kitten's latest kit "Butterscotch Swirl". It's an awesome kit and is available at her store (the link is in the happily creating for section).

I found it so awesome the other day when my little one picked up her first book and started to read it (well look at the pictures and make up her own story). It was just too cute I had to take a photo and here is the layout I did with the photos...

For this layout I used the beautiful "Millie's Garden" by Steel City Scraps. It's available at her Devine Digital Store (the links are ove in the happily creating for section).

Now for the last of my layouts, it's of my beautiful little fairy. In this photo my fairy was just getting over her tantrum because she didn't want her photo taken. I thought it looked so cute.

This layout was created using the cutest kit with the most gorgeous fairies in it, "Flutter Fairies" by the talented Cen's Loft Designs. It's available at her Studio Style Designs Store (the link is over in the happily creating for section).

Now onto the freebie I'm offering up, it's a mini kit named "Purple Princess". Here's the preview...

Here be the link to download ---> Purple Princess <---

Enjoy using Purple Princess.

Till next time, Be Well
Cheers Erica

2008-05-10T12:54:00.002+13:00

Well, my girls have gone away for the weekend and I have a little bit of time to do this. Today I have a few layouts to show off, a freebie and a blog challenge. So this should be fun. Now I have done a bit of time management, I'll definitely be blogging a lot more often. They'll be a lot more freebies and a few challenges just to keep things interesting. OK now off we go with a few of the layouts I have done for my CT's lately.

Adore

For this layout I used one of TrishH Designs latest kits "Boy-ish". It's an awesome kit to work with and is available at her Digital Candy store (the link is over on the side).

Silent Wanderings

This layout was created using The DigiTwins new kit "April Showers". This kit has some awesome elements and there is so much you can do with it. It's available at their Digital Candy store (the link is on the side).

Stargazing

I did this layout with Scrap Kitten's kit "Daisy Paisley". Such a cute kit, I loved working with it. This kit is available at Scrap Kittens store (the link is over the side).

Now just one more layout before I get to the freebie and the challenge. I have entered the goDigital Supreme Team 5 competition, this time i'm hoping to go further than round 2. Here's my first layout for round 1.

Sing Your Own Song

This was done using Christy Skaggs "Spring Bling"

Okay and now the bit you've all been waiting for, here's the preview for the freebie I'm offering. Well, the two previews for the first two parts of "Sleep Tight"...

I just adore the little sheep in this kit they are just sooooo gorgeous and were a lot of fun to make. Okay now here are the links...

----> Sleep Tight Part 1 <----
----> Sleep Tight Part 2 <----

Now for the really easy challenge I have for you. Make a layout using the first two parts of Sleep Tight, upload the layout to your DigiShopTalk gallery and leave a link to it in the comments back here and I will PM you the link to the third part of Sleep Tight at DigiShopTalk. This challenge will go until Sunday 11, May. Thats pretty easy, isn't it. Here's the preview to Sleep Tight Part 3...

Second is a Template Challenge, this was my first go at creating a template so it is very basic but it leaves plenty of room for special touches. Here's a look at the template...

Here are a few layouts that I created using it. Once you see both of them you'll notice that at the time I had a fetish going on with flowers,lol. The first one was created using Maria LaFrance's Tropical Gypsy all of Maria's wonderful kits are available @ digitalfreebies.com...

Hiya All,

Well, love is in the air and I thought I should join in the fun and offer out a Valentines freebie. So here is the preview to "Hearts On Fire"...

Here is the download link ---> Hearts On Fire

I have done a couple of layouts using the kit so you can see it in action. Here they be...

Now onto a few layouts I have done for the CT's I am on. I love this first one, my two little girls love playing in the dog's kennel, so I finally got round to taking photos of them in it. For this layout I used Leslie Hasenkamp's "Mary's Cats", which is available @ her Scrappin Digi Kreations store.

This next photo was taken on a trip to the park, where one of the older girls decided she wanted to have fun climbing the ropes with the little ones. A great time was had by all. For this layout I used Scrap Kitten's "Cozy Comfort", which is available @ her Scrap Kitten store. For this I also used one of TrishH's awesome templates, which are available @ her Do It Digi store.

For the past three weeks I have been participating in the Just For The Scrap Of It CT competition. So far all is going well, I have made it to Round 3. I thought I would share the layouts I have created for it so far.
Round 1: I had to use Amy Sumrall's "Lovey Dovey Nights", available @ her STORE

Layouts and a Freebie!

2008-02-04T10:19:00.001+13:00

Hiya All,

I'm back, it's been a month but I am finally back. Unfortunately I still have nothing to say. Well, I probably have plenty to say but I just can't think of anything right now. Obviously I am getting no better at blogging, now onto the reason I am here...
I have another freebie for you, hope you like it. Here's the preview...

Download Link --> Poolside Fun

Now for a few layouts I have done recently. These next two were done using Poolside Fun. The first one also used one of TrishH's amazing templates, available @ Do It Digi

Here is a layout I created using Scrap Kitten's Retro Chic, available @ Scrap Kitten, I also used a great template by Eva Kipler.

This day that our family spent at Waingaro Hot Springs was awesome. Both young and old enjoyed both the pools and the slides.

Next is a layout I did using Leslie Hasenkamps "Megan Rose", available @ Scrappin Digi Kreations

Well, that's me for now. Enjoy the freebie.

Till next time, Be Well.
Cheers Erica

My First Freebie

2008-01-18T10:11:00.000+13:00

Well, it's been a while since I've been in here. I really do need to get a lot better at remembering to blog. I have been trying my hand at designing a kit called Punky Munkey recently and have finally finished. So I have decided to offer
it up as a freebie and see what people think. Here is the preview:

I have created a couple of layouts using it and TrishH's fabulous templates <-- available @ Do It Digi Store

Here is the link to download: Punky Munkey

I need a lot more practise at blogging, I have no idea what to say and just seem to turn up blank when I try to think of any thing.
Here are a few of the layouts I have done for my CT's lately.

First is a layout created using Leslie Hasenkamp's "Cher" <--- available @ Moo Two Designs Store.

Next is a layout created using KylieM's "Dragon's Galore" <--- available @ Nut 4 Digi Store

Here is the third layout created using Scrap Kitten's " Chateau de L'Amour" <--- available @ Scrap Kitten Store

Thanx for stopping by and enjoy your freebie.

Till next time, Be Well

A Few Layouts and Some Good News

2007-12-17T21:56:00.000+13:00

Hiya All,

First for my great news, my little Cheyenne's touch team got Runner Up in their age group. I am so proud of them all, especially my girl.

She did so well being the only girl on the team. In the semi-final she finally got her first try and that finally made her really feel like she belonged.

Now for a few of the layouts I have done for my CT's.

I loved this kit to work with, it's so bright and cheerful.

Both these layouts were created using...

Magical Melody by Leslie Hasenkamp @ makeitscrappy.com

Now for a few more, I keep forgetting to post on here so when I eventually remember I have a lot to put up.

Here we have my beautiful Christmas Fairy. This is Maia's Christmas photo from daycare. When she first sat down to get there was no consoling her she did not want to have her photo taken and she was going to scream until she didn't have to take it. Once I calmed her down she took some very pretty pictures.

This layout was created using...

Night Before Christmas 2 by Scrap Kitten @ scrapkitten.com

In 1997 none of the men in our family would volunteer to be Santa, so we ended up with Santa Ange. She had a lot of trouble trying to do the deep "Ho Ho Ho's" of Santa.

This layout was created using...

A template by Templates 'N' More @ digitalscrapping.com

Night Before Christmas 2 by Scrap Kitten @ scrapkitten.com

Now for a few more layouts. This is the last lot so now you can breath a sigh of relief, if you've made it to here you must really like my layouts, lol.

This is all about my little ones favorite things to her there is nothing better than her big sisters shoes, eating ice cream and running like a wild thing (which usually results in a tumble).

This layout was created using...

Harvest Thanks by Leslie Hasenkamp @ scrappindigikreations.com

Well, I think that is definitely enough for tonight. I'll be back hopefully a lot quicker this time, I really am hoping that with time I might get a bit better at this.

My first Blog, how scary

2007-12-09T22:35:00.000+13:00

Well, this is my first attempt at blogging. I have been avoiding it because I could never think of anything to say. I have just joined two CT teams, TrishH Designs at Templates-N-More and Scrap Kitten. Here is one of the layouts that I created for TrishH...

Template 18 by TrishH Designs

Tahlia by Scrap 'N' Tag Designs

I loved working with this template, it suited the way I wanted to place my photos so perfectly. The kit suited Maia's attitude at the time the photo was taken.

Here is one of the layouts I created using "Morning Glory" by Scrap Kitten...

This kit was just so perfect for creating this layout for the latest addition to our family.

Till next time, be well, my friends
