I can finally show off some of my new stuff…
Paper Hearts was just something hat popped into my head a while ago then when I got my new scanner I just played around with some old newspapers and had some fun! So you get four large paper hearts, 2 large heart strings and 2 small heart strings. You can find these ‘whimsical elements’ HERE at DSH for $2 (AUS$)
Fly Me to the Moon started out with me playing with some simple line drawings in photoshop – trying to perfect my skills and the progressed from there. I just fell in love with the colour scheme of this kit – perhaps because it isn’t pink which is all I tend to scrap at the moment! You get …

- 2 Scalloped Edges
- 2 patterned Ribbons
- 4 Gross Grain Ribbons
- 4 Tags all with metal eyelets
- 4 Coloured Photo Corners
- 1 Bookplate, 2 Brads and 1 Eyelet

In other news….
I think I am going to catch up with my ex-boyfriend tomorrow. He is a very old friend… someone who I grew up with and was best buddies with both him and his sister for a long time before we hooked up, and for a while after we split up. We sort of drifted apart as we grew up and moved away and married different people (well his sister and I did, he is still single) but our parents are still close and still live around the corner from each other just like when we were kids. I see his parents a bit when I am at my parent’s place so we both know all about what the other is up to but it has been YEARS since we have seen each other….
He now owns and runs a play centre near my parents place and we always mean to take the girls but it never happens… and secretly I have been glad of that. But he rang this afternoon asking if my Mum would help him with something and before I could make an excuse she had said we’d bring the girls over in the morning!!!!
It’s not at all that I don’t still want to be friends with him, in fact I really like to pick up our old friendship it’s just that…. well…. I had this idea that when we finally caught up again I’d atleast be having a good hair day! And I haven’t had a good hair day in months, I need a hair cut so bad and there are a few grey hairs that I’d rather not share with him and little change of any of that miraculously being resolved over night. Plus I didn’t even bring any semi decent clothes with me, and my favorite shoes broke so I will have to wear my Mum’s daggy shoes… I don’t want my ex boyfriend thinking I wear grandma shoes!!!!!!!
Oh gosh how vain does all of that sound? But I can’t help it. As much as I love him to bits and as much as I am supremely happy with my life, my children and my husband… I guess part of me wants my ex to look at me and just for a moment… just a split second… be a tiny bit disappointed that he let me go.
Ah but I guess I will just have to settle for a smile and a chat and try to talk myself into believing that I can see my ex boyfriend for the first time in almost 5 years, even with bad hair!
Leah says
Oh you poor bugger – I feel it for you, I really do! The only good meeting with an ex is if you are looking totally fabulous, or you can get drunk, preferbaly both :D
Ah he has bad taste anyway if he let you go, don’t waste no style time on him :D
Zebette says
Kate, what a stunning new kit! You know I love it but no ..not sucking up for a freebie…I already bought it! :)
Goodluck with your ex tomorrow…it’s the bonus of being a twin mum, you won’t have time to stop and talk much!
Heather says
I hope it goes well with the ex!! Perhaps like Jo said.. you’ll be too busy chasing the girls to worry about it! Let us know how it went :) {{hug!}}
loz says
Gorgeous layouts… Don’t waste a second even thinking about your ex this morning Kate, easier said then done huh,the less you think about him the more radiant you will look. I hear you completely mums huh she probably wants to show off her grandbabies :D
Lis says
Hey, here I was stalking the full kit, and didn’t even know about the second one!! They both look fantastic (but you already know that going by the page I had up within hours of buying it :) )
Look forward to hearing all about today’s catch up ;) I’m sure you look gorgeous regardless!
Zebette says
Kate forgot to mention on the whole ex boyfriend issue, be thankful it’s only for a morning. I get to see my ex from high school every Tuesday afternoon when I pick up Ab from school, he’s her music teacher and teaches her class last lesson of the day, it’s going to be a loooong year, but on the upside…my DH has a full head of hair still ;)
Bonnie says
Your new kits look awesome Kate.. :)
Peta says
I know what you mean TOTALLY on the ex thing – ran into mine when I just ‘ducked’ down to the video store – wearing crappy old house clothes, had bad hair day so it was all just pulled back out of my face .. EKK ROFL.
The Paper hearts are FANTASTIC and the Fly me to the moon kit so makes me wish I had a little boy to scrap *pout* ROFL.
