Being an iphone owner, I am always on the look out for new fun apps and this one is simply amazing!! I can't believe that all these little animals and their clothes are made with paper, how cool is that!

  There is a choice of six little characters to choose from including a kitty, a frog, a monkey, a baby, a duck and a dinosaur.


Can you imagine sitting there and cutting out piece by piece, I am so glad she had the patience to do it as my girls love playing with this app!

Mix and match over 180 different items of clothing, shoes and accessories on your chosen character and save it to show it off to your friends. You can even save it as your screen saver for your iphone or print it out from your computer for so many different idea's. Why not print out a whole bunch of them for a unique game of snap! Guaranteed to keep the little one's busy for at least half an hour....lol!


The oh so creative Robin Rosenthal, who is a graphic designer and illustrator who specializes in designing and developing products for babies and children, is the artist behind this super fun application. 

I haven't done a fix it Friday photo for quite some time so I thought I would have a go!
This weeks photo is by Rachel Durik from Savor Photography. Let's have a look at the original photo:


Here is what I did to edit the photo:

• Firstly, I ran Ambrosia from the Luxe Action Set by Flora Bella
• I added a texture layer called Papyrus from Pareeerica set to Soft Light at 100%
• Duplicated the texture and changed this layer to Multiply at 10%
• I took my eraser tool and erased the texture from their clothes on both texture layers
• I cropped the photo
• Lastly, I added a Vignette at 100% from Flora Bella's Extra Actions

Here is my edited photo:


Wishing all the Dads out there a Happy Father's Day ;) Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

I finally upgraded my Canon 400d for a 50d a few weeks ago so I managed to find some time to grab a few shots of a bunch of ranunculus I purchased for myself to cheer my mood, it worked too! I sold my old camera and its kit lenses so I could purchase a few lenses I actually wanted like this one and this one which is due on my doorstep next week. Still waiting on that camera strap to arrive as well!
Ok, on with some goodies I am loving right now:

Complicated.......that's the best word that comes to mind when I look back over the past few weeks. Just when you think you are on top of everything, it all comes crashing down around you and you are left to pick up all the pieces and put them back together like a jigsaw. Some of the pieces just don't seem to fit together like they used to. That leaves me wondering why?


That's how I feel right now, out of sorts, finding it hard to put the pieces back together.

I am usually good at this, really, I promise!

I just roll with the punches, take each step as I need to to move forward. Get the job done. Succeed!

Not fall to pieces in front of an audience, shake with anger and tears when they don't see the bigger picture.




I WILL make this work.
I WILL not hold back.
I WILL fight for her.
I WILL stick up for her.
I WILL speak for her.
And I WILL cry for her.


Time to make some changes, good ones, ones that make us smile again. Forget about the negative and look for the positive. Laugh in the face of the non believers, the ones who want to cut us down.

Look out as we have LOVE & UNDERSTANDING on our side!
