So Busy!

I'm sure it's the same for everyone at this time of year but I seem to have so much to do before christmas. I started to write a list but after 2 A4 pages I decided it was getting too overwhelming so I would stop.

Some of the things are only little like buy christmas crackers (which I did on friday) but other things are huge like clear up the back garden (an all day job I reckon). Still got masses of shopping to do so I might go one evening and try to get a lot done then.

On the scrapping front I won the SBT50 monthly challenge for November. It was a great challenge - to do a layout for less than $10. Any embellishments from a pack had to have the cost of the whole pack included. This is the layout I did. It took me ages to cut out all the printed words! Embellishthis kindly donated the prize of a $35 voucher so I am really looking forward to spending that - maybe after christmas when things are quiet again.

I contacted Brett and Luisa from addictedtocraft to see what was happening with the $100 runners up voucher from the Chatterbox Make It Meaningful competition and also to see if I can post pics of my album on my blog. The prize is actually going to be a gift pack of goodies which was decided on when the chatterbox people came over in november. The shipment has been delayed and is due in a couple of weeks. I will share all the details when it arrives. I also need to scan my album soon as possible so that they can put some pics on their website. All very exciting.

This is a layout I did for Bonscraps cybercrop. We had to use only lime green, orange and yellow. The colours are very off in the photo as the green is much much brighter irl.

I've been inspired by Charmane's OTP heart canvas recently and have done a couple of layouts with a photo in a heart. The other one uses AED papers but I haven't taken a photo of it to upload yet.

Aren't the bushfires awful? What about all the smoke in the air today? For any of you in the bushfire zone I hope that the fires are contained soon and the firemen and women have my admiration for the difficult job they do.
