Also congratulations to:

Fleur with her lo 'Grandpa' p96.

I hope I haven't missed any one:-)

Also more exciting news - my prize pack from the Chatterbox Make It Meaningful Competition run last year finally arrived and I love what they have sent me:
There's a memory building kit 'chateaux', a doodle genie, 8 more 12x12 papers, 2 sets of sticker packs, 2 sets of chipboard alphas and a gorgeous mini album kit 'guest room'. Love all the colours and the selection of different things so thanks to Brett and Luisa at Addicted To Craft for sending this out:-)


A few scrapping things I did last weekend for cc's at Crafting In style and Little Scrap Book Shop. Lots of fun.

The 'mum' card was based on a sketch . I have used sei pp, autumn leaves flourishes stamp (that goes on just about everything I do lately), mm gameboard alphas and some vellum.
This was for LSBS and was a technique challenge. PP is sassafras lass. All I need to do now is decide what photos to put in it.
This layout had to use the word 'adore' and at least 3 hearts. I used a frame from the wonderful fancy pants big chipboard pack - I love it. I used Matisse Ink to colour it then stamped it with my favourite flourishes (of course). The wore 'adore' and the arrow were also from that pack and I did the same with them. The pp is Alison Ellis, the gorgeous red from the impressions range.
Another sketch challenge but also had to use 3 different pp's. I used Delish Designs, Urban Lily, and scrapbook.com. Also a selection of chipboard letters which I covered in kindyglitz (an idea I stole from Vicky - thanks Vicky!), MM cheeky jigsaw shapes, a K and Co puzzle piece, vellum and eyelets. Oh and I wrote the wrong date at the bottom - it should be 2005! I did change it on my layout but haven't taken a new photo.

This has turned out to be a long post, thankyou if you got to the end!
Have a wonderful weekend.
