Drum roll please...

Thank you for taking part in my challenge. I love to see how different the LOs that are created from a sketch or scraplift are :) There were two lots of goodies up for grabs this month and they go to Julie for this LO;
I love the paint and all that bling.

And Leigh for this one.
The thready ribbon type stuff works really well with the lashes.

Thank you ladies for your lovely entries.

February Challenge

If, like me, you've already made your Valentine's card then you're ahead of the game on this month's challenge. Since February is the month of love and giving a card to show that love this month's challenge is a card related one. I realise that Valentine's day is just upon us so it doesn't have to be a Valentine's card (Mother's Day is only a month away!) but the challenge is to make a card to give to someone else to tell them that they are important to you. Here is my Valentine's card that I'll be sending this year.
Please add a link to the comments section by midnight Friday 12th March if you'd like to be in with a chance of winning a February themed kit, when I randomly select someone.

Studio Challenge Sunday

And it is the first of the challenges that I am officially involved in in my role as a Design Team member :) So the challenge is;

' If I were a boy...create a page based around the idea of what life would be like if you were a member of the opposite sex. What would be better about it? What would you miss?'. I spent quite a long time on just finding the right photo for this one. I did find these ones;

because obviously being able to pee without having to queue for a loo, or even find a loo is the most appealing part of being a guy (IYAM!). But in the end I decided to take a picture of a couple of jelly babies. I was lucky to get the shot though as a small person snuck up on me and ate the lady jelly baby after only three shots! And here is my finished LO.


Materials:

Kelly Panacci 'His & Hers' paper and stickers
Kaiser crafts rub on stiches
Magic mesh
Giant ric rac from Hobby Craft
7 gypsies ‘Retail therapy’ stickers
October Afternoon ‘Road trip’ word stickers
October Afternoon ‘Very Merry’ label stickers

Doodlebug mini alphas
American crafts Thickers ‘Chit chat’
Luxe designs rub on brackets
Ticket from Indigo Mill

All My Own Photos CJ February Posting


I hate to wasted paper and after making the LO for the UKS challenge the week before last I had lots of lovely paper from Indigo Mill left. It came in really handy for my latest UKS CJ entry in the 'All my own photos' CJ for Beth. Her CJ is about her trip to Newcastle and the photos are of two bridges in Newcastle.

Up for Anything CJ round 1

My first CJ in the 'Up for Anything CJ' that I'm hosting on UKS arrived from Lorraine and is an inspiration CJ. The sketch I chose is one from the pagemaps blog, that I was able to flip and use in the same way as I have three times already in a way that I love. And this is how I used it.

UKS Challenge January Week 3

This week's challenge was set by Sue on UKS. We had to create a layout with an old photo (you, your family, your friends, places you've lived or are meaningful to you) and tell the story of this memory. I chose a couple of photos from 1977 of my Mum and I in Holland.

Materials:

Laundry Line Collection: Dots and Wild fern paper (Indigo Mill)
Sacking
Blooms and buttons from stash
October afternoon Label stickers
