Anna's Products and my step by step

I was soooo lucky to be sent the NEW October Afternoon Range 'Report Card'.

I love the bright primary colorus and the classic vintage feel

If you want to have a look at the step-by-step or to purchase the papers head over to Anna's

This is a photo of me dear friend Lynn's little girl, as my children are not in school yet, and I really want to use these papers for their intended theme.

I love my Puppy

It is so nice having a new topic to scrap. I love having a dog in the family....except for the mud, the smell and the biting!!!!!

This is a layout I have created for the ENCHANTED SCRAPBOOKS

Christmas Carol competition

All day Crop

This is my take on the A2Z Scraplets sketch this month

This is my take on the Totally Addicted to Scraps Challenge Sketch this month

And this is my challenge Layout for a Cyber Crop at Enchanted Scrapbooking using a Hybrid tree image from Tiff as a part of the challenge,

as well as taking inspiration from the Magic Faraway Tree story

Nothing like having the entrie day to scrap amongst fellow scrappers to get the MOJO going. Add to that a few challenges and you get a lot done!

My Love affair..

With Glimmermist and Shimmerz has begun.

I have never really been a fan of then, and have always been a little scared to be honest, but I decided to give it a bach, and OMG...I LOOOOOOVE them!

This Layout I created using the Sketch at Bon's Scraps.

INSPIRED BLUEPRINTS #36

Another gorgeous sketch from IB...love this one again

Here is my take, using the fabulous EAD rubons again...very cute indeed
