October Challenges

These come around so quickly!!! One day I may even be able to give them a go, lol!!
Firstly the Sketch Challenge -


With this challenge, you need to create a card using this layout. You don’t have to worry about the instructions on this layout (ie. Versamark, ripped vellum), just use the layout to design your card.

And next the colour challenge -



Use this picture as inspiration to come up with a card (using similar colours as used in this photo). I can see Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Elegant Eggplant, Soft Sky and Whisper White, but I am sure that you can probably see a bunch of other colours, so see what you can create!!

Now just for fun and for something different (this is not a competition, this one is just to share some creative scrapbook ideas) here is a page sketch....


I love this sketch, see what beautiful pages you can come up with using this and let us all see!!

Entries are due by the 20th of October, so either email or post them to me or link them to my blog.... Good Luck!!

Burrum Heads Class

I thought I would share, as I think the little bags are so cute...

UStamp Prize

I am so excited!!! It is like Christmas!!! I mentioned in an earlier post that I had joined up for the first class through UStamp, well guess what!! I entered a competition through UStamp and won a prize!!! I got it in the mail today, all the way from Canada, here is what I won!!!!



How awesome is that!! Can't wait to go and use it! The ribbons are in the new US In Colours and they are so nice... And the stamp set is in our Catalogue and is one that I don't have yet, so that is great! That will have to wait though as I am organising everything for my stall at the Craft Fair next week and also prepping for Monday nights class at the moment.... Not to mention organising everything for Georgia to start daycare on Monday!!!! busy, busy, busy....
Talk to you all soon,
