Hello dear friends, this is my layout for
Show us your stuff this month, firstly their was a gorgeous sketch by
Sara, who hails from my area and I did one of my first classes with, apart from the sketch you had to scrap a winter photo, this is Col and Jan and me....on a cold day of recent weeks, I cooked them dinner and it is a rare photo of us just being together, these guys are my family and Nate loves them very much. Ipswich had it's coldest day on record last Thursday with a maximum of 13 degrees....our winter is here......gorgeous
Rachel Funnell is the Guest DT for them this month too.
As you all know I have just recently printed out my blog and although sometimes looking at my gorgeous son doing some crazy things may not be scrappy creative, the book I received is a recap of my last 2 years so now I feel propelled to add a little photo of him each post, I am usually with him, but as I start work next week the whole routine we have had until now will change no doubt. He is so cute, even toothless....
I was stoked to find I won the
DT Artastic layout for last month, what an awesome sight, so many great prizes each month, I am proud to be on this amazing DT.
The criteria for this month is
HERE, check it out, the sponsors are amazing.
And I had the honour of winning the
A2Z scraplets sketch challenge for May, I am again honoured to win this great challenge. Might I add, it has been a while since winning any challenges. lol
They have an awesome Blog hop starting tomorrow night at 8pm....I love a good Blog hop.
Hope you are all well, been dreary, overcast and at times rainy here today, thank goodness for scrapping and my favourite thing, blog hopping. Looking forward to your inspiration...Melxx
