Your Mission Should you choose to accept it.........

Here it is....my first blog sketch challenge for you all. I have just discovered how to create a sketch on the computer thanks to the help of a friend!!! So here we go.

Your mission should you choose to accept it is to create a layout using my sketch...post a comment containing a link to your finished layout so we can all see it. You will have until the end of April to complete the layout. At the end of April I will choose a winner who will receive a little RAK from me (sorry Aussies only).

So go for it people...can't wait to see what you come up with.

THE SKETCH


MY EXAMPLE


This example was made using the Prima flowers I won as blog candy over on the Allcraftz for You blog....hop on over and check them out.

And a few more.........

This is a book I made for a very dear friend....she is also a scrapper and I hope this book proves a safe place to store all those little snippets of inspiration that hit us at the strangest times!!!! LOL



The two books above were made as gifts for 2 of my kids teachers.

This one was made for my mum for her birthday.....I know she liked it as she rang me in tears to thank me for it. It means so much when you know people like what you create doesn't it? She uses it everyday..... I guess her way of being close to each other....love you Mum.
This card was made just because!! LOL

Latest creations

Hello Everyone.....well this little Froggy has been a bit quiet on the blog scene of late...but I have been doing a bit or scrapping and card making. So here are a few of my latest creations. Would love to know what you think.

This layout was done for a competition over at Allcraftz. We were given Making Memories paper samples and asked to create a layout/card/ATC using specific criteria. For this one I used a photo showing the back of something and a one word title ending in a question mark.

This card was also for the Making Memories paper challenge at Allcraftz. The criteria used for this one was the use of inchies.

This card was to use the meak Stickers from HOTP. They are so easy to use and have great impact.

Don't you just LOVE House Mouse stamps! They are so cute. This card was made especially for a friends birthday (I know she is a house mouse fan too). I just love the colours of the Kaiser papers too......very yummy!

And Magnolia stamps!!! What more can I say!? They are just beautiful and easy to watercolour. I have used one of my favourite paper brands on this one....Basic Grey!!! YUMMO!!!!

Thanks for looking at my work....would love to know what you think.

Spread the love!!!


OH WOW.....thank you so much for this award Ebony!!! It is so exciting!!!!!!

The rules: you must post the award on your blog, name the person who awarded you, then pass the award to 6 other bloggers and leave a message on their blog that they've received the award.

So now I guess I need to pass this on to 6 people.....hmmmm ..... I guess they need to have blogs right? Ok well that narrows it down a little. And I guess I shouldn't pick people who I know have already received it.....hmmmmm........

Ok my 6 nominees are........

~ Nardi (visit Card by Nard)
~ Ness
~ Krissy
~ Susan

Thank you all for showing me you care and for being a friend!!!

ENCOURAGED AWARD


I received an encouragement award from a great friend of mine Nardi. Thanks so much Nardi, you have been an encouragement to me both in crafting circles and in life generally. Thank you so much!!!

I would like to pass on this award to a few people who have encouraged and supported me. (there really are so many I could pass this on too..... but some don't have blogs so that makes it hard)

Jo - because she is ALWAYS there for me!

Ebony from Allcraftz - because she was the first to take a chance on me

Krissy - 'cos she encourages me when I need it

Marnie - for her wicked sense of humor that gives me a lift when I need it

Avie - for the love and support she shows





Thank you to everyone who has had an influence on me and my life!!!
