Celebrate the Season

Well we are finally back after our little break, all refreshed and ready to go. Have you missed us??

I am going to kick things off with a challenge. Because I love autumn so much, I challenge you to celebrate the season!! Create something with an autumnal theme. Scrap your autumn pictures or use the colours of autumn as inspiration for a card. Perhaps even create an autumn themed altered art project.

I have created a layout with one of my recent photos. I used a sheet of white bazzill cardstock as my base. The patterned papers are yummy american crafts which came out of the 12x12 lucky dip. The leaves and the word autumn were cut from the reverse of some of the papers and doodled on with black marker pen. The rest of the title is made up of colour rubz alpha rub ons. These rub ons are fab value for money as you get loads of each letter in two different colours all in a cute little tin (they go on perfectly as well even onto photos). Finally to finish off I made a photo corner from a piece of felt from the september scrapjunkie kit and some brads.

I can't wait to see what you come up with...

Guv here! Just popping by to say, we will have a random drawing for the winner(s) this month. & there'll be shopping vouchers for our store up for grabs!! how many & how much is totally up to you. More entries means more vouchers/£££!! So spread the word!!

Helping hands!

Just a quick layout from me today, using some American Crafts papers that came in the 12x12 lucky dip which is on offer at the moment giving you 12 assorted sheets for just £1! What a great bargain! I used a full sheet of double sided paper as my background, used a second sheet as a large mat for the photo and then used the reverse of another sheet to cut out my title and journalling strips. If I keep going at this rate I'll be able to make about 6 or 7 layouts for just a pound!

Don't forget to keep checking out Guv's blog as there's something new each day during her 40 days celebrations. Also if you haven't already done it then pop over to my blog to tell me what you love to do on your birthday and you could win my mini book.
