I'm having a giveaway..... or 2!

Hi everyone...and huge welcome to my new followers :)
I have been thinking for  while now that when I reach 150 followers here on my little ol blog, that I would have a giveaway ....and yep, you guessed it....I have now reached 150...YAY.

So I've been sifting through my stash & have come up with enough for 2 giveaways :)
Some of the packets of stickers, chipboard etc have been used & will possibly have 1 or 2 pieces missing from them....so I hope you're ok with that!

I'd like to give a big thank you to Vanessa Tiberti (owner of 2crafty chipboard) for allowing me to add some of my leftover pieces of chippie into my giveaway.....which is so so generous of her!

So, here are the giveaways.....

The first one is more girl orientated...and includes a MFT Die - Rolled Mum and a few little stamps.

The 2nd one is more male orientated...but some of the papers could be used for either male or female.
It also includes the same MFT Rolled Mum die (don't ask me how I ended up with 3 of these! lol) and a Kaisercraft bubblewrap stamp

 




I will keep the giveaway open until the end of September....so that gives you 3 & a bit weeks.

To be in the running, you need to do the following:

1. Become a follower of my blog, if you aren't already
2. Add your name to the linky tool below...giving your full name & country
3. If you advertise my giveaway on your own blog or facebook etc, add your name to the linky tool again for a 2nd entry for the giveaway.

ETA:  Apparently the linky tool will not let you add your name twice, nor let you add the same link (to your blog)....so the only thing I can think of to get around this little hitch, is to leave me a message in the comments section to say where you have advertised the giveaway :)

Thanks for entering.....and good luck!

September sketch @ The Scrapbook Store

Hi everyone...wow, September already!
How fast is the year going!?  The weeks seem to go by so fast, then before you know it another month is over...and yep, soon we'll be saying it's almost C-r-s-m-s   :-o ....which I really don't want to think about yet!

So, a new month means a new sketch challenge at The Scrapbook Store
Again it is another fabulous sketch created by Nadia....

And here is the layout I created...I have rotated the sketch 90 degrees clockwise to suit my 3 landscape photos...

I have included a couple of flourishy scrolls from the 2crafty, Design Elements pack...and I have painted them in Pistachio acrylic paint with some added sand...then I have inked in brown & also lightly sanded.  Just about everything else on the page is Prima....besides the lace & Thickers.

A close up of the 2crafty flourish scrolls & cluster.

And my title, using AC Thickers...that I have altered with some sand mixed in brown paint, then inked & gesso'd.

 

The photos are of the historic homestead - Highfield, near Stanley in Tasmania. 
It was a really interesting place to visit...oh, and great for taking photos too!!

You have until the 30th of September to upload your entries for the sketch challenge to the September folder in the Scrapbook Store gallery.  As always, there is a $40 store voucher up for grabs that also includes free postage!

Looking forward to seeing what you create!
Thanks so much for dropping by :)  xx

Some more cards....

Hi again fellow bloggers :)

 

I am back to share the final creations from my August DT kit from The Scrapbook Store

(formerly known as Handmade by Suzanne)...using Cosmo Cricket's "Tea for Two"

 

I've created 3 very simple cards from the leftovers in my kit....

 

 

The first one doesn't have a sentiment on the front...I just left it blank, but may add one when the time comes to give the card to someone, if I feel it needs it.  I've just used a few scrap pieces of Butter & Cup & Saucer papers...with a piece of trim & one of the Stacked Stickers added on top.  

Told ya it was simple!...lol 

 

 

Again, no sentiment on this one either.  And again using leftover scrap pieces of Tea Towel & Sugar Cubes papers...a piece of lace from my stash, a sticker strip from the Cardstock Sticker pack...and another Stacked Sticker on top.

 

 

 

And the last one....Scraps of Butter & Tea Tins papers.. one of the journal tags from the Element Deck Journal tags booklet & yet another of the Stacked Stickers.  Again, very very simple!

 

 

That's all I have for now...hope everyone is having a fab weekend!

Thanks so much for dropping by & for all the lovely comments that you all leave me :) xx
