WHOOOHOOO it's in print!!!

my layout that was accepted for publication last year, has finally made it into the magazine that came out today!!!! Vol 12 #3.....here's the page:

I've been doing a little bit of scrapping at some crop days, one of which was held at my my mum's house on Labour Day. It was great to get out for the whole day rather than just a few hours at night, but in saying that I also scrapped at my friend Cristi's house the other night and I got two and a half layouts done there. I think it makes a difference when its not at your own place, you can relax more and let the mojo take over! Anyways, here are a few of the layouts that I created over those last two crop day/night.

This one is for a Sketch hosted my Felicity over at Bon's Scraps. Love her work and sketches, and it also had to include paint circles which were lots of fun and very effective!!

Bon's Scraps is also having their March CC starting next week on the 23rd March. You can check out the information here and below is the timetable: Come along its lots of fun!!!!

8:45- Sketch Challenge

9:05- bingo

MAKE SURE YOU POP IN EVERYDAY TO CHECK OUT THE PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGES TOO!

This one "Sweet" was created for Scrapboutique's Stash stomper hosted by the lovely KarenB. Karen's sketch and sample is devine and the added criteria was to include atleast 3 different materials/felt/ribbon etc.

This one "create" is my week #2 submission for Scrapability sketches Soup challenge. It's ran by the beautiful Bek and inspired by 5 different 'ingredients' for each day of the week and then a 'twist'. This one was to include: Kraft cs, rubon, transparency, round embellishment, bling and 8.5" x 11" layout. These were photos from the day at kinder that I was on duty, hehe so cute!

I also played along with their monthly sketch challenge below:

This next one will form part of a a double layout of the one above and I have entered it into My sketch world.
I've never entered into their comps before, so am still learning about how they do things. I also entered into their card sketch too with a cute card for our friends Michelle and Steve's new little addition - Lily Jean.

AND LASTLY!!!!

I've decided to step down from the DT at Artypants. It's something that I had been thinking about for a couple of months so it wasn't a decision I made lightly. It's be great hanging out with the girls on the forum and coming up with challenges and games for the members, especially the fun Scrap your Pants off comp. But there comes a time when things need to take a back seat in order to accomplish other goals in your life and right now that entails my big O/S trip in May.

Thanks for having me on the team Jodie and I've learnt lots and made lots of friends :)

Well that's it for now. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my layouts, I really appreciate all your kind thoughts and feedback!!!
