A productive few weeks.....

Well I have had a very productive few weeks and more than happy with what I have achieved....

A couple of weeks ago LSBS had the October CC and I managed to get 3 of the challenges completed and loved them all!!!!!

The first was the sketch challenge and the very talented Tracy certainly did it justice with her interpretation......

I loved how mine turned out too!!!!

The second challenge I completed was the Guest Designer's challenge. Tarrah did a great job and we had to use some sort of fence in our layouts. I loved this challenge too.....

The other challenge I managed to complete was the step x step challenge by Nic. It was to make a house and include this on our layout. Happy with how mine turned out....

Last weekend the gorgeous Helen held the WCMD. It was a great idea and lots of the ladies got heaps of cards made (and such beautiful ones at that!!!!)

The first challenge was to make a set of birthday cards (matching)...

Here are mine...

The second challenge was the sketch challenge and I have used this sketch many times before and love it.....I love the card I made too....

The third challenge was to make 'some' christmas cards. I made four slightly different ones for the comp then managed to almost finish all mine for christmas using the same four designs. Gotta be happy with that.....

Great weekend Helen........

Cheers and hope everyone has a great week.

Lets Get Shabby No 4 Challenge.....

Lets Get Shabby Challenge No 4.....

OMGoodness I cant believe how quickly the months are flying by....It will be christmas again before we know it....

Well the 'Lets get shabby' team have done it again with their amazing challenges they mange to come up with each month...This month DT member Julie has set the challenge and its a sketch which is just cool as........ We are to also use something vintage either in the photo or some embellishment...

I got given some old photos of mum and dad's a few weeks ago and just love this one that I have used for this challenge. It is some relation to mum BUT she is a bit unsure just who it is and on the back of the photo is only the year 1922, so I used it for my vintage part. (I have an aunty who I will be able to get some more info from regarding the photo so will finish my journalling then) . I also got given an old music book and by the looks of it it is very very vintage so have also used a page from this.

I thought the Ruby rock-it p/p's fitted perfectly so have used these with a touch of red...

I made the flower from some old lace.

This is my take on the challenge.....

Thanks for another great challenge......

Thanks heaps for looking.....

Cheers
