Lets Get Shabby......Challenge No 18...

Well its almost christmas again (seems like I was only just thinking of all the organising for last year!!!!) Time just seems to be flying by or maybe I am just getting a little older.:-)
Anyway challenge no 18 over at http://letsgetshabby.blogspot.com/2010/11/challenge-18.html is a gorgeous christmas themed one.
This is my take on the wonderful inspirational challenge.
I chose to use the christmas song 'Joy to world' as its not only one of my many favourites BUT suited this picture of gorgeous little 'Evie'.....
I have used the beautiful MME's range of p/p's and also glimmermisted the background with a stencil.
I love how this turned out and hope you do to...

Close up of the chipboard christmas tree that I left raw but painted some of the circle shapes with red smooch.  The photo does not really do this justice but it turned out with such a beautiful sheen.....

And another little close up of the bits and pieces I have used.....I LOVE these little rose brads......

Thanks so much for another wonderful inspiring challenge 'shabby girls'......I LOVED this awesome challenge.....
Thanks so much for looking....
Have a great week everyone.

White with 1 Challenge...

White with 1 is back!!!!! Well to be honest I didnt know it exsisted before BUT its now back.  What a wonderful challenge site.
You can find all the details of the challenge http://whitewith1.blogspot.com/2010/11/welcome-to-ww1s-november-challenge.html
Such inspiration from the girls and I love the yellow with the white.
Here is my take on the challenge.....

I have had the busiest week and week-end ever (or so it seems) BUT this is a brand new week so we just get on with it.  I have busy busy cutting, dyeing and crocheting (yummy new flowers) so hopefully my little shop will be full again in the next week or so.

Have a great week everyone .

Cheers.

'Get Picky' Inspiration Challenge....

Wow this is such an awesome site and so far I have loved the challenges.
This is the 2nd for the month and you can find out all about it http://getpicky.blogspot.com/2010/10/inspiration-challenge-1.html..
Such inspiration is found from all the DT members.

I have been so so busy the last few weeks that little or no scrapping has been done BUT I just needed to sit this arvo and do some.  
The idea was to take inspiration from the photo which I instantly found in the colours and of course the little banner LOL. It would be pretty hard not to get any inspiration from this picture and beware it makes you very very hungry especially if you have a sweet tooth like me....
Here is my take.....

Thanks 'get picky' for another great challenge.
Thanks heaps for looking......
Have a great week.

Happy Shopping.



And now onto the winner of my little giveaway.
Sorry ! but computers and I are not great friends so it would have taken me forever to work out how to load the random generator so I decided to stick with the old fashioned way.  I wrote
everyones name  on pieces of scrap paper and got one of the little people to pick one out.
So the lucky winner is.........
