Some News...and my first Scrapbook Challenges Blog Hop


Welcome to the first Scrapbook Challenges blog hop of 2011 - if you're here for that, you should've reached me after visiting Natalie's blog. If you are just stopping by but want to join in with the hop, you'll need to start at Pamela's blog. There are prizes to be won...!

OK - now for the news! I am proud to announce that I have been selected for the Scrapbook Challenges DT for the first term of 2011. So, I'm a newbie. For the benefit of other newbies, Scrapbook Challenges is a group positively bursting with sketches, challenges and inspiration, not to mention fantastic members, as well as monthly prizes from sponsors! I'm really happy to be part of this DT and can't wait to get started.

A little bit about me: I'm a freelance editor with a fiance, pink in my hair, a dog and fingers that won't keep still. I try to keep them occupied with scrapping, baking, dog training and learning to play the piano.

I might have mentioned prizes a little earlier. This is the sketch challenge in which you must participate to stand a chance of winning some goodies:


And here's my take on the sketch:


The paper I used was Bazzill Swiss Dots (Rope Swing), MME Quite Contrary Jack & Jill (Favourite Things "Colourful Umbrellas"), MME Quite Contrary Jack & Jill (Life is Good "Hanging Around") and Basic Grey Basics (Ledger).


And now for the juicy bits. The RAKS involved in this blog hop:

1. One person who leaves a comment on all the blogs in the hop will get the new Spring Market collection from Webster's Pages, including chipboard buttons and twine:
2. One person who does a layout based on the sketch will get the Be Mine collection from Echo Park:
3. For inviting people to join the group, one person will get a collection of adhesives from Helmar:

4. One new member over the weekend will get some new stamps from Unity and Webster's Pages. These are top secret and only just about to be released so there is no picture yet - but they will coordinate with the new Spring Market line from Webster's.


Now, hop on over to Mary Ann's blog to continue the hop. Thanks for stopping by and good luck with the sketch challenge!
