Tiff - twine
Today i found another challenge in my inbox!
Tiff worked on this at the scrapathon - but fiddled a little more on returning home and found it fit the twine challenge beautifully.
Great job Tiff. Love the journalling strips and the brads.
If there are any other pages out there that fit our themes - please send them in. I know i spied some twine layouts being produced on my table at the scrapathon ;-)

a heads up....
Keep your eyes peeled for posts on here about it AND in your email in box.
I would hate anyone to miss out because they read about it too late. Remember that the past two years have sold out in hours.
KEEP YOUR EYES OUT!

This is my lounge room at the moment.
I am in the middle of packing as I have just fulfilled one of my dreams, to own my own home. Imagine my amusement when I realized what what printed on the front box.
Hope you all have a fantastic weekend up at Karkoo, I'm sure you all will.
Cheers Trish

Amanda - kitchen inspiration and fav. drink
Well i might be a bit late but i am slowly plugging away at the challenges.
This is from last month - Meredith's kitchen inspiration challenge. I have sewn baking paper around the border of this layout and used cork - i wanted to use the back of a placemat but i had chucked them all out so had to plead help from Sue's stash!
Also a fav. drink - well it would be if i could drink it all the time i think. The hype is well deserved!

"here's a picture of the snake we had in our yard on sunday. "
Eeewww is all I can say!!! I hate snakes - a good snake is a dead snake I say!
Hand cut title - Maryanne
Maryanne I'll definitely accept that - sounds very impressive!!!
Plus I love your layout - great colours, clever photo and a funky layout!
Hand cut title - Tiff
"I used Heidi Swapp ghost letters and adhered them on to October Afternoon Piggy Tales PP. Then I cut them out with my trusty craft knife (new blade really helped lol)
And viola, perfectly co coordinated title with the LO. "
Lovely Tiff - the cluster of flowers is beautiful and a great way to get a big alpha shape with a "template" by using the ghost letters!

Hand cut title - Sue
"At last i have scrapped again. I decided to use my letter stencils for my title....remember we used them for school projects etc??..... I bought a pack of various fonts when i first started scrapping and have hardly used them, so this was a great chance to get them out and blow the dust off them!!
Also the stitched paper border was a design inspired by a Mardi Winen page that i saw on Scrapboxx".
Really love your title Sue - really effective! The paper strips are a great use of scraps too - very clever! And I always love the look of stitching!

Hand cut title - Marika
Wow I love your layout!
The title looks great and quite fiddly so great job!
The colours are delish, especially that spotty background!
Thank you!
