Wow Lou - this looks great! Love the paint instead of paper and the cool hand drawn stitches - your free style with the pen is just too clever!! The circles of red and the splats of pink are just delicious! I am in love with how you draw around your brads and buttons too - awesome inspiring stuff! Can't wait to see the ASS one!!

amazing what you can do in a minute ...
okay so one of the latest things is washi tape, a Japanese semi transparent masking tape in a huge range of colours and patterns ...
American Crafts have a similar product called Mixtape which is very nice!!
Take a look at this clip to make some yourself ... oh and I reckon our local post office has suitable packaging tape ;-)

all is quiet on all fronts ... LOL
so at this time of the year there are a lot of blog posts out there in the blogosphere about "Photo a Day" ," a month of Photo a Days" etc etc ... here is a post with some examples of what is out there ...
which I would love to commit to but sometimes just don't get around to ...
so I just found this link to a template where you can create a collage of some photos for each month of the year ...
http://rebeccacooper.blogspot.com/2010/12/month-in-photos.html
hey what a great idea!!
This year (2011) has a different layout ... more landscape so take a look at the link for more details and the downloads.
You could create a special album and make a lovely cover and print off or hand write journaling about each month ... what a great record I reckon!!
Okay so some of you can do this with your eyes shut but I am hopeless at those technical computery things so I though it was worth posting the link for anyone who is in the same boat as me!! LOL

e2c 2011 update
Monday was the last day for registering for our awesome e2c classes and workshop (Tatum , Fran, Michelle, and Lou). We have had a great response with almost everyone booking into at least one class or workshop
This is just wow, wow, WOW!
In the past few years, technique workshops have featured heavily (particularly stamping) on our feedback forms so we decided to incorporate them into 2011.
We feel very blessed to have two incredibly talented ladies leading us through various techniques which will add different elements to our pages.
What a coup to have secured Fran and Tatum as our main class teachers prior to them being named Masters! I cannot wait to participate in these classes and learn from two of Australia's best!
Again, thanks for all those that booked our classes and workshops. We know you are going to love creating with these ladies!
Thanks also for your ongoing support of e2c in 2010. Your comments, sending in layouts to share and positive vibe on the blog keep us going. Let the creative mojo flow in 2011.

Gina- Dec sketch challenge
I had this lovely surprise in amongst my emails this morning,
From Gina,
This is a page of Phoenix after McHappy Day, she is totally a face painting junkie. LOL. I used the Echo Park, A Walk in the Park range, because it was so bright and colourful. I did lots of hand sewing on this one and used the Martha Stewart Butterfly punch for this big butterflies. Hope you like it.
PS I just wanted to say a big THANKS for your sketches and the great inspitation they provide me with. For a long time i just looked at them but am determined to have a go at them now because once i got off my bum and started i had a ball playing, and i am actually completing more pages now. For those few people that stop by for a look but don't actually give them a go, jump in and won't regret it.
TTFN Gina
Wow Gina, love all of this!! Love those beautiful butterflies, and arn't those Echo Park papers all sooo yummy??!!...... and such cute photos!!
And so glad you are inspired by my sketches!!! Thanks for joining in, i love to see your lovely work......i am so inspired by your pages, you are so clever!!
