How Dare You


The How Dare You site has had a face lift with a few new members and a couple of old members joining up again, so if you would like to be inspired just go and check out the site, it is well worth the look, and join in and you could win a great selection of goodies supplied by Helmar Australia.

I am off as you know to Canberra next Wednesday for Craft and Quilt, so if anyone is passing I really would love to meet you, so please come and say hi.

I have also been asked about my kits, I did not get the time this month, as so much was on, and also the loss of my Nan, but in the next couple of weeks I will have them ready to go, so if you would like to just keep checking back.

I also have a layout to share, this DT layout was for Scrapbook City, I used the Basic Grey "Infuse" Range of products again "LOVE THEM". I gave the layout a full transparency background and created gem swirls, I also created my own heart, because I did not have one at the time, and really wanted to have it backed onto a heart, so the next best thing was to make it. It is a photo of Mike and Me, and it is a very rare occasion that we actually get a photo of ourselves together, so I just love it. Not the best photo, so I have also done a side shot as well.

I have a couple more layouts to share from the Retreat, but I have to take photos before I can share, but I do have this layout called "Fun Time Ahead", I used K & Company papers for this layout of my little boy Chaise, so cute !!
Also I would just like to tell you about a website Called Scrap Therapy, the lovely Natalie own this fabulous site, so go and take a look and enjoy.
Well that is it until I get back from Canberra, take care and all the very best .
