Scrapbook Boutique January Challenge

Good Morning, hope you are gearing up for a fabulous Tuesday, as we are at Scrapbook boutique!

Today is the beginning of another Inspiration Challenge and another blog hop!

Take inspiration from the picture, making a card or project using 

'Purple, Green and White'

This will certainly get your creative juices going!

If you are following along with the blog hop you would have arrived from Narelle's blog- I bet you are inspired, if you get lost, you can always head to the SB blog and start from there!

We have a special contributor this month, our leader Evelyn has made way in her super busy schedule to join in the fun this month, make sure you leave her some fabulous comments, maybe she may join us again- fingers crossed!

The prize is the Penny Black Flower Gallery set

You just need to leave a comment on each of the DT gals blogs  and a final one on SB Blog,  the  random winner will be drawn from there!

The hop will be open for 1 week, closing midday Tuesday the 17th, the winner will be announced on the SB blog on Wednesday the 18th. 

 Unfortunately the blog hop prize (as is the inspiration challenge) only open to anyone with an Australian mailing address.

We also have for you, our regular monthly inspiration challenge!

Make a creation with 'Purple, Green and White' using the gorgeous  photo as inspiration, and  you could be the winner of the $30 gift voucher to Scrapbook Boutique
The Challenge will close on the 31st of January at 12midnight, the winner will be announced on the 1st of February

Hidey Ho fellow crafters, I hope your new year celebrations were fabulous and those new years resolutions are still being embraced- mine certainly are!!

Anyhoo, it's Friday yet again and this means it is time for another of AnnaBelle's fabulous challenges!

Saying it in....Black White and Silver

Before we get started with the creative stuff I wanted to share with you some Happy Happy news from AnnaBelle's.... we now have some new teamies- WOOHOO!!  Andrea sure know how to select talent, our newies are Therese from Lost in Paper and Jess from Playing with Paper, make sure you stop in and say Hi!!

Another new comer to the AnnaBelle's team is our Guest Belle for January, Cath Dean from My Creative Oasis, another wonderful addition to the team!!

Along with our challenge for this week the team is introducing some new sets and have some sneaky peaks of some other goodies that may be coming!

For my card I have used the new Garden Silhouettes set and the BBD7 (ooh I looooooove gingham!)

As you will see the sets are very versatile, the Garden Silhouettes has a massive 28 stamps included, and will have your every garden and foliage need covered!  All the sets will be revealled in full on Saturday the 14th of January, but travel around the teams blogs to give you a insight before then!!

I must say that I did struggle with adding in the Silver part of the challenge but did manage to squeeze it in with some silver sprinkles- saved by the sprinkle yet again!!!

Christmas 2011

I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas, with Santa bringing lots of joy and awesome crafty goodies to your stockings!!

I have some photos to share with you from our Christmas day.  

We had a magical day, got to spend time some time at home with just the 4 of us before heading down to the in-laws (2hours drive away) for a lunch at the local club- no preparations and no cleaning up, now that is Christmas!!!!

In the early afternoon we headed to my Mother in laws brother's house to meet up with another group of family.  what a great day to catch up with loved ones we had not seen for a while!

A healthy breakfast before stuffing our faces for the rest of the day!
