I have been meaning to blog about my 'win' for weeks, and just have not
found the time to do so. Today, I was going through my list (I live
from lists) of things to do, and ticked this one off as 'done/completed'
- phew! Sorry Martin and Scott (proprietors of Vintage Image Craft), but I know you are such wonderful people, you will forgive me... LOL
In December, I won first prize for my Christmas Cat, Book-Card, in the Vintage Image Craft challenge!!! I had a wonderful time in creating this card, which was inspired by the beautiful papers at Meg's Garden. I also completed a tutorial for this book-card, which can be found "here".You can view my entry "here". As a first prize winner, I received the most amazing book called "Scraps" by Elsebeth Gynther and Christine Clemmensen . It really is an amazing book, with so much inspiration. I spent way too much time 'reading' and not blogging this post!
This month, Vintage Image Craft has another challenge running with some great prizes up for grabs. You can read about their current challenge "here". All the information can be found on this link, and also is available (along with free vintage images) on their facebook page - "here". Worth entering, very much worth checking out the entries for some inspiration and of course, great prizes to be won!
I am so hoping that some of my blogging friends will enter.
