I cannot believe the first month of 2013 has already vanished into thin air - well, it seems that way to me! The February sketch for The Scrapbook Store is now up. Come join in for a chance to win a $40 voucher to spend in store, with free postage. How generous is that? Entries are entered into the Gallery, which can be found 'HERE' - I was so thrilled to see some friends join in last month and would love to see you back 'again' - hint hint!
Here is my interpretation of the sketch for February. The photograph is of my family - I always laugh at the faces us children are pulling. I look like a stunned mullet, my brother Paul's smile reminds me of Garfield, and Tony looks as if he has spied some encroaching bug and is closely examining it.
Yes, I had a good imagination then, but still have it LOL
The paper collection I used is 'Sweet Nothings', by Kaisercraft - and added some extra texture using the 6X6 Mini Bricks, and Texture Paste.
Some Prima flowers, teamed with a pretty Blue Seam Binding bow. Lots of layers, and a pleated border, using the Martha Stewart Doily Lace. I just simply snipped with the scissors and pleated slightly.
...and to finish, added in Pearl Flourishes by Kaisercraft.
The Scrapbook Store has a huge lot of new stock in, including Kaisercraft - Basecoat (selling fast), 75 Cents, Suga Pop, Flora Delight & New Texture Stamps.
Silhouette, Canvas Corp - Tissue Sheets in 3 colours, Flourishes - New Stamps, My Favorite Things - New Dies to name a few - and more arriving daily...
PLUS, Suzanne has added a lot of stock into the 'On Sale' section, with up to 60% off, and at the moment you can grab a bargain with a massive selection of Thickers for $3.50 each!
Have a great day/evening..

Sandie this is gorgeous and the children's faces are priceless. The layout is a great keepsake of how we used to have to pose for photos.
The layers are lovely and the seam binding looks great as does the border punch.
