The Number Challenge requirements were to use 1 flower, 2 pics, 3 buttons, 4 journaling spots.cards and 5 gems/rhinestones.

Until next time,

Six degrees of seperation

A group of friends and I decided to do a fun experiment, kinda like Chinese whispers but with scrapping.

So, Kim started and passed a layout onto Anne, Anne scrap-lifted the layout and then passed it on to Sandra, who did the same and passed it on to Liz, who passed her version over to Lisa, who emailed it to me and my version - below (some of you may have seen this layout last week cause I accidently posted it - then took it off a day or so later when I realised what I had done)





was emailed to Amanda. It will be very intereresting to see what everyone else came up with.

Looking forward to another one :)

2 challenges done

I managed to get 2 of the challenges from Challenge Heaven done yesterday between watching the football, cooking, blog hopping and looking after Abbey and my gorgeous little 18 month old nephew Nate.

I did the Ebony and Ivory challenge which was to use White, Pink, Green and butterly/s and brads/pearl.

I also did the colour challenge which was to use shades of brown and blue.

Unfortunately after trying several times blogger doesn't want to upload any pics today so you'll have to pop over the the gallery if you want to have a look at them.

Until next time,

Once upon a time....

there was an awesome site I used to go to that had the BEST challenges ever. Yesterday I discovered the site had been shut down!!!! I KNOW...IT PUT ME IN A SPIN!!!

It's the 1st of the month and normally I would be sitting down reading all the challenges getting excited about my scrapping for the month ahead.

Seeing as it no longer exists I thought I would do my own challenges along the same lines as the ones I loved so much.

I know there are a couple of your gals out there (particularly you Amanda) that will also miss these challenges so please play along with me!!
