Cant believe its the end of November!!!

Did I make it in time? yes and with a couple of days to spare..... Its that time again, time to share my Purple Pumpkin challenge. This month I decided to do a boy layout and to show off my not so baby boy anymore, as it was Tristan's Birthday this month and what does every 10 year old want to do..... go, go carting of course.

So since we are getting close in the count down to Christmas, I thought it would be great to share some Christmas cards thoughout the lead up to the big day. This card I have decided will be the one going to family and friends this year because I loooooooooveeeee the stamp and it wouldnt be my Christmas card without Sawyer's Place washi !!!!

Introducing Sawyer's Place newest addition......

With Christmas fast approaching ( less than 1 month away), I have been finding less time to create, trying to do all the pre Christmas prep in a timely fashion as well as P&C duties coming thick and fast with the end of school term approaching. However the other day Sawyer's Place share some of there NEW exciting products and I knew I had to take a little time out and create with them. So I am proud to introduce you to Rourke's Rounds!!!!

And lets face it they really go hand in hand with Sawyer's Place washi tape, that perfect little "thing" to finish off any of your crafting projects.

The other day I had some very exciting news, and it has to do with Purple Pumpkin, as you know they do monthly sketches and I often run out of time each month to participate however I have been making a conscience effort to do so. So I am happy I did and as you say you have to be in it to win it and one of my layouts was chosen as a feature layout ;

And the winning layout which was chosen from Facebook;

Thankyou Purple Pumpkin for my voucher.

This also is a perfect time to share some Purple Pumpkin love around, they are having an end of year sale on the 30th November and they have a little competion happening so follow this link to the Purple Pumpkin blog and share the love!!!

 

Polly's Kits and Sawyers Place

So for something different for this post, I am a scrapper that loves to merge things together, this is one of those layouts, I have been subscribing to Polly's Scrap kits since I think about February this year and my thinking was why not get some new products every month and who doesn't like happy mail? and I thought if I ever had to go to a crop the kits where all done card stock and all the embellishments all I had to do was add photos.....

Now if you can see my shelf there are these beautiful kits and I haven't used them!!! well until now, if you can remember last month I went on a scrappy weekend away and these worked out so well..... but there was one thing that was missing, my washi!!!! but I will tell you a little trick rather than trying to figure out which Sawyer's Place washi to take, you need to go to BCF and grab a Shimano tackle tray, with the removable slots. They hold 20 washi tapes in a row and theres 4 rows so you don't have to decide what not to take.

NO - NOT- NOVEMBER !!!!!!!!!!

Can you believe its November already !!!!! That means Christmas is creeping up and that my big boy is turn 10!!!! I cant believe how 10 years has flown by.....

I have been suffering a bit of lack of mojo or maybe its motivation, but all I know is I haven't done alot of work but lucky for you I still have some layouts to share this might be the week to share some of the back log. So I will share another layout using Kaisercraft Butterfly Kisses, its amazing how with just a die and a 6x6 paper pad you can create a beautiful background.
