Blog Challenge at SCRaPDANGo

Head over to www.scrapdango.net to check out Tara's new blog challenge this month.
Thought I would try and play along and hopefully help me to become a better blogger!!

The challenge is to finish one of the following sentences and explain why:

The one thing I did or learnt in High School that I wish I continued with was...........?
or
The one person I wish I stayed in contact with through the years is.......?

For me, the one thing I learnt at High School that I wish I continued would be speaking German.
I studied it for 4 years and did pretty well with it, but in the last year of school it was removed from the Curriculum. I can still pick up a few words, but not what I did back then.
Such a shame, I think having a second language is a great bonus!

Thanks for the challenge Tara!!

October Ad Challenge at Savvy

Well another month has began, it brings warmer weather and daylight savings, some of my favourie things.

This month's challenge I have chosen a more simple Ad, not that I ever keep my layout simple. LOL!!!
But it gives you all plenty of scope to work with, take it where it needs to go.
I can't wait to see everyone's interpretation of this Ad.
Remember you have all month to complete the challenge, upload to www.scrapbooksavvy.com.au gallery by Midnight October 31st to be eligible for a fabulous prize, the Kaisercraft Hanging Flourish Frame and Kaisercraft - Everblooming Birds of Paradise, Blooming and Marigold.

2CC October Kit

I remember seeing these papers in the leadup to Summer CHA08 and feel in love with them immediately. I guess the strange thing being we don't celebrate Halloween here, but I think the papers are flexible enough to be used for anything and that is what I did.

Introducing the awesome range from Pink Paislee "VINTAGE MOON"
The colours are fabulous and I love the diecut 12x12 sheets, they are fantastic shapes!!
The tags made by Kelly this month would definately be my favourite and the spiders made by Alicia just ROCK.

This is what I have done so far,
