March Savvy Ad Challenge

Head over to www.scrapbooksavvy.com.au to check out this month's challenge

I have choosen a simple clean lined Ad for you to put your spin on this month.
The ad itself is A4 in size, but as you can see by my sample it can be adapted to suit any size.
Let us see what you can create, turn it on the side, use the small photos for embellishment instead or put 2 smaller photos where the large photo is.
I will leave it up to you, take what comes to mind and run with it!!

There is a $10.00 Savvy store voucher up for grabs, upload your layout to the appropriate gallery by midnight March 31st.

SCRaPDANGo February Kit reveal

The kits this month at www.scrapdango.net were both very elegant. The Sugar Kit was Webster's Pages - Inspiring and the Spice Kit Kaiser Craft - Reminiscing.
The latter, I had the opportunity to work with and loved every moment of it.
Not surprising, both kits were sold out very quickly.

If you are ever in the market for a Kit Club, you should check SCRaPDANGo kits out, they are both amazing every month!

Time flies!!

I am not really sure where February went, but I have lots to share with you.
I have been so busy the last few weeks scrapping my little heart out and thoroughly enjoying it. Just a shame working gets in the way.

We have just completed our fourth challenge for the Survivor contest over at www.hdscrapbooking.com.au and we are anxiously awaiting the next eviction from Crop-a-dile Island. It is never a nice time.
