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!

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.

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.
Here are the past few weeks of challenges and my takes on them, enjoy!!
Challenge #2
1 Journal Block
2 Colours only
LO must have a title, sub-title and journaling
Distressing
2 4 x 6 photos
Mini Challenge
You must create something Patriotic, this could be a LO, OTP etcIt doesn't have to just be on Australia, it could be somewhere you went on holiday, where you were born etcThe possibilities are endless!
Challenge #3
Your Challenge is to create an OTP - BUT you must think outside the square!I want to see some unusual/different creations by altering household items (clothing, kitchen etc)
I decided to decorate a fat splatterer preventer ( don't you love the technical term), it originally look like this,
The I attacked it and turned it into a wall plaque. Now it looks like this,
Mini Challenge
You must create a 'postcard' any size (could also be used at a later date on a LO) and must include at least 50 words of journaling!The journaling can be about anything you like!
Challenge #4
This would be one of the hardest pages I've had to do, but must admit, very therapeutic!
Criteria:- Layout must be about something that you have ‘survived’Example: Illness, Childbirth, Relationship Breakup, Financial Hardship, Visit from the Inlaws etc
Must include at least 50 words of journaling
Must include Survivor or Survival in the Title
I even managed to play along at their cybercrop last weekend and had a ball. I am getting really good with the Scavenger Hunt too.
I completed 2 challenges before the deadline and I am very happy with the results,
Ann's Challenge

3. Tag 6 other people that you know or don’t know to do the same thing and leave a comment on their blog or an e-mail letting them know you chose them.
Not so happy with the photo, really enhances my double chin!!
This was taken May 21st 2006 and it was Harry's 2nd birthday party at the place we were renting while building our home. This was one of many gifts, a basketball ring, that he still plays with now. It was a great family day.

A few things to share with you
For some-one who says she doesn't like doing OTP, I have certainly been busy doing things that resemble them. And dare I say, I have really enjoyed each one of them.
Thought I would share them with you.
I am currently a playing along in a contest called SURVIVOR over at Hybrid Designs Scrapbooking, pop over to http://www.hdscrapbooking.com.au/ to check things out.
My little creation was a part of Challenge one and taking inspiration from our team design that was chosen, which involved red, black and white plus rings.
GO KANZAN!!
I chose a candle to decorate with Kaisercraft Sakura Park collection, our teams were named after the papers.
My next project was for the Cybercrop at HDS last weekend, we were challenged to create an OTP with our scrappy goals for 2009.
I pulled out the Sakura Park papers again and Kaisercraft hanging frame and put this together.
And finally, my masterpiece (no just kidding, me masterpiece) my groovy plaque I put together for my DT work at Scrapbook Savvy http://www.scrapbooksavvy.com.au/
Using Crate Paper Prudence (you know how much I love it!!) and Kaisercraft hanging frames and a few other bits and pieces.
'Looking Back 2008' was designed to capture some of my little mans achievements for 2008

A very sad week @ 2 Croppin Cousinz
My 12 month DT position has drawn to a close, but it also marks the end of the 2CC Messageboard.
Amy and Kelly have made an extremely difficult decision to close the board and will no longer produce their awesome 12x12 kits.
But on a brighter note, they are heading to a blog format and will bring back their fabulous project kits and have begun to set-up an Etsy Store.
Head over to the new blog for all of the details http://www.2croppincousinz.typepad.com/
A big THANK YOU to Amy and Kelly and the awesome team I have spent the past 12 months working with, your frienship and encouragement mean so much.
Look out blog here we come!!
So for the final 12x12 kit, we had the oppportunity to play with a line that I had never heard of, but the papers were amazing.
Magenta's Pleasure collection was just that, a real pleasure!
More pinks and greens with a touch of brown to delight and some amazing patterns.
The kit can be purchased on the blog www.2croppincousinz.typepad.com

Scrap the boys February Challenge
has been issued and after an awesome response to the January challenge, let's see if you can top it.
As the weather gets hotter and the days are still long, do your boys enjoy spending time outside. We thought that this months challenge would revolve around the great outdoors...
We would like to see you create a layout with the theme of "THE GREAT OUTDOORS"
Let us see boys doing what they do outside...there is also a technique criteria to this months challenge I would like to see you use stamping on the layout somewhere ...
Email your pages to susan.longman@bigpond.com by Midnight February 28th to be in the running for some fabulous prizes
Here is my take on the challenge, my stamps are Rachelle Minett's Journal stamp and the title letters are stamped with Hero Art border stamp

Savvy's February Ad challenge
The entries for January were just amazing, so I hope you can all play along again.
Over the past week I have been surfin the net looking for some new Ad's for 2009.
I have found some really cool ones from all over the world.
This one really caught my eye, I think because of its simplicity and enormous potential.
Surprisingly I have gone for simple, but I love my page. I did try to add more to it, but came to the conclusion it just didn't need it.
So lets see what you can take from it, I can't wait!!
Upload your designs over at www.scrapbooksavvy.com.au by Midnight February 28th to be in the running for a $10 Savvy store voucher.
And here is my take on the Ad

SCRaPDANGo January Kit mid-month reveal
I was lucky enough to have the Sugar Kit arrive on my door step earlier this month and would have to tell you this is one of my absolute favourites.
And not surprising at all, both of the awesome kits this month are SOLD OUT!
I should mention the Spice Kit was just as divine, I would have been happy to receive either of them.
So here they are:
Spice Kit- My Mind's Eye Dreamy 2 Brilliant
And
Sugar Kit - Crate Paper Prudence
Here are a few pages I have done.
The double page "Meeting the Boss" (well sort of), was created from a project I was involved with at SCRaPDANGo last year.
A sturdy card cut-out of a our wonderful boss lady Carrie, was sent around the globe to visit forum members and see the sites. We entertained her for a few days, taking photos with her and then sent a postcard back from each destination.
I thought it would be a fun memory to scrap.
And here is my little man giving it everything he's got trying to whistle. Just love his spirit!
I will have more to reveal to you shortly, a fabulous Maya Road Album and another page, so stay tuned. I LOVE this kit!!
