Week Eight SBO Contest

Its a close "race" over at the contest at SBO.  This week is all about Maori Design and we had to include weaving and /or koru in our layouts.

Here is my layout and I didn't use patterned paper!

I have used black, red and white cardstock and weaved them for the background.  I have also stamped a weave stamp on the black cardstock. The red petals on the flowers are from a Maori design ribbon and I have made the swirls to look like koru out of shell beads.  I have also used a koru stamp. I love how it has come out! Now I wonder what the mystery product for week nine is...........

Southern Girls challenge

Here is my layout from the new Southern Girls challenge blog - the theme is anything goes

September PRIMA Build a page

Now when I saw the new Paisley Road collection I thought I would not buy it as it just wasn't me. When I recieved a voucher from Scrappin' Patch for participating in all the challenges in the Stars competition I decided to get the papers and some flowers and this is what I created this morning for PRIMA'S BAP for the month after the courier THREW my box of goodies at my door.

Have also just found out I came first equal for week seven over at the SBO contest - yahoo! The points are really close and we should be receiving the mystery product soon for week nine.  I wonder what it will be..... I have also completed week 8 and am really pleased with the result AND it has no patterned paper...
