Hi everyone! This is a layout that I created, not for a challenge or from a sketch, purely because I love the photos and they needed to be scrapped! This is my niece Stefanie with Minnie at their first pony club muster at Tamborine Pony Club in 2010.

Hi everyone! This is a layout I have created using the sketch below for entry into Dusty Attic's October Sketch Challenge. The photos are of my niece Stefanie. I've kept the embellishing to a minimum as I wanted a simple yet girly layout.

Hi everyone! This is a card I have made for entry into Winter Wonderland's "Gold Christmas" challenge. I decided to put the Copics down for a change and do something different. So with some gold and cream cardstock and a few dies, this is what I came up with. :-) The gold sparkle cardstock is not part of the card, it was only used as a backdrop for the photos.

Hi everyone! Well I had a nice little surprise yesterday. I found out that I had won second place in a challenge at Stampers and Scrapbookers Wonderland. The challenge was to make a card for spring and you must use at least three products bought from their store. In this case it was the purple cardstock, flowers and the little purple beads on the girl's top.

Hi everyone! Here is my entry into Scrapping Outback's September Challenge - "White With a Twist". This challenge involves creating a layout using the colours in the picture below.

It also depends on what device you are viewing on, e.g. this picture appears different on my laptop v iPad.
