 Today, I have a layout to show you that I did for the PENCILLINES design team.  This is an awesome sketch, provided by one of the very talented DT girls  Carina Lindholm.  I also followed the criteria for the GET PICKY challenge for October. We were asked to create a layout based on the word 'Celebrate'. This is the sketch

And here is my layout. A photo of my daughter at her 21st birthday party, which she celebrated just a few weeks ago. I just love these papers from The girls paperie, and have used them lots lately. I love the pretty grungy look they have ( Im sure theres a propper name for that look?) I had some fun messing the background paper up a little more with some splodges of tea, and some ink :).


And now, Id like to announce the winner of my first blog giveaway. Thanksyou so much for everyone who took the time to leave me a message. I wasnt quite sure how to go about drawing the winner, so i put everyones name in an icecream container, and got my 6 YO to draw the winner. And the winner is
