Finally...My big secret....

Well, thank goodness this day has finally come. I have been bursting at the seams to tell you my news. So, no mucking around, i have been waiting too long to say this

I am a Designer, and the Design team co-ordinator for Manor House Creations......

You have no idea how happy I am about this (well, maybe you can tell) For those of you that follow me regularly, you will know how much I love MHC. I am honoured, and excited to be among some of the most talented designers in the business. I am excited, although a little nervous about having to fill Nerrida Mitchells shoes as the design team co-ordinator.(Nerrida is now more involved in the management side of MHC). For those of you who havnt heard about Manor House creations, they are a new, and rapidly growing Australian owned flower manufacturer. And their flowers are second to none. Do yourself a favour and go and have a look HERE at their wonderful flowers, and HERE at their blog, where you will find some wonderful inspiration, from the design team.

I was asked to create a layout, for my big DT announcement over at the blog this morning. I chose to do a 'masculine' type layout, using some gorgeous MHC flowers, and the newly released 'Saturdays' range from Little yellow bycicle ( how gorgeous are those papers)



Products used: Finesse, The tropics-islander, Prior rose-chocolate, Fairy floss-soft blue, Rose leaves medium.

The flowers are so easy to work with, and matched this collection perfectly. I really like this LO. The journalling reads
 ' Matthew, at 9 you were such  dreamer, you lived in a magical world full of dragons and wizards. Not a bad place to live really'. Matt is nearly 19 now, and studying Engineering at Uni :) . But Im sure, deep down, he still believes in wizards, and dragons.
Thanks so much for calling in, and allowing me to share my secret, and my excitement with you.
Have a fantastic weekend everyone  xx
