Pay it Forward - 2011

I saw this on Becky's blog and decided it was a great thing to join in with!

"I promise something handmade to the FIRST 5 people who leave a comment here.

However, to be eligible, you must repost this message, offering something handmade to 5 other people. The rules are that it must be handmade by you, and it must be sent to your 5 giftees sometime in 2011. Ready, set, GO!"

Now I know I don't have many followers, but I'm hoping five of you are up for the challenge!

January Collab Mega Kit from the Digiridoo Team!!

You seriously have to look at the gorgeous January collab the girls have made this month.  It's called About Time and is absolutely stunning!

It can be use free with any purchase of $5 or more in the store.  I have just downloaded it, so watch this space for some layouts!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Yes, it is 2011!!!
I hope you and your family have a fabulous 2011 with lots of love and laughter, family and friends, good health and good times!
To get the ball rolling, I am hosting the Inspiration Challenge at Digiridoo Scraps. You could journal about your hopes for the new year, or reflect on the year gone by...think about time, family, resolutions...I hope this inspires you in someway.

I have used the glorious Ancient Solitude by Feli Designs, who is our Featured Designer this month.

You will receive this fabulous participation prize by the lovely Helen (LittleWelshGirl Designs). Remember that all our participation prizes coordinate, so the more you do the bigger the kit you receive at the end of the month!



There will also be a poll posted in the last week of the month and the most voted LO will be published in our newsletter.

Happy New Year to you and yours, I hope your 2011 will be full of love and laughter, family and friends and may all your paths lead to happiness. Oh, and I hope there are lots of photo opportunities and pages scrapped!!!

I have used Boys in my Backyard by Stacy's Backdoor Designs, and also one of Stacy's Triple Threat Templates.
