JANUARY SPONSORS

Hi. Who wants to see who is sponsoring us for january???

First up again we have pretty petals. They have been extra generous to us this month and have supplied the design team with some flowers. So i cant wait to see how the team comes up with different ways to use these.

And their prize for this month will be a pack of all the different flowers that the design team has used. You have got to love that. But thats not all, everybody that participates in a challenge this month will also be eligable for 10% off an order from them!!!











Our next sponsor for this month is wicked princesses. Krissy is giving away a $15 voucher to a lucky winner this month. It would be easily spent over there with her handmade flowers, buttons and critter pins (which i am loving using at the moment). Or you may decide to pick one of her kits that have her gorgeous handmade products in there.



This is one of the january kits and is the kit krissy has used as her sample for this months challenge, so keep your eyes peeled for that tomorrow.



Our next sponsor is bridges new kit venture the polka dot place. She has some put together some gorgeous kits that have some special handmade goodies in them. There are only a couple left over there at the moment and they have $10 off so you better be quick!!
We will hear back from bridge on the 15th when she releases her january kits. This month she is releasing a budget kit as well.
Bridge is sponsoring a $15 voucher to one lucky winner this month.



And because i have such a special design team, nadia has made up a bundle of flowers to give away this month. Aren't they just gorgeous?? So to win these gorgeous flowers you just have to be the first person to complete both of the challenges this month. Easy peasy hey??



Have a great new year everyone and try to behave yourselves. LOL.
I will be back tomorrow to put up the first challenge. Dont forget you still have a few hours to upload your challenges for december.

December Guest Designer

Hi everyone. Each month we will introduce a guest designer, to get to know us all a bit better and get just a bit more inspiration!! This month i will introduce to you all......

Vicki Sturgiss


Hi, my name is Vicki and I live in the country with my muse, Ashli (9). I started out just wanting to create a baby album for my daughter, and 9 years on and many albums later, the scrapping bug has still got me. For me scrapbooking is very personal. I lost my grandmother to alzheimers a couple of years ago, and it became very important to me, that our story was recorded for my little girl.

I love that my style over the years continually evolves, and that I am continually learning and meeting wonderful women that share my love for this craft. I personally have an insane love of handcrafted flowers, so many gorgeous things out there that are being made by talented women. After making a few flowers for my own layouts, and loving the result, I started Pretty Petals so that I could share my flowers with other crafty ladies.

Thanks vicki. Vicki has been a great help to me with sponsorship and ideas and has something special lined up for next month. So stay tuned. If you want to read more about vicki go and check out her blog

Here is vicki's sample of this months 1st challenge.



Well im hoping to see some layouts from the 1st challenge added to mr linky in the last post. Would love your support!!
