One more prize to add to this months sponsors is this pack of goodies by me (Nadia)

I have put together this pack of handmade flowers/buttons/accents and other bits and pieces for one winner and since this is the first month we have opened these challenges to international residents this is the gift should there be a non Australian winner. But of course anyone can win this.

Lastly the lovely Becci Sundberg who is a sponsor for us this month and has kindly donated a prize pack worth $24.00, is having a sale of her handmade goodies over at her blog Lime Tree Creations on Friday at 8:00 pm. Be sure to check out the wonderful handmade stuff she makes.

Now, don't forget that the February Challenge #1 is still open till the end of the month together with the February Challenge #2 which went up this morning.

Thank you for your continued support of our challenge blog and we look forward to seeing more of your stunning creations. It is becoming harder and harder for the Design Team to choose the winners each month! Keep it up!

FEBRUARY GUEST DESIGNER

Hi everyone, hope you are all well. Hope you are coping with the floods, fires, cyclone and heatwave. I think australia is in a bit of shock over what 2011 has brought to our country. I know i am.

Onto something a bit more lighthearted, our february guest designer is......

Mel Pizzinga

Hi Everyone - I am Mel, most know me as as Mad Mel as I am a little crazy, very daggy, and slightly plump too.

When my dreams of becoming a supermodel, singer or actor were squashed due to my lack of good genes, talent and rhythm, I decided to get married (10 yrs ago) and have kidlets instead... at least I made good ones of those. The first one was VERY cute so I had two more and they worked out cute too so I decided not to push my luck.

Four years ago my bestie dragged me, kicking and screaming to a scrapbook night at her local kinder. I loved it from that night and my bank account has never recovered. I also take far too many photos waiting for that perfect "scrapable" photo ... even changing he kids clothing colours to match that perfect themed paper!! Yep I am totally obsessed. I buy all the scrapbook supplies I can hide!!

Recently I have started selling my own line of embellishments and love the "homemade revolution" on at the moment - and love that girls in this industry are willing to share ideas they create too, as well as pieces of there lives. I have made so many friends through scrapbooking and I am TOTALLY addicted.

I am currently designing for Old Favourites Vintage Supplies and Lollipop Ladies which I love and I am SO honoured to have a guest position on "Show us your Stuff". Thanks Kerry.

Check out her blog here. http://zingaszoo.blogspot.com/

I have 'known' mel for a little while now and she always manages to make me laugh, and is a very generous person. So i am so thrilled to have her here with us. Here is what she came up with for the feb challenge.

and a close up of that gorgeous heart. Well done mel, its awesome.

Thankyou so much mel for sharing that with us.

How is everyone going with the challenges? Love what you are all coming up with so far.
