EBONY VAN DER STARRE

Hi,
My name is Ebony van der Starre and I am excited to be "back" on this awesome team!
I live in Warrnambool Victoria with my hubby Steve and our two kiddies, Will and Maya.
I have been scrapping now for over 9 years and i love how many friendships I have made while doing this craft!
If I had to describe my style it would have to be ecclectic grunge.I love bright colors, mist and paint and my latest addiction is circles!!!!!
I look forward to creating for Show Us your Stuff!

Try This Technique for October

This is so exciting ladies!
The Queen of Mixed Media, Christy Tomlinson, has kindly allowed us to feature one of her brilliant ideas in this month's TRY THIS challenge!

Your challenge is to create using yarn/wool!
Incorporate the technique on your entries for October and you will be in the running to win an awesome prize. 
Christy shows how it's done............
