But first, here's a reminder of this month's fabulous sketch challenge, designed by Chloe for you...

And a reminder that this month we have a BUMPER prize pool for our winner too! This month, our DT girls are playing Secret Santa for our winner and they have a huge haul of goodies on offer! (Stay tuned to the Facebook page for some sneak peeks!)

Now, if you would like to be in with a chance of scooping our huge December prize pool, then you need to get your entry linked up on the blog no later than midnight, 31st December. (Because when the clock strikes 12, you are out of time!)

As this will be the last time we are sharing layouts from our current team, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all our 2015 design team members for their time, effort and commitment. We simply couldn't do it without you!

Stay tuned - our new team will be revealed shortly.

Happy scrapping! :)

November Winners!

Hi everyone! I hope all the school mums are breathing a collective sigh of relief, as school's out for another year here in Australia. (And now the countdown to Christmas is on!)

Anyway, it's time to announce the winner of our November challenge, which was our travel themed challenge designed by DT member Sandra. We had some AWESOME entries, and you guys really made our decision hard!

Our first winner is this gorgeous layout...

belonging to...Fiona Johnstone!

Congrats Fiona, your layout is beautiful, and so poignant in light of the tragic events in Paris last month. Fiona has won her own custom artwork from Leanne at Art by Leanne Jago

(*Please note that this is a sample of Leanne's work for illustrative purposes only*)

Fiona - please send us an email via the contact tab above and we will put you in touch with Leanne to discuss the details of your prize. We would also like to invite you to do a guest DT spot for us in February.

You can read more about Fiona's layout on her blog HERE

Our second winner is from one of our international entrants...

belonging to...myriamMG (France)

Congrats Myriam, your layout is fabulous! Unfortunately as per our rules, we are unable to offer prizes to our international entrants, but we would love to invite you to guest DT for us in February also. If you would like to contact us via the tab above, we will provide you all the details. 

You can read more about Myriam's layout on her blog HERE

Thank you to all our participants who played along with us in November, we hope you are all playing along with this month's sketch challenge from Chloe as there is a BIG bounty of prizes on offer for our winner courtesy of our DT girls. (Stay tuned to the Facebook page for more details!)

Til next time, happy scrapping! 

December Challenge!!

WOW! This year has totally flown by! We are in December already! 

We know how busy life can get at this time of the year, so Chloe has designed this nice easy sketch challenge for you all! Use the sketch to inspire your page, and don't forget to add your handmade embellishments! :)

And, we have a special surprise up our sleeve for this month's sponsor...

That's right! This month the sponsor is US!!! And in keeping with the spirit of Christmas, our team is playing "Secret Santa" for this month's winner. Our lucky winner will receive a variety of happy, scrappy, surprise gifts. Doesn't that sound fun?! (Maybe if you are all VERY good, we might post a few sneaks during the month to tempt you.)

Now here is some inspiration from our team to get your creative juices flowing...
