February Guest DT Inspiration!

Have you checked out our February challenge yet?

We asked one of our past winners to guest design for us this month...

Hi, my name is Fiona Johnstone, I live in Sydney with my two children Zane 10 and Lily 9 and one slightly crazy dog named Harry. I have been scrapbooking since Zane was born, so just over 10 years. My style has been described as modern, I love to use patterned papers but also mix it up with mixed media based layouts. It’s all about enjoying being creative for me. I am currently on the Design Team for All About Scrapbooks and I also teach a class once a month at their crop days.  

You can see more of my work at 

my blog: http://fionajohnstone.blogspot.com.au/

Here is my GDT entry for the Feb quote challenge.  I've used 2 beetles from Rainbow Splendour, a small butterfly from Corbetts Creations and a Flair from Flutterby Flair. 

Thank you :)

Here are 4 layouts of recent work to show you a mix of my style.  

How cool! Thanks Fiona! I love learning more about out challenge participants! :)

You are welcome to use the quote as your title, or in your journalling, just ensure that we can see it somewhere on your creation, and of course, make sure you include at least one handmade embellishment.

Our sponsor this month is Burdy's Embellies!

Burdy's Embellies is owned by me, the SUYS boss lady, Vicki Burdon.

I have been making handmade embellishments for my own scrapbooking layouts for many years, and was encouraged to sell them to the public, by some good friends. Since then, i have made many different items, and try to fit in a sale on my blog and fb page every couple of months. I love playing around and creating new embellishments, and i even turn some of them into beautiful hair accessories, which i also sell!

 I am due for a sale this month, so keep an eye out. Details will be coming soon.

(If you are after any items between sales, though, please message me, as i am always happy to make to order! :) )
