JUNE GROUP 1 GUEST DESIGNER!!

Please welcome our June Guest Designer Narelle Riley! A little about me..... " I’m Narelle, known to my friends as "Relsi", a “30 something” from Sunbury, Victoria. I have been scrapping for about 6 years now and my favourite subjects to scrap are my family (Husband Steve, son Tom aged 14 and daughter Meg aged 11), my niece and our pets! I was never going to take up scrap booking.... but I did....and I was never ever going to do those lumpy bumpy pages.... but I did.... and I was never going to meet up with anyone I met online... but I did... and I am so glad I did! The friendships I have made through this craft are one of the things I love most! I seem to do something scrap related everyday- even if I’m not actually creating I am browsing scrap magazines, reading blogs and planning the next layout. I scrap in 12x12 format and occasionally make a few cards. The only word I can think of to describe my style is “evolving”- I’m always trying new things. Most of my layouts tend to feature some “fussy cutting”- I find that very therapeutic! I work part time as the Parish Administrator in the local Anglican church, and am very blessed to have a job that I love! As a family we love camping and try to get away at least once a month." Here is Narelle's layout and some close up photos as well - just love your fussy cutting Narelle!! Such patience !

'Sophie's Corner' June Challenge

Hi kids, hope you had a great weekend!
Sorry, I have been a little bit late in posting this months challenge. So without further ado June's challenge is to use multiple photo's on your LO! This can be as many as you like, as long as you use more than one!


As you can see from my samples there are LOTS of possibilities!
Hope your up for the challenge, remember there are some great prizes up for grabs!
Happy scrapping!
Sophie xx
