HUGE NEWS

Hi Everybody.....

Do you remember my Scrappy Room?.....



Wanna see it now.....

...



...





...



...


...





Yep - it's gone......

WHY??????



...




....






....






DH and I have made the momentous decision to return to Scotland......

We have lived in Australia for nearly 12 years - and we LOVE it here.....

However, when we emigrated, we didn't factor in GRANDCHILDREN......

They are all in Scotland, and we miss them soooooooo much, it has become practically unbearable......

Every time I see a wee girl with blonde hair at the mall, my heart aches for Granny cuddles from my three beautiful wee Granddaughters.....

So, we have the house on the market, and as soon as it sells - we're gone......

Subsequently, I have resigned from the three Design Teams I am on at Scrappy Go Lucky, Stuck On U Sketches and Inspired Crafts.....

My Scrapping will be very sporadic while we ship our belongings back to Scotland, which takes about three months from leaving Australia - and we haven't shipped yet, not til the house is sold.....

So, keep your fingers crossed for me that the house sells quickly and we can get home to our Grandbabies.....

I'm not going to close my blog down, but my posts will be all over the place for a while, at least until we are settled back in Scotland.....

I
haven't forgotten the blog candy -

The winner of the Heartfelt Creations stamps and dies is......




CORRINA.....

Congrats Corrina - send me an e-mail at janestirling3(at)bigpond(dot)com and I will get them to you......

As for the rest of the candy I was going to put up between now and Christmas - well, I have decided not to bother as no one was commenting and didn't seem interested, so they have gone to a good home.....

Well, that's me for now.....

Hugs

Inspired Crafts & Winners

Welcome to my Friday post for this week everybody.....

The winners of last week's candy are at the bottom of the post, however, I would like to show a couple of projects I made recently for Inspired Crafts first....

The layout, Certified Scrapaholic, was made with cardstock only, no patterned paper, and the beautiful Martha Stewart Punch Around The Page "Double Arches" a deep edge punch, a Twiddleybitz clock and some computer generated journaling....

Here is the monthly kit I received from the store, plus a simple sketch for the layout....













Now to use the patterned papers!!

I created three cards.....


















These projects are currently on display at the store in Cannington, alongside the wonderful creations of my fellow DT members.....

Talking of the Design Team - if you are in Perth on Sunday 6th November, the shop is having a "Meet the Design Team" afternoon. From 12noon til 2.30pm the Design Team will be in the shop with some of our projects and design ideas, so come along and meet us all, and the beautiful owners Russell & Christine.....

There will also be the drawing of the ticket for the final space on the stretch Hummer for a wonderful day in the Swan Valley, not to be missed....

See you at Inspired Crafts, on Liege Street, Cannington, on Sunday afternoon.....

Now to the two winners of last weeks candy - the LaBlanche stamps and Zva Creative flourishes....

I did use Random.org, however, I have no idea how to get the damn thing onto my Blog!!!!

The winners were number 3 and number 1.....

Sharli and Tracey.....

If you girls can get your addresses to me at janestirling3atbigponddotcom I will get them into the mail for you.....

You have seven days to claim....

Now to this weeks candy....

Heartfelt Creations make the most beautiful rubber stamps and, in collaboration with Spellbinders, the die cuts to match the stamps - magic!!!

I have one set of two stamps and the die cut to give away - perfect leaves every time...

The leaf die also has the added bonus of a stunning corner die....



Leave a comment on this post, make sure you are a Follower of this blog, and I will choose the winner next Friday, which is also reveal day at Stuck On U Sketches....

See you next Friday....

Hugs
