Welcome to the month of July, I do hope this is a great month for everybody and that you stay warm and well.

Deb's Biography:
Hi ya, I am Deb Mitchell & I live in Rockhampton central Qld & have 4 sons- 3 of those being adults. The youngest, Brody, is 5yrs old.

I started scrapbooking back in Jan 2006 after seeing my Mum's work on a holiday in Toowoomba. The passion for it grew & I was constantly trying new ideas to find a style that both I liked & suited me & hence my passion for Collage came into being. As the years have slipped by, I also found the passion to work with brights & things that are a little different to the norm.

6 months ago, the gorgeous Vic Bailey introduced me to Magnolia stamps & wow, that passion hit me like a brick & it also brought about my love of cards & stamps- thanks Vic lol! I have found so much inspiration & discovered many new friends through this passion as well as bringing me to where I am today. Not to mention, this passion keeps me broke lol!!!

I have been published in Scrapbooking memories a number of times as well as an American Online mag. I have been on Design Teams but these days, I prefer to design for myself.

I am the owner of Deb's Creations & Online Shop-:

Thanks Deb for sharing with us a little about yourself and your creations.

Thanks for dropping by and for your support everyone, I love to showcase these wonderful ladies and I hope it lets you know a little more about the people that touch my life.

Ive been featured in Scrapbooking Memories:)

Good Evening everyone

Wow! What a busy little whirlwind I have been of recent, but everyday sets new challenges, all I can do is take one day at a time.

Just thought I would share with you my latest excitement of being published with a feature article in the Vol 12 No. 6 Scrapbooking Memories Magazine. The feature article was to create a 6" x 6" layout or OTP in regards to inking and stamping. A massive honour from them to be featured and you can see more on page 73 of this issue to see my creation and details.

Below is a couple of pics of the design and instructions. Thanks for all your support over the last week, looking forward to moving onwards and upwards.

Today's a new day!



Good Morning

Well as some of you are aware, my life is in a flat spin at the moment, but I am writing this post today, to bring myself out of the rut and get on with my life!

I woke up this morning after finally getting a full nights sleep with a positive attitude that I am going to make my life what I make it! No use sitting here wondering about what could have been or stressing myself out about the fact that I cant changed what has happened, because after all there are wonderful aspects in my life that truly make me happy already, even if these things stroll by to disrupt it!

So today I am thankful of the fact I have a beautiful family that loves me for who I am and know who I really am as a human being, your support to me is unbelievable I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

To my resilient children, who never cease to amaze me, you are mummies world and I wouldn't have it any other way, so thankful that you were sent to me as your teacher and provider, life may seem hectic at the moment, but this will certainly make us stronger as a family. I love and respect you and lets make life a beautiful one, as long as we have each other.

To my gorgeous friends whom have been my backbone the last 6 months, oh my what more can I say your all so special to me and i love you all and very appreciated of your support, love and understanding.

So I hope this little posts helps you in some way. Be thankful for what you have, because life is too short to be spending it worrying about the what ifs and could have's. A life lived in fear is a life half lived!!!

Thanks for listening and understanding:)

June Sketch Challenge

Welcome to the month of June.

Please find below the details for the June 2010 Sketch Challenge. Sorry I haven't any prize pack and display picture up as yet, but I will endeavour to have available by the end of the week.

The June Sketch Design



How you interpret the sketch is initially up to you. You can choose what ever Papers, Embellishments and Theme you like. All I ask is that you follow the sketch and keep in mind the original outlay of it all.

You may choose to flip it, turn it on its side or even make it a double. The list of possibilities are endless, so go forth and create.

Submission & Cut off time:

Please submit your entries onto the new ning site for Scrap.n.Art in the album provided (February Sketch Challenge) or to my email address scrap.n.art@hotmail.com by the 29th of June 2010, this will allow ample time for the judging to take place in the slide show area and the winner will be announced on the 30th of June 2010.

Keep up the great work ladies and I look forward to seeing your sketch creations.

Kind regards Angie xox

Centre Stage Artist - Tiff Sawyer

Good Evening:)

Welcome to the month of June, I do hope this is a great month for everybody.

Every month I spotlight an Artist from either Australia or Oversea's, this month I would love to share with you a very lovely lady by the name of Tiff Sawyer.

Please find below Tiff's photo, biography and a layout for preview.

Tiff Sawyer:


Tiff's Layout called "Angelic"


Biography:

Hi, I'm Tiff Sawyer, wife to my wonderful husband Adrian & mum of 2 beautiful children Billy & Alana.

I've been interested in scrapbooking for about 5 years now and seriously scrapping since September 2008. I always had decorated diaries and memorabilia books as a kid, so it was destined to be that I fall in love with this craft. I have to do some scrapbooking each day, whether it be gathering photos, planning and/or doing layouts or I feel like I'm missing out on something. I love documenting life's little moments (both good and bad), which would in time, otherwise be forgotten. I often imagine members of my family looking at these pages in years to come and these images make me so happy.

I have made so many fabulous friends through this wonderful craft who I chat with regularly online and some of whom I've had the pleasure of meeting IRL. Scrapbooking and blog hopping has now become such a huge part of my life that I couldn't imagine life without them. I could happily live without a mobile phone, but not without my blog and computer LOL.

I hope you may draw some inspiration from my work and go on to create something amazing. You can visit my blog Merry Memoirs Of Me at www.scraplee.blogspot.com.

Thanks Tiff for sharing with us a little about yourself.

Thanks for dropping by and for your support everyone, I love to showcase these wonderful ladies and I hope it lets you know a little more about the people that touch my life.
