Sorry I haven't been around much lately. Have had a lot on my plate and been very busy with life at the moment. I am attending my 1st Scrap Retreat this weekend with Krissy at Wicked Princess and am very excited, but still have so much sorting and packing to do. I want to bring everything with me and it's so difficult to figure out what is most important and what I REALLY need!!!
I am hoping to pop around sometime today and tonight to check out all my fav blogs and leave all you gorgeous girls some love.
New BITW Challenge
The new challenge is up at Bird is the Word, and the word/s are Life/Live/Living. All you have to do is use the word Life, Live or Living as part of your title or in your journaling on a LO, card or OTP and enter it for a chance to win a gorgeous kit from Tidbitz in Time. You can also choose to use the lovely Nadia's sketch for inspiration. Pop on over to Bird is the Word and check out the DT examples and be inspired by all their gorgeous creations.
Just a reminder to let you know there are still 13 days left to enter your Sun/Sunshine challenge LOs too, we have some beautiful entries in already.
Enjoy Life
Decided to make a card for this challenge using Nadia's sketch for inspiration. I used some gorgeous Websters pp's which I layered, distressed and inked. The artisan shape label is a Cuttlebug fancy labels embossing die and the doily stamp is from MME doily stamp set.
