Greetings!

Where are the months zooming too?

This edition is a little light on with layouts, all our Designers seem to have lost track of time and life has gotten in the way, with holidays and looming elections, farm life and family all taking priority. But make sure you check out the gallery for all the fantastic layouts that our gallery members have been busy creating.

Winter has finally arrived here in my neck of the woods, the fire has been burning all day every day, my lounge looks like a chinese laundry, because of all the glorious rainfall.  The paddocks are showing the tinges of greenery that we all love to see.

This sort of overcast weather is perfect for taking photos - as there is very little shadow cast and your subjects are not squinting into the sunlight.  So why not duck out and take a few family snaps whilst the kids are still home for the holidays. Giving you more photos to scrap once school goes back.


cheers,
Marg & the Designers

FOREVER ALWAYS - created by Rach

Rach says she loves this colour combination, so it wasn't at all a challenge to come up with her layout.  She uses Cosmos Cricket papers & flowers from past kits,  The bird cut out she recoloured with markers to suit her layout.







Now it is your turn to take on this challenge.  Don't forget to upload your layout into the challenge section of the gallery to go into the draw to win a gift voucher at the end of the month.
