i have been a bit quiet around the web - we have had some beautiful rain, and some not so beautiful hail storms that have affected our internet connection so much i could hardly upload anything. mails have been a nightmare - but it seems to be better as the earth starts drying around us. but i must say i really love the rain - our farm is covered in green and looks amazing!
a couple of weeks a go we had a challenge over at the scrapbook challenges website. it was a fun one and i joined in. the challenge was to take a layout from a featured member and scraplift it. i chose a simple single page layout and turned it into a double page layout - since this is my preferred size for scrapping. and i love how it turned out.for more info on the layout i scraplifted you can visit the scrapbook challenges website! I of course used my favourite things on the layout - old postage stamps, stamping, embossing, inking and patterned papers. i also threw in a new favourite - washi tapes.

some beautiful clock works by teresa collins

patterned papers by kaisercraft, prima and teresa coillins - simply gorgeous!

and i have a new and renewed love for my cuttlebug and embossing!

hope you are having a creative week!
