A Huge Surprise!!

Well, I know it's been a while, but time just flies around Christmas and New Years!!

So I am on holidays, so when I was out the other day I picked up a copy of the current Scrapbooking Memories Vol11 No 12, and I started flicking through it when I got home, and I got to the first theme and there was my layout!! Now I had been accepted and sent it in to get photoed a couple of months ago, but last time it took over 6 months for them to contact me that it would be published, so I wasn't really worried that I hadn't heard anything from them, but I never thought they would publish it without letting me know!! Anyone I was thrilled anyway.

I have a bunch of things to share although I still need to take some photos! Guess I will have to try and post more reguarly!!

First this is my prize from winning the Casino Royale competition at Roll2Create. I am not sure about the Kaiser Binder if I will use it or not. I'm going to see if it works for me!

These cards were made for Scrap Therapys Dec Card Challenge. I had to make at least 3 cards for special people. So I made these 4 cards for Mikes Mum, sister and Aunties. I made each one unique which to me is special. I used die cuts, hand cutting, stamping and colouring.

This last one for now is my entry for Out of the Hats January Challenge.

1. Use Circles somewhere

2. Use stripped paper

3. Use a one word title.

I am loving how this one turned out. You can't see it in the photo but there is a lot of 3Díng going on!
