Some more scrappin bits....

Hi all

I have been  busy  this weekend - after a few  days  of  uninspired  mojo - It kicked in on Friday  ....Yay - a couple of challenges. This  is  for enchanted scrapbooking  - you had to  scrap an indulgence and mine is certainly  chocolate - so I made the page and then had to hunt for a  cool  vintage   chocolate pic  that  suited !  Yikes - not the the BEST  way to do it!!
And then I  had to  do a layout   about  celebrations and  with the colour   Gold  in it....hmmmmmm . Uninspired for  a while....and  then  I came up with this
Check the  gorgeous   ribbon flowers my  friend  Chris  makes.  She sells  them  too- so check out my  link to Born2create  on the  sidebar if you want  to check  them out!!

Theres nothing shabby about these girls!!!


This is my take on the Lets get shabby challenge this month - gingham and florals Oh yay!! I had this beautiful photo of all the girls at Rockhampton so wanted to do this layout - the black and white gingham is actually fabric so I frayed the edges and used some beautiful large lace and gathered it in a bling heart and added some lovely lace and beaded bling in the corner...there is also a lovely vintage hairclip on the left side.....Love these girls to pieces!!!
