Change of Plans and layout!

Hello Everyone, I wanted to pop in here today, to let you all know that there has been a change in plans about the Summer Card Class giveaway, here on my blog...without going into details and boring you all with my DUH! moment, lets just say that I read something the wrong way...LOL.

So getting straight to it, I am now giving away 3 spots in the Summer Card Class...thanks to Jennifer McGuire I have been able to put this in place...so with that being said, tonight was the official cut off for entering to win a spot in my giveaway, but I am now keeping the giveaway open for another couple of days...I will leave the comments open til Friday 17th June, 8am (Australian Time) and I will announce that day as to who the lucky winners will be that have won a spot in the class...remember I now I have 3 spots to giveaway...good luck everyone. (Make sure to click on the Summer Card Class Giveaway Link to enter or the link in my sidebar)

So now after all of that information, how about viewing a layout that I created of my sweet Nephew, Zane...I knew that I had photos sitting on my computer that I wanted to document onto a page, the fun times we all spent together at my Mum's at Christmas last year, so finally spent a couple of days on my holidays working on them. I created one of my gorgeous little Niece, Lily the other day and now creating this one of Zane, has helped me develop more of my Scrapbooking skills.

I used lots of Echo Park Patterned papers, twine, buttons, sewing, Tim Holtz Paper Clips, stickers and another one of Kerri Bradfords awesome die cuts...to view these go HERE.

Here is a close up of Kerri's die cut...

I punched lots of circles out of patterned paper and added a little bit of stamping with some Lawn Fawn stamps (Say Cheese Two), some buttons and punched stars, the strip with numbers on it I trimmed from a piece of Echo Park paper.

I was really happy with this layout and I think I am finally realising what my style is..that helps heaps in creating a layout for me..LOL.

So I know that this is quite a long post, but I couldn't leave here tonight without sharing some awesome bits and pieces that I have seen around the net lately.

      Joy I love this layout so much. So great to see a cardmaker doing a layout! Lol. I love the design and the papers are amazing. I love that black ruler with numbers. I really need to get that paper. What sheet was that in particular? I am doing my son's school album and that is why I ask! I am in awe over the diecut and the link that you provided is great. I have added her site to my favs because I use svg files for my Cricuit. I love your clean and simply line style Joy. No fru fru things cluttering your page, and the eye is drawn just to the pics, which is what it is suppose to be about right! Another amazing project. Thanks for sharing sweetie. I am sure Zane will love it!
