March Blog Winner Announcement

I apologize to everyone for the delay in posting the winner. My Dad was quite ill this past week. He is going to be okay but it was scary to see him like that. Thankfully, things will get better.

I enlisted DD to pick this month's winner. We spent quite some time writing the names on strips of paper and cutting them out. We had a total of 95 ballots this month. You girls are awesome and I am really enjoying having you take part in my challenges.




DD sat down and mixed up the ballots:

She reached into the tin and pulled out the winner!!

Is it you?

Congrats to ............................................................................. Jen Benoit!!

I will post the first challenge for April tomorrow!

Challenge #8 ~ Spring it On

I loved being able to feel the sun on my face this week and walk around with a light sweater. I was able to wear my running shoes outside and not have to lug on my boots and my heavy coat. I am more than ready for spring now.

I had just received my kit from Scrapdango and when I opened it I immediately thought how the colors reminded me of Spring. Here is the first layout I did. It features Paige. This photo was taken a couples summers ago. I was on the phone for a while with a friend long distance. I was sitting on the patio. I could hear the girls laughing and giggling in the house. I glanced up when they came out of the house. Paige was all dressed up in a princess gown and a pretty flower necklace. She had let her sisters put on some make-up and nail polish on her. She was so thrilled and happy. I grabbed my camera and took this great shot of her.

Challenge #8:

I would like to see some spring colors on your next card or layout. Show me the some pretty greens, pinks, purples and/or yellows. It about time we broke out those lovely colors that remind us of green grass and pretty flowers.

Email your creation at thynner5@yahoo.ca to earn a ballot for this month's awesome prize. A complete kit from Scrapshotz featuring the brand new Chatterbox release. It is such a pretty and fantastic prize to win!

Due Date: March 31st

BLOG PRIZE: I have been lucky to get my hands on the new Chatterbox papers and Artsylicious embellies. Thanks to Sandy at Scrapshotz for all her help with this month's blog prize. She was also responsible for last month's Basic Grey Papers. She tracked down the Paper pack for me when they were sold out and I couldn't find any. She is an awesome person and her kit club is fantastic.

Again... another $50.00 value. Take a look at some of the peeks from the Chatterbox website.

Happy Scrapping!
