I loved hearing every ones response to SMASH, and to know that I have inspired a few more people to give it a go is fantastic. It was a conscious decision when I started this album to use all photos in a 4x4 format. It is a "holiday by instagram" kind of thing. To say that I am not happy with this decision...

How can we not have a LOVE inspired theme for our Mid Month challenge over at True XOXO in the month of February. As it is late, we have gone with a Leftover Valentine idea.
The criteria was simple for this one. Red, Pink, Heats, Fluff, All things mushy really.
It didn't take me long to piece this one together using just about everything on the inspiration list.
And I have added some WOW chipboard in there, just because I can. I have coloured both the title and circle flourish with pencils then used dimensional magic to give it the glossy look and top it off.
Head over and check out the rest of the love on the blog. Be inspired by any of the layouts from the DT, upload them to the blog and be in the running to join our awesome group as a guest designer. Its worth it. I XOXO these girls!!

Scenario: A week prior to the big game, The Super Bowl. One DT member is mad Giants, another mad Ravens. The trash talk begins. A scrap bet is made based on the outcome of the game. We choose sides.... Its a 50 50 chance of winning. Based on their record I choose Giants.
The Bet: Each DT member was asked to submit an item or technique. These would be compiled into a list and the losers were to complete a page with all of these elements on it.
As you can imagine the list was going to be a bit of a mess and it was always going to be a challenge, but one I was happy to tackle as part of the losing team.... A bet is a bet after all.
The list:
Stencil
Lace
Purple
Red & Gold
Purple Washi Tape
Lobster/Embossed Stamping (The lobster was a joke but extra point were awarded if you could make it work)
Mist
Distressing
Stitching
Index Cards
The layout: And in true XOXO style, there was a good mix of style. Here is mine (less the embossed stamping as I didn't have anything to do it with, and the lobster? No where to be found, although I did look for a little sticker to put on there somewhere).

After a wet Saturday a couple of weeks ago, I started to play around with some the the gorgeous ideas that I have been pinning on Pinterest. Now that I am on two Design Teams and there are commitments and deadlines I needed a way to visually track them every time I sat down at my scrap desk. I use a diary on...
This the last of my three February New Release posts for WOW. I loved this piece of chipboard from the moment I saw it, but again wasn't sure what to do with it, without digging out my old school photos from when I was a child. Next you know these new passport photos managed to find their way to my scrap desk and...
Back again with another of the WOW February New Releases. This one is aimed at sports, whether it be at school or extra curricula, there are usually some form of trophy involved. Our local Senior AFL team, won the premiership in 2011, and I have had this photo floating around for about 12 months now, not knowing what to do with it.... Until the...
There are some beautiful products available over at WOW this month with the new releases. I have seen first hand the amount of "First Day of School" photos posted on facebook and know that all scrappers will want to get their hands on these goodies. However, as I don't have children, I am able to show you other uses for the wonderful School...
SMASH BOOK Heard of it? Seen it? If you haven't yet, be prepared to start. Smash Books and Smashing are becoming more and more popular in Australia at the moment (along with Project Life). I love the idea of Smash and everything it encompasses. I have always been one of those people that collects everything from everywhere. Business cards from places, receipts and serviettes from...
