Just a quick post

as we just got home and have to leave in a little bit to get the girls from school and then Megan has guides tonight so I have the grocery shopping to do while she is there. Been a busy day, in to see my Great Aunt and Elizabeth had her speech therapy session after kindergarten but enough of the boring bits lol

Firstly

Thirdly

YAY I made it through to Round 9!!! The new challenge isn't up yet but I will share it with you when I find out :)

Fourthly

This is what the judge for round 8, Teresa Collins, said about my entry

"I loved what she did. The project is very cute. I like the homemade feel that she did. The edges and stitching- darling!!!!" OH MY!!! This was just so cool to read! Encouragement that was needed :) My entry was very different to everyone else's, as I do lol, and it was with a huge PHEW that I read this and grateful to be continuing on the adventure!

Fifthly

My entry. The challenge was to use only black and white and it couldn't be a layout. So I made a mini album. It is about 3" x 3" and made of fabric. The fabric is from a pair of hand-me-down pants that were going to be tossed out. I cut it into strips, sewed the 'stack' of strips down the middle and turned it into a little book. Because it was b/w I decided to make it about the colour in my life and the different "colours" each of my family add to my life. I made it with the homey and handmade feel. The fabric is left cut uneven, the stitching is crooked and you know what, the girls love it :)

Side view

we can only submit 3 photos so I made my first montage with the inside photos of my mini album. Downloaded the free version of photoshop and my friend Allison, a huge support on this adventure, helped me put together the inside photos into one for submission.

and here are the inside pages :)

and the back :)

You can see all the projects made for this challenge here they are all amazing!!!

Think that is everything for now
