Congrats to Sonja

what an amazing ride Project Scrap-Away has been! Well done to Sonja for winning, congrats also to Rachel for doing a marvellous job and to both for making it to the end as well! Well done to the Scrap-n-Crop team for the wonderful competition and the amazing inspiration each week and a big thank you for allowing me to be a part of the journey. Also thanks to the judges who were so amazing and gracious in their comments and I just have to note down, on my blog what they had to say.

From Carrie Postma Owner & Designer, Paper Trunk http://www.papertrunk.com/
"What I loved about Sharmaine's "Home" projects is that she chose to alter items to display throughout her home. The recycled frame was a fantastic idea and will make a darling statement in her home. She used various items in her projects that are inspiring and shows you can scrap out of the box!"

"I loved Sharmaine's Challenge 2...wow, so beautiful!"

From Becky Higgins Creating Keepsakes http://www.beckyhiggins.com/
"Super whimsical and fun. You can tell Sharmaine loves to play with product. I totally dig the home theme that she went for with her grand final entry, since that's one of my personal favorite subjects."

From Jenni Bowlin
"What a fun and funky style!! Made me happy just looking at everything. I liked the home theme- so much you could do with that. I loved the short story mini album!! I always say that in 50 years they can look at a photo and see that it was Christmas and they got a new bike, but it's this type of journaling (as in the mini book idea) that will be cherished and is the best gift you can give!"


"I find Sharmaine's work to be so freestyle and fun. I love her work and her use of techniques. She is a gifted artist. I enjoyed her projects very much. I loved her painted artwork- inspiring!!!!"
From Dominique Quintal Présidente Rose Moka Design
"Beautiful with is bright colours. Like a magic sunny day!"
Isn't that so amazing!!! Those words were written about my work!!! ME!?!!?!!! Yep I am pinching myself!!! Just amazing!!!
Now bringing myself down to Earth for a minute, lol. Today I found more of the icky blighters but in Lucy's hair this time and then to make it worse the poor tyke has a cold, snotty nose, cough the works AND has conjunctivitis! So we had a trip to the doctors today and now have some drops for her eyes and a script for some antibiotics if we need them while we are away. So now hoping that is the end of all the bugs and we can have a sickfree/licefree/coldfree time at Grandma's. I mean last year was the works so shouldn't this time be free of all that yucky stuff?? HUH?!! !!
The sun has been shining brightly the last few days so we have been outside lots, when we have been home(!!). Elizabeth and Lucy keep asking to do this


So we have lol. Wednesday night I started putting together the journal that I bought from Freckled Nest and yesterday I finally finished it AND I LOVE IT!!
Thank you Leigh-Ann!! I love the New Kits On The Block that she has on sale now, alas not buying just drooling!!!
I am over the moon that I can tell you some news... Suzie from Love Scrappin' has chosen lil' ol' me to be part of her Design team!! I am so so so happy and have already had some goodies sent to me to play with! Here is what I made with the yummy Pink Paislee papers and some Buzz and Bloom chipboard


Can't wait for the site to go live and see everything in action, but if you can't CAN'T wait you can go visit Suzie's blog and purchase that way. Lots of yummy things and at a great price!!
The haircut... Hmmm Short would be the first word that springs to mind.. SHORT!!! I just sit there and let the hairdresser have her way with me and I think she did this time lol I am hoping it, excuse the pun, grows on me cos I ain't feeling it right now lol
Yup... short!! Which this post isn't so I will leave you with another photo of apricot blossom, just for you Grandma :) 2 sleeps to go!!!
