More lifting... and a new favourite

This week the girls on the Shop and Crop DT have been challenged to create two layouts each inspired by my style. I am amazed by their creations.

I was interested in how they would define my style, because I personally find it so difficult to do that. I believe that my style is all over the place, depending on where I'm finding my inspiration at the time. But, I guess that there are some ol' favourites that I resort to.

And by looking at what the girls have come up with, it would seem that they are handmade accents and little paper piecings, a love of vintage books and whimsy, multi small photos, distressing, office/ledger paper, handwritten journaling onto the background (usually patterned) paper. Yep, I would agree.

Don't you find it interesting when someone defines what is you?

Now, on to something totally different. First of all. WHERE HAVE I BEEN? How did I not know about this company? They have just released a new line "Hello Beautiful" and (at the danger of being labelled fickle, lol) I think I have a new favourite product. Mmmmm.

ETA: And, just now, Fancy Pants have announced two new lines. Drool. What's a girl to do with all these beautiful products? I could wallpaper. Seriously. One room Websters; one room Fancy Pants; Jamie's room Sassafrass Woodland Whimsy; kitchen BasicGrey Offbeat.... aaaah.

Hope you're all having a great day. I'm at my day job for the next two days and looking forward to the weekend already ;)

I know - how crazy is this.

I was surfing the net two nights ago - when I followed a link from an American scrapper than I 'know'. I came across that company and thought it must have been a 'new' company. Anyway - emailed them about poastage to here (after I filled my cart full of goodies...lol) and then decided to contact an Aussie company who are meant to have stocked their products in the past.

The owner of the store is yet to get back to me with if they are going to stock it, but the US company are happy to give you a quote on postage before you pay for your goodies.

Am I making any sense here at all? lol.

Anyway - now all of a sudden I see this name pooping up everywhere in the last two days. '

I can see that this company is going to be very popular here in oz soon. Thats my prediction anyway...lol.

Have a great day
xx

Congrats on the CK spot! Websters is very eye catching. Not easy to get here in Australia. I have noticed it heaps because of Iris Sparkups work with it.

Hi Kathie
Congrats on being scrapjacked :) - this was the inspiration I needed to enter that challenge! I LOVE your Mr Campy layouts also - they are just so fun and I love how you scrap yourself and your childhood -it is really refreshing.
I am glad you are enjoying the weather - spring is just so uplifting isn't it?
Anyway...off to go look at the Websters site....
