My layout for the NZ Dares…
Last Saturday was National Scrapbooking Day – now how cool is that a whole day has been set aside and recognises scrapbookers. Quite a few of my favourite websites had some really neat challenges that just set this challenge junkies heart racing :O)
I have an A4 sheet covered in challenges I plan to do at some stage.
But these ones were for the Scrapbook Essentials NSD.
I have a few more that need to be finished and then I will post them.
My Guest Designer pack at Scrapbook Essentials was awesome and I had a lot of fun playing with this kit.
I have a passion at the moment for stitching, kindyglitz, Stampin Up stamps and white backgrounds – the combination is just so workable for me and I have so much fun.
And I just want to share these happy faces with you – Ash is doing so well. She is enjoying polytech (she is doing a teachers aide course) and making new friends and starting to enjoy life again.

The photo of Ash & Brooke is just gorgeous. I am so glad that she is doing well and starting to enjoy life again. I’m positive it’s the start of real happiness for her.
