So here is my project for this fortnight's challenge.

I have made my very first scrapbook page!!!
Because we are all using the same image Family Photo, i decided to make up a scrapbook page featuring my family.
This is me, my hubby and my wee boy (4 months at the time) on our Wedding day 15/10/2011.

I have used K&Company Sparkly Sweet 12x12 Little Flowers Glitter Paper for the base, K&Company  Sparkly Sweet Scalloped Stripes Flat Paper for the backing for my photo.

I used the following to colour in the stamp
Pro-markers : Magenta, Cocktail Pink, Blossom, Antique Pink, Pastel Blue, Powder Blue, Blue Pearl, Pastel Green, Soft Green, Mint Green.
Copic : Y11

I have then used punched butterflies, buttons, letters and gems out of my stash to finish the page off
Copic

OMG!!!! OMG!!!!! OMG!!!!!

Omg!!!!!!!!!!!

Well what can i say, not a lot i don't think as still in shock!!!!!

I applied to become a design team member a couple of weeks ago for Jem's Designs and i received an email to say that i had been successful.

OMG!!!! ME!!!!! I coudn't believe it, i had to read the email twice, then the tears started. Hubby and munch came thru and gave me a big hug, hubby can't be any prouder then he is now.

Can't wait to start making samples with the lovely art work that Sue and Linda come up with. And working alongside some very talented ladies.
