Hello Friends.  I've had a bit of slow start to the month.  Granted.  It's only 5 days in but I want to get back to my regular blogging.  I'm just finding it a little bit hard to find my mojo.  But having said that... I do have some scrapping to share.... Yay!

Over at Pretty Little Studio we are introducing a new series of challenges!  And it's so much FUN!  Melissa has been browsing Pintrest (as we all do! LOL!) and has found this fabulous image:

What you need to do now is find inspiration from it and "think" outside the box.  This week it is an Ad challenge.  Next week it might be a colour challenge or a dare challenge!  There are some fabulous prizes to win and if you love that retro/vintage element on your pages, you need to go and visit the shop.

Here's my sample and first piece of work shared over at Pretty Little Studio!!  Woo Hooo... (sorry, just a little bit excited!  hahaha)

{Hi}

I didn't have any kraft cardstock in my stash! Yikes!!!  So I had to improvise - dressmakers patterned paper it is!

products: Charm 8x8 patterned paper, Apothecary journaling cards - rough and tumble, Celebrate Paper Ribbons, kaisercraft: crochet doily, kaisercraft: ink (corn), My Mind's Eye: pearl brad, dressmakers patterned paper.

Also....

This fortnight I get to set the challenge over at The Boxx.  I know I've had a few very busy weeks and I'm guessing there's generally some craziness in most others homes' as well! LOL!  I could be wrong though!  (And I might be the only one who is fishing clothes out of the bottom of a suitcase, while the hubby just wants to go fishing....)

So this fortnight I am opting for "easy".  Gotta love easy right?!  Hopefully there's enough love out there and somebody will complete the challenge....pretty please!

My challenge is:  To create a LO with three or more photos, include journaling, and a piece of string/twine.
