Has it been that long????

Oh my goodness! I cant believe how long it has been since I blogged! I have good reasons though!!!
Firstly my computer finally died and so I had to order a new one. So I ordered a new one but it arrived damaged...ARGGHH! So after having to email photos through...(which is kinda hard when you havent got a computer!!) Dell agreed to send a replacement! Well after waiting another 2 weeks they rang and said that the factory where their hard drives are produced had flooded and they couldnt tell me when a replacement would arrive....ARGGHH!!! SO eventually the agreed just to replace the damaged screen! So after at  least a month I got my computer back! But you know what its like having to reload so many things onto it and I lost contacts etc!!! Anyway......

I hope you all had a fabulous christmas! I was spoilt rotten. My darling hubby bought me a new Canon 7D camera!!!!!! Such a surprise!!! Now to work out how to use it!!! Im definately going to be signing up for many photography classes this year!!!

In the midst of all of this I had some exciting news!!!
I was asked to design for Polly Scrap kits!!!!! These kits are seriously cool!!! Stay tuned for an awesome site opening soon with challenges and a great forum too!!!

Here are just some of the layouts I have created from the kits.....( I have added a few bits and pieces from my stash too!)

I didn't manage a lot of scrapping in December but of course I created for the awesome challenge at "Show us your Stuff". The criteria this month is to use red, white and blue!!! And of course a handmade embellie! I have used a gorgeous lollipop from Charms Creations!!!

The only other challenge I managed to attempt was the sketch at Anna's Craft Cupboard....

Well I'm off cos I have deadlines looming!!! I hope you and your family have a happy and safe new year!!!
