i have to be careful here....

that i dont miss anyone out! I have been inundated with emails with pages!!! Totally awesome to see so many girls inspired by Sue's vintage challenge. Well done Sue!






The first email i got was from Karen D who has slipped in a late entry for the scraplift challenge we had earlier. She can't remember where she saw it or who the original author was (the kid looks familiar to me though...) but here it is -





and here is Karen's version-








I love how she has rotated the whole thing. That little line of stitching there along the bottom, the 'meredith' inspired heart, and the vine. Just lovely. And i know they are special photos for a total rev head lover!





Next up was Maryanne who sent in another vintage page - boy this girl has totally got the look going and does it sooooooooooooooo well. This page is very cute - and I really like how you did the journalling. It sounds fantastic.



next up we had Karen's email with a another vintage page. This is a photo of her mum on her first day of school! What was she carrying Karen? This is great - i love all the extra bits - the dymo, lace, hydrangea and pins. The tears in the ledger paper ..........all lovely. It has a very 'amanda' feel to it so i feel quite honoured Karen (even if you didn't mean to!)













finally we had an email from Lisa! This is another page from her Mum's album that Lisa is working on so it is in those same tones. The album must look amazing!








I know in your email you said that you were struggling with the 'white space' on this one but i think it is absolutely perfect. I did actually say 'wow' when i opened your email. I really do think this page is fanstastic Lisa...........you dont need to add anything more! That metal baby sign looks like it was made just for your page - it sets it all off beautifuly.





Thanks everyone for participating. I know you will agree that part of having this blog is about sharing and inspiring each other...... we can't do that without all your wonderful works so dont be shy and keep them coming.



Also if you drop by dont forget to comment on the pages seen in here. EVERYONE loves getting comments on their work so please leave a little comment - you never know your words might make someones day :)
