White..with 1: May 2013

It is May, Mothers Day is soon, school holidays are in full swing or just finished for some, we are almost half way through the year, where does time go???

MAY WHITE WITH 1 GUEST DESIGNER...

We have a fabulous Guest Designer this month, here is a little about her and her example layout for this months challenge...

VERO...

My name is Véronique, but everyone calls me Véro

I am married to Denis and I have 2 boys, Alexandre 17 years old and Baptiste 8 years old, they are my best supporters.

I discovered scrapbooking in 2007, trying to make myself a card for mother’s day and ever since then I have been addicted.

I love all styles of scrapbooking especially shabby chic style but sadly I am not able to do this style and I now find that my style is more likely to orient to freestyle.

I also love sewing but time escapes me to do all what i would love to be doing.

I am a computing engineer but currently unemployed, which allows me to devote all my free time to my passion, I prefer layouts but also mini.

I like travel especially going to the sun during winter season

Here is my blog: http://123jecrappebyvero.over-blog.com/

CHARMS CREATIONS...

I started creating my Lovely Lollipops just for my own scrapbooking pages in about February/March of this year. I saw that Scrapbooking Top 50 had a Craft Market that gives the opportunity to sell your own handmade embellishments, so thought I would make a few packets up and see how it goes! It went really well, so I thought I would make a few more packs up and try my hand selling them on my own personal blog too - my first sale was in April. That went really well too! I've had a sale a month, plus have been a regular at the Craft Market at SBT50 too. I've also set up a Facebook Shop where I have them available as well. I have LOTS of giveaways so to keep updated on those & upcoming sales - make sure you LIKE my Charms Creations Facebook Page & check out my blog Charms Creations!

Each and every embellishment that I have created has been handcut {making them ALL totally unique} and can include a mixture of felt, fabric, lace, hessian, doiley & any other interesting piece of material I can find. They are finished off with a button and cross-stitches that are also as unique to the embellishment! I have started making different styles and sizes of Lovely Lollipops, Luscious Lollipops & Page Runners. Something NEW are my Suns and Clouds too! I have also dabbled in a bit of clay stamping too. So, if you are looking for something totally unique and one of a kind please pop on over and check them out!

I am soooo excited about sponsoring this month - and look forward to seeing what you all create! Have fun & Good Luck on winning the fab prizes up for grabs - including mine of course... heheh!

Charms Creations are offering a $15.00 Voucher.
