Our November winner ...

 Thank you for your lovely blue entries last month sharing some outdoor fun.  I am putting our winner up a little early this month as I am heading off on vacation.  We will have just the one winner for November and I would also like to extend an invitation to guest with us for the first challenge of 2026 in February.


TRACEY CAMPBELL

Due to Christmas and our combined December/January challenge we would love to have you guest with us in February.

Our current challenge is open until the end of January so you have lots of time to play along with our either of our challenges or be adventurous and do them both.  Enter via our FACEBOOK page. We'd love to see what you can do with our colour combinations this time around.

Welcome to December 2025 / January 2026 ...

Our December 2025/January 2026 challenge is going to be a nice, easy one and the good news is you will have all of December and January to create something for us. Entries will remain open until the end of January while we give ourselves a little break over Christmas and the New Year - our first challenge of 2026 will commence in February.


You have choices! Either use the bright and cheerful colours from the Christmas moodboard (any or all) on a WHITE background to create a special Christmas layout OR select BLUE, YELLOW and SAND on a WHITE background to create a happy vacation layout (January is school vacation time in Australia).  Of course if you would like to do both layouts you are most welcome to do so!

and now some totally amazing inspiration from our talented 2025 team in no particular order!

Our November guest ...

 Please welcome our November guest designer, Marion Wilson with her amazing page based on our challenge this month.







Hi, I am Marion, a wife, a mother of two and a proud nonni to three - family is at the heart of everything I do. I still work fulltime as an accounts receivable officer but at night I am happiest in my craft room, where creativity helps me unwind. I have explored many crafts over the years -sewing, knitting, folk art and quilting - but scrapbooking is my true passion.

My scrapbooking style ranges from clean, patterned-paper layouts to bold mixed-media pieces. I love texture paste, cord, buttons and any interesting bits I can get my hands on. Photos that end up on my pages are chosen by what grabs me in the moment - grandchildren, my children, holiday snaps or simple weekend moments. Creative chaos at my desk leads to heartfelt pages that celebrate family and everyday life.

My Face book page where I display a lot of my pages and other crafts that I complete is Made by Mazzy.xox




Thank you so much for joining us this month, Marion. It has been a delight having you as our guest.


There is still  time to join in with our challenge for November using Blue with an outdoor fun theme - entries close midnight on the last day of the month. We'd love to see your entry.

Our October guest designer ...

 Please welcome our October guest designer,  April Reece with her beautiful double page layout based on our challenge this month.



Hi I'm April. Mum of 5 adult children, Nanny to 4 beautiful grandchildren, so I have endless pictures to scrapbook.

Been single and loving life for over 4 years! Recently trained as an AIN in aged care and currently working as a support worker. Just started a Water Colour class, discovering techniques which I plan to use in my scrapbooking and putting up original art works in my home. Have done a lot of travelling this year and been on many adventures which I am trying to keep up with travel albums!

I am a chronological scrapper so I have organised albums and systems in place to make sure I don’t double up events and milestones…and of course my other hobbies of collecting scrapping supplies and the never ending task of organising my supplies so I use them!






Thank you so much for joining in with us this month, April. It has been lovely having you as our guest.

There is still plenty of time to join in with our challenge for October using delightful PINK and adding butterflies to your page - entries close midnight on the last day of the month. We'd love to see your layout.
