We Have a Winner! And a layout share

Remember the little stamp I had up for giveaway last week? Well, Cindy F was the lucky winner!

Congrats, Cindy! Shoot me an email with your information to margie_visnick@yahoodotcom, and I will get it right out to you!

I also have a little bit of scrapping fun to share with you, a couple of pages made from my stash kit for the month:

The base for this next page was a starting point that I had already made up from my other stash supplies months ago, but I finished it off this month with a picture, and added embellishments from my kit:

Sorry about my reflection in the photo, it has one of those Maggie Holmes photo overlays on it, which is gorgeous in person, but hard to capture in a picture.

Back to Scrapping (No Spend Challenge 1/50)

And it feels so good! Shimelle's weekend filled with scrapbooking challenges and inspiration were just what I needed to jumpstart my mojo, and get me back on track. This page is number one of fifty of my challenge to myself to complete fifty scrapbook pages before I spend any thing else on new scrappy supplies. I had already completed a few, but, I will have to be honest, I spent some money on scrappy supplies while on vacation, so I am starting over. I based this page on Shimelle's Sketch to Scrapbook page challenge that was based on a "Flexible Template" from Noell Hyman of paperclipping.com . The idea of this Flexible Template is to have the photos lined up at the top of the page, and the journaling at the bottom, and the title and embellishment placement are flexible to give many different looks to a page. Here is my take on that:

A closer look at my embellishments:

Be back later with more! Thanks for looking and leaving a comment!

*ETA: I realized that this also fits the Counterfeit Kit Challenge #1: Geocaching (use something hidden), since the cute little kraft bag hides the journaling!
