IMPORTANT - MISTAKE ON WINNERS THAT WERE ANNOUNCED TODAY!

Hi Everyone

I am SO sorry to do this but I have made a mistake on the winners that were announced today on the STB blog, I have announced April's winners as March's...

I can only apologise for this huge mistake on my part and to partly blame the sandman who was putting me to sleep as I was trying to get all the blogs scheduled late last night...

I am going to update the post with March & April Winners as well as May's challenge tomorrow...

Thank you

Mel

CHARMS CREATIONS...
 A bit about 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.



We also have an ALL NEW DESIGN TEAM  starting this month, please make them feel welcome :-)

WENDY SMITH...
 
Hi!
My name is Wendy Smith and I am really looking forward to being a part of the Scrap The Boys Design Team.

 

I live in Tasmania with my 2 boys, Charles and Angus, as well as my ever growing menagerie of animals, Jazz, Max and Gyspy.

I have been scrapbooking for about 9 years now, and it all started with my need to create a memory for my children. I wanted to scrap a single page for each month in their first year of life…and that was all I had planned. Who would have thought it would have ballooned into such an obsession?? I have had some terrific opportunities in the scrapbooking world including teaching, and designing for sites and magazines.

 

I am currently on the Design Team for Anna’s Craft Cupboard and the all new 123 Challenge Blog.

 

I love the creative outlet Scrapbooking provides for me, and of course I love all the products, but most of all I love seeing the way scrapbooking makes me view the world just a little bit differently and makes me see my children in a different light.

 



MONICA BRADY...

I have two boys and love scrapping funny and whimsical layouts about their escapades. 
I would say my style is simple. I love using lots of paper layers, playing with mists, paints,mediums and templates.I  love making my own embellisments or buying them from the super talented crafters who sell them online.
I love trying out new trendss well as revisiting older ones. 
I love to use brIght papers and dabble in vintage style layouts once in a while.

MAGALI aka LADYBIRD...

I am a scrapbooker since 2007 and I was published in several French-speaking magazines (Esprit Scrapbooking, Scrapbook Extra, Passion Scrapbooking). I was even part of the creative team of Scrapbook Extra for 4 years.
I am more known under the pseudo Ladybird.
I am currently in the creative team of :
- Scrapbook Laurentides (a scrapbooking shop in Quebec)
- Scraptus (an inspirational blog, taht you can find here : http://scraptus.blogspot.ca/
- Carnet de couleurs (a color combo blog : http://carnetdecouleurs.canalblog.com/
