Dream

Last weekend I spotted a post on the inspireME site from the Aussie Scrap Source blog, they had set a challenge to create a page using Websters Pages and you had to include WP trims and alpha stickers. The prize was in my mind amazing, the chance to be a guest designer for Websters for a month! So I set to creating my page, I only had a couple of days to get it done as the closing date was Tuesday. Sadly I didn't win, there were some amazing entries and the winners page was just stunning. I loved creating the page though and am still totally loving WP!
When I went to Ally Pally in April I picked up some Life's Portrait WP's, I have used them on this page with a small amount of Ladies and Gents.


I have had another go at using Liquid pearls and thankfully didn't smudge it too much this time! I simply added a line of dots along the edge of the scallop and highlighted some areas of the photo frame.






I also have some exciting news to share! Last week I received an email from Caroline, she is organising the Scrapstars retreat in September this year and has asked me to teach! I was so shocked, I have taught a couple of time before, despite the nerves, once I have got going I really really enjoy it, but never really thought about teaching at other venues. There have been two other teachers announced so far and I can't believe I am going to be teaching along side them. I am one excited scrapper!

Fantastic news Rachel! You must be delighted. I am sure that you and your students will really enjoy your class. Your layout is lovely but I can't believe you didn't win. You have such talent at using the WP patterned papers which I have to say I struggle with, but your are always lovely. Thanks for sharing :)
