Hello everyone! It's a quiet week on the blog, which is always
an indication that it is ANYTHING BUT QUIET in real life!!

Now for some MORE wonderful news!!
I have finally scored a DOUBLE with PRIMA!!
I had both my April Prima projects featured!!!
Both the BAP & the PPP I entered - woo hoo!!!
I am an unashamed Primaholic as you are all fully aware by now...

Based on their sketch
Based on their Product Pick
If you love soft, romantic, floral type products Prima is the place for you,
although these days they have diversified into so many really modern
products too like trendy Pocket Page scrapbooking, etc. They have it
all & their quality & selection is second to none!
Honestly one of the reasons I became such a Prima fan is that most of
my scrapbook shopping is done online as there is really nothing local
for me that has a decent selection of the latest products. Going online
is my only option if I want to keep up to date but ONLINE SHOPPING
TAKES A HUGE AMOUNT OF TIME! So here's the trick...
I learnt some years back is that if you shop by MANUFACTURER
it speeds up the process A LOT & this is where PRIMA IS GREAT
- because they have everything you need so you are not store
hopping & you can pop everything in that cart, pay & you're done!!

STILL MORE GOOD NEWS!!
Last month I also entered the Scrap Friends Challenge
{they are now renamed Kreative Koncepts & under new ownership}
The colour challenge was REALLY CHALLENGING which is just what
I LOVE. Actually having a challenge rather than "anything goes!!"
Always great to stretch those brain cells a bit & in return be rewarded
with making something work despite the restrictions of, say, a bright
colour way as was the case here!
I have a stash of brighter papers from the days when they
were more "my thing" {oh yeah I've toned it down a LOT
over the years!} so it's always great to have a chance to use
up some older stash & when mixed with new stuff it slips
by undetected!! I did tone the shades down a notch but
still! The colours are all there :)
So I was featured in the TOP 5 - yay!!
That means I get next month's Colour Mood Board early
& get to Guest Design for them which is always great!
I have been a bad blog hopper of late & miss you all!
Time is not on my side this month as my day's are hectic
& my evenings have been full & busy too!! I live in HOPE
that I'll get to catching up on a lot of beautiful blogs at some point!
HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND CREATIVE PEEPS!!
