Dare # 13 Slide Show - check it out.

And the winner is.......

Amanda Lendrum
I love the simplicity of this layout, the mixture of flowers, buttons and brads and the large photo.
Amanda's take on the dare is
Something New is The heidi Swapp writing on the photo
Something Old is The photo
Something borrowed is the buttons of my Nana :D

Congratulations Amanda.

See you all next year!

Slide Show - Dare # 12

Dare # 13 - Lianne

This was a layout I did for work using the new Heidi Grace range we have just got in. I thought I'd share it as it fits in well with the theme.
Something New - Heidi Grace
Something old - Provocraft Bitty alphas
Something borrowed - the idea of using the circles - something a bit different for me.

This will be our last dare for 2006. We will be back into it mid January.

So please take this dare and be in to win a FANTASTIC prize from Scrapbook Outlet NZ.

Dare 13: Nic Howard

We are very lucky to have Nic Howard as Guest Contributer for this dare. Here is her awesome take on the dare.

Something old.... An oldie but a goodie, the good old punching hole technique. (and also BG skateShoppe!)

Something new - goes without saying - BasicGrey Blush.

Something borrowed - this page was done from a sketch from ww.pagemaps.com
