Congratulations, Jessica Toulmin, winner of the August challenge!!!  Your RAK is on it's way.
This month's guest designer is Janet..
My 
name is Janet and I live on the beautiful Hibiscus Coast just north of Auckland. 
I am nearly 60, married for 38 years to a wonderful man – we have 2 gorgeous 
daughters, a great son-in-law and 2 awesome grandsons and I adore all of 
them!
I 
have been scrapbooking for several years, and was encouraged to start by my 
daughter Hannah. It sure is addictive and I find it very relaxing. I don’t think 
I have a particular style, but I do like to use ink, quite a lot of 
embellishments, ribbon and flowers! I am lucky enough to have a dedicated area 
in the spare room and love my little space.
I 
have had one layout and a card published in a NZ scrapbook magazine which I was 
totally over the moon about! One item off my goal list was achieved last 
year!
I 
make all my own cards, and have just started selling them, along with off the 
page items (notebooks, Journals, brag book albums, bookmarks) at local Craft 
Fairs.
I 
LOVE shopping for items, but also try to make use of my stash and old bits and 
pieces. One day I would like to learn a lot more different techniques and use 
more products.
Happy 
scrapping everyone!
Janet has chosen this beautiful sketch for you to create with this month.
And her lovely example.  I am sure some of you will recognise the subjects in this layout :)
