Challenge.. Should you accept... Remembering a Friend


Hi All for those of you who have been just as excited about this as I have I would like to now reveal what I have in store for you this month! This is just a one-off to remember a loved one and just to end 2009 on a high note and appreciate what we all have in life. It is fast approaching the anniversary of our dear friend and fellow scrapping buddy Dee's passing. For those of you who weren't fortunate enough to know Dee, here is a link to her blog for you to read a bit more about her: HERE In honour of Dee and to celebrate life and as a remembrance to her, I have designed a challenge with some prizes.



The Criteria:* It must be a layout or a card submitted to me by the 31st December 09 @ mumofheidi@bigpond.com*

It must feature predominantly the colours: pink (in representation of breast cancer) blue (in representation of prostate cancer) yellow (in representation of daffodil day)

*It must include this quote by Dee: "I chose life- because it is glorious!"- Dee Lewthwaithe



AS A BONUS: for those who have a blog-- if you mention this on your blog (post a comment here so i know) you will go in the draw for a prize as well- easy peasy!

I have generously received some prize packs from both Tam Partridge and Krissy Christie which will go to the winners @ the conclusion of the comp..... Have fun guys, and can't wait to see what you come up with!! Love Kate xox
