We have a winner.. and a little layout!

First of all: thank you so much for all your sweet New Years wishes!!!!!!!

Remember I posted a card workshop back in December??? I'm so happy that so many of you took the time to create a little card folowing this workshop!!!! I asked my BF to pick randomly a name today for a RAK.. and the winner is...... drumroll.......... MARIE!!! (Marie, e-mail me your addy and I'll send you a little something!!!). Thanks to all of your for playing along!! Be sure to check out my blog in a little while for some more little workshops!!

A little while ago I showed you all a sneak-peek of a layout that I had created for CreativeXpress!!!! Well, I'm allowed to show you the whole layout now!!!! So happy about that. I've used KI Memories patterned paper here. The pictures are from our US trip in 2007!
And here are some details.....
A lot of people are wondering what tool I'm using to create the circles on my creations, well I'm using a Orbis Circle cutter for this. For me this works perfectly.. but I know some people are having problems using it (IF you decide to buy one..remember to turn the wheel counter clockwise). Here's a little pic of this circle cutter: I'm gonna sit down with a cup of hot tea now.. it's so cold outside.. brrrr... but it's nice and cozy inside.. we still have our Christmas tree up.. hehe..

Have a great day and thanks again for stopping by!!

XOXO
Nancy

    Mooie Lo. Ja het is echt koud en het sneeuwt hier zelfs een beetje. Ik ben verslaafd aan de Minty Morrocothee, knap je helemaal van op.groetjes.

What do you use for the little white circles along the edges of your pictures? I notice you do that alot... I love the look of it and have always wondered what it was.... ? I hope you are having a great day!

    J' adore cette page, je la trouve vraiment très belle, pourquoi je ne sais pas : les couleurs , les photos, la déco ???? en attendant elle est sublime. Je l' avais déjà vu sur le site de creativexpress, et j' attendais de pouvoir enfin te dire a quel point elle est jolie.
    C'est certainement un scraplift pour moi, dans peu de temps.
    Grosses bises à bientôt, je t'envoie un mail dans les jours à venir, pour plus de nouvelles.

    wat een supergave lo heb je weer gemaakt ! je hebt weer een 'nieuwe' stijl ontwikkeld ;-) niet je nu een stuk cardstock aan een vel design papier en gebruik je dat als achtergrond ? ziet er in ieder geval weer geweldig uit ...

    Jammer dat ik de challenge niet heb gewonnen maar volgende keer doe ik gewoon weer mee. Ben erg benieuwd wat je dit keer gaat verzinnen :-D

    Ik heb pas de Curvy Cutter gekocht, moet er alleen nog een beetje mee leren werken maar het gaat al aardig.
