I used this layout in both the Whitby and Hawkes Bay Memory Keeping classes recently.

I just love the colours in the Soda Pop paper. This is one to the "bridging" products from CTMH™ that Stampin' Up! purchased and is currently selling.

The workshop included a 12x12 full page layout and a pocket page.

In addition to the Soda Pop paper and stickers, I've used Basic White 12x12 as my base along with two-tone Pool Party 12x12 cardstock. I ripped the edges and then embossed the Pool Party strip with the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder. Once embossed, I sanded it slightly to give it a distressed look - showing the white core of the two-tone cardstock.

The filler cards of the pocket page included a miniature version of the 12x12 layout, along with an embossed and distressed piece of Pool Party, and a piece of the Soda Pop patterned paper.

This Soda Pop Paper and Sticker pack is one of the products on sale from tomorrow.

I'll be grabbing an extra pack!

Thanks to all who entered the door Prize Draw at the Wellington Paper Crafting and Mixed Media Expo held at the end of last month. Each of the four prizes contained something retired and something current.

The winners are:

Prize 1: Ursula Leggett

Prize 2: Sheila Reed

Prize 3: Jan Butwell

Prize 4: Sue Ross

It's been been crazy busy since then and it's taken me longer than I hoped to get the prizes packaged and ready to send. But they are good to go now!

You can expect these prizes to arrive by the end of the week.

It was a fun Expo and I loved seeing so many familiar faces - and meeting some new crafters as well.  Thanks for helping create some samples Beth & Kay and for helping me at the event Beth. 

Here's a few pics.
