AND thank you to our NEW sponsor Corbett Creations Wood Veneers, who is sponsoring this challenge by offering a beautiful love-filled prize pack for our third winner!

Hi I am Jodi, Owner/Designer at Corbett Creations Wood Veneers. My laser cutting business is currently based in Canberra and has been something I have been working on for a little while now. It came about because I would be constantly frustrated that I couldn't find the perfect title or embellishment to finish off layouts, projects or gifts. I would then spend far too long trying to create the perfect embellishment and would sometimes rope my husband in to help me with all this cool tools in the man shed! He has a love for wood also and together we purchased our laser. I love being able to design and cut the perfect piece for someone to finish telling their story - the perfect title, the hard to find themed embellishment, a custom piece for the home or a meaningful gift, really makes me feel so happy because I know that their search is over and they have the perfect piece that they desired. I love to create in wood, chipboard, cardstock, paper and acrylic with so many different mediums I can create so many embellishments and titles - the possibilities are endless. Good luck and I look forward to seeing everyone's entries!
