Good morning.

It's time to announce of winners from the September sketches. But before then, I do want to give out 2 honorable mentions as well. As our sponsors are Australian based, unfortunately this excludes our international entrants. But these 2 entrants received quite a number of votes from our CT and I want to highlight them today as well.

October 1st Sketch

Morning

A new month is upon us again. It's a public holiday in some states of Australia today. Perfect chance to sit down and do some scrapping.

We also have a new guest designer to introduce to you as well - Georgia Heald.

I'm Georgia, 36 and I live in beautiful Tasmania, Australia. I run an online kit club/scrapbooking store business as well as being a wife to Daron, mum to Mitchell (15) and a step mum to Jessica (19) and Tyler (22). I discovered scrapbooking in March 2011 and became instantly addicted! I love absolutely everything about this fabulous hobby. From the creative side of playing with gorgeous papers and embellishments to the fabulous community of supportive and inspiring  women. My style of scrapbooking varies greatly but my pages are generally mixed media based with lots of layers and a hint of grunge. I am currently a design team member at Once Upon A Sketch, Bird Is The Word and Keeping The Best and have my work published regularly in Australian Scrapbooking Memories and Scrapbook Creations.  

My blog:  www.startingtoscrap.blogspot.com.au  

My store: www.paperstories.com.au.  

A huge thank you to Sara for having me as a guest designer this month!

And onto our newest sketch and Creative Team samples.
