Pay it Forward and a couple of LOs

You may remember that I took part in Pay it Forward - well yesterday three gorgeous cards arrived in the mail - all the way from the USA. Thank you Marie they're fabulous and will be put to good use :) Now part of the rules were that I had to post my gift here. So, here we go:



I've been working on my own PIF gifts for Karen and Moi and I'll be sending them off on Monday ;)

Last night I did an online clas with Moi over at Scrap of your Life. The LO was a 8.5x11 so it was perfect for my Birthday album. I really enjoyed the class and am really pleased with my LO - thanks Moi :) It's of my friends Felicia and Retlaw. Felicia is one of my swimming buddies and Retlaw trains with Rob.


I also tried to take a self-portrait for my album but all the shots ended up being pretty goofy so I decided to just go with it - here is the result.

The journalling says "a cheesy self-portrait taken of my newly-40 face. Ooh wrinkles!" I used the badge that Colleen gave me and insisted I wear at my party :) I thought it went well with the BG Lemonade papers. The design is based on Liz Webber's latest sketch over at A Page from my Sketchbook.

Ok that's me for today. Some of the girls are coming over to make some Stampin' Up cards soon and I need to organise tasty snacks ;) Thanks for visiting!

Hi Ali, WoW your layout is so beautiful and I LOVE your paper choice, a personal fav of mine. Thanks so very much for your kind words and for using my sketches, I just adore seeing what you create with them.

Love your cards - great idea with the PIF. Have fun and thanks again Ali! I loved "seeing" your creations here (and just love your blog title hehe)
