Challenge #25

It is our 2nd birthday here at 'Lets Get Shabby' and we would like to see you be inspired by this photo.

You will need to use the NUMBER 2 on your project and use TWO THINGS from the list below.

Lace
Chipboard
Ribbon
Material/Fabric
Book/Music page

You are allowed to use other items on your project as long as you use ONLY TWO FROM THE LIST.

Seeing as it is our 2nd birthday and we had our first ever sponsor return for our first birthday challenge we thought it would be nice to ask if she would like to return again and she has.

Nice to meet all of you! My name is Jenn (a.k.a JB or scrapperjjb) and I’m a wife to an avid fisherman & mother to two beautiful girls. I started scrapbooking 12 years ago & fell into the art of cardmaking. I haven’t been able to stop since. I want to thank Mandy and Julie for inviting me to be a guest member for this challenge. I had so much fun creating my card design from the inspiration photo. Happy 2nd Birthday, "Let's Get Shabby!"

INTRODUCING OUR NEXT SPONSOR.....

Please welcome the very lovely and talented

LEA

LITTLE BITS OF PRETTY

Here's Lea's story:

Hello! My name is Lea. I am blessed to be married to a wonderful husband and have three beautiful children who keep our days happy, interesting and full. In my spare time, I enjoy trawling op shops. I adore all things vintage and love finding something old and unwanted and giving it a new life. I dabble in a variety of crafts, sewing and scrapbooking and many of my thrifting treasures make their way into my creations. You can find out more about this on my crafty blog We like to make Stuff!

Six months ago, I launched Little Bits of Pretty.

Little Bits of Pretty is a fundraiser for The Children's Hospital at Westmead.

I am very passionate about raising as much money as possible for The Children's Hospital at Westmead. It is a massive lifeline for our family and many others.

At Little Bits of Pretty you will find a range of pretty bits and pieces, loads of vintage bookpapers, preloved doilies, thrifted trims, vintage sheeting and a range of lovely finds from my op shopping adventures, some lovingly handmade and all thoughtfully chosen. But the best bit... 100% of your sale will be donated to The Children's Hospital at Westmead.

I am thrilled to be sponsoring Let's Get Shabby this month. It is a beautiful and inspiring challenge blog!
