TooT TooT FoR mE

I am so excited and chuffed. Back in January I submitted my Urban Lily Secret Keeper Book to Scrapbook Trends for inclusion in their August 2008 issue. Well yesterday afternoon, I received an email saying that they would like to include it and could I post it to them by Friday 4th.....I cannot believe it, it is the first time I have ever submitted anything to a US mag, and the first time I have submitted anything to them. So last night I got everything ready for posting, filled out their product list (which was fab and very extensive) and signed the form. Now I just have to pray that it arrives in time, and that they actually use it. For being asked to submit you receive a parcel of scrapping goodies and two copies of the magazine....not bad as you get it even if they don't end up using it.

So anyway, this weeks challenge over on Tilda & Friends ATC Challenge Blog is "Check it Out"...you have to use checks on your ATC.
So for mine I stamped onto checked paper and cut out Edwin's trousers, I then stamped again onto the green paisley paper and cut out the top, the rest of tme image has been coloured with Primacolor's and blended with Sansador. The papers are K&Co "Hopscotch", the ribbon is American Craft and I used my ATB tape writer for the words.

Thanks ladies, I really am enjoying making ATC's for the first time ever....it's so nice to make something that I can keep.

Urban Lily Secret Keeper Cards

I have had these in my stash since they were released last year, and hadn't made any of the up. So last night I had a go at one of them. I have taken pics this afternoon, but the light was poor...sorry. Anyway here is the first side. I have used Urban Lily Rub-ons, Heidi Swapp Bling Crowns & MAMBI Bling Butterfly. It opens to reveal a picture of Georgia and another Urban Lily Rub-on. I used Sharpie pens in Black and Dark Pink.

On the reverse I have used Doodlebug Simply Sweet letter stickers, Urban Lily Rub-ons, Heidi Swapp Bling Crown and a couple of Butterflies that I got in HobbyCraft.
Inside this side there is a picture of Georgia's feet.

I had a lot of fun doing these, as I choose the "lush" ones, they were already decorated, so only took about 1 hour from start to finish.

Urban Lily Secret Keeper Board Book

OK, as promised here are the pictures of the Urban Lily Secret Keeper Board Book...decorated. Georgia still has to write some notes and draw a couple of pics to go in the secret bit. This was the "lush" one, so it was already pink/black & white.

I have decorated the cover with Hambly Transparancies (pink brick wall & black decorative circle) and added Heidi Swapp "Cherish" bling word, ATB Dymo, Doodlebug Simply Sweet stickers, Luxe Design Rubons , Rebekka Erikson Rubons and Love Elsie "Betty" ribbons. Since I took the picture I have added a lipstick charm to the ribbon, which I think came from Asda.

These are the first pages, as the book is already decorated with "lush" Urban Lily designs all I added was the cute pictures of Georgia and, on the left, Doodlebug Paper Frills, L'il Davis "Princess" rubons, and MAMBI Bling crown, and on the right, Heidi Swapp Bling Heart, Luxe Designs rubons.

These are the next pages, and I have used Heidi Swapp "She" Bling word, ATB Dymo, Luxe Designs rubons, and Heidi Swapp Bling Circle.
In these pages I have used more Heidi Swapp Bling circle & square, also L'il Davis "darling daughter" rubons, Creative Imaginations lipstick rubon, and Melissa Frances rubons.
Again on these pages there is more Heidi Swapp Bling "circle and square" Basic Grey rubons, Rebekka Erikson rubons, Luxe Designs rubons and Flair Design rubons.
These pages are using Melissa Frances rubons, Doodlebug Paper Frills, Doodlebug Simply Sweet stickers, Doodlebug Kitty rubons and flock stickers that came free in Scrapbook Inspirations in 2007.
These are the final pages of the book, and I have again used Doodlebug Simply Sweet stickers, ATB Dymo, Luxe Design rubons, MAMBI Bling "I {Heart} You" and the free flock stickers.

Thanks for taking the time to look....leave me a comment and let me know what you think.
