Drumroll Please....

Have you got your latest copy of Scrapbook Inspirations yet? Well, what are you waiting for? You do know that if you subscribe you get it earlier? It only hits the shelves on Friday 18 September, but if it wasn't for the postal strike, we'd all have ours already.

Come on, what are you waiting for? SUBSCRIBE!!

So, I hear you ask, what's the fuss, why all the hype all of a sudden? Because, dear readers and blogging friends, it's going to be fabulous! The October issue marks the launch of the new look, new design team, new fabulous features and ideas magazine for scrapbookers...


Did you catch the bit about new design team? That's right folks, a brand new design team, and here we all are...


And while I do question why my face is up there amongst so many talented scrapbookers and crafters (yes, that's me second row far right!!) I feel honoured and excited to know that my personal scrapbooking style is going to take a huge leap forward as I challenge myself to create print-worthy pages and try out new techniques in the hope that I can share my mistakes and successes with everyone.

I can't believe that this has all come out of me entering the Best of British competition that was featured in the September 2008 issue of Scrapbook Inspirations. Timing had been everything - I picked up a copy of the magazine, saw the details, realised I had 6 original pages to submit, took new photos and entered in the closing week. I can still remember the day Rosie called to tell me I was one of the winners, I must have deafened her with my screech! It has been a wonderful year, and I can only imagine how much more exciting the year ahead is going to be.

So, without further ado, let me introduce my fellow team mates, and their blogs.
