Challenge 25......

Here is Challenge 25, a big 'Thank you' to Guiseppa for coming up with this one:

I thought it would be fun to talk a little about our kids. Challenge 25 is going to be about what your child or children like to do. If you don't have children maybe a grandchild, niece or nephew or if you are a Godparent, talk about your Godchildren. Are they involved in sports, music, art or maybe the school play? Let's talk about it. Lets see your layouts bragging about the wonderful children in your lives!

Please upload your LO's to our gallery, leave us a link in the comments or e-mail them to Butterflycrafts1@aol.com by 31st December to be in with a chance of becoming our January guest designer and this month our winner with also receive this prize RAK for our December sponsor The Sampler - Thank you Holly xxx.

Meet our December GD - Jody

Here's a little bit about Jody:

I first started scrapbooking in the summer of 2006 and submitted my first-ever scrapped (20 layouts) to Creating Keepsake's Scrapbooker of the Year Contest. I ended up being among the top 10 finalists and from there found out just how big the scrap industry really is!
I have been a Fashionista with Scrap In Style TV since it's inception in May 2007.
I scrap a variety of topics and projects and especially love taking pictures of my kids doing everyday things. I have 6 children- my oldest died at age 4 in a tragic incident and my other five range in ages from 14 months to 10 years old. they keep me very busy!
I enjoy blogging, baking, being a stay-at-home mom and find lots of inspiration on the internet.
My husband is a golf club manager in Michigan and one day I hope he moves us to a warmer state. =)

Here is an example of Jody's work:

Meet our December Sponsor - The Sampler kit club

This month we have another fantastic sponsor, 'The Sampler Kit Club' here is a little bit about The Sampler:

The Sampler has been founded upon the idea that finding the things we love should be simple and abundent. With that in mind, we build each month's kit with the most current scrapbooking releases along with amazing, unique finds from a wide variety of sources. We feel that this is a great way to provide our customers and friends the enjoyment of fabulous scrapbook, cardmaking, and altered art products, but with the ease of it showing up at your doorstep once a month and inspiration easily found online at The Crop Spot.

Thank you so much to Holly and The Sampler for sponsoring us this month xxx.

Challenge 24 and Butterfly Crafts 1st Birthday.....

I can't believe it is December already and today is also our 1st Birthday here at Butterfly crafts!!! I just want to take a moment to thanks everyone who has played along with us over the last year and all of our wonderful DT members :)

So here is the next challenge, a big 'thank you' to Fay for coming up with this one:

'What's your beauty regime?' Has it changed over the years, has it been influenced by anyone (mum, gran), do you have to have the latest products? Or are you a soap and water girl?

Here's what our wonderful DT came up with:

Avina

Brenda

Journaling reads - My beauty regiment leaves much to be desired. I know I should use all those beauty products faithfully every night, but by the time I go to bed I’m usually too exhausted to care

Fay

Journalling reads - 'I don't buy make-up very often and don't wear much on a daily basis, but every now and then I like to have a splurge. Lately it's all on Benefit!'

Kylie

Journaling reads - I am plain and simple but have a hectic life because of my children, so time is a factor...
