The day i won an Oscar.

In 2010 I organised a trip to Harrogate GNPE
for the craft group i attend
(Crafty Crafters)
I had decided to enter a card into the best card-maker competition,
When we arrived i put it in the box marked intermediate, some of my friends encouraged me to put it in the box marked advanced,
I'm so glad i did, i was thrilled to bits when they announced i had won.
I didn't think i had much chance.
The moral of this story is, never underestimate yourself, You could get a pleasant suprise.

Come & join in this great challenge over at http://lejdesignschallengeblog.blogspot.co.uk/
The theme is "alter it / gifts......
My 3 pictures were quite dull looking, i decided to update them with a modern black & white theme.
1st i painted the frames with black gloss, then i used wallpaper (my favourite money saver) as a background, next i painted the tiles with white gloss..... simple.
I'm quite pleased with the result, i hope you like it.
