Scheme 30

2009-11-10T20:30:00.000Z

It's new scheme time! And I just adored the cute hearts on this picture so much I couldn't resist picking this as our next inspiration piece. The hearts are simply darling and the strings of fun shapes has also given me some ideas for some Christmas decorations!

We love when you play along, so after taking a peek at the team's pages don't forget to share your pages too!

Scheme 29

2009-10-29T20:34:00.001Z

This week the clocks went back an hour in the UK (I believe this weekend for the US) and as a result the nights are drawing in. Long dark evenings may be a rather disappointing after the summer but it does mean more quality scrapping time in the evenings! To lift the gloom we have a wonderful bright scheme for you to get stuck into this time!

Hope you like the scheme and decide to share your pages in the comments section!
